Wait, are ICE agents complying with this order? I’m sure the answer is “no” but my follow-up is “where is the contempt motion”?

If you’re a man in the room and a public official says this about your female colleague, you don’t continue as if nothing happened.

If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle—we'd call that a kidnapping. Until an alleged ICE agent identifies themselves, that's what this is.

For all we know they're a rapist murderer stalker looking for their next victim. Indefensible. Dem leadership must act NOW.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

This is a complete failure to read the room. It is incompetent. It is political malpractice. The DSCC has clearly learned nothing, and they would rather deploy the same tired, divisive strategies instead of empowering Democratic voters and earning our confidence in their process.

"To enforce President Trump's immigration crackdown" my ass.

If you think this is about illegal immigration rather than a concerted effort to establish control over law enforcement and create a military presence in DC so as to hold on to power after losing an election, think again.

Gift link.

I've said this before, but one of the more striking things about the current generation of righties is that they really show no sign of understanding that there's a world *beyond* their screens, beyond owning & being owned on social media. A real world, with real people & real problems.

Honestly, who wouldn't want this? Link includes pic of great child-sized park benches installed in the 20th. Kids also want to sit and visit

The whites are literally arguing it's literally *unconstitutional* if they're not OVERREPRESNTED in Congress.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

They don't care.

He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S.

Then ICE arrested him.

If he is deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

People commenting that there’s a paywall on articles is one of the most enraging things because not only is it like going to the movie theater and being like hey :( this ticket costs money :( but it’s also so easy to bypass most major paywalls if you can’t afford the subscription

I've got such a warm spot for Baruch College considering I never went there. Like the campus vibe, considered apply for grad school but the program wasn't quite what I wanted.

I think we had some interns from there too.

And now it's on the list for high schools for my boy.

Time owner Marc Benioff (and Salesforce CEO) just announced a few days ago that he's eager to start sucking Trump's dick full time. He even wants troops deployed to San Francisco. But as we see here, it's never enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Nationally it becomes a matter of tone. "You and I live here. We know what the problems are. Join me, we can do something about it. Them? They're from somewhere else. They must be, to deny what everybody knows. Let's outnumber them."

NJ has been a great contrast to fossilized Long Island in terms of economic dynamism, growth & diversity but …

Yes it's annoying that conservatives are lying about and trying to suppress this weekend's rallies, but as far as I can remember there was virtually no mainstream or conservative media coverage in advance of the first one and now they're talking about it constantly. That's a good sign.

Stop making him sound so cool.

You need to see this:

“The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

This. And this again.

Also a war on transgender people. As far as I can tell, you support that. Which is shameful.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

The Texas Military Department confirmed to @taskandpurpose.com it had replaced some of the 200 National Guard troops sent to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with validation standards. This came after photos of heavyset NG members were widely mocked. taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-n...
