the video being projected behind all the performers on stage

lmao david byrne showed the video of the ice agents tripping over themselves while trying to run after a biker on wacker drive during the “life during wartime” segment of his chicago show tonight

Statesman Journal & •• • 2h • See the photos: About 150 people gathered in front of the Oregon State Capitol for the Oregon For The People rally on Oct. 18 in Salem. bit.ly/471blmM s 578 267 comments 39 shares

Oregon conservatives promoted this event for weeks. They organized a caravan from locations across the state for it. The pictured Christian Nationalist preacher promoted it in his Salem church. According to other news outlets and my own observations, about 50 people showed up. Sad.

Donald Trump shelled J.D. Vance's security detail.

Student government leaders of MIT, UVA, U of AZ, Dartmouth, UPenn, Brown, and Vanderbilt united in their opposition to the "compact" proposed by the Trump administration.

Nice….

"Support the troops, y'all!"

Respect to those who got here first.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Important reporting from Zeteo's new political reporter @andrewperez.bsky.social

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Folks, if ICE shot a pastor in the head with a pepper ball on camera, what do you think they do to people behind closed doors?

YouTube video by MSNBC Neighbors push back as Trump's ICE army terrorizes Chicago suburbs

I met Samantha after Trump’s agents took her mom off the street yesterday, which she confirmed by watching video we showed her.

“She looks ready to cry… she wanted to go to the store. She wanted to make some albondigas which is basically a meatball stew” youtu.be/9dx266qOOic?...

Reporter's notebook: I actually began working on this story shortly after footage of the incident showed up last month.

But by the time I finally got ahold of folks, the story grew: 2 *other* faith leaders I spoke with *also* reported being shot w/pepper balls while protesting this ICE facility.

I've been at many protests in our city over the years for a variety of different things, in my clergy attire, desiring to be a presence for peace in situations that can get volatile, desiring to be a person who different sides can be able to approach and talk with and have conversations with. I do think this is one of the important roles that faith leaders can play in contentious public situations. This was the first time that I felt like there was absolutely no regard and no respect for a person who was visibly associated with the faith tradition. It did not seem like it made one iota of difference.

I spoke to another pastor after publication, Rev. David Swanson.

He's only been to the facility once (last Friday), and wasn't shot w/pepper balls.

Instead, he says senior Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino just walked up to him — in full clerical garb — and began shoving.

He put it this way:

The Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist pastor who leads United Church of Rogers Park in Chicago, has also protested at the Broadview facility on several occasions. She, like Black, said she has been shot multiple times with pepper bullets, including while she was praying with her eyes closed and hands lifted, wearing a clerical collar and stole. She said she often prays for the ICE agents, but especially for the immigrants detained inside. "I am praying for all of the people inside to be returned to their communities," she said. "These are our friends, our family, our cousins, our uncles. These are our community members, and they are being stolen." At least once, Kardon said, agents fired a pepper ball at her without warning, leaving her with a bruise on her abdomen that has lasted for weeks.

In my early interviews, it came up organically, initially without my even asking.

It quickly became clear that this was a common experience.

E.g., here's what the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a Methodist minister who has been protesting at the site, told me.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

There is no left wing terrorism organization or machine in America.

They just want to kill Americans.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

I’m telling you, there’s just not enough outrage about the craven actions of Speaker Mike Johnson.

I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of @bendthearc.bsky.social, , their first ever in a mayoral election.
