The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

What can today’s urban growers learn from the once-lost history of the immigrant farmers of the Hull House era? “It changed people’s ideas of what the city should look like,” says @nateela.bsky.social, author and Temple University political science and law professor.

In this explosive follow up to the story about the American Historical Association's use of DC lobbyists to silence AHA member Palestine advocacy, we have this: AHA is conducting a witchhunt of its Council. Loyalty oaths. Lawyers. Threats. Authoritarian behavior. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

A bad update: we're getting reports of pro-No Kings creators who have been suspended today as well. And we still lack backend access to the official No Kings account. Stay tuned, will report news when I have it.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

As we try to restore access to the No Kings instagram today, this is what I am thinking about.

A photo of armed National Guard troops surrounding a D.C. ballot drop box triggered concern at the highest levels of D.C. government Friday.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

"Among the first to appear before the judge was Angel, a 13-year-old. He had no attorney. “Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” the judge asked “I don’t know,” Angel said, bursting into tears: “I have no one. I have nothing.” www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...

“the primary goal was never to stop crime.” Solidarity with our beloved community members in Memphis who are also under occupation by this corrupt administration.

The administration keeps closing off public spaces the president claimed to be saving. DC residents hate it.

FUCK ICE

Tonight we joined our comrades in nearby Frederick, Maryland where #ICE had been camped out for days, terrorizing a neighborhood. At around 2:17 in the video is when they start beating the shit out of peaceful protestors with batons. How is this allowed to happen? @maddow.bsky.social

This is incorrect. USPS processes all official mail-in ballots using expedited Election Mail protocols, prioritizing them regardless of added postage. Adding a stamp to a prepaid ballot envelope does not alter or speed up how the automated sorting machinery handles & routes the ballot. More info 👇

Apple Maps now obeying, too.

"ICE tactics, already sadistic, are looking increasingly like torture," writes @judith-levine.bsky.social. "The slim avenues to legal recourse and the refusal of transparency or accountability by the perpetrators of de jure and de facto torture are driving detainees to desperate measures..."

DoorDash has been silent as ICE detains and murders their delivery drivers. But to avoid a 20-cent tax on delivery orders, DoorDash is now backing a bill that would give Trump more authority over DC and its residents. Delete your account until DoorDash stops fighting to give the regime more power.

Eric got a great shot earlier

The only meeting Hakeem Jeffries should be having with Jared Kushner is to tell him he’ll be subpoenaed by the House for a corruption investigation on day one of Democratic control of the House. This is just pathetic stuff from the House Dem leader. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/u...

Trump called established climate science “fraudulent” and threatened NAS with consequences. Now, NAS has pulled the climate chapter designed to help judges evaluate scientific evidence. Article: zurl.co/xliei
