Judge McConnell to DOJ's Tyler Becker: "In fact, nothing was done consistent with the court's order to clear the way to expeditiously resolve it."

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

Thus is the view out of my home office window. I just can't stop staring out at the beauty and really need to get back to work.

It's absolutely true that defeating fascism requires a very big tent. And for that tent to stand, it has to have a pole -a backbone. Otherwise it's a tarp that merely smothers you. We come together around widely held values and against this regime of the bullies, for the billionaires.

“Three men in black vests entered a NY restaurant claiming to be ICE agents. Inside, they tied a worker’s hands and pulled a garbage bag over the person’s head. Another, believing the burglars’ story, surrendered themselves, only to be kicked to the ground and tied up as the intruders robbed an ATM”

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

Holy gobs, ‘Murica💀

The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple video exhibits showing federal officers using extreme force against nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration & Customs Building. This is part of its effort to block the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland.

The Oregon Department of Justice, seeking to block the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, submitted as evidence in this week’s federal trial multiple videos of federal officers using force against nonviolent protesters.

Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia have reaffirmed their commitment to coordinated action by signing a new pact to advance housing, clean energy, and innovation together. Cascadians continue building the institutions of shared governance that our future demands. #cascadia #localgovernance

My latest mosaic. It's based in a picture I took in Maui a few years back. It still needs to be grouted. Stained glass on glass.

The one moment Washington insiders fear more than a coup, an indictment, or a shutdown...and why no one will talk about it publicly.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

This needs to be shared far and wide. Reps and Senators need to be raising this to tbe next level of code red. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Show him South Korea❗

Thanks, as always @philinvestigates.com, for your essential work.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her. She spoke out and was kicked out of the country. It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

"Life has three rules: Paradox, Humor, and Change. - Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste your time trying to figure it out. - Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure - Change: Know that nothing ever stays the same." Dan Millman

This is hilarious

The face eating leopards are feasting

"A majority of western Alaska’s weather balloon network was not operating during the landfall of the storm last weekend due to staffing constraints inflicted by the Trump administration..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

Donald Trump’s America where simply having brown skin means you’re going to be terrorized by ICE thugs, with NO warrant, while running daily errands. Reminder: IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY! Trump and his vile ilk have got to go.

The manager of the Chicago Laugh Factory, a US citizen, is arrested outside of the studio by Trump's secret police. The offense? Telling jokes about ICE that they don't like. This is what fascism looks like. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

So I canceled my Disney subscription back during the Kimmel thing. I have a screenshot to prove it. I just checked, and they never actually canceled my subscription or they reinstated it without my permission.

more details on the FBI investigation into NBA gambling and game fixing operation: 31 ppl involved, including Billups, Rozier, and Damon Jones, across 11 states and multiple years. oh they’re going to jail jail

An accountability commission to lay the foundations for prosecution of Trump's secret police and those who control them.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

If you’ve heard the term “en banc” recently and wondered what it means – we’ve got you!

NOTE: This was an en banc request as to the "stay pending appeal" in the CA case that was denied, not the merits case. The merits appeal was heard today — www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Yq... — and, if the panel sides with DOJ on the merits, another en banc review could be sought at that time.

ok who did this? ☹️

Aaaaannndddd he's still going.

Jeff Merkley is still on the Senate floor, standing up to say clearly: the authoritarian crisis isn’t coming, it’s here. In this clip, Merkley breaks down Trump’s ploy to send troops to Portland to provoke violence and chaos while he consolidates more power. Portland isn’t taking the bait.

@jeff-merkley.bsky.social still holding the floor!

I’m holding the floor to say HELL NO to Trump’s attacks on our Constitution and our communities. www.youtube.com/live/H1VL5Po...

Hey we're getting started in about 20 min with the official No Kings 2 follow up call to talk next steps. I believe this might be the largest coalition call we've ever done? See ya there.

JUST IN: Oregon and California AGs urge Judge Immergut in Portland to* wait on a pending en banc vote at 9th Circuit before ruling on DOJ's request to lift a TRO blocking deployment of CA, OR & other guard in Portland. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... (edited to correct)

Block list for any normal people on here that don't have to cover these demons:

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Portland friends, training today!

Register for and join the call tomorrow. 5pm Pacific Time. Register here: www.nokings.org

BREAKING: A Ninth Circuit judge has sua sponte — on their own — already called for a vote on whether there should be an en banc rehearing (which means all active judges will vote on whether the matter should be reheard). Briefing is called for on that question, due by mid-week.
