Mass shootings in the US, per Gun Violence Archive: 2015: 332 2016: 383 2017: 347 2018: 335 2019: 414 2020: 611 2021: 689 2022: 644 2023: 659 2024: 503 So far in 2025...324 mass shootings in just 272 days. We do not have to keep living like this.

Heartbroken by news of yet another senseless act of violence this morning at a house of worship. No American should ever fear for their safety - least of all when gathering peacefully to pray - and yet tragedies like this have become frequent.

This is such a wonderful pack, filled with lots of good people. I hope all who see this check it out and repost! Thank you, Marcie! I am always grateful to be in your packs. 💙☘️

Feds march into downtown Chicago; top border agent says people are being arrested based on ‘how they look’

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

These folks showed more restraint than I ever could. What’s wrong with people like this woman, who think the world revolves around them and lose it when they find out it doesn’t?

🚨BREAKING: Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe (R) signed House Bill 1 into law Sunday, approving a Trump-ordered gerrymander made to guarantee Republicans a 7-1 advantage in the state’s U.S. House delegation. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Portland not backing down.

Masked ICE agents slammed a 79-year-old U.S. citizen to the ground during a raid at his Van Nuys car wash. Now he’s suing DHS for $50 million.

I think the most telling part of this entire story is how they specifically separated her from her lawyer before grabbing her. That speaks volumes.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

Today the Trump administration federalized and deployed 200 National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. This is a reckless abuse of power. Troops have no business policing our communities.

Oregon is suing over 47's deployment of troops to the state.

Thanks to @hopeful66.bsky.social I get to make a bunch of new friends every week. And geez, you guys have great bios and posts. Thank u @hopeful66.bsky.social

Minutes after the bill was signed, my firm sued on behalf of affected voters. I told you I don 't bluff. Next up is to show that we win.

LOL "I spoke to the governor, she was very nice. But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place... www.kgw.com/article/news...

Oregon AG Rayfield: I know for a fact, from talking to cities across Oregon, that if you pick up the phone and ask, “What could be helpful?” the answer would not be the United States military.

UN: “Kids dying of starvation… what we give them is a peanut butter paste. We’ve been told we can’t bring that in because it’s a luxury.” AMANPOUR: “Seriously?”

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

Big Ugly Bill — DAMAGE CONTROL New Mexico is showing the rest of the nation how it’s done: Special session starts Oct 1 to protect Medicaid, lower premiums, and keep hospitals open. While D.C. Republicans are playing games, New Mexico is fighting to save health care for every family. 1/3

We're in a health care emergency: 15 MILLION people are going to lose their health care. Millions are about to see their premiums skyrocket. Republicans are in power. They need to roll back their massive health care cuts and fund the government.

Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison. It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake and board seat at TikTok. Everything is for sale.

Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe says he hasn't been contacted "at all" by the FBI about Comey and adds, "if my interactions with Comey was gonna be the basis of this entire prosecution, it's unbelievable that prosecutors wouldn't at least want to sit down and hear what I have to say about it."

Oregon governor says Trump is abusing his authority by ordering troops to Portland, a city that is "just fine."

While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

“Fascism is a political system built on control, fear, and loyalty to a strong leader. Fascism attacks democracy.” A quick primer on fascism and anti-fascism:

Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

National Guard troops are now functioning as ICE GOONS, aggressively detaining individuals they suspect may not be American during the federal occupation of Washington, D.C.

Zelensky at the UN: “Tens of thousands now know how to kill professionally using drones. It’s harder to stop such attacks than any knife, gun, or bomb. Even basic drones can fly thousands of kilometers. Soon, drones will fight drones, strike infrastructure and people—fully autonomously.”

@govpritzker.illinois.gov what authority does ICE have to manage use of public roads? That sounds like a job for local and state law enforcement. Not ICE.

Important news, ICUMI. Stay informed.
