just a devastating dispatch from @nysfocus.com about the acceleration of kids having to argue for asylum alone, without an attorney, and then most of them getting deported nysfocus.com/2026/07/31/t...

"In just four months, the borough’s four police officers have pulled over and checked the status of dozens of motorists — mainly commercial truck drivers — and turned over 32 arrestees to ICE" important @willbunch.bsky.social dispatch from area where I grew up www.inquirer.com/opinion/moun...
“In terms of lifestyle, United States President is the worst job on earth, and asking a non-sociopath to seek the job because it is good for the movement is close to asking them to sacrifice their life for the cause.”
Hamilton NolanThe left needs a candidate it can unite around in the 2028 primaries and AOC is the only real choice. Nobody else checks all of the boxes. Every other option is worse. If she doesn't run, it's a missed opportunity of historic proportions. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/aoc-must-r...
“Their 14-month-old daughter, Giovanni, was found crying beside her mother’s body” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...
really good reporting by @marisakabas.bsky.social (feels worth noting story like this is fraught/challenging even at big, traditional paper/media institution w/ a lot of money/lawyers etc — very impressive/brave to tackle as a smaller independent site) www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...
“I don’t really care about those labels nowadays,” Kelly said. “I like that he stands for making sure nobody seems to feel marginalized, like we’re all in this together, we all win together. “If that’s what socialism is,” she added, “I’m all for it!” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

At the straight-up fascist “Remigration” - aka Ethnic Cleansing - summit in Portugal 6 wks ago, Bovino spoke of ongoing dialogue/friendship w/ neo-Nazi Martin Sellner should be a giant scandal, w/ congressional hearings etc, that an actual Nazi oversaw ICE sweeps/murders in Minneapolis & elsewhere
Aaron RuparJake Tapper reports that Greg Bovino on a call with the office of the US Attorney in Minnesota during Metro Surge made an antisemitic remark about the Trump-friendly US Attorney in Minnesota
This is why pushing Bovino out was always ruse to briefly placate public outrage: this admin ultimately believes in the same murderous, unapologetic ethnic cleansing as Bovino - a belief Bovino has since promoted at straight-up Nazi conferences/podcasts forums.talkingpointsmemo.com/t/greg-bovin...
Aaron RuparHoman on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."
My book, To Catch A Fascist, details other members of Patriot Front, a neo-Nazi group, w/ family ties to people in power. They include: - the nephew of U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty - the son of former San Diego County GOP Chair - the son of a Washington state judge - the son of a city councilman
Andy KaczynskiNEW: Senate candidate Mike Collins son-in-law—featured in campaign photos, registered to vote at a Collins-owned property and appearing to do work for his company— is a white nationalist influence who has promoted Nazi imagery and called for clearing America of minorities www.cnn.com/2026/07/16/p...
the "I am frustrated" quote in the headline is from a Blanche email to Ed Martin after Martin fucked up a statement he sent me for a story I was writing for @zeteo.com (Martin both misstated his title to me & forgot to run the statement through the press office) www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/u...
for years the right has shared memes/fantasies about running leftists over with cars, GOP even passed state legislation allowing it against protesters notable ICE now using clearly fake narrative of immigrants/protesters (Renee Good) trying to run agents over as justification for murder
Portland Press HeraldWitness says Biddeford shooting victim told police ‘I tried to stop’
“She was still in her bluey pajamas”
Leah Greenberg ❌👑A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:
quote I got in 2017 going viral again - it happens like three times a year (most people don’t realize the Nazi who said it to me was arrested few hours later after he and two other Nazis opened fire on counter-protesters) www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...
