ICE Agents Rappel from Helicopter in Overnight Chicago Raid, Dragging Kids from Beds to U-Hauls Overnight on Tuesday, Sept. 30, federal agents from different agencies raided an apartment building on the South Side of Chicago, pulling men, women and children — some of them allegedly naked — from ...

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

The Washington Post Accused Me of “Gross Misconduct.” Here's My Response. This fight isn’t just about my job — it’s about who gets punished for telling the truth, and who gets protected for spreading hate and violence.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post.

I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing.

Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner.

Dear news outlets: Link to the actual things you're writing about. A lawsuit? Link to it. A previous court ruling? Link to it. A bill? Yup, link.

So often we instead get a link to that outlet's past coverage, only to learn the original story also didn't link to the source.

This is bad. Stop it.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

• Don Lemon
• Melissa Harris-Perry

The BS asymmetry principle: The amount of energy needed to refute BS is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

Thank you to every science communicator who is doing the almost impossible work of countering misinformation every day. Every single one of you is saving lives!

So do all those journalists and professors get their jobs back too or is it just the millionaire comedian whose cancellation ate into Disney's profits?

Thanks to those standing for #accuracy, #freespeech, and #solidarity. #privilege is important. #kimmel #JonStewart #Colbert #SethMeyers #JonOliver have a huge role in uplifting #BIPOC #LGBTQ #women and others who are STILL being silenced by #Trump admin and institutions www.etsy.com/shop/TheFeli...

Emotional Jimmy Kimmel says in late-night return he never intended to make light of Kirk's killing Jimmy Kimmel has returned to late-night TV after a suspension over comments about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Glad @jimmykimmel.com is back on the air. Collective action got us here, as well as support from across the aisle.
#TedCruz supported him. But Cruz and others deserve minimal praise. #Cruz and #MAGA rely on our lax commitment to truth to misinform and use #1A as a shield.

I’m just going to put a lil reminder here about the rise in #confederate #monuments and their glorification of specific leaders, as opposed to mourning fallen soldiers. It’s so weird living in this timeline.

Parents of young kids, if you are paying for Disney+ and you think canceling it will take away quality programming, check out Hoopla and Kanopy. Both are FREE with your library card, and both have a LOT of kids’ programs, including Disney movies. 🤟🏽❤️😊

California bans most law enforcement officers from wearing masks during operations California will be the first state to ban most law enforcement officers from covering their faces while conducting official business. Gov.

California, as usual, is ahead of the curve. But the Feds will no doubt fight this in court, and SCOTUS will fail us again.

A homeland security official called the legislation “despicable” in a statement this week, adding that the ban would only put officers in danger.

Fox News appears to be promoting and endorsing political violence.

When the #government engages in #cancelculture, that’s what we call #tyranny.

Felicity's Friend: On Kirk, Compassion, and Penal Abolitionist Values We cannot merely demand free speech and open debate. We must model it.

We must model #FreeSpeech and open #debate. Perhaps then we will be lucky enough to have nuanced discussions that lead to #safety, #opportunity, #freedom, and #self-determination for all.

the only regime-approved story you can write about the cause of the Texas floods is the story of a girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world

There is no #justice without #accountability. Those with the most #privilege should be held to the highest standards and greatest penalties. #Trump is a literal criminal surrounded by co-conspirators. It’s gross. www.newsweek.com/why-reject-t... #GOP clearly doesn’t care about real law or order.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

The crew of the #handala are being kidnapped as we speak. @freedomflotilla.bsky.social was delivering baby formula and food to #gaza @cnn.com @msnbc.com @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com

Excellent episode. #Law & #PoliticalEconomy (LPE) is confusing. Every attempt to make it clear is worthwhile. #econ systems are #political choices. LPE asks how law bolsters some political choices over others, especially when choices lead to suffering. tinyurl.com/felicitypaper @lpeblog.bsky.social

Leaders in Indiana speaking #truth to #power. #Indiana, goddam. @kazembe1.bsky.social said, "They tell us that we don't have history and then we run around trying to prove we have history." Reminds me of Toni Morrison's wisdom: racism is a distraction. To the young people: build worlds. We got this.

Felicity Paper #2 A commentary on Mississippi HB 1193 (anti-DEI bill) over an image of Nina Simone at the piano.

Newsprint branded "The Felicity Papers" issue No. 2. To those most impacted by "anti-DEI" laws around the country: you are brilliant. You are worthy. What would you do if money or bias were not hurdles? How would you chase your dreams if you were not presumed incompetent. Keep your dreams in sight while we keep up the fight.

Body of Felicity Papers #2.

My latest piece about #Mississippi #DEI #RevisionistHistory. But the message is for those around the country. This is more than historical accuracy. This is about #erasure. This is about #caste. This is about our #potential. This is about our #lives. thefelicitypapers.substack.com/p/felicity-p...

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Crucial thing you must do right now is strengthen and expand your community. Serve together. Try a new activity. See each other in person. Over on the other site I am continually struck by how the rabid intensity does not actually reflect community or connection. Only way we get through this.

Venezuelan Migrant Sent to Guantánamo Bay Is ‘Not a Criminal,’ Family Pleads (Gift Article) Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the United States so that he could “give everything to his son,” said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to Guantánamo.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

The President and the Police | Joanna Schwartz | INQUEST A second Trump presidency may render police accountability elusive. But, as before, people and communities can and will fight back.

Here’s my take on what Trump will try to accomplish in his second term regarding policing - and how state and local governments, advocates, and organizers can resist. inquest.org/the-presiden...
