New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

So insulting to young men.
Flippant remarks like this come from a place of believing that the only way we win back men os by leaning into their bigotries, which apparently starts with letting a guy that kept a nazi tattoo on his chest for 18 years & said bigoted things online for years be the Democratic senatorial nominee.

So insulting to young men.
Weekly Skews: "Democrats suck. But we still need to vote for as many Dems as possible. Cause they are better than the alternative."
"I am jealous of Republicans who get to vote against Chuck Schumer."
"The entire Senate Dem Caucaus is responsible for caving, not just the 8."

The man ain’t wrong.
I think we are in an existential war against the darkness. Our ammunition is not bullets & explosive shells but joy & love. Our guns are not rifles or cannons but our interactions with people around us.
We have no choice in this. You either fight or you allow the hate & evil to take over our world

People and orgs whose brand is "smart, fact-based, no-nonsense" under no circumstances should mistake any political position or vibe as an adequate substitute for actual facts.
"Trying to look moderate" is often a recipe for rejecting the evidence of your eyes and ears.

It’s 12 November, so it’s time to mark the 55th anniversary of the exploding whale of Oregon, an attempt to clear a cetacean carcass from a beach which prompted one reporter to say “The blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds”

Solid thread on why so many liberal or progressive Christians try to disown their awful fellow Christians.
There's a word progressive Christians need to learn when calling out the blatant violations of core tenants by "bad" Christians. HERESY. But that's your internal fight over Christianity.

I understand the, "but they're not actually Christians!" impulse that comes from too many people re fascism. They WANT to believe the religion that preaches love, tolerance, & forgiveness couldn't possibly be responsible for all of this.

Sorry to be this person but because it reinforces the point: if you lose 1 of every 4 birds that means there should be 33% more birds than currently
Also there should be almost 30% more butterflies in order to bring their population up to the level they were in *2000*

Thinking a lot about how poorly our brains recognize long term subtle changes, like climate change or biodiversity loss. We've lost something like 1 out of every 4 individual birds in the US since 1970, more for some species.
There should be at least 25% more birds around you right now.

In case people aren't mad enough at the IL Senate delegation, a reminder that Durbin is racing against the clock, racking up Ls as fast as he can in his final stretch
Again, the 6 IL Dems who lied about the fact that he defamed their constituents, voting "YES" to a resolution claiming that Charlie Kirk spoke with "honor, courage, and respect for his fellow Americans" 🤢
Durbin, Duckworth, Budzinski, Foster, Schneider, Sorensen
(DNV: Casten, Garcia, Schakowsky)

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,
don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.
Don’t bother.
Please.
And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.
