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."

U.S. Lawmakers Call on Israel to Release 16-Year-Old Palestinian American Held Months Without Trial

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

Hundreds of people protesting ICE in downtown manhattan right now. Reads and Broadway. NYPD cops in riot gear on scene.

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

ICYMI: ‘By addressing the issue in the Caribbean Sea which has nothing to do with fentanyl, the United States is demonstrating that what it wants is the oil of Venezuela and Guyana. Oil greed is behind the strategy of dropping missiles on fisherman.’ -Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

“The government is weaponizing immigration law to punish people for expressing disapproved opinions.”

Reminder that the US under both R and D administrations sent billions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia, including illegal cluster munitions, to kill Yemeni kids. And the US, under both R and D administrations, is still sending billions of dollars in weapons for the UAE to do genocide in Sudan

There is no ceasefire. It’s a PR stunt, just like the last one. Please don’t believe what the Zionist occupiers and their enablers tell you.

Medhi Hasan spoke up about Palestine at the No Kings rally in D.C. to many people who are not in the movement for Palestine. IIt’s so important for us to keep educating about US-Israeli genocide as the mainstream media continues to hide the truth.

The crowd did not disperse, an instead started playing Tubthumping by Chumbawamba — I get knocked down, but I get up again.

With alt text. Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

Saint Sinwar said it best.

there’s quite literally no purpose in continuing to pay taxes if they’re going to weaponize them against a majority of people paying them like this

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

🚨The new escalation of “normal” violence includes breaking into homes, ransacking/destroying property and THEN disappearing families. 🚨🚨We. Are. Occupied. 🚨🚨 1/2

1. WEAR A MASK. Yes, protests can spread viral infections. But widespread mask wearing serves two other important purposes. First, it makes it more accessible for disabled people to participate. Second, it makes it harder for individual people to be identified after the fact.

Sheryl's basic rules for protesting. (This isn't legal advice. The whole point is to NOT need me. Also, if you're a person who won't suffer any harm from going to a protest no matter what you do, congratulations! Most people aren't so privileged, and stop thinking you're the default.)

New: hackers just doxed hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ officials. I went through the data. In many cases does look legitimate, sometimes includes residential addresses. “Mexican Cartels hmu [hit me up] we dropping all the doxes wheres my 1m [1 million].” www.404media.co/hackers-dox-...

This is a Geo Group owned and operated prisoner transport vehicle. Geo Group is private corporation ICE. Geo Group has a bullpen of vehicles in Yakima, WA. There is not enough talk about Geo Group tortures people and commits violent crimes on ICE prisoners, yet no one talks about Geo Group.

"The genocide in Palestine is not an isolated event," warning that the "most reactionary" positions want to "violate the rights of everyone around the world." said Sergi Perelló, general secretary of the Intersindical trade union. www.catalannews.com/society-scie...

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Lot of people treated a genocide of a people, sponsored by their own country, as an annoying pet issue that needed to be shelved after the killing as complete or pushed aside for other political problems. And pretended that it was just too complicated to engage with.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

The “Oops, protein powder is full of lead” thing would explain so much.

At least 19 Palestinian doctors are still being held in Israeli detention without charge.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility. This is beyond cruel. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry. The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Land back! They need your support!!

Palestinians mourn their colleague Saleh Al-Jaafarawi, killed today by Israeli-backed gangs in Gaza City.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world. I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

After literal decades of jerking our chain, it should be plainly obvious to everyone that the Democratic Party has NO plan to competently address fascism other than to competently plan their stock portfolios around it and send fundraising emails that turn OUR crises into profit-making opportunities.
