If you are in Terminal E - International - at Hartsfield-Jackson right now, look for a 21-year-old woman who is eight months pregnant and in a state of medical distress. She is being deported by ICE right now, a human rights attorney said, today pleading for emergency assistance for his client.

The aggressors here are clearly law enforcement officers, not protesters. These guys are goons and thugs.

Atlanta chooses light in dark times for democracy.

Thanks to all who joined us. This is what means to be American. Remember we are not alone.

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

CNN: The ratings are in for the first day. 6.26 million viewers on ABC. That was four times Jimmy Kimmel's average. And that's despite the show not even being available in a quarter of all American homes.

Journalist Mario Guevara Speaks - Letter from ICE DETENTION FACILITY — THE BITTER SOUTHERNER The only journalist detained by ICE on US soil, sends a letter to The Bitter Southerner.

The only journalist detained by ICE is on the verge of being sent to El Salvador, a country he fled out of fear of persecution for his speech. He was lawfully reporting in Atlanta, GA when he was detained.

Here's Mario Guevara’s harrowing account.

Please help Georgians raise the volume on this horrific detention & pending deportation of Mario Guevara. Legal avenues to prevent this journalist from being sent to El Salvador are narrowing. He needs our voices!

@jimmykimmel.com, can you help us get some attention for Mario Guevara? He's a fellow Emmy winner and an Atlanta journalist who is about to be deported in retaliation for his work. 🙏

@jimmykimmellive.bsky.social

@markruffalo.bsky.social, you spoke at the No Kings kick off and you stood up for @jimmykimmel.com. Can you help us get some support for an Atlanta journalist who is about to get deported for using his 1st Amendment rights?

He has been in ICE detention since a Metro Atlanta No Kings event in June.

This is crucial! Please sign and share.

Gutted: How Deeply Trump Has Cut Federal Health Agencies More than 20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found. Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform...

While Kennedy once claimed that he was increasing the number of scientists and front-line workers, ProPublica found that more than 1,050 scientists, physicians and public health specialists left or were pushed out of the CDC from January to mid-August.

@genefortexas.bsky.social on Greg Abbott: "To have a governor just bend the knee so casually-- to lick the boots with such energy, it's so unbecoming of a Texan. There's no independence... you're just another bootlicker."

The shooting targeting CDC, which resulted in the death of a police officer was horrific, and it was completely preventable. Cuts to CDC programs that reduce gun violence and support mental health, and anti-science rhetoric from political appointees set the stage for this senseless act of violence. Something needs to change.

Fired But Fighting’s statement on Friday’s shooting at CDC. For the full statement, visit firedbutfighting.org. Stay tuned for more info.

The Roberts court allows Trump's gutting of the Education Dep't in a lawless ruling Sotomayor, in dissent, wrote that "it is the Judiciary’s duty to check ... lawlessness, not expedite it." Also: In two Sunday essays, a contrasting reality of this moment.

Today was really bad: “Monday’s ruling would be offensive to the rule of law in any scenario, but for Chief Justice John Roberts, in particular, to do so in a case involving the Education Department, in particular, it is little more than … laughing in the face of Americans and the rule of law.“

The Young GOPer Behind “Alligator Alcatraz” Is the Dark Future of MAGA Sunshine State Attorney General James Uthmeier is the real brains behind this notorious migrant detention camp in the Everglades. The more barbarities that emerge, the brighter his star will no doubt ...

Awful: Stephen Miller is urging red states to build their own versions of "Alligator Alcatraz." And guess what: Buried in the budget bill is funding that states can try to tap for exactly that.

This could become a route to MAGA glory for young GOPers. 1/
