i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.
I do not at foreclose the possibility of various sorts of political shenanigans even after Vucic’s concession but this extraordinary result in Serbia is what happens when people show up: in the streets, at the ballot box. That’s the lesson. If you care about democracy, show up.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
"This hatred, it’s like a cancer. It spreads because people will always say, ‘Oh, it’s just the illegals.’ It’s not.
“From what I experienced, it was anyone who was remotely different, different creed, different colour, different sexuality.”

When I say we are never letting any of them to take off those red hats and pretend like this didn’t happen, this is why. This is vile bigotry. Nothing less.
You don’t get to take off the red hats. Ever.
Trump: "This guy is a jihadist. Mohammed El-Sayed. He said 'my name is not Mohammed.' I said, 'I'm the President of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want.'"
NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.socialwww.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior.
Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her.
Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.
This is exactly what ICE said:
"Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck."
Now watch the video.
They're no other word for it: They're lying.
Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man.
The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!"
Agents didn't help him.
And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.
gregor samsa awoke one morning to discover he had been transformed into a sickass beetle. fuck yeah he said scuttling all over the walls and ceiling like no dumbfuck traveling salesman could ever do. this is the best day of my life he said
We may cover this tomorrow, but I just wanted to signal boost this. After months of pushing the administration to make good on its promises for trans youth, NYC appears to be taking steps to do so.
I do believe the city can be doing much more, but this is a wonderful start from Mayor Mamdani.
NEW: DHS agents tracked people observing ICE arrests, photographed them, ran their plates, pulled personal information, and added them to a Palantir database, according to newly unsealed court filings.

Hot town, punching Hello Kitty
So adorable-even bleeds real pretty
Head’s big but her body’s itty-bitty
Should I punch her more? Gonna ask the committee
Staggering ‘round, kitty Walkin half dead
Walkin into traffic-squashed like a flatbread…

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.
There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
I think its important to understand the campus sexual assault crisis is way worse than you think. universities suspend just 1/12,400 students each year for sexual misconduct & expel 1/22,900. once you read title ix administrators in their own words, you get a sense why that is:
These RCT results (via Swayable) get at the big problem. The right wing immigration ads Dems ran both built public support for the ICE nightmare we are living now, AND were politically disastrous, showing clear backfire on candidate choice questions. They made voters want to vote for Trump.
At this point, if no action is taken to enforce this law, it becomes clear that the law itself is a dead letter - and perhaps always intended to be so.
Was the passage of this law simply a PR stunt, or is this ACTUALLY the law of the land in New York State?
A toddler nearly died at an ICE detention facility in Dilley, Texas. After more than a week in intensive care, she was sent back. Sarah Stillman reports. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
1. Last Thursday, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a resolution designating Pride Month as 'Nuclear Family Month' in the state.
In the resolution, a 'nuclear family' is defined as "one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children."

“They were going to come. It was going to be a big thing. We were going to go to the beach right after. All those plans had to go out the window because they said ICE would be here."
It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.
If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.
Everyone give this a share after.
Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.
The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.
He spent a year in jail for this.
