ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’ Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a

On top of detaining U.S. citizens, ICE is now fining legal residents for not carrying their papers.

It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

Breaking: NBC fires teams of journalists focused on marginalized communities, axing NBC Out & NBC BLK staff NBC News has fired journalists who reported on Black, Latino, Asian and LGBTQ+ communities.

Very sad to see NBC Out go down. I know journalists who have worked there and it was home to some of the best in depth reporting on LGBTQ+ issues out there from a legacy media outlet.

Legacy media continues to abandon us, and it seems only we can tell our own stories these days.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin: "We want to sit in a room and have a negotiation. We don't want to negotiate through the press. I don't need to watch Senator Thune on TV in order to find out what he says he's offering. Just get in a room like adults do and we can talk this out."

Solidarity is the only way

Oh this is not great

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.

Listen to Ken Burns ( and forgive my sometimes noisy puppy)

Chloe Cole: The existence of even one detransitioner dismantles the central lie of transgenderism, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Same shit different era.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

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"

Epstein Files Fight: Rep.-Elect Grijalva Still Waiting to Be Sworn In Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, who won a special election for a House seat in Arizona two weeks ago, has still not been sworn in to Congress. Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is bl...

Johnson is blaming the government shutdown for the delay, even though he previously expedited the swearing-in of multiple Republicans who won their special elections before election results were even in.

Always bring it back to the Epstein Files.

Release the Epstein Files—seat Rep. Grijalda.

That's Trump's weakness and Achilles cankle.

He can't run or hobble away from it.

Republicans know it.

They know they radicalized their base for the past decade.

They know Trump is all up in those files.

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."

#OnMyWalk this guy waved & beckoned me over! The weird mist swirling around him gave me chills, so I RAN the other way! Think he was just being friendly? #HalloweenIsComing🎃 #Skeletons #Ghosts #Spooky #Bats #BeKind Sending Love To You All🧡👻💛🐈‍⬛🧡🎃💛🧙‍♀️🧡🧛‍♂️💛☠️🧡🦇💛🕷️🧡👻💛🐈‍⬛🧡🎃💛🧙‍♀️🧡🧛‍♂️💛☠️🧡🦇

This strikes me as pretty bad

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

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.

A glimpse into life in Kyiv.
Air raid alert.
I’m at the metro station,
waiting for the all clear to cross the bridge
(trains don’t cross the river during alerts, it’s dangerous).

I have books to read.
So I’m sitting and reading.

I think Greta Thunberg deserves a @NobelPrize and more.
But what she really wants is an end to the starvation, maiming and killing of Gaza’s entrapped and helpless civilians, - and of course the respect and care our Earth requires

There it is

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Truthful facts 💯🎯

Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm' Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

“We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it,” according to an open letter signed by 282 former officials.

It will take years to rebuild our Justice Dept.

A disturbed man and his fanatical advisors are making potentially life-threatening decisions on the basis of what he sees on television.

We should all be very concerned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-trump-gets-and-processes-information

Dear MAGA,

After militarizing our cities and gutting the First Amendment, you think they’ll stop before they come for the Second? Think again, they’re almost done tearing the first to shreds.

Here’s how your “law and order” crowd has been dismantling your freedoms one by one:

...

After Columbia canceled my course on race and media, and Washington Poat fired me for speaking about race and violence,

I’m teaching about race and media anyway!

@resistanceschool.bsky.social fall session on Race, Media and International Affairs starts tonight!

600+ signups.

We move!! ✊🏾

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
