They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible. Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.

Remember, everyone, this isn't happening. No matter how much it increases every day. Democrats are not campaigning against trans people. It's not happening.

I watched a student nearly drop out due to unmedicated ADHD, and then return following diagnosis and medication. She completed a fantastic, award-winning dissertation on her return - one of the best I have supervised at Plymouth. She always had the ability, just needed her ADHD under control.

We shouldn't have the death penalty in any case, but we certainly shouldn't be a society that puts it on pay-per-view. As someone pointed out, there's a line from video of detainees in ICE camps to Venezuela boat murders to this. The Fox Newsification of fascism.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

The usual suspects
Accounts based in the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel, Russia, Poland and Italy spread false and recycled footage of the student protests between 1 and 6 October, joined by accounts posting in German and Spanish. They presented a movement for teachers and heated classrooms as a race war, an Islamist uprising or the fall of France. Several posts told French voters what the answer was. "They're in desperate need of law and order and a right-wing President," the QAnon-styled account The Q Eye wrote on 1 October, over a video it captioned "Youth thugs and students in France are starting to RIOT and VIOLENTLY ATTACK teachers."
NewsGuard, which tracks false news, found that accounts based in Africa and posing as US users, some using the names of celebrities such as Mel Gibson, spread fake protest videos on 3 October. It found that Matryoshka, a Russian operation, circulated about 20 fabricated stories about the protests dressed up as reports by AFP, Deutsche Welle and Le Monde. France votes for a new president in April 2027.

The New York Times asks the RNC for crowd sizes for Trump's events. Rather than provide numbers, the RNC issues a meaningless statement, and the NYT prints it! Why would the RNC answer a reporter’s questions when the NYT is willingly to reprint Republican propaganda instead?
Natalie Baldassarre, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, responded to a request for crowd sizes at each event by saying on Sunday that the rallies were “drawing some of our highest ticket demands to date,” adding that “our Republican candidates will continue to build off this momentum and drive voters to the polls as we approach Election Day.”
