The GOP is trying to con Americans into accepting a deal that will make their health care more expensive by fearmongering about health care for undocumented immigrants. Undocumented people aren’t eligible to enroll in Medicare and Medicaid. Don’t fall for their scam.

As predicted.

Do not stay home tomorrow. We must stand up.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill. And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants. Cashing in on cruelty.

They are, and the consequences are extremely dire, but that pales in comparison to the much bigger problem: we don't have a legitimate president of the United States right now. What we are to make of his enablers and supporters who have thereby also delegitimized themselves is a secondary problem.

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

Please, everyone needs to watch this. Border Patrol shot a woman in Chicago on Saturday and DHS is lying about how it came down. The woman was named in a CBP Intelligence bulletin just last week for doxxing agents online. A week later she is shot. #NationalGuard

🚨 TODAY IN TUCSON — RALLY TO END THE SHUTDOWN Monday, October 6th — 1:00PM El Presidio Plaza — 165 W Alameda St Organizer: AFGE Local 2391, PALF, Arizona AFL-CIO

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon. The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

So say it, Hegseth. President Truman desegregated the military in 1948. That would be when the “wokeness” began, huh? Say it.

absolutely breathtaking levels of “reframe punching up as punching down” are emerging in AI discourse. fighting back against AI is us against billion dollar tech companies, yet they are pulling out so many wild rhetorical tricks to make it seem like the anti-AI movement are the powerful bullies here

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

A few hundred people here in protest of the detention center now. A coalition of Jewish orgs have just arrived and are singing and praying outside the industrial park.

An SUV with Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino inside just rolled through. A number of faith groups are here this morning. Protesters are carrying a banner that reads, "God's love knows no border."

In Broadview, IL this morning outside Chicago— Federal agents have kidnapped hundreds of immigrants in recent weeks. Outside the ICE processing center here, protesters are gathered for another Friday morning demo. Last week's ended in tear gas and arrests. ICE vans periodically rolling in.

BREAKING: A federal judge kept a New Hampshire law blocked that banned diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in K-12 public schools and universities. Students have the right to an inclusive education — and we'll keep fighting this discriminatory law until it's stopped for good.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

This explains a lot. For a moment, I wondered why they'd do something as ridiculous as drop agents on the roof of the apartment building from helicopters, but of course, they did it for this footage. The same reason they were marching in formation downtown and snatched a family in Millennium Park.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising. Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record 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 this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The Oregon labor movement passed a number of historic and necessary resolutions at our convention. Among those, we unanimously passed a resolution supporting @ufw.bsky.social in a boycott of Windmill Farms mushrooms to support farmworkers in their organizing efforts.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

A reminder on this Labor Day: Slavery still exists in the form of incarcerated labor. It’s long overdue to end forced labor in prisons.

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Michigan AG Dana Nessel comes out swinging against University of Michigan for stopping care for trans youth.

This madness that the country has been thrown into by the draft dodging, racist, intellectually diminished and dangerous sociopath in the White, will not cease until the critical mass of white Americans get off the sidelines and realize that this is their fight.

What does every fascist dictator do before fully consolidating power after a coup? Militarizes the nation’s capital. Shout out to @jollygoodginger.bsky.social and all the honored veterans holding the line at Union Station. To the Guard: remember your oath is to the Constitution, not to one man.

True prophets call us to stand our ground together. "I've been on lists like this for years, particularly over the last five years," he says. "They don't want white people and others to actually read my work… so that they won't be transformed by it” (Ibram X. Kendi, www.npr.org/2025/08/24/n...).

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He hasn't done squat to help the working class. The Epstein scandal haunts him. He's a tyrant with his back against the wall, so he's lashing out with troops in DC and rigging elections in Texas. These are signs of weakness, not strength.

Gov. Newsom: These guys aren't screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It's all at stake.
