in fairness the last 9 months have felt like at least a year

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

Hey, Everyone!
Could you pretty pls try to find out where a video comes from before you post it?

Like tonite people noticed what befell Rev. Black 18 days ago. @mskellymhayes.bsky.social recorded a clip that brings home what happened. When people lift video without crediting, it loses key context.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

NEW: Christian legal group Alliance Defending Freedom "deceived" the Supreme Court + "profoundly misrepresented" LGBTQ+ research, according to scholars cited by ADF.

Quoted experts speak out about ADF's "distortions" + "false evidence" in major case, on deck tomorrow, to revive "conversion therapy"

It's striking to me how much more national attention the deployment of National Guard in Chicago is getting over actions of other fed. officers in recent weeks (2 shootings, tear gas, arrests)

I think it points to a weakness of journalism: prioritizing what feels novel over impactful

One of the largest school districts in the nation, which was taken over by the state of Texas, deciding to shut out local media (us at chron.com and the Houston Chronicle included) should be a bigger story imo

Out Now: @gbbranstetter.bsky.social stops by the show to talk to us about the legal and cultural attacks against trans people during the second Trump administration. A bleak but critical listen

Journalists in Portland: Try to get photos of gas canisters/munitions, either spent on ground or still carried by DHS. ONLY IF SAFE. Use long lens. Risks unknown, don’t approach.

This green smoke isn’t super common. Raised concerns in 2020. Documenting DHS munitions may help accountability later.

Ten cars rammed into an ICE agent's vehicle and yet zero footage of the incident: ain't that something

David Barton, the widely ridiculed and perpetually corrected "amateur historian" who has mainstreamed the idea that church-state separation is a myth, will be advising the Texas State Board of Education on social studies curriculum.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Journalism that fails to infuse a historically informed lens is akin to covering the smoke but never asking who lit the fire. History-centered journalism should be the framework within every newsroom.

The hate crime charge against Alexa Wilkinson for photographing vandalism of the New York Times building is a dangerous precedent, no matter what you think of Wilkinson.

Thanks for all the kind words. I finally heard from my husband who is safe. He is being detained and it is not clear why he was detained or even if charges will be pressed.

Please pray for my family and if you can, reach out to your representatives and senators about this assault on our freedoms.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

"Just trying to grab some lunch and these fucking losers showed up. FUCK ICE!"

Journalist Mario Guevara has been deported. He spent three-plus months in ICE custody after livestreaming a protest, before being flown out of the U.S. on Oct. 3.

In a recent post, he wrote: “My dedication to my work cost me my freedom.”

What we just saw: state police not only assisting federal agents with crowd control out here, but also protester arrests.

All morning, this has been a nonviolent demonstration. Have not seen a single crime from this crowd (not that that would excuse the brutality).
