Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.
I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:
“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.
This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”
AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."
No public good is served here by disappearing a five-year-old instead of sending him home to his mother. This is policy stripped of humanity. This is ICE stripped of morality.
It must be abolished.
I love this point in Margaret Sullivan's newsletter:
"There should be far less emphasis on 'we don’t want to look biased,' and far more on 'how well are we doing our jobs of getting across the truth?'”
It's not biased to call out authoritarian liars. 1/2🧵 @sulliview.bsky.social
damn what is wrong with me, i am having the hardest time concentrating on work, i lament as i compulsively refresh live feeds of unspeakable horrors
HNY 🤪
I'm so sorry, Chris. The timing is also unbelievably messed up.
😮💨
The final hour has come for all to be revealed. Any last words?
We have no universal healthcare or even high-speed rail. Americans have long been inured to mediocrity (ashy turkey) despite better options staring us in the face (braised short ribs).

I know it feels pointless to speak up against this. I know you feel like it won't matter. Still, it remains imperative that we call a spade a spade (or, in this case, a traitor a traitor).
The President of the United States is sprinting to normalize the murder of journalists and dissenters.
When a reporter on Air Force One asked President Donald Trump a question about Epstein's recently revealed emails, Trump snapped at her, responding with the phrase “Quiet, piggy.”
The stench and this phrase will follow him the rest of his days
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
My everything is at home
pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
The contrast with SNAP is deafening.
The White House is stretching well beyond what anyone could claim is legal in order to pay the troops — while simultaneously stretching beyond what’s legal to NOT pay SNAP benefits.
We are not a monarchy. We are a constitutional democracy.
Let the world hear loud and clear today: America will never have a king.
![Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE DEFENDANTS’ EX PARTE APPLICATION
FOR STAY PENDING APPEAL [98]
On September 10, 2025, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction.
[Dkt. 83]. Defendants filed a Notice of Appeal nearly a month later. [Dkt. 89]. The instant Ex
Parte Application for Stay of the Preliminary Injunction Pending Appeal (“Application”) was
filed on October 15. [Dkt. 98].
Defendants contend that immediate, ex parte relief is required in light of the “No Kings”
rally scheduled to take place in Los Angeles (and across the country) on October 18. Application
at 2. They also assert various “workability” concerns and other substantive arguments largely
mirroring those raised and addressed in prior briefing. Id. at 12–31.
To justify ex parte relief, the moving party must show that its “cause will be irreparably
prejudiced if the underlying motion is heard according to regular noticed motion procedures,”
and that it is “without fault in creating the crisis that requires ex parte relief, or that the crisis
occurred as a result of excusable neglect.” Mission Power Eng’g Co. v. Cont’l Cas. Co., 883 F.
Supp. 488, 492 (C.D. Cal. 1995).
Here, Defendants waited five weeks after the Court issued its injunction to file their
Application, during which time the Court presumes Defendants complied with its order to
disseminate the injunction. Furthermore, they waited almost three weeks from when they first
indicated to Plaintiffs that they would be seeking a stay. Declaration of Peter Bibring in
Opposition to Application ¶ 2 [Dkt. 100-1] (noting that Defendants notified Plaintiffs of their
intent to move for a stay pending appeal on September 26, 2025). And Defendants waited over a](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6oexpvmrh6pxfay73gheefhm/bafkreiauxjjqvnm4lwc5guxf2rnogylkjblqtu2gkroojbdcewsxkl4rnm)

And Defendants waited over a
week from when they first filed their notice of appeal. Indeed, although they now assert urgency given the upcoming demonstrations, the protest has been well publicized for more than ten days. See Alexa Mae Asperin, List: 'No Kings' anti-Trump protests in Southern California on Oct. 18, Fox 11 L.A. (Oct. 7, 2025 at 10:48 PT), https://www.foxla.com/news/no-kings-day-anti-trump- protests-california-oct-18. In short, Defendants have not shown any exigency not of their own creation and therefore have not shown an entitlement to extraordinary relief. Notwithstanding these procedural deficiencies, the Court will address the merits of the arguments presented. To that end, the Court will issue a substantive order on the stay request no later than October 24, 2025. Given that a substantive opposition has already been filed, the matter is deemed submitted until then. All prior orders remain in full force and effect. IT IS SO ORDERED. Page 2 of 2 CI
Federal judge denies LAPD emergency motion to let officers to use force against press during #NoKings protest on Saturday.
I’m hearing, unconfirmed, City Council unanimously ordered City Attorney to withdraw motion anyway. Thank you! Much needed oversight!

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
Looks like one of the drop ceiling panels gave up and honestly, I respect that
