I like here. I know!

So just straight-up lying.

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

"'They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van,' she said..."

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

Ford CEO says $2 billion in tariff costs prevents more US investments Ford CEO Jim Farley says tariffs on imported parts are driving up costs on the company's cars.

Ford CEO on tariffs: “I mean, it's frustrating 'cause we're the most American auto company, and we export the most, and yet, we have this $2 billion headwind, which prevents me from investing even more in the US.”

In the American system of government, a legislature of the people’s elected representatives decide how to allocate the people’s money, then an unelected appointee in the executive branch called “OMB Director” decides if he feels like distributing the people’s money that way or if he’d rather not.

Stephen Miller @StephenM The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks. 1:59 PM · Oct 4, 2025 · 1.3M Views

This is a declaration they will use federal resources to deploy violence against judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general. There's no other coherent interpretation of the phrasing, including "only remedy," "legitimate state power," and connecting those people with "terror networks."

‘Dangerous and un-American’: Politicians deride Trump administration over leaked messages on deploying Army to Portland Several Democrats in Minnesota and Oregon criticized the administration this weekend, responding to an exclusive report by the Minnesota Star Tribune.

“These leaked messages make it blatantly clear that the decision to send troops to Portland is based on political optics, not safety,” said U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore.

“If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we're cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America's long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war." - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Again, Kavanaugh justified racial profiling by claiming that this doesn't happen--a justification that becomes more preposterous with each passing day as Trump's goons terrorize more people based on the color of their skin

The rec center as oasis Although technically on vacation, you could find Herman Harried walking through the doors of East Baltimore’s Cecil Kirk Recreation Center most mornings this summer. He wasn’t there on the clock, but ...

A great piece in @baltimorebeat.bsky.social on the history & revival of rec centers for youth in Baltimore. A critical community infrastructure with deep roots in Black neighborhoods given new life by @mayorbmscott.bsky.social.

We are here, in part, because guys like Schatz would never say this to "ezra klein" - a rich media guy - but somehow think "adam" is suppose to be dismissed and ignored but also do unpaid comms work for them

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.

They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

Terrible this is happening; great that we have a prominent governor telling us about it in real time.

All eyes on Broadview, Illinois tonight.

Broadview is a suburb about 12 miles west of Chicago.

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!!

Just the one!!

This is a great listen, highly recommend.

I could’ve used 2+ more hours of Jamelle and Sherilyn discussing ‘Southern redemption’ and the Reconstruction era — it’s crucial context for what’s going down right now.

Again, this is what the SCOTUS has sanctioned. On Sept. 10th @chrislhayes.bsky.social and I talked about Justice Kavanaugh’s opinion white-washing ICE raids in Noem v. Vazquez Perdomo. His fact-free opinion was either naive, lazy, or sinister. The Trump Admin read it as a green light.

Broadview ICE facility protest draws hundreds, several arrested Several protesters have been arrested or detained at a demonstration outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, where they demanded transparency and accountability from federal officials.

Precisely.

I saw a post the other day that said something to the effect of ICE is a job guarantee program for racists and domestic abusers and they weren't wrong

Security guard describes federal agents chasing Black man in East Garfield Park • The TRiiBE Agents were also seen choking a Black man; DHS denies allegations.

NEW — Darius Fitzgerald, a security guard, was in the midst of a 10-hour shift at a BP gas station in Chicago’s East Garfield Park on Wednesday when he saw a Black man being chased by two federal agents.

Would you open the door to men who approached you like this?

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

This story is breaking my heart. And making me so furious.
