Something that’s incredibly depressing is that in fiction, all the shady and evil stuff has to be done in secret, because once they are found out the evildoers face justice. Out in the real world, all the shady and evil stuff happens out in the open and half the people argue it’s actually good

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

Seriously! Where is the reporting on this. This seems like the largest escalation yet on the federal government’s takeover of major US cities

Last week, Missouri GOP leaders blocked a voter-led ballot measure to stop the state's new Trump-approved gerrymander, a move that a voting rights expert says is part of a broader national effort to undermine direct democracy. https://bit.ly/3Ky0Ofw

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

It's so fucking infuriating to see these "journalists" let people like Vought control a conversation by making 100% unfounded claims using bullshit language. They are accelerating our descent every time they refuse to check the admin.

"The conditions at this facility are horrendous. They are committing crimes against humanity."

Everything is so stupid

Why are they unable to sell the harvest, Senator?

What would the reaction be if Democratic politicians went on TV every week to talk about how scary and dangerous Louisiana was, or how bleak and depressing life in rural Mississippi is, or how Oklahoma ranks last in education and “God, can you imagine being from there?”

The correct answer is no, it violates the posse comitatus act.

Going online, everything sucks right now. News are depressing. Posts can be hateful. Misinformation spreads like wildfire. Online is where we get and spread information, but please take some time to unplug, unwind, and clear your thoughts. It makes a world of difference, and you come back better.

You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.

I got to talk with my Governor Gavin Newsom today. We swapped the fancy PR backdrop for real talk about Trump, democracy, and why “crazy California” might save us all. Watch it here: open.substack.com/pub/mrsfrazz...

Update: It's come to light that some unnamed person called the ICE tip line to (falsely) report Mohamed... and ICE was all too happy to oblige. 🤬 The far-right has turned us into a nation that pits neighbor against neighbor, where "agents" chase quotas, not justice.

Republicans KNOW he’s GUILTY AF 😳

Let that sink in for a sec.

"Gerrymandering is the Republicans’ favorite game. By rigging the vote, they’re 'winning,' and they aren’t slowing down any time soon!" Today, all eyes are on Texas. But Republicans, coast to coast, are looking for ways to limit our electoral power! 👀 open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

Trump can’t escape the Epstein files nipping at his heels #ReleaseEpsteinFiles

From Dr. Bernice King. Enough said.

This is what fear looks like.

Even if you think the Epstein story will go away and MAGA will bend the knee, I'm not going to stop talking about it. I'm not going to HELP them. So, no need to tell me I'm wasting my time. Advocating for the survivors to get at the truth is never a waste of time. <3

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 230+ Venezuelan deportees the Trump administration sent to CECOT matched those on the lists. (Published May)

The far-right just gained 13 seats in Japan. This is what happens when the rich hoard everything & call it order. Global oligarchs feast on our fear, they divide us so they can rule with impunity. Populism fills the vacuum & we all suffer. MAGA was the prototype. The cancer is global now.

Elon Musk's Grok AI supercomputer plant in Memphis uses three gas turbines to power it, and they pump out illegal and harmful levels of toxic nitrogen oxides into one of the already most smog-polluted cities in the US. It is mostly harming a large black community. capitalbnews.org/musk-xai-mem...

When you’re definitely not guilty.

The Trump regime plans to accelerate deportations without due process, sending immigrants to countries they aren’t even from. It’s terrifying and outrageous. But we’re not helpless—donate, call your governor and legislators, and find more ways to help.

The working class, people of color, queer people, immigrants, students, renters, disabled folks, we are the majority. We know what suffering looks like. The powerful want us to hate each other, because united we are a force. Divided, we are manageable. Let’s build a table wide enough for all of us

Medicaid cuts mean longer ER waits and fewer nurses. The MAGA Regime is gutting Medicaid and making you pay. Are you comfortable with this?

The judiciary remains one of the last bastions in our political system to resist Trump’s unlawful overreach So it seems clear-by arresting Judge Dugan and broadcasting it on social media That his toadies are trying to intimidate jurists Effectively saying, “If you don’t comply, you might be next”

The Trump regime’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 has lead to the DOJ further empowering ICE agents. The Department of Justice is now directing ICE officers to conduct warrantless searches of people’s homes if they even suspect an “alien enemy” is present. Mere suspicions of gang…
