ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Everyone should learn about Gisele Pelicot & how her case was a stunning example of why women are done hearing “not all men”. Everyone failed her. Her own husband drugged her & arranged for her to be abused. Her doctors ignored her medical complaints. Misogyny & patriarchy destroyed her life:

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

"COVID infection and long COVID substantially raise the risk for serious cardiovascular complications — including heart failure, arrhythmias, stroke, and thromboembolism — according to a clinical consensus statement from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)." www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

🤯OMG… If you’ve been following the raid on that apartment building in Chicago — the one where children were taken out naked in the middle of the night — the details about how and why it happened just keep getting worse...

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility. Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying. All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

I’ve repeatedly said we need messengers not martyrs. The below link will let you sign up for a No Kings Protest near you.✊🏽 If you’ve never been to a protest, grab a friend & attend. We have a Constitutional right to protest. Use it while we still can.❤️ Register: courage2025.org/nk2 #Courage2025

“He’s a world class leader. He’s a man who knows what he wants. I’m not surprised he won substantially and he’s probably more popular now. He’s a good man. He does a great job but he’s a tough negotiator.” I think I just heard Pierre Poilievre’s heart break. #Cdnpoli 🇨🇦

Miles was chief of staff at DHS in Trump’s first term 👇🏽

Notice her non-answer. This is explosive. Should be explosive. The US AG who said she had the Epstein files on her desk cannot say whether or not the FBI has pix of Trump with half-naked women, which one witness who knew Epstein has said he has seen.

Two 17 year old girls were brutally murdered in New Jersey when a truck ran them over going 70mph. 17 year old Vincent Battiloro is charged with first degree murder. The suspected motive? One of the girls declined his advances. He couldn’t handle hearing the word “no” 🧵

This story needs national attention. Not just because what happened to her was horrific, but also to get the American public accustomed to the idea that ICE cannot be trusted

FYI: If you saw this post yesterday making the rounds, it’s not true, and has since been quietly deleted. (Reposting it now only because it seems like a LOT of people believed it, or wanted to.)

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen. Bar none. Period. That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens. She deserves the Nobel Prize

The image they shared showed riot police and a crowd with flares and red smoke, designed to support Trump's claim that Portland's protests were out of control, but was actually a digital composite of two unrelated photographs from different South American countries. www.rawstory.com/trump-oregon...

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

"Blue medical masks and cloth masks are great at helping a sick person keep their germs to themselves. 🚨Only a proper fitting respirator, like an N95, KN95 or CAN95, protects the wearer from germs, especially diseases like COVID-19 and measles, which travel through the air." 😮 Pigs flew today!

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

"but that is not the story" i have so much respect for this brave young woman

"U.S. citizens, immigrants with legal status and children have been among those detained in increasingly brazen and aggressive encounters..." apnews.com/article/chic...

‼️‼️

Every major police agency in the country bans this.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Unprecedented constitutional crimes every day, & yet somehow it’s still not the main front page headline every day. The noise is getting covered. The signal is absent.

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Have an American walking into my posts saying we pay high taxes, and get nothing out of it, let me clarify for people who don't know, our taxes, pay for Universal Health Care, Maternity Leave, Dentalcare, & many other social programs, as well, our taxes are now pretty close to the US /1

Stephen Miller has been waging a campaign of stochastic terrorism against judges. This attack sent three members of a judge’s family to the hospital.

"If you aren't willing to have someplace you went shouted from the rooftops, leave the devices at home." Or take them with you in a Faraday bag. That way, if you need it you have it, but it can't be tracked as long as it is in the bag.

“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

Especially considering how quickly the media ignored/turned on her when she got more pointed in her politics. If she just wanted fame and money, she would have pulled back. But instead, she's using her notoriety in the most powerful ways. Whatta legend.

Nonviolent ≠ peaceful. Especially at this stage, protests need to be materially disruptive. Think about what ICE needs to do its job, and interfere with whatever you can. And remember that people are going to have to get arrested to change things.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Curtis Yarvin is fantasizing about fleeing the country because “Stephen Miller and his ilk” aren’t going far enough, fast enough and are only trying to “look tough”:

It appears that the federal agents occupying Portland have people embedded with them charged with the task of producing stories presenting the government’s version of events. Ironically, this was the sort of work JD Vance did in Iraq before he decided he was against that war.

Notice how this propagandist uses “terrorism” language to push hateful plot.
