In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

This is what Ice is doing in front of the cameras, imagine what they’re doing when no one is filming

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Outrageous.

Love to take medical advice from people who can’t even pronounce the names of medicines.

It's #Bisexual Day of Visibility, so here are Angelica & Mariel, two bisexual members of the Weird Luck webcomic cast, being visible. Despite how they're eyeing each other, they're not a couple.* #webcomics #comics #oc #BiWeek #BisexualVisibility #queer #urbanfantasy #crime weirdluck.net/about/

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

Just went from a post explaining how to punish Sinclair for keeping Kimmel off the air (calling companies that advertise on their affiliates) to a post about Tylenol defending itself on its website, and holy shit we are ruled by corporations

Some of us do.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Something I think we’re not talking about enough with all this autism bullshit is how, no matter what, it’s always blamed on the pregnant mother.

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Mario is a journalist detained for exercising his First Amendment rights and could be put on a deportation plane at any moment. ICE must release him immediately and stop his deportation.

BREAKING: The Board of Immigration Appeals is trying to deport our client Mario Guevara, a journalist from El Salvador, despite his clear legal path to residency and an immigration judge's order to grant his release on bond.

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

How things work these days- Trump is about to fire a US attorney he appointed because he won't charge Letitia James after his office found no evidence she committed mortgage fraud.

As predicted. The complaint failed to make out a claim for defamation. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/b...

How is she an actual person and not just the punchline in one of those awful sexist cliche “dumb blond” jokes that my friends’ dads told in the 80’s

In a big victory, a court blocked the federal administration from forcing states to turn over SNAP recipients' personal information while our lawsuit continues. I’ll always fight to protect the privacy of millions and ensure families have access to the food assistance they need.

Important reminder: Government censorship is unconstitutional. Just last year, we successfully argued before the Supreme Court that the First Amendment bans the government from coercing or retaliating against companies to shut down speech that offends them. Read more: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

At least two out-of-state abortion pill providers @themap-crhc.bsky.social and @hersafeharbor.bsky.social tell me they are undeterred in the face of a new Texas law that allows citizens to sue them and others. "We refuse to comply with cruelty disguised as law." www.thenation.com/article/soci...

people are acting like if you don't rsvp to the rally then you won't know where or when it is. like there isn't instagram facebook bluesky mastodon twitter reddit signal snapchat tiktok where people can just provide information about the location and time of a protest. stop being weird.

it's not obeying in advance to just go to a protest without RSVPing, you weirdo.

for the umpteenth time, it's not about signing up for a mailing list. it's about rsvping to a protest when the trump administration has said it's targeting organized protests. what's not clicking for you?

Nowhere did I say don't go to a protest. I just said don't sign up for one. And white men have lost their fucking minds in my mentions.

Literally you cannot make up this level of hypocrisy. What an endless chode.

I was frustrated that white people are too apathetic about what’s going on, but what I’m really frustrated is the way in which they respond to anyone other than another white person. Some of y’all will put the collective at risk if it means you can “put a Black woman in her place.” 😒

We served over 151 million (!) free meals to students last year, saving families an average of $1,000 per student. Students should be able to focus on the classroom, not on where their next meal will come from. We’ve made that a reality in Minnesota.

if me telling people not to RSVP to a protest scares them off, they weren't up to the task anyway. Just go to the protest. That's what I'm saying. Just fucking go. We're done here.

because the trump administration didn't say this week that they're going to cull through 38 million bluesky users to try and find something to target people about. they may yet do that. but today, we're talking about rsvp'ing to protests in the wake of trump saying he's going to target protests.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves. The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

Yup. She told someone in her comments to listen to a white person, and maybe it will click. Cue a white person in her comments saying exactly what Imani said, and that person saying “well, yeah, I agree with you!” Right there on display in broad daylight.

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI? Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

Y’all think this is a game, and it’s going to get people hurt, if not worse. A car full of friends will not defeat this, y’all.

Yeah, if you're feeling that level of despair, do yourself and everyone else a favor and log off. I'm going to start blocking the doomers outright.

MAKING ME DEFEND THE FORMER CO-HOST OF THE MAN SHOW MAY BE THE LAST STRAW, AMERICA.

And another thing, do you all really think an arrest at a Trump protest is going to go like any other arrest? Sure, you might see the county jail, but do you really think it will end there? And do you think this will be a quick process? Do you have childcare set up? Do you have pet care set up?

If you’re going to cancel Kimmel for saying the shooter was MAGA, you should also cancel everyone who said the shooter was some kind of liberal activist. Politicization of a murder works both ways.

At 47th and Western. ICE just snatched a man outside Home Depot and then, while speeding away from the scene, nearly hit a 17 year old boy on a scooter on his way to school this morning. He's okay. He jumped off the scooter in time. Agents didn't check on him; they kept driving.

ice has snatched at least four people already this morning in back of the yards, mckinley park and west englewood, per the southwest side rapid response team. they report "agents are active on the southwest side."
