Snipers are now in American cities. This is what Trump has unleased. Just remember that declaring a fake state of emergency to give extraodrinary powers to the President is exactly how the Nazis seized power. ICE Protests

Time for a nerdy timeline palate cleanser: 🧬 This year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine went to Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell & Shimon Sakaguchi for discoveries about regulatory T cells and the Foxp3 gene -- the immune system’s built-in “brakes.”

Within 24 hours of the Kirk shooting, top Trump officials and administration lawyers were drafting legal memos, writing blueprints for possible executive actions and prioritizing which liberal organizations and strongholds of the left needed targeting. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"Trump and the GOP’s strategy is clear: whether it’s gerrymandering in Texas or blocking duly elected Democratic members of Congress from taking their seats, if they can’t win, they use underhanded tactics to get the outcomes they want." Commentary ↓

“I voted for none of this." Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Today is the 17th day in a row that House Republicans have refused to come to work. Instead of preventing health care costs from skyrocketing, they’re preventing the Epstein files from being released.

Donald Trump & Jeffrey Epstein: Best Friends Forever. Release the files!

In the last 2 weeks MAGA aligned people have done 2 attempted mass shootings of a gay bar and pride center in Arizona and Texas, murdered 2 teenage girls for mocking Charlie Kirk, and torched a judge's home. Meanwhile, the government mobilized the military to go after the left.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe the Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

Just a fucking disgrace that any president would say this to active duty military. But I expect it from this asshole, who has never respected the apolitical military tradition we’ve had since Washington. No, what’s more disgraceful is the silence of Republican vets in Congress.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

The state's gambling regulators sound like they're ready to hand out a casino license that will give the Trump Organization another $115 million. gothamist.com/news/who-win...

Be prepared: The Trump administration says ICE will be at the Super Bowl. "I think people should not be coming to the Super Bowl unless they're law-abiding Americans who love this country," Kristi Noem told a podcaster.

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.

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes." - Anne Frank

Same judge. While Miller rails about judges.

All I ask is that you watch and listen for 2 mins. youtu.be/AxZDE8PBhFk

Getting time!

BREAKING: We just won in court — again. A federal judge BLOCKED Donald Trump’s unlawful attempt to DEPLOY 300 OF OUR NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO PORTLAND.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

A veteran protester, standing at the edge of the road, is shoved backward by a DHS GOON.

Trump’s regime is deploying unaccountable masked men into the hearts of our communities to spread fear. We must stand together against fascist ICE raids. Join an event near you for the biggest day of peaceful protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

They detained Nelson Mandela’s grandson as well. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

🚨

“Federal officers were flanked by videographers, toting professional equipment and wearing high-visibility vests. They filmed from behind the lines of officers, capturing the show of force. At least two drones swept over the scenes.”

ICE and other federal agents conducted a violent, middle-of-the-night raid on an apartment building in Chicago — just days after Trump said the military should go after “the enemy within.” He and his cronies are building a police state piece by piece. https://youtu.be/5zrye_p-EPI?si=VinP3uxFa9_JiN8X

This generational trauma ICE is inflicting will reverberate for longer than we realize, in ways we can only begin to imagine.

Yesterday, La Resistencia volunteers informed us that 43 people came off the plane to be detained at Northwest detention center in Tacoma. 40 People boarded the plane to be transferred and / or deported #AbolishICE #AbolishGEOGROUP #ChingaLaMigra #ShutdownNWDC #FreeThemALL

Boycott the Super Bowl. The player should boycott as well. A lot of NFL players are POC and should not attend this. They will be responsible for luring people into harms way.

OMFG!!!!!!!!

This is how ICE detains individuals without any warrants, even in the presence of a lawyer making requests.

"'They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van,' she said..." abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Living these contradictions makes it hard to trust one’s own perception of reality, but this is exactly what life is under occupation. It has been documented many, many times, in histories ranging from the ancient to the still-ongoing, all over the globe.

A thing I think it’s important for USians not in currently-occupied cities to grasp is that the normal and everyday goes on alongside the violent and unprecedented. In Chicago right now you can be forced off teargas-soaked streets in the morning and have a peaceful evening picnic on the lake.

One thing to bear in mind here is that the union that represents the wide majority of Chicago police earlier this year dedicated the cover and a good chunk of the inside of its magazine for members to praising Tom Homan and ICE.

"‘F***ing Dumbass’: Trump Officials Want Howard Lutnick Sidelined After Epstein Comments" Trump's commerce secretary called Epstein ‘the greatest blackmailer ever' & his colleagues are now super mad at him. Another scoop from Zeteo's newest reporter @swin24.bsky.social:

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

As @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social reported back in September, this is the largest delegalization campaign in modern US history. If you want to learn more about the people under TPS and how this move will affect them, read Dias' feature below:

The Supreme Court’s Republican appointees let the Trump administration end the legal status of 300,000 Venezuelan immigrants who were granted Temporary Protected Status, a type of humanitarian relief for people whose home countries are in crisis.

🚨😭

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

There is no rebellion in Oregon. Today's ruling is a healthy check on the President's power. As the President, you must have actual facts (based on reality), not social media, or just your gut feeling, if you want to mobilize the Military here in the United States. - Dan Rayfield, AG of Oregon

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary
