A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

I'm so fucking sick of seeing the national guard shit heads walking around my block every day. Get the fuck out of DC you fucking losers

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

Updated chart with where teams can* still finish with two weeks remaining in the season. The set of playoff teams is getting clearer but the order is very up in the air *note that some of these results are highly unlikely due to things like goal differential

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

We're planning a public execution. We only admit white "refugees" from a former apartheid state. Our domestic security service uses white nationalist messaging. And the president routinely appears to encourage or endorse violence against his opponents & the media. Nothing subtle or complicated here.

The deployment of the National Guard in DC is illegal. We are back in court this morning arguing against the continued presence of thousands of armed troops in our city. We're staying in this fight because the US military should not be policing American citizens anywhere in America — including DC.

Journalists who report Sam Alito's assurances that overturning same-sex marriage is "not realistic" without acknowledging that the conservative legal movement spent five decades building a Supreme Court that would overturn Roe v. Wade are, for all intents and purposes, lying to you

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

It took me 45 hours to do my first part 1 in Fortune's Weave. JFC it's gonna take me like 250 hours just to finish the game.

At the last Austin FC home game, an Austin FC supporter was tossed from the stadium for wearing an Abolish ICE shirt, days after ICE shot a man in Austin a couple miles from the stadium. Supporter groups have tried to have a dialogue with the FO, but are unsatisfied. So tonight…

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.
