"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Every question any reporter asks about the government shutdown should include, “Is it true the government is shutdown so Congress can’t vote on the release of the #EpsteinFiles?”

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Funny what money can do for a marriage. 🙄

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Spot on.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

ah, dang....was hoping for fatal illness report, anything better than reading OUR military is going to parachute into an AMERICAN city to attack citizens who the military is supposed to protect

Kavanaugh said citizens who are Latino have “no good basis” to think they’ll be racially profiled & “certainly no good basis” to think an unlawful stop is “imminent" Leo Venegas, a citizen who is Latino, was racially profiled & wrongfully detained 2x in 3 weeks ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/brett...

This tinpot tyrant thinks he can act as judge and jury, handing out anticipatory prison sentences for people who might engage in clearly constitutional behavior (as ruled by the Supreme Court).

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

Casey Desantis’s charity that got $10 million redirected from a Medicaid fraud settlement the state entered into directly into its bank account rather than the FL treasury.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

Is the president doing it, attacking him after failing talks on the budget? No? Thats the difference. Trump as usual is unserious and doesn't respect anyone...hes not ever going to understand how to be a human, at least not a good human

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup. It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

Soybean Farmers?

A lot of greed too

that meeting of all the generals/admirals tuesday was probably a good thing--it let them see the unconstitutional rantings of trump, the malevolent intentions to attack American citizens, & the unhinged mental condition of trump to prepare them to evaluate every order & do everything to protect us

Not sure what Pete is but he acts terminally stupid, unaware of the military ethos, and only serves trump not constitution or USA

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

hegseth--idiot trumpist loser--Pete is not one of those alpha males. He's neither an officer or a gentleman. Not sure what he is, but i know i don't like him or his stupid unAmerican behavior.

🦋🕊️THANK YOU MARK FOR THE FOLLOW BACK! 🕊️🦋 @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

You know what treason looks like? A convicted criminal using the White House to send troops as his personal army to peaceful American cities that he hates in order to instill fear and create chaos.

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

This and other reports from oregonlive.com show what a joke Trump’s claim of “war ravaged Portland” is. Actually, it’s not a joke; it’s a lie. h/t @hcrichardson.bsky.social ‘s newsletter www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

There is absolutely zero need for this costly show of militarized force in Portland. 📌 Armored vehicles with federal agents arrived at the federal building in Portland.

Obama is Exactly 💯 Correct ! And ROEVEMBER Is Just Around The Corner.......

The function of the American health care system is to make huge profits for the insurance and drug companies. Not acceptable. Our job is to fight for the U.S. to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a human right.

And there’s the not insignificant detail that the majority of farmers voted for Trump. Twice. — I think let them go bankrupt, maybe then they’ll finally learn something.

I understand bailing out farmers who suffered some sort of natural disaster or blight to their crops from a parasite, disease, etc. But that’s not what is happening. They can’t sell their abundant crops because of one man. Trump did it, he can pay the farmers out of his crypto.

🤣🤣

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Who’s ready for #NoKingsDay on Oct. 18th Find an event: www.nokings.org#map

That man just authorized the military to use deadly force against American citizens on American soil then went golfing like it's nothing.

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.
