Last week our good friend was kidnapped by ICE/CBP in Alhambra, CA. He’s currently in the California City ICE concentration camp. Please help us help his family, if you can. gofund.me/7773bd323

Sup nerds, I've been working my ass off over the last couple weeks to get this finished, and now that it is, I'm excited to show you what I've been up to: Words About Work is now The Common Route. Same great movement reporting as I've been doing, but a much more expanded scope. I hope you dig it

I did not want to do this, but they called me out. substack.com/@memotorres/...

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Good thread on what it took for Lula to win. Worth a read.

Today we (@propublica.org) published this map of every location with an active 287(g) agreement with ICE. (with the help of @tituslegaldesign.com's initial data analysis). Read the story: "The Small-Town Cop Who Helped ICE Deport His Ingram, Texas, Neighbors" www.propublica.org/article/depo...

you're goddamn right you guys did

We have shown the world that it is possible to stand up to the fascists, and we have strengthened the defensive barrier against fascism. World, now it is up to you to do your part and join us! ✊

Not only a vital defeat of the far right, but also a win of inestimable value for the planet.

JFC.

Hello, new followers. I track ICE flights and third-country removals at @prospect.org. This is what the ICE Air operation looked like yesterday, Oct. 23, 2026. --88 flights --14 removal stops --3 third-country removal stops --Nearly all adult passengers shackled at the ankles, wrists & waist.

Love this clip! Also, ¿Por qué no los dos?

Who needs traditional red-lining when you can just send a text

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Happy Friday.

Happy Friday.

Vote early folks ! Kudos to LA County Registrar’s office. My husband and I filled out our ballots on Wednesday, dropped them in a ballot box pre-dawn yesterday morning, and they have already been received and verified. 🙌

now you know

Ruh-roh!

Found my scary Halloween costume. Giant hopping turkey.

Hey @lataco.bsky.social Are you going to address the fact that @eltragon.bsky.social & @izzymirez.bsky.social are no longer on your staff? They’re a big reason we subscribed. I just canceled the auto renewal of our paid annual subscription. We’ll use that money to support the journalists directly.

7 years come to an end.

misery is a key part of the creative process but you don't need to BE a miserable person

Okay, here's the simple test: Are you hosting websites anywhere on the internet? If yes: Panic and frantically try to get caught up, turn off everything you can until the patch drops tomorrow and then get all your servers patched. If no: Nothing for you to do tonight, just get some sleep.

WAY TO GO, ANTIVAXXERS! “So far, Pennsylvania has said 66 pregnant women have contracted measles while pregnant this year, and at least six babies in the state have been born with measles. Of the six deaths reported in the state, at least two have been in infants…”

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

A bit of bird fun. 🪶

How much blood do we think is on Musk's hands at this point?

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

Sending love to folks in Alberta. 💔

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Uh oh! 👀

Go to your camera and search “boat” and then post a picture of a boat you like.

This is why Billionaires buy these media companies. They want to control the narrative and don’t care what it costs them

This video lasted longer than she did 🤣
