YES!!! That’s EXACTLY what I do, every time!!! I go to bed EVERY night hoping to hear the happy news the next morning, & then I wake up, disappointed again, that it didn’t happen.

FUCK TRUMP He lied to us today. He lied to us yesterday. He lied about Haitians eating dogs and cats. He lied about voter fraud. He lied about Epstein. What has he NOT lied about?

It’s never been more clear that racism is a scam perpetrated by wealthy elites to convince working people to blame someone other than the wealthy elite.

Trump’s goal is to intimidate me and get me to back down. That’s not going to happen. I will not be silenced, and I will not stop fighting for my constituents.

Time for a finding of CONTEMPT. Bastards are intentionally dragging their feet and not returning Ahmed Soliman. Injustice to anyone threatens justice for everyone.

ICE Flight Monitor@iceflightmonitor.bsky.social

(1/5) ICE Air has squandered multiple opportunities to facilitate the return of Ahmed Soliman, as ordered by a U.S. immigration judge, initially on Oct 6.

I gave Yasmany Moreno a heads-up that up to 100 third-country nationals would be joining him in Central African Republic, and that I’d heard a lot of them might be Cubans and Venezuelans. This morning, he says 90 Cuban men and 5 Cuban women have arrived. Here he is welcoming some of them.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

theatlantic.comThe Man Who Saved the Internet YesterdayOndřej Surý was a relatively anonymous volunteer working on PHP security. Then the internet exploded.

(1/2) 77 people were removed to Haiti on the October 22 removal flight from Alexandria, LA. Haiti is not safe for deportations and these flights raise serious protection and human rights concerns. onm.gouv.ht/note-de-pres...

🧊 THEY LIED TO THE COURT ‼️ The Eastern 767 (N703KW) flight to Equatorial Guinea that ICE claimed in court was canceled – in order to avoid returning a wrongfully deported man – just landed in Malabo 👀

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

Everyone, read Dunman. Originalism is a tool engineered, like a crowbar, to beat back civil rights. It is NOT a legitimate legal philosophy. It is a weapon.

One of these judges is going to have to find someone in contempt.

I have some insane news getting copy-edited right now, but before that publishes I want to make sure y'all see this interview I did with @gijn.org, where I give a lot of tips on flight-tracking, developing a specialized beat, etc. gijn.org/stories/gill...

🧊 ICE IS A MASSIVE GRIFT 💰

Project Salt Box@projectsaltbox.com

Replace "Boeing 737s" with "empty warehouses" and you've got the same play that DHS under Noem pulled. And a source on background told us in February the sales were meant to help well-connected Trump affiliates offload industrial properties that were liabilities on their books.
