ICE agents grabbed a 5-year-old girl outside of her home and held her, screaming, to coerce her father, who has been in the US for 22 years, to be detained. This is cruel, disgusting, and must end. Trump is tearing families apart. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/i...
It’s been 10 years 🤷🏽♀️
We need you more over here in blueville
Today, we celebrate Bi Visibility Day by uplifting and recognizing the achievements of the bisexual community!
Miami Herald: Two-Thirds of Immigrants Held at “Alligator Alcatraz” in July Have Disappeared
Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.
So when is the Rapture? #rapture
#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.
22-year-old Ward Sakeik, a Palestinian woman who has lived in Texas since she was 9, says her experience in federal detainment could only be identified as “human trafficking.” And she’s not staying quiet about the women she was forced to leave behind. thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/22/w...

In this week’s newsletter I have thoughts on Ezra’s Klein value judgements about the “right way” to do politics.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.
Oh 🙊
If you can vaccinate your kids against these preventable, lethal diseases, please do. ASAP.
This is what @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social should have done.
Would have been nice to hear you call out @msnbc.com on their decision about Dowd
Wait what are we being blamed for
I’m a U.S. citizen who was wrongly arrested and held by ICE. Here’s why you could be next. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...
They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
That is where we are heading teachers/professors will be obsolete. Why we would aid in our own demise is bewildering
If you think your child is cuter than Kyra. You’d be wrong 🙊🥰 #cats #skycats
We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.
Urgent: Please share and give if you can. Nema has to move south due to the evacuation order but now she is unable to take her son to the hospital regularly to help him with his breathing, which means that she'll have to buy a Nebulizer for Mohammed.
They will
We were warned. Too many just did not care. It was NEVER about eggs
Can’t watch the news anymore. Like watching your hometown team losing. So back to making jewelry
Yep.
Maybe rethinking your helping him along the way 🤷🏽♀️🤔
@schumer.senate.gov should step down. He is incapable of leading on political or moral issues.
It's not your imagination: Wildfire smoke in the U.S. has dramatically worsened since 2019. According to a new study, it's already killing 41,000 people a year - and it's poised to get much worse. new from me @johnmuyskens.bsky.social and @sadbumblebee.buzz www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Such a shame. They are cowards.
Puerto Rico too
Oh I did

She's raised $925 so far but needs $2000 to leave, please share, Nour is pregnant and needs to leave asap.
We're staying on top of the facts only at @mississippifreepress.org. @nickjudin.bsky.social is leading our reporting on it. Here's the latest: www.mississippifreepress.org/trey-reeds-f...

Yep. Feel an escape plot coming
If it seems like every issue leads to right-wing pundits attacking colleges and universities lately, it’s not random. They’ve wanted to defund and delegitimize higher education for decades. They’re using any pretext to call for faculty firings, defunding public education, canceling grants, etc.
Also of note. I would have students do an exercise where they had to pick what kind of government they wanted to live in. Around 2015 I started seeing students choosing dictatorships. Said it would be cool cause someone else had to make all the decisions 🙈
Yep. What I started to notice in early 2000s students were not okay with being told them were wrong.
5 seats are not enough
The GOP is the most shameful, hypocritical movement in world politics.
Trump has canceled hundreds of millions in public health research grants since taking office — endangering pediatric cancer research. Now he wants to slash the National Cancer Institute's budget by 37%. How is this Making America Healthy Again?
🙊
Anyone know of any recruiters/organizations that help scholars/researchers get work outside of North America ?? #academicsky
They have not
The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...
Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
Happy #HispanicHeritageMonth! Organizers like Dolores Huerta have shown us that collective action leads to collective power. A civil rights & labor activist, in the '60s, Huerta co-founded @ufw.bsky.social, the largest farm workers union, protecting vegetable, berry, winery, and dairy workers.
And they will still blame the democrats 🤷🏽♀️
Girls had to go for their annual check-ups and vaccinations. They did great. And both are the same weight as last year. Cause I’m a good mommy 🥰
I will not be watching. But I’m sure you will do great.
Two weeks before she died, when we visited her in Guatemala, Estela told me "I feel at ease seeing Nory go to school... but here, we can't go out."
I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.
These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.
i was told by the supreme court that this was a hysterical hypothetical
Long-term unemployment is at its highest level since the pandemic. Trump’s economy: Americans can’t find jobs, costs are rising, and the billionaires get richer. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Nightly prayer 🙏🏽 Someone offer me a job off this continent
Every tune I have to take my girls to the vet I turn into Shirley MacLaine. This time I put lavender oil on their blankets. It seemed to help. Them. Not me.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
That’s being generous. It was obvious when they fired Joy Reid and gave Katy Tur 2 hours 5 days a week. 🙄
But @msnbc.com fires Dowd within 2 hours. I think it is fair to say they have lost the narrative and their audience
BREAKING: At least 53 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the early hours of this morning, report our team on the ground, citing sources at local hospitals. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/224nz2
Really feels the whole world is on fire 🔥 literally and systematically. Not sure where the path forward is which makes it difficult to think about future plans 🙈 or I’m just being fatalistic and unmotivated 🤷🏽♀️
"Healthy debate" = when I criticize you "Cancel culture" = when you criticize me
New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:
Out and about
I just graduated this May 🙈
I am surprised people stayed. If a Nazi bought my local grocery store. Sorry I’m shopping elsewhere. I’ll chat with my neighbors somewhere else 🤷🏽♀️
That's about 10% of the population. Quite literally, "decimated."
America is not ending well 🙊🙈
I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...
It’s about time
Educated 🤔

What a truly disgusting week for American journalism.
Really? Feels very different to me
It’s terrifying and I don’t even live there right now
So will Nancy Mace, Derrick Van Orden, Anna Paulina Luna or any Republican members of the House who blamed Democrats and the media apologize now that we know more about this suspected shooter?
The Supreme Court is forging an America where weighing race can be used to harm minorities, but not to protect them.
