Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Chicago October 2025.......

The entire government is staffed with guys who were SWATting e-girls two years ago

What is that weapon?

Evil evil court

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

This is rampant lawlessness

The law says what it says, and Russ Vought doesn't get to unilaterally change that

www.govexec.com/pay-benefits...

whats the point in "dealing" with the Trump administration when this is the person executing the deal, and is openly promising to violate the laws and break any agreeement? If you want to bargain for something in the shutdown fight, make firing Vought a condition of any funding package.

The Brutal CBP Assault Tied to the Marimar Martinez Shooting

I guess we’re at the “desegregation was bad” op-Ed’s in NYT stage of MAGA’s campaign to create Jim Crow II.

I agree. We need to start appropriately identifying these as extrajudicial killings and murders by agents for the state.

DHS is repelling from helicopters into apartment buildings to raid them and zip tie children in the middle of the night while saying "fuck them kids." They're shooting at people on the streets and lying about it.

This is a hostile occupying force that is a threat to everyone's safety.

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

'The opinion is significant, legal experts said, because it appears to justify an open-ended war against a secret list of groups giving the president power to designate drug traffickers as enemy combatants and have them summarily killed without legal review.' www.cnn.com/2025/10/06/p...

It is not clear what is behind the move by Michael Ellis, a Trump loyalist. A legal ethics specialist said it could raise conflict-of-interest issues.

The Bills should probably cover Diggs

David would want focus to remain steadfastly on Palestine. But US representatives of conscience should all be demanding Israel immediately release David & all Flotilla crew members; they should also end all support for the genocidal ethnostate holding them captive.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

It was clear from the beginning that ICE staffing up was going to be a full employment program for racists, barroom bullies and wife beaters

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

There Was a Plan to Save These New Deal Masterpieces. Then Trump Won. A feasibility study was underway about restoring the ailing federal building that houses important Ben Shahn frescoes, Philip Guston murals, and other FDR-era artwork. But the Trump administration put a stop to it.

One of the delights of working for the Voice of America in the Cohen Federal Building was the New Deal era frescoes and murals. Along with VOA and its staff, it now appears these treasured American works of art are to be a DOGE casualty. newrepublic.com/article/20120... #SaveVOA

The Billionaire Behind Trump’s Deal for Universities

the usual story. rich guy wants to punish universities for not clamping down on pro-palestinian protests and for doing too much to recruit minorities. at base these guys want the top tier of american universities to become, once more, safe-spaces for their dunderheaded failsons

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources."

Oracle is about to own TikTok.

ICE impersonator incidents rise during Trump’s second term | CNN A CNN review has found two dozen incidents of people posing as ICE officers in 2025 – more incidents than during the prior four presidential terms combined.

Conflict of interest, anyone?

That the right wing free speech people are liars has always been clear. The American right wing depends on censorship, as @pastpunditry.bsky.social recently wrote.

What pisses me off is the way the establishment left and center laundered right wing claims. Like the Harper’s Letter.

ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.

New reporting from MSNBC and @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social: A source familiar with the matter confirms an FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey. Comey is being allowed to surrender for booking at his arraignment next week
