it’s all just a grift

All the sordid details 👇

I have such schadenfreude about this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Masked ICE agents are violating the 4th Amendment blatantly. The amendment isn't foggy. It doesn't say "citizens." It says "the right of the people" to be secure in their persons and homes. Sue them as John Does. You can if they violate your constitutional rights. I would. See Bivens lawsuit.

Why This Essay Could Cause the University of Virginia to Shut Down How Linda McMahon’s latest “compact” would do deep and permanent harm to American higher education

“Any university leader who signs on to this compact would betray everything good and solid about the university and would do deep and permanent harm to the United States and the world.”https://newrepublic.com/article/201376/trump-compact-academic-excellence-university-virginia via @newrepublic.com

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

If Politico is using these words, shit is going *extremely* poorly.

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.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: RFK Jr. is a threat to the health of Americans It was our duty in office to warn of dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

“Secretary Kennedy is entitled to his views. But he is not entitled to put people’s health at risk.”

Six former surgeons general condemn RFK Jr.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

SCARY TRUTH!

Michael Fanone: " ICE appears to have become a national police force for the Trump administration. This is an agency which is unaccountable to the American people. In a democracy, law enforcement agencies must be accountable to the American people."

We're not at war with Venezuela, these boats are many hundreds of lines from our waters, much less our shores, there is no threat, this is just murder.

I really do think everyone from the SecDef to the guy who pushed the button should be tried for murder on this.

Quite the read.

Have to say, I feel seen. Article > video every time for me.

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

So much has gone wrong in US press reporting on Trump because the White House reporters are people who have exclusively covered US politics.

They need people who have worked in Hungary, Turkey, etc. The relevant knowledge isn't Reagan factoids; it's the dynamics of competitive authoritarianism.

PENNSYLVANIA!!!!! PAY ATTENTION - WE KNOW FROM THE ACTIONS OF SCOTUS HOW IMPORTANT JUDGES ARE… VOTE TO KEEP THESE DEMS IN YOUR HOUSE!!! PLEASE PASS THIS ON SO WE CAN MAKE ALL PENN DEMS AWARE! THANK YOU FELLOW BLUE WARRIORS!!!

For people wondering what she said afterwards

This is fucking horrifying.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

What kind of grooming standards? I mean with this administration that’s a pretty unsettling thing to think about.

The thing regular people don’t often grasp about ‘academic freedom’ is that if you don’t allow experts to research & teach in their fields of expertise, guided by their professional judgment & decades of training, you have effectively given up on the concept of knowledge & shut down your university

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning.

This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

Applicable to too many situations these days.

This solidifying his complete lack of economics

Ah, I see, shadow docket *plus* rocket docket for whatever Trump needs.

Reminder that the emoluments clause case filed by Maryland & DC started June 12, 2017 and then was stalled for so long that SCOTUS dismissed it in January 2021 without a decision because Trump losing made it moot.

Here are my top 10 fall dogs!

September 19, 2025 Today U.S.

“We will not shop at your stores. We will not tune into your TV and radio stations. We will not send our kids & our money to your universities, or use your services if you are going to enable our slide to authoritarianism.” Representative Jason Crow heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-...

Democrats are doing what a lot of people *on here* asked them to do by holding shadow hearings. Help amplify!
