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.
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.”

Here is the 20-minute podcast generated by Google Notebook LM on the report: youtu.be/kKpemMbcYLQ

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.
It’s happened. I am one of those people in line for something I saw online. But look at this, tho!!! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTfxCJDyB/

I really hope @lataco.bsky.social and @eltragon.bsky.social patch things up ASAP because it is getting messy and it is undercutting all the incredible work they’ve both worked on. Think of the community, Primo. We will back both of you. Don’t let egos destroy what y’all have built.

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.

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"

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...

The donor list for Trump's ballroom is finally public, and it blows the lid off a huge can of worms. There’s a LOT here, so let’s break it down:🧵
