My brain has this embarrassing habit of mixing up similar names that have nothing to do with one another. Recent whimsical example, pointed out by an amused editor: Meant to write Elbridge Gerry, co-founder of the country. Instead wrote Eldridge Cleaver, co-founder of the Black Panthers.
According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time. [BU College Republicans preside...](

Here's a fundraising email I received for some reason. Turning Point is really embracing the civil, non-incendiary discourse we were told Charlie Kirk championed.* (*He didn't really champion those things, and I'm sure he would have been fine with this email.) https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreib7gvxkwn2kwfbtj2l6ywg6fwvkgkyal3wjvdo5yfg6yvyk63clti https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreiagufutowcb5oeh4ipzrovoqanahew6elsioy4nx4oyisevm3za7u
Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.

I think my Word of the Day email might be trolling the Democrats. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreifxth2nw4lnyxwj2nw4t4af5izhdzhtdqowiua4ax2myyg4i5jjgq

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. [www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...](

Holy crap. MAGA diehard Danielle Jurinsky lost her city council seat in Aurora, Colorado. She more than anyone is responsible for ginning up the false claim that Tren de Aragua had "taken over" the city. She also repeatedly tried to dissolve the city's groundbreaking public defender office. [Progressives may flip Aurora c...](

Progressives may flip Aurora council as voters reject Danielle Jurinsky and other incumbents
Jurinsky built ties with Trump during the 2024 campaign when he falsely claimed Aurora was being “taken over” by a Venezuelan prison gang.

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit. Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear. Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.
In Chicago, DHS refused to pause the raids and arrests so kids could go trick-or-treating without the risk of getting tear-gassed or subjected to violence. Meanwhile, DHS agents in Los Angeles celebrated the holiday by conducting raids while wearing horror movie masks. Sadism as public policy. [We Asked DHS if Federal Agents...](
