Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby. "I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother. “I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Getting blocked by this asshole for asking him why he was posting weird shit is how my day started, so at this point I'm literally willing to pick fights with anyone trying to hide their antisemitism behind anti-zionist rhetoric. Being pro-Palestinian doesn't give you an excuse to be a fascist.

So, the guy blocked me for asking about a shady post. I'm guessing this is because earlier he made a post (now deleted) that is straight up Protocols of the Elders of Zion shit.

"Wise falcons" in response to: "The brutal truth is that Israel is a fake country that represents a vast offshored come structure that controls all western governments, intelligence agencies and central banks through blackmail and financial corruption. The entire western world is a subterfugre."

NGL, the amount of "leftist" antisemitism I'm seeing on this site today is fucked. If you repost anti-Jewish conspiracy shit don't try to hide behind ironic racism or whatever other sad excuse you're trying. If you entertain this conspiracy shit you aren't a leftist and you aren't my ally. Period.

Military bases have well-supplied commissaries because if something goes wrong in the area the base will have independent supply lines established. It has always been (at least domestically) a form of redundancy, but given that other logistical systems are also at risk, this seems... unwise.

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this: Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

"It was scary, because I had never had a gun in my face," Fisher said. "They asked my name and my date of birth and asked me, did I have any warrants? And I told them, 'No, 'Ididn't." Fisher said she was handcuffed before being released around 3 a.m., and she was told that if anyone had any kind of warrant out for them, even if it was unrelated to immigration, they would not be released.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Am I reading this correctly? A grad student ... in Computer Science ... enrolled in an undergraduate seminar ... in the American Indian and Indigenous Studies program ... where he ignored the readings and hijacked discussions to talk about Israel and defend its actions in Gaza? What the hell?

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

Early last semester, Droubi said, students began approaching Cheyfitz with complaints that a graduate student in the “Gaza, Indigeneity, Resistance” class appeared to be recording them, possibly to “gather their names and comments” and intimidate them. “We believe that a student came to the course for the sole reason of surveilling and potentially harming students in the class,” Droubi said. “That ended up proving itself to be true because multiple students came forward and shared their concerns with Professor Cheyfitz.” Cheyfitz said one Palestinian student quit the class after telling him she felt upset and frightened. Current Issue Cover of October 2025 Issue October 2025 Issue According to Cheyfitz, the graduate student often steered conversations away from the assigned readings—which at that point mostly focused on definitions of genocide and international law on Indigenous rights—to defend Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza and argue with others in the class. “He clearly had not done the readings,” Cheyfitz said. “It was disruptive.” Cheyfitz said he met with the graduate student in late January and spoke to him about concerns from his classmates. During the conversation, he asked the graduate student to drop the course, and by the next class, he did, Cheyfitz said. The graduate student, Oren Renard, a PhD candidate in computer science whose identity was confirmed by other students in the class, previously served in Israel’s elite military surveillance agency, Unit 8200, according to his LinkedIn profile.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

The degree to which there are two very, very different Oregons depending on where you live is incredible. It was a state founded by the Klan as a white supremacist project. In the 70s they actually barricaded I-5 to keep people from coming north from CA.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/26/f...

Political indoctrination aside (which is, by no means, ASIDE) a generation of kids coming out of the educational system without the bare minimum of actual critical reasoning skills will make literally every social problem substantially worse.

The DOE will partner with 40 conservative orgs to create K-12 programs led by the America First Policy Institute, a conservative group, with Turning Point USA, the Heritage Foundation, and other conservative state and nat’l organizations. Let the indoctrination begin! 😳 www.npr.org/2025/09/17/n...

So, the Trump DOJ has very smartly decided to make sure the media is laser-focused on publicly airing every detail of the FBI investigation into the 2016 campaign. I'm sure this won't explode in their face prompting mass public hostility.

Here's the charge the grand jury rejected: that Comey "falsely stat[ed] to a U.S. Senator ... that he ... did not remember “being taught” of PERSON I’s “approval of a plan concerning” PERSON 2 and the 2016 U.S. Presidential election." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

COUNT ONE False statements within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the United States Government [18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2)] 1. On or about September 30, 2020, in the Eastern District of Virginia, the defendant, JAMES B. COMEY JR., did willfully and knowingly make a materially false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement in a matter within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of the Government of the United States, by falsely stating to a U.S. Senator during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that he, JAMES B. COMEY JR., did not remember "being taught" of PERSON 1's "approval of a plan concerning" PERSON 2 and the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. 2. That statement and representation was false, because, as JAMES B. COMEY JR. then and there knew, he had in fact been provided information regarding PERSON 1's approval of a plan concerning PERSON 2 and the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. 3.

South Park has always done the weird American centrist thing: ✔ Punch up and down in equal measure ✔ Be extremely smug about how clever it thinks it is ✔ Ultimately do harm to minorities by spreading right wing stereotypes ✔ Stay safe and never threaten the status quo It's not subversive.
