I am once again calling on state governors to mobilize their National Guards to escort congressmembers into ICE facilities so they can DO THEIR LAWFULLY ASSIGNED FEDERAL DUTIES

So Karoline Leavitt believes the Democrats “evil plan” was to enact policies which convinced millions of immigrants to travel thousands of miles and “invade” America, then get sick, so they could storm hospitals where doctors-who are “in on it”-would see them first, forcing “real Americans” to wait

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

Oh. Election denier and right winger Pizzagate TPUSA hack Jack Posobiec appears to have voted illegally - living in Maryland but voting in Pennsylvania. From Jacqueline Sweet at @slate.com and @marisakabas.bsky.social at The Handbasket: slate.com/news-and-pol...

The human instinct to avoid discomfort is really dangerous right now. We need to break that. I'm talking 30+ days of *coordinated* habit-breaking and community building: boycotts, protests, media blitzes, learn-ins, etc. Basically, America needs a self-help book.

ICE’s brutality is no longer confined to the shadows. Don’t miss this episode of Protect & Serve with @mayaonstage.bsky.social and @michaelfanone.bsky.social with guests @glennkirschner.bsky.social and @frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/the-alarmi...

Go to hud.gov and use the website feedback button to tell them the website is for all Americans and to take down this partisan propaganda. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

If you live in Illinois, we need your help. This will take less than five minutes and will truly pressure your local elected officials to stand with the people rather than ICE.

This is more or less what the American Revolution was about

Join us for this weeks episode of Punching Up tomorrow, October 1st at 5 PM ET, live! Host @mayaonstage.bsky.social sits down with Cliff Cash for a discussion filled with laughter that makes the fascists see red! Make sure you don’t miss it, see you in the chat! open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Republicans don’t need a single Dem vote to keep the government open. Yet here is the banner at HUD today.

Join us on October 3rd We’re holding a live AMA with Congressional Candidate Kat Abughazaleh on r/50501. It’s a chance to hear directly from someone running for office without the usual filters. Come with your honest questions, thoughts, and concerns. Now’s the time to ask! @katmabu.bsky.social

Consider this the wake-up call. The snooze button is broken. We fight fascism now because it’s going to be a lot more dangerous when they decide that everyone who isn’t in a MAGA hat gets shot.

The alleged shooter in Michigan. Weird that Vance and Patel haven’t tweeted out this info. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽 www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

I have been taking surfing lessons. Still in the beginner kook trenches, but celebrating my last time on a foam board 😎 Graduating to a hard top next session. It’s fun to learn new things! Even if you look like a goober at the beginning. 🏄🏽‍♀️

Just a reminder: democrats can’t shut down the government. Republicans hold the majority.

IN 15 MINUTES: Free Speech is disappearing before our eyes, so we have to get our licks in while we still can. The Breakdown will attempt to further hurt Trump's precious feelings at 7 PM EST: https://youtu.be/RpdDOIdW6M0

Going to get @michaelfanone.bsky.social’s take on this f*ckery on tonight’s Protect & Serve. Cc: @lincolnsquare.media

Two new unrelated things! 1. I'm taking singing lessons bc f*ck it why not. 2. Michael Fanone and I have a new show launching TONIGHT!

Tonight at 6 PM ET: The premiere of Protect & Serve, a 4-part live series hosted by @mayaonstage.bsky.social (Punching Up) and @Michael Fanone, former DC police officer. Kicking it off is Rosa Brooks, Georgetown law professor, author and former DC reserve officer open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Before this chaos gets normalized, the adults in the room need to come together to remind the American people what good governance looks like. Shadow government with sane alternative policy proposals, please, thanks. 🙏🏾

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

Another wild ride down the Christian Nationalist rabbit hole with @timwhitaker.bsky.social. And this time his co-host @aprilajoy.bsky.social joined in — can you believe it’s this much fun tackling one of the most complex threats to our democracy?? Check out their new show on @lincolnsquare.media 👇🏾

Join us live today at 5 PM ET for this weeks episode of Punching Up! @mayaonstage.bsky.social hosts Tim Whitaker and April Ajoy (the New Evangelicals) to discuss the Tim and April Show, premiering on Lincoln Square this Thursday at noon! See you in the chat! open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Voters in southwest Arizona are highly likely to elect a new Democratic House member in a special election today. That would-be lawmaker plans to become the 218th and clinching supporter of a bipartisan effort to force public disclosure of federal investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Yikes. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...

Because god forbid MAGA discovers that chainsawing government agencies doesn’t make for a good economy.

Goebbles or Miller?

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

This is the part of the movie where I lean over and ask, “if the rapture is tomorrow why do we care about tylenol and autism?”

Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side. You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!

The assault on decency and democracy is being conducted by 2 armies: The Christofascists, who want to force everyone to worship their white, vengeful god. And the mega-thieves, whose only god is money. The people who wrap themselves in holiness are fortifying the people who glory in sin.

“God-centered, virtuous education for students.” This is from a Department of Education press release.

A trans woman was left hospitalized after being viciously assaulted by multiple teenagers in a hate crime. Hate isn't born, it's taught and these kids are learning this from adults. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🚨 FCC Chief Brendan Carr authored the chapter about the FCC for The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. Does Carr agree with his Heritage Foundation colleagues? Posted July 3, 2024: "The Second American Revolution will remain bloodless if the Left allows it to be."

“We will not shop at your stores. We will not tune into your TV and radio stations. We will not send our kids & our money to your universities, or use your services if you are going to enable our slide to authoritarianism.” Representative Jason Crow heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-...

It’s not too late to call your governor and ask them to join forces against this fascist regime. #courage2025 www.instagram.com/reel/DOyq3dQ...

Did someone FCC and merger? #FCC www.npr.org/2025/05/19/n...

👏🏾⚖️👇🏾 This. #FCC

By the time people realize their grocery bill isn’t lower and their energy costs are higher, they won’t be allowed to speak about it. This isn’t a joke. We’re not allowed to do those anymore.

No Breakdown tonight, but we will be back next week in full force. In the meantime, subscribe to our YouTube channel so you never miss an episode: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLincolnProject

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

By the time people realize their grocery bill isn’t lower and their energy costs are higher, they won’t be allowed to speak about it. This isn’t a joke. We’re not allowed to do those anymore.

They aren’t responding to their viewers, they are reacting to government threats and intimidation.

Will we get a list of appropriate haircuts and clothing? I'm not a planner per se, but I would like to get ahead of all this fascism.
