so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

The interview will be conducted by the latest addition to the 60 Minutes team, James Woods

Utterly exhausting. Being constantly and consistently wrong should be grounds for getting terminated.

THE PURGE Polls show that Project 2025 didn’t resonate. Voters thought it wasn’t real. Well, now we’re living it and it’s already 47% implemented after only 9 months. Trump’s shutdown is a shortcut: gut the federal workforce, fire career experts, replace them with loyalists. Laid out in P2025. 🧵

Re-sharing & asking you to amplify: Every single fact about the South Shore federal raid just days ago is worse than the last. They kicked in doors & dragged Chicago families out in the middle of the night. I know we're all stressed but THIS IS VERY BAD blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/02/s...

Duncan: But I’m proud to say I’m a Democrat. I’m proud that I can show up to work every day with a better toolkit to love my neighbor—instead of villainizing everyone or putting an asterisk next to someone just because they don’t look like me, talk like me, love like me, or worship like me.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

‘This Moment Is a Test,’ Says Ocasio-Cortez as Government Shutdown Begins “What I’m not going to do is tolerate 4 million uninsured Americans because Trump decided one day that he just wants to make sure that kids are dying because they don’t have access to insurance, That’s what’s not gonna happen

Priorities.

before and after hegseth's directive

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

like, the fact that they felt this spectacle was necessary is itself evidence that they don't have the military support that they want

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

Sir that is no way to talk to the Supreme Court

No more socialism for socialism-haters:

lmao

The reason we're rounding up grandmothers and shoving them onto concrete floors for months at a time with no habeas corpus is in part because soft human trafficking is an incredibly lucrative business for some people in this administration.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice. When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

Jessica: The guy who drove up to the Mormon church… was a Trump supporter. He had a Trump-Vance flag in his backyard… When the shoe is on the other foot and you can't demonize the left for this one, they say nothing.

This raises significant questions, to put it mildly. Who is the acting President, if not Himself? Does a vacant scarecrow occupy the throne?

Crazy, if true.* *It's true, all of it.

McMorrow: Meanwhile, farmers are being told, “You’ll be okay because we’re going to bail you out.” Having pennies put back in your pocket while Donald Trump is building ballrooms or filling the Oval Office with gold décor from Home Depot just feels insulting. It is beyond insulting.

@nhannahjones.bsky.social: Through gossamer tributes, Kirk’s cruel condemnation of transgender people & racist throwback views about Black Americans were no longer anathema but instead treated as just another political view to be respectfully debated. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...

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."

The Governor Newsom Press Account is beyond good.

Can't we just get healthcare

Missouri's Governor just signed the GOP's illegal map. It will now be sued.

The cognitive dissonance here is truly incredible.

Why are they unable to sell the harvest, Senator?

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.

Thou shalt worry less about Tylenol causing autism and more about Donold causing fascism.

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left. And it’s not even close!

"A Portland Police Bureau assistant chief said in court recently that federal police were 'instigating' some of the clashes between officers and protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland." www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

This is my great concern—that people with more money, power, social status, and wherewithal will abdicate their responsibility to defend free society, and allow repression to fall on those who have fewer resources, such as their junior employees. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“Autism does not destroy families. The struggles and battles to get systems of support for their loved ones — THAT is what typically destroys families.” Grateful to the families in the autism community who shared their thoughts, experiences and insight for this one. Gift link: wapo.st/4gNUxZc

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

💯

Our guys need to pay attention to this and take a lesson !!!
