A few months back @thecityreporter.nyc reported on ICE officer Brenden Cuni who was named in several lawsuits involving immigrants who described violent arrests. He's the agent spotted at the Marble Hill ICE shooting yesterday w/ a long gun. www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/09/b...

This debate performance is really going to help Ossoff stand out in the 2028 pack specifically because "does not eat shit in a debate" is going to be a top qualification for so many Democratic voters

Ossoff is definitely not listening to Yglesias/Klein/PodSave reactionary centrist crowd, he does not think his marginal voter is a white-supremacist, and that is what makes him such an attractive candidate to the vast majority of US who are not white-supremacists.

Ossoff says that Mike Collins has "hired half the Third Reich to staff your congressional office"

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Trump is desperately trying to incite a riot before the election so he can declare an emergency

Hear from a witness of the ICE shooting in the Bronx today.

When I started writing about Supreme Court expansion, you couldn’t get the question *asked* in a poll. The first time I saw it actually polled, it was 8%. Now, we here.

Jay Willis@jaywillis.net · yesterday

Kind of a buried lede in the results of this Supreme Court approval rating poll from Marquette: Overall support for Supreme Court expansion, which even Democratic politicians were dismissing as "radical" just a few years ago, is now at 53 percent today.marquette.edu/2026/09/marq...

NYC is on track to have its lowest rate of shootings EVER, and the thing that is going to ruin that is the presence of ICE. If the police commissioner cannot pick the side of New Yorkers, she obviously has to be fired. The numbers do not lie.

We need to punish them all. Every last one. And we need to turn the page on @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social leadership because he doesn't have the stones or the sense to do what needs to be done.

Tim Marchman@timmarchman.bsky.social · yesterday

NEW: The ICE agent seen wearing a hi-vis vest and waving around an AR-style rifle at the scene of the shooting in New York was a supervisor named Brenden Cuni, who has a history of alleged violence and lying in court. @dmehro.bsky.social, @awinston.bsky.social, and @regret.bsky.social report:

Anyone walking around NYC wearing a mask and waving a gun should be arrested by NYPD. Markwayne Mullen can come and pay his ice boys bail.

Why is NYPD protecting ICE and not New Yorkers?

Once again I offer a hearty “what the fuck are you doing, moron?” to Jared Polis, who commuted her sentence the last time she pulled this shit

I wrote about Elon Musk, and why it bothers me that he is still first and foremost described in the media as an entrepreneur, rocketeer, or tech mogul, when the most salient fact about him is that he is now the world's most powerful white supremacist. religiondispatches.org/2026/10/06/e...

I'm pretty surprised by the "Like". I had presumed that almost every author would be offended that someone would effectively distill numerous hours of deep thought, wordsmithing and nuance into a single sentence. I'm very impressed by your perspective.

Elevator pitch for your article: "I suggest that Alex Gibney is the M. Night Shyamalan of documentaries."

How did we reach the point where the President is talking about being fine with our enemies theoretically destroying two major cities and it’s barely a blip on the radar because everything is insane all of the time?

👇👇

The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES stood on a stage and said: “Let ’em take out Los Angeles. Let ’em take out San Diego.” And people CHEERED. I’m sorry, but what the actual fuck are we doing?

At one of this Nazi rallies today, the orange felon encouraged Iran to attack Los Angeles and San Diego whilst his cult cheered him on for that treasonous statement. I’ll say it again, he belongs in a jail cell, not in the bulldozed White House. To hell with everyone who gave this monster power.

It's been such a long few years, I'd forgotten this particular rape accusation against Hegseth. The woman told police she may have been drugged. Hegseth, who was married to one woman and had just had a baby with another, said it was consensual but paid her $50k to settle. He was confirmed anyway.

Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social · 4d ago

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

This is what women on the right say about another woman who was gang raped. These are the same people our current Dem leadership thinks should be allowed to participate in normal society after we wrest control from the psychos.

1200 sexual assault reports in 6 years. That’s 1 every 2 days. Only 7 resulted in an expulsion or dismissal. Only 14 resulted in a suspension. Cornell is a rapist factory. Drive it out of business. Also, only 5-13% of college women who are assaulted report it. That’s 5-6 assaults a day.

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

From the attack on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, to the grocery aisle today, there is a straight line. We have an affordability crisis *because* we have a corruption crisis. You can't fix one without fixing the other. A THREAD.

1. I ended Friday's edition by saying there's a straight line between the J6 insurrection and the affordability crisis we are all facing.

Oh absolutely NO on Prop 39! It's just the State version of tRvmp's crummy SAVE Act and there are already more than enough safeguards in place to make sure only citizens are voting! Vote NO on 39‼️
