A political cartoon shows the Statue of Liberty holding her torch while being approached by armed soldiers rappelling from helicopters. One helicopter has a speech bubble that says, "She's armed with a torch! Probably ANTIFA!!!"

A newspaper clipping from *The Boston Globe*, dated Saturday, October 11, 2025, features the headline: “MIT rejects Trump ‘compact’.” The subheading reads: “Kornbluth says university’s practices ‘meet or exceed’ White House demands.” A quote in the left margin from MIT President Sally Kornbluth states: “The premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.” The article, written by Diti Kohli, reports on MIT rejecting a Trump administration policy related to scientific funding and higher education standards.

I'd better ask, was Epstein on the Putin list?

This is the correct answer.

In the past year, no major scandal has come out naming a female ICE agent for mistreating immigrants. Nada.

Is it really something with masculinity? 🤔

The poster reads:
"INSECURE WITH YOUR MASCULINITY?
C STUDENT AT BEST IN HIGH SCHOOL?
TOO UGLY TO SHOW YOUR FACE?
JOIN ICE!"

Below the text is a photo of a man wearing tactical gear labeled "POLICE Federal Agent," with his face mostly covered by a scarf and sunglasses. At the bottom, the poster includes the text:

Screenshot of a legal document titled "Opinion and Order" from case number 25cv2333 (DLC), *The New York Times Company and Neil Bedi v. United States Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency*. The document includes appearances for both plaintiffs and defendant, listing attorneys Dana Robinson Green for the plaintiffs and Peter Max Aronoff for the defendant. The opinion, written by District Judge Denise Cote, states that the plaintiffs filed suit under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to obtain a two-page document listing any security clearances granted to Elon Musk. The defendant, DCSA, claimed the document was exempt under FOIA Exemptions 6 and 7(C) to protect Musk’s privacy. The court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and denied the defendant’s motion. The case docket indicates it is Document 21, filed on 10/08/25, and is page 2 of 21.

There are many reasons to dislike James Comey. But what this administration is doing to him is a travesty of justice and un-American.

"The nickname "Teflon Don" originally referred to John Gotti, the infamous Mafia boss, because charges against him kept failing to stick—until they finally did in 1992, when he was convicted of murder, racketeering, and other crimes. He died in prison." 🤔

Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell
It’s coming to an end guys. I’ve spoken to a lot of House Republicans this week and they’ve confided that Trump’s movement/support is fading. As one told me, “this Epstein bomb is about to drop and no one wants to defend a pedo-protector. It’s just a matter of time.”

Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell
One Republican just texted me that if there’s a discharge vote on Epstein they expect a “jail break” of over 100 members. Trump will go nuts!

Cartoon of four armed soldiers standing in front of a military officer who is presenting a sign on an easel. The sign reads "Operation Circular Reasoning" with a circular arrow underneath. One soldier says, “We’re being deployed because of the protests about us being deployed.”

You're right, here is the original guy

Some 22,000 ISIS recruits are identified by name, telephone and address in a trove of documents that Britain’s Sky News says was provided by a disaffected ISIS member. Here, an image of a suicide bomber that was taken from a militant website associated with Islamic State last year.

I’m not equating genocide with harassment. I’m showing continuity: Pew tracks today’s incidents; history shows expulsions and genocide. The point is persistence across scales and centuries.

The owls are not what they seem 🤔

Any Doubts @anydoubts.bsky.social · 8d

Jews are <0.2% of humanity, yet consistently among the most targeted. If Pew’s 94-country data is “undefined harassment,” then I guess pogroms, expulsions & genocide were just poorly documented workplace disputes.
