I love gardening, dancing, people taking care of each other, reading, sewing, global and national issues, astrology, crystals. Music is a biggie.

A known CBP officer chokes a young man who said mean things to him.

A known CBP officer chokes a young man who said mean things to him.

A post on IG that identifies the CBP officer who choked and assaulted the young man. It states "The Department of Homeland Security recently sent Meta a Subpoena demanding to identify @stopicenet , @longbeachrapidresponse , and other instagram accounts who reported on Simeon last month. The subpoena referenced a โ€œcriminal investigationโ€ noting โ€œofficer safety / doxxing.โ€ 

A federal court has since issued a temporary order blocking the Subpoena from DHS. 

This is certainly not the first time we have seen ICE / Border Patrol agents violently attack people for exercising their First Amendment rights. These attacks are part of a larger pattern of intimidation designed to โ€œpunishโ€ anyone who speaks out against the unconstitutional and reckless raids currently occupying and terrorizing our communities.

Activists in L.A. identified this CBP officer earlier this yr. Today, he choked, body slammed and detained a young man in Chicago. What's particularly fashy about this moment is that CBP officers get to commit crimes w/ impunity and people who tell you their identities are charged with felonies.

Man is @carolleonnig.bsky.social killing it lately with scoops. But this one is going to be a potential slut fast within DOJ. So harkening that career prosecutors are still standing up for the rule of law.

A defining feature of an emerging authoritarian regime is that it makes the opposition feel like shit on a daily basis. Every day, there is some new atrocity committed; some new institution attacked; some new democratic norm demolished. Some of it -- much of it -- we have little ability to stop in the moment. 

But thatโ€™s not how to measure the health of an anti-authoritarian movement. Instead, we should measure it this way:

Are we more unified than we were before?
Are we bigger than we were before?
Are our tactics proliferating? 
Is the regimeโ€™s popularity falling?

What if this holiday season, we spend our money at local/small businesses? Do some research and find alternatives. Money still flows into the economy, but not through the oligarch-owned corporate channels.

Even if we only bought 30% of our gifts this way, we'd make a dent and send a message.

The reason why Trump canโ€™t simply say โ€œnoโ€ when asked if he will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell is he needs her to continue to cover for him. Giving her hope for a pardon guarantees she will keep her mouth shut about what she knows.

Dr Albert Sabin

On this day in 1956 Albert Sabin announced an oral polio vaccine, which surpassed Jonas Salk's vaccine in making polio a thing of the past for millions around the world.

Polio afflicted FDR, Mitch McConnell, Robert Redford, and many others.

Let's not let RFK Jr bring it back.

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...
