"A spokesperson said layoffs will be ‘substantial.’ The departments of Education and Health and Human Services are among the impacted."

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

This man fashions himself a modern day Moses. He can f*** all the way off.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Pick your battle because it’s one or the other. Either we shut everything down with a general strike and protest every day or we let assholes like this terrorize us. Which do you want?

Let's Not Forget About Musk

Elon Musk: Proof That Cash Buys Immunity

Musk spent $352 million backing Trump’s rise.

In exchange, Musk’s companies - Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, xAI - saw case after case disappear.

Musk's DOGE targeted agency investigators and departments for termination.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Jesus. You think it can’t get any worse, then you read these stories. US citizens and legal residents illegally arrested and held for days. **Native Americans** getting detained and held for days because ICE agents are too stupid/racist to know about tribal IDs.

lol it’s this guy

Watters has damaged the public wellbeing and needs to be sued and tried criminally.

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

Looks like Eric Trump if he blew his eyebrows off trying to make homemade ecstasy

I do not deny antisemitism, any more than other racism. But the fact, that protesting the genocide of another set of people. is being viewed as antisemitic, shows how far antisemitism has been weaponised.

Pentagon plans widespread random polygraphs, NDAs to stanch leaks The Pentagon is planning to require thousands of uniformed and civilian officials to sign nondisclosure agreements and submit to random polygraph testing.

This is stunning. Wow.

On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him?”

The stage of deterioration where gangs of large (mostly) white men just publicly assault people who seem to be brown because they're brown in the hopes of doing far more harm to them in the name of the state. Glad this one escaped.

Public radio was alive and well in NYC tonight, as NPR station WQXR presented the “History of Movie Music” w/ conductor Leonard Slatkin.

Host Elliott Forrest asked the sold-out crowd how many of us were NPR members.

All hands went up, of course #FilmSky #NPR #PublicBroadcasting

NEW: Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield says the state has filed a lawsuit to block Trump from deploying the National Guard to Portland.

Sinclair is caving and bringing back Kimmel.

Money, folks. Public pressure. They dont have the numbers. Remember this and increase the efforts.

BREAKING: Sinclair FOLDS and ends its preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show will return tonight on Sinclair's ABC affiliates.

This is also very funny to read after the thoughtcrime memo declaring certain words (being mean to conservatives) tantamount to violence. Trump never fails to humiliate his defenders, were they capable of shame. bsky.app/profile/bgru...

Trump Is Trying to Memory-Hole One of the Most Important Historical Images of Slavery

Autism, MAHA, and the Face of God One part junk science, two parts incompetent government, and with a dash of blasphemy, for seasoning.

In case you missed this terrific JVL piece due to Rosh Hashanah, or some other reason: It’s a must read. Captures how sick and sickening Trump and Kennedy were on Monday, with their toxic mix of idiocy, cruelty, misogyny, and eugenics. Really the spirit of fascism.

The thing about Jimmy Kimmel and Disney is that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.
