From Anne Applebaum re Trump cheating in the 2026 elections:

"Cancelling him is not the answer... When we disagree with a person's thoughts and opinions, we challenge those ideas in debate."
Itβs been 30 days since Republicans shut down the governmentβand the consequences of their inaction keep coming.
π΄ SNAP runs out of funding in less than 48 hours
π΄ Health care premiums will soar on Saturday
This is why we need to flip the House for Democrats in 2026.
This is Rachel Riley, who prior to this had been involved in planning out the layoffs at HHS. Unclear how or why this lateral move happened...

This sweet guitar player, Joselyn Walsh, is one of the 6 brave protesters indicted in Chicago for protesting ICE, along with Kat Abughazaleh.
Here she is singing a song after the tear gas cleared. The next day, she was hit with a rubber ball & her guitar got a hole in it (see image below).

I'm grateful for Daniel for writing this thoughtful thread on the Gates Memo so I didn't have to (I'm currently drowning at work). I'm so grateful for his advocacy and his clear, evidence-based perspective.
30.10.2025 20:43 β π 37 π 11 π¬ 0 π 0Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firmβauthorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties βin any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.β
NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractorsβturning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.
