Best as I can tell, this is what happened.
It’s hard to be on here right now because of all the dooming. It seems that we soft-lost this battle, but there will be others.

Quick note about this again; the 100 mile zone has nothing to do with Border Patrol’s ability to operate. They can operate anywhere in the country.
The 100 mile zone is ONLY about where they have heightened stop and search powers.
It’s not a jurisdictional thing.

Some personal news: I have been financially supporting a family member in a mental health crisis which has spiraled into a financial disaster.
I would like to keep doing progressive activism but I can no longer pay rent for myself and my two kids.
Please help if you can. Thank you very much.

Related, there is a huge labor market mismatch in home health care. Older people need & are willing to pay for home health care, but unemployed young white men are unwilling to take these jobs. My parents & ILs are both in this situation, and the labor pool is immigrants, minorities, and older women

Real question: young women are facing the same economic/structural dead ends, but it doesn’t appear that they are being radicalized into anti-Semitism and violence. Why is that? Also, this is mostly a problem for young *white* men. Why is that?

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇
KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

This framing that it was Jackson doing it is not how they normally put stuff like this. They’re trying to lie to you with the truth. It was a legal maneuver designed to minimize the delay and held until as late as possible to give time for states to irreversibly process the payments.

I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”
ICE poised to ramp up raids in Baltimore by Thanksgiving
The Trump administration has rush-ordered infrastructure to conduct raids, abduct residents, and detain people for months.

So there’s a lot of talk On Here about Us Dweebs vs. Normies. This year I hired a trans staff member. There have been bureaucratic issues around security clearances, I-9 forms, signing up for payroll accounts, etc., and everyone I have dealt with, from the lowest clerk to the rep of the most

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.
Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.
Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.
Glad everything worked out for them.

Just got an alert that ICE is showing up today in Park Slope. I have a feeling that their presence is going to grow quickly in retaliation for Mamdani’s win.
Chicagoans have learned a lot. I have to think ppl have put together good resources to post about how to effectively resist them?

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.
