BREAKING: Following trial, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, finds that Trump did not properly invoke federal law to call up the National Guard and "permanently enjoins Defendants’ orders to deploy federalized members of the National Guard to Oregon."

BREAKING: Federal Judge Immergut in Portland rules Trump admin CANNOT deploy National Guard to Oregon. Grants state & city a PERMANENT injunction, barring troops indefinitely.

I can't overstate how proud I am of everyday Americans who hear whistles & come running to document, protest, bear witness, & to help however they can when ICE invades their neighborhoods. They know they might get gassed, abused, or even arrested. They show up anyway to protect their neighbors. 💜

SCOTUS can fuck ALLLLLL the way off.

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

"Many of them, he said, held legal status, but were unable to immediately produce their documentation to the agents. “Some people left their property, their work permits in their lockers here,” [their boss] said. “I could bring it to them and get them released. But I don’t know where they are.”"

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy. [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

"The understanding of history doesn't prepare you for the emotional reality of history. It doesn't even prepare those with imagination."- Claude Cahun This hits so hard right now. Claude & her partner staged a surrealist propaganda war against Nazi troops occupying their community. History rhymes.

Same news this morning from Michigan:

Why do states in the South have the lowest credit scores? “…medical debt, because that’s the most common type of unpaid bill that people have” Medical debt due to lack of Medicaid expansion: the legacy of the Republican antigovernment zealots. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Stark warning from Mississippi's Republican Insurance Commissioner: “I don’t know where America’s headed, but we've got to redefine how we address health insurance and health care in this country. If not, we will not have health care in the state of Mississippi in some areas, especially the Delta.”

So people aren’t going to talk about Trump standing in front of military members in Japan and saying he’s considering using missiles against citizens in country and that he will deploy the military “whether people like it or not”

An extensive new report just dropped detailing attacks on protesters and neighbors outside the Broadview detention center:

SCHOENING's testimony, at a federal trial on the legality of Trump's guard deployment in Portland, describes federal officails as repeatedly using "indiscriminate" force against protesters despite no signs of threat from protesters.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming. Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

It’s great when you put a lot of work into an article and you get good feedback. I spent a while writing this to make sure it was accurate and informative, without being too technical or complex - and it seems to have worked! Do check it out if you've ever wondered wtf the 'AI bubble' is all about

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

man this sucks

Justice Kavanaugh: "and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States."

Notice how it’s somehow the government’s job to legislate a few Bible verses on human sexuality over our entire country, but it’s suddenly “not the government’s job” when it comes to the +2,500 Bible verses calling for a generous use of wealth that prioritizes the poor.

My biggest pet peeve when working in food pantries or donation centers is, these are not places to send your trash or things you don't want. These are lifelines for real people who need a little bit of extra help. If you wouldn't eat it, or use it, don't donate it.

Any time someone is confused by poverty in the U.S. you have to remind yourself that one of the central projects of middle class America is to not have to know that the poors exist.

On Sunday, a DOJ whistleblower told 60 Minutes what the public has suspected for months now: The Trump administration told him to lie to a judge about Ábrego García. trib.al/TE5xu42 "What’s to stop them if they decide they don’t like you anymore? To say you’re a criminal, you’re a member of MS-13?"

there are lessons from No Kings' scale that serve us all. if this is the sum of your protest experience, what's next for you? if you are someone plugged into movement and direct action outside electoral politics, can this be an opportunity for you to radicalize someone and bring new resources in?

AWS outage? It's almost like everyone in the world using the same cloud web hosting is...a bad idea.

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

MAGA’s entire schtick is built upon resentment of the elites. So to prove it they elected the most spoiled, greedy, narcissistic elites that America has ever produced.

Imagine thinking they ever cared about debt, fraud, waste, abuse, or anything of the sort. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

There's no "correct" or "perfect" way to be against fascism. It is going to take many people using many different tools of resistance to stop it. If you feel like yr hot take on protest or resistance is needed, ask yrself: does it move resistance forward? Is it helpful? Or is it just yr ego?

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al. A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator" 3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota, home of Senate Leader John Thune. Don’t let anyone tell you we’re not fighting in the red states. #NoKings

In the literature, we call rallies like this "image events" because they help **focus media attention** on a major strain of ideological resistance that is big enough for lots of people to feel comfortable. They create IMAGES that FOCUS our ATTENTION and AFFECT to mobilize frequently.

Rallies like this bring together multigenerational groups and the playfulness can help create enthusasim for big tent politics against the monoculture of fascism.

The frogs (and unicorns and dinosaurs) will be defining ideographs of this period of struggle.

When the conflict expands in scale & scope, the good feelings help propel people to do hard things. Shitting on the public rallies is fucking dumb. It's also ahistorical and lacks any serious engagement with the history of social movement successes in the US. It's just trashy demobilization.

Fun and play are often a part of social movements as the people trust the larger group to hold their values as the conflict with the state expands. The anti-WTO protests in Seattle in 1999 were full of folks dressed like loggerhead turtles and dolphins and stuff dancing to RATM. Very fun + serious.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

Check out these amazing pictures & videos of the millions of Americans nationwide—in cities and towns big and small—who went out in the street today to show that they will fight for the promise of democracy in the US (gift link)

Holy fuck! No Kings protesters are marching through Center City in Philadelphia. 🙌💪👏✊️👇
