LOOK UP! A severe geomagnetic storm is underway. Auroras have been viewed as far south as Texas. If it’s dark where you are, look north for the geomagnetic glow. If you can't see anything, try taking a nighttime exposure using your smartphone. You might be surprised. spaceweatheralerts.com

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville has said a lot of ridiculous things. After Zohran Mamdani won in NYC, it got worse.

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

PSA: The No Kings PAC is not affiliated with and had no role in putting on the 10/18 mobilization. If you get a spammy text from them claiming your donation will be 5x matched, know that it's not from anyone involved in the No Kings protest (and please direct your angry emails to them, not us)

Federal judges will hear arguments on the case of Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia student activist who was arrested at his US citizenship hearing in April.

As he told our friends at @revealnews.org months ago, he believes he was detained "to intimidate other students, to make an example of me."

Today, before federal judges, the Trump administration will argue why Mohsen Mahdawi, a student activist who temporarily won his freedom against ICE, should be locked up once again.

As he told us in June, his arrest is a clear attempt by the administration "to intimidate other students."

We’re in court today fighting for Mohsen Mahdawi and Rümeysa Öztürk.

Mohsen and Rümeysa were released from ICE detention on bail after they were detained by the Trump administration in retaliation for their speech in support of Palestinian human rights.

On Tuesday, September 30, the U.S. government will argue before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to overturn Mahdawi’s release. If successful, the appeal could result in his immediate re-imprisonment.

Stand in solidarity.
