“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.” If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

Carney dumping more money into criminal sentencing and bail reform and more officers is WASTEFUL. You cannot stop crime after it happens! You must prevent it before it happens. Invest in housing. Basic income. Education. #cdnpoli

When JD Vance visits the Marine Corps in San Diego this weekend, he’ll arrive in a region feeling the fallout of a government shutdown — including at food pantries where federal workers are quietly seeking help.

RFK Jr to Tucker Carlson: “We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.” Reminds me of Harper/Poilievre! #cdnpoli

More from the same interview. Here he talks about the violent and dangerous “authoritarian left”. This guy can never be PM. This is him speaking candidly in a friendly room. This is the real Poilievre. #cdnpoli #uspoli

CHICAGO: “Feds chased a car through a residential neighborhood… intentionally crashed into the car.. responded to the crowd by hurling smoke grenades, shooting pepper balls and deploying 3 rounds of tear gas with children & seniors in the area…” chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

This line didn’t make sense the first time he said it, and it doesn’t make sense now. The fact that they continue to demonize millions of patriotic Americans engaging in peaceful protest tells you everything you need to know about them.

A coalition of 15 U.S. state governors representing more than a third of the country's population launched a new bipartisan alliance, aimed at improving public health coordination and emergency preparedness reut.rs/4n8IS90

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days. Epstein Shutdown.

ICYMI — PELOSI: “Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The President didn’t send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you’re a serious journalist?” (The unserious questioner is Alison Steinberg, who works for Mike Lindell — the my pillow guy)

I guess announcing covert ops ahead of time is the latest 4-D chess.

Nearly every Pentagon reporter from almost every major media outlet in America turned in their press badges today, after refusing to endorse the Defense Department's new rules that they say would make it impossible to do their jobs independently.

I’m not an intelligence guy, but how is a front page NYT story “covert?” Aren’t we supposed to, like, NOT alert them? Or does “secret authorization” mean something else?

NBC News has laid off 150 employees, eliminating teams dedicated to Black, Asian American, Latino and LGBTQ+ issues - The Wrap

Portland has fallen!

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me zeteo.com/p/mehdi-conn...

Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika. This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”

Trump regime forces brutally beat Americans in the streets of Chicago for witnessing their neighbours be kidnapped and disappeared in broad daylight. Concerned citizens stood up for themselves as the regime continues to expand its fascist terror campaign.

Trump doubling the bailout to Argentina to $40 BILLION (while they steal market from our farmers and Americans lose health care)

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics. That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Kaine: "We should not be allowing the president to create a secret enemies list and make the unilateral decision about whether to kill people without sharing that information at least with the Armed Service and Intel committees. So this is very troubling."

We were actually getting somewhere, too. 😞 @sbmitche.bsky.social www.library.hbs.edu/working-know...

The same folks that claim the only racism and hate is against white people.

Nick is right to let Annie go. He has a lot to figure out about himself. And she needs therapy. #loveisblind

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

Reporter: It's literally never been more expensive to buy a new car. The average transaction price topped $50,000 for the first time ever. Tariffs are adding to the cost of building a car. It's not just the auto tariffs, it's the tariffs on car parts and steel, aluminum, and copper

A precondition for Republics to transition to autocracies is the politicization of the military. It is why the political & military leaders of the country have been so vigilant to keep partisanship away from it. But this admin is dismantling that concept. www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/p...

Netanyahu announces Israel will not abide by the terms of facilitating humanitarian aid, despite it being a key ceasefire agreement clause. Didn't take long, did it?

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers. The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

Donald Trump is NEVER winning the Nobel Peace Prize and he is NEVER getting into Heaven.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents. ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities. The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.
