White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

Wow, look at all these avid motorists. It’s amazing they use their cars for everything. "You really take that just to go to the grocery store? What do you do when the weather is nice?" Such a cool hobby!

300 school streets in 5 years.

It is possible to make rapid change.

Taking political positions that'll make it more likely to win Senate seats in Kansas and Ohio and Missouri. Trying to open your coalition to people you didn't want it open to before. Running pro-life Democrats.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

Kamala Harris cites concerns about trans athletes in her book The Trump campaign attacked Harris over her positions on transgender rights. She says they were misconstrued.

Jesus christ. It angers me deeply how not a single damn person in power who wants to at least pretend like they give a shit shout trans people will read even one damn book about the history of sex segregation in sports, cause you’d see how it’s all just sexist bs. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Remember literally three years ago, when centrist pundits claimed that the trans backlash was really just a wonky debate over the correct medical standards for children?

Fast-forward to today and you have members of Congress calling for ALL trans people to be seized and held incommunicado

Story after story about how it's shocking Charlie Kirk's accused murderer could have done what he did when he grew up with such a great family.

His family took him to gun shows, bought him a gun, and encouraged him to learn how to get good at shooting guns, which is why he succeeded at murder.

wild day of witnessing half our elected officials treat the shooting of a white supremacist youtuber like the assassination of a colleague

225 bus only lanes through otay?? Feels like the exception here, no?

💯 Cars, especially rideshares, drive extremely recklessly endangering park goers.

Cars have access to every parking lot from Park Blvd, they don't need to cross the bridge.

Below, I'm riding just over the 15 mph speed limit. Cars are blasting thru the plaza at over 30. We meet up at the stop sign.

Important to note that what they mean by ebike injuries usually means being hit by a car while riding an ebike.

Also, cars have killed 46 people in the county of Honolulu already in 2025. 46! Ebikes have killed no one.

Screenshot from threads post: @theadvocatemag Pete Buttigieg weighs in on 'fairness' of transgender kids playing girls' sports He conceded that parents have legitimate concerns.

Not that I’m surprised but fuck you too Mayor Pete

Usually I have to convince people to hear me out when I make my “cars played a critical role in creating American fascism” argument, sometimes the fascists make that argument for me.

On the subject of WNBA pay, here’s some perspective from my January 2020 @wsj.com story, when the current CBA was signed:

My favorite is when they tell me my bike uses up too much road space.

Wish they cared about enforcing dangerous driving in the park as much as they do about preserving parking spots for people privileged enough to already have housing.

“Prison phone calls have been shown to compel good behavior and rehabilitation. . . . Studies have also shown that communication with loved ones and strong family ties lead to decreased violence in prison and make people more likely to succeed and refrain from criminality after release.”

I guess the media needs it to be spelled out but the core principle of RFKj wellness fascism is that if you get sick it’s your fault, you could have avoided it by using the right “supplements” and working out, so you might as well die because you’re of no use

"In talking to a source or two, it appears that Bonner was unable to, in some way, shape, or form, just deal with that spotlight, which is white hot," Brennan said after noting that Bonner said she was "shocked" about the reception Indiana was getting at home games, which is a byproduct of Caitlin Clark's superstardom. "It's just a super hot spotlight. And instead of loving it, and going with it, and making money because Caitlin can't do every supermarket gig... they're all getting all that stuff, the Fever players, because Caitlin can't do everything. And so this is a great life for them. And [Bonner] couldn't handle it, or didn't want it, or was getting to her," Brennan added.

DeWanna Bonner has been in the league 16 years and won two championships. She played alongside Diana Taurasi. To imply that she “couldn’t handle the spotlight” in Indiana is absurd and insulting.

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

NYT headline: How the Transgender Rights Movement Bet on the Supreme Court and Lost Here's the inside story of the case that could set the movement back a generation.

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

Was consumed all day at work by the fact that trump tweeted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" at Iran, which from any normal president would be hugely consequential and it wasn't even a story because the media has just sort of deformed itself into nihilistic acceptance of the fact that he's insane

The squeaking is what elevates it to art.

when law enforcement is ever present and suddenly not required to show identification or act professionally, all someone needs to commit their preferred act of atrocity is half of a spirit halloween costume

A few days after Kristi Noem said that she wanted to liberate municipalities from dems who were elected to office...

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
 
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

The reason we can’t afford social services is because we give the lion’s share of our money to either actual military to beat up on people abroad, or paramilitary forces to beat up on people at home.

We should stop doing that.

TRUMP PUT THIS GUY IN CHARGE OF THE GOVERNMENT.
