I talked to Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker who was arrested at work, while he was imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. I called him again once he was deported to Mogadishu. Here's what he had to say.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

Dropped the Dems Trump/Epstein report into Google's NotebookLM and produced a podcast... and the top, the AI hosts disclose they are not taking any political sides and are "just the messengers." democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

These folks are raising the next Trump or Musk. If you are a parent that can’t describe your child and needs an AI assistant to do so, you are not a good parent. That also goes for that fool who wanted AI to read his kid a bedtime story.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

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.

Why do so many of the deplorables look or dress like aliens attempting to pass as humans… but doing it poorly.

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

“Gonna break it down to the nitty grit I'm gonna tell you motherf*ckers why you ain't shit 'Cause suckers like you just make me strong You be poppin' that bullshit all day long” — Mike D, Beastie

Can you imagine weaponizing the DOJ and ordering them to block the results of a state if your party loses?!?! And your supporters just not admitting it is illegal and undemocratic. They cheer it on. And this is the guy calling the shots?!? WTF are we living through?!?

Dr. King had something to say about the white moderate being ain't shit. (I'm paraphrasing.)

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

When asked for comment, the President responded by saying….

A federal judge in Florida orders President Trump to sit for a deposition in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC by Dec. 11, or face dismissal of his $10 billion action.

Now do it here! 🙏🏽

Holy cow. The Guinea-Bissau offices of the two Danish researchers who were funded by RFK Jr. to conduct an unethical experiment with the HepB vaccine just had their offices raided and vaccines seized by the police. Great work on reporting this story once again by @melodyschreiber.com.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

nytimes.comA Billionaire Wanted a Trump Pardon. His Family Gave Alina Habba a $50 Million Deal. (Gift Article)Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

Alexei Navalny and the countless people Killed by Putin would disagree.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

What are the consequences for those who pushed the false narrative that led to his death?

Exactly 10 years ago today: Hillary Clinton said Vladimir Putin would rather have "a puppet as president of the United States.” She absolutely nailed it. 🔨
