Chris Sommerfeldt@c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social · 3d agoNEW: New York City Council member Christopher Marte allegedly directed at least one government staffer to raise money for his campaign and a super PAC that has supported him politically, according to a whistleblower complaint that raises legal concerns. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
Watching the news from my crumbling house. After threatening my neighbors, one of my sons and his friends are shooting up a school on the poor side of town, using the trillions of dollars of guns I left loaded and unsecured. This is the second time he's done this. "Fuck, I gotta buy more guns."
"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 4d agoI know it sucks, but Dems have got to be prepared to inherit a munitions-and-readiness hole that is going to be expensive to fill, but which will need to be filled. Hardly the only such hole, but it will be a big one.
Crazy all these articles manage to avoid mentioning that Stevens put her name on a resolution thanking ICE
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · last wk.Abdul El-Sayed is mixing populism and anti-Zionism in a way that has little precedent in the Democratic Party—and the ramifications of his conspiratorial rhetoric may be difficult to control, @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues.
Prisciliano Trejo, who had leukemia, was reportedly denied medical care by ICE for 8 days while in a detention center run by CoreCivic. He died just days later — and ICE is already shirking accountability. (1/3)

He has the right to go to Spain or wherever he likes, safely, without fear.
TheBossRoss 🧶@thebossross.bsky.social · last wk.If you watch anything on #Moroccans coming to #Ceuta, make it this report. CBS News have interviewed some of them & they confirm that social media posts on Facebook & Instagram told them Spain had opened its borders. They're playing with people's hopes & lives. It's awful. We must combat fake news.
I can’t say what I think should happen to this “judge.”

As I’ve said a thousand times- bill Clinton ushered in this increased militarization of the border and criminalization of migration. This is something the entirety of the US needs to reflect on, not one party or another.
Heba Gowayed هبة جويد@hebagowayed.bsky.social · 2w agoI spoke to a Yemeni queer man held in ICE detention for 3 years under BIDEN. Denied care while he was having seizures. ICE wasn't invented Jan 2017 or 2025. Trump is awful. AWFUL. But this continues if you DON'T STOP TREATING HUMAN LIFE like a fucking football game between blue and red shirts.

Hyde T. Voltyge@hydevoltyge.bsky.social · 2w agoGood time to bring back @jonathancohn.bsky.social's article about that time 75 House Democrats voted to *praise* ICE about a year ago. How many would defend that now? Craig, Krishnamoorthi, Moulton, Stevens, Swalwell, Thanedar... lots of names in the news. jonathancohn.medium.com/a-tale-of-tw...
Absolutely heartbreaking letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after his murder by ICE agents. How is it possible that we still haven’t seen even a hint of justice for such a heinous crime?
settlers attacked a palestinian village with the help of armed men from israel's "civil security squad." one palestinian managed to get the rifle off one of the men and shoot him. so netanyahu declared it a terrorist attack and settlers rampaged throughout the west bank with the idf's support.

Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.

After passing them, investigators said Medina stopped his vehicle, reversed, and struck one of the cyclists." This is absolutely horrific.

1. Fire all employees on week 1 of a Democratic administration. Everyone. No exceptions. 2. Start now to pull together state-based ICE People's Assemblies. Collect testimonies about impacts on your communities. Release reports by December 2028. 3. REPARATIONS for all ICE victims - $$ & citizenship
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 3w agoI’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.
