ICE deported a man who claims US citizenship after federal judge blocked his removal

How would you describe that worldview? My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

ICE is out of control and beyond repair This agency needs to be stripped down to the studs. Dems should start preparing now.

"The next presidency is going to have to embark on a sweeping de-Trump-ification of the entire federal government to purge it of the culture of abuse and lawlessness that has taken hold, and there are few more vivid examples than ICE." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

as i said, the jones text scandal might have made a difference had it dropped three days before the election. as it stands, not so much.

Democrats Fell Prey To The Same Toxic Dynamics That Destroyed Mainstream News Instead of fighting smears, they appeased the smear merchants.

@brianbeutler.bsky.social: “Perception of Dems is shaped by the same forces that destroyed credibility of mainstream news. Like news outlets, they reasoned they could only win back lost voters thru conciliation.”

Zohran Mamdani, the Internet’s Mayor Mere months ago, New York’s mayoral front-runner was polling right next to “Someone Else.” He spoke to WIRED about building a social media machine, Big Tech capitulation, and learning from Eric Adams.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is everywhere. But it didn't start that way.

There was a time when the mayoral front-runner was polling at 1%, tied literally with "Someone Else." Now he has an 80,000-strong army of volunteers, a killer social strategy, and the internet on his side.

Higher Obamacare Prices Become Public in a Dozen States Consumers are facing greater costs for their 2026 A.C.A. health coverage as Congress continues to debate whether to extend subsidies that help people afford their premiums.

Health insurance prices for next year under the Affordable Care Act are now available in about a dozen states, giving Americans their first look at the sharp increases many will pay for coverage if Congress does not extend subsidies that have made some plans more affordable.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Trump's agents have been snatching people off the streets without due process — and over 170 US citizens have been caught in the mix. Outrageous and unacceptable. The lawlessness must end.

ICE took a mother from our school today. She went to support her son at hearing. ICE took her for good measure. The bus driver knew mom was kidnapped. She always picked up the kids. Mom used her one phone call to beg Principal to save her children from ICE. We are a country run by a cruelty cult.

The resistance reaches into Trump country As organizers for No Kings 2 seek historic turnout on Oct. 18, the broader pro-democracy movement has already broken new ground.

"We find that protest events now occur across a wider range of U.S. counties than we have observed since January 2017. And the current protest movement has already reached deeper into Trump country than at almost any point during the first Trump administration."

They said ICE would go after criminals. They are arresting cops.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

I’m just gonna show people this when they ask me why don’t I work with Rs in Congress on immigration - or democracy for that matter.

a real question for the roberts majority is what in their view distinguishes jim crow disenfranchisement from majority-minority districts? a related question is what in their view made the typical jim crow law — which was facially neutral — unconstitutional?

We really need to stop electing folks from the geriatrics generation.
