Just an FYI: We’re not facing a “government shutdown.” This is a Trump-MAGA Republican shutdown. Call it what it is.

Stop grading Republicans on a curve. There are no Republican heroes in the fight for democracy. Staying grounded in the truth is essential — our democracy depends on it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDs3...

Stephen Miller Aide Reportedly Caught Texting About Military Deployments While ‘In a Crowded, Public Space’

MASSIVE BREAKING: Federal judge has just issued a RESTRAINING ORDER blocking Trump's USE OF THE National Guard in Portland! Keep fighting back against the snowflakes!!

The mask just slipped. Trump’s team got caught plotting to send the 82nd Airborne into Portland….an American city. Not rumor. Not “fake news.” Fact. This is what authoritarians do…when fear replaces law. (Guardian)

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids. DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members. Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.

WHOA: DHS says that their officers were “rammed and blocked in” in Chicago and got out of their cars and shot an U.S. citizen who reportedly also had a gun and who had been tracking ICE raids. They are blaming the shooting on her, and say they were already tracking her socials. More details to come.

Does anyone else wonder why so many of Trump’s advisors and friends turn out to be pedophiles? 🤨

This is what the inside of the train looks like that was attacked today by a terrorist state in Shostka. During the filming, there was another Russian drone over the station. 📹 Radio Liberty

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Texas megachurch founder and wealthy MAGA donor Robert Morris has pleaded guilty to child sex crime charges. Not surprising, birds of a feather.

⚡️G7+ group holds emergency meeting in response to Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. "The Russians have not abandoned their intentions to plunge Ukraine into darkness on the eve of the new heating season," Deputy Energy Minister Roman Andarak said.

A federal workers' union has filed a lawsuit against the Trump admin for altering Department of Education employees' out-of-office email messages to include partisan language about a government shutdown without their consent.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

A federal agent shot a woman in Chicago this morning, claiming she’d “boxed in” authorities. But in a city where force becomes the first option, whose rights are we really protecting? This is exactly what Trump wanted: chaos.

According to least 2 other members of the flotilla who were detained by Israeli forces & released Saturday. “They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her & forced her to kiss the Israeli flag,” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Greta Thungberg tells Swedish officials that she was subjected to harsh treatment while detained in Israel, including deprived of sufficient food & water, kept in an infested cell and forced to hold flags www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal. This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat. Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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. Watch: https://youtu.be/5zrye_p-EPI

Again, this is what the SCOTUS has sanctioned. On Sept. 10th @chrislhayes.bsky.social and I talked about Justice Kavanaugh’s opinion white-washing ICE raids in Noem v. Vazquez Perdomo. His fact-free opinion was either naive, lazy, or sinister. The Trump Admin read it as a green light.

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.

From Park Hill to the Wu-Wall, the creativity and resilience of Shaolin Island built a movement that changed culture. I felt that same spirit today with local artists, faith leaders, Liberian entrepreneurs, and the legendary Chef Shaw-Nae Dixon + Mitchell “Divine” Diggs.

"This is one-sided violence, one-sided escalation – that began with masked secret police coming into our community and disappearing our neighbors." Kat Abughazaleh

Kavanaugh said citizens who are Latino have “no good basis” to think they’ll be racially profiled & “certainly no good basis” to think an unlawful stop is “imminent" Leo Venegas, a citizen who is Latino, was racially profiled & wrongfully detained 2x in 3 weeks ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/brett...

Exactly...

Trump and Noem are unlawfully stripping unaccompanied minors of their safety by offering and incentivizing the option to "self-deport." It's putting children at risk and it is unlawful. I am opening an investigation.

The Democrats need to empower messengers that the establishment is scared of, people who don’t delight megadonors. Democrats need to stake their claims on a set of strong beliefs, and see if Americans will follow. They need to stop being lawyerly and timid.

As Hegseth brags about blowing up yet another boat in international waters they claim was drug related and somehow justified, once Republican congressman @justinamash calls it a “violation of his oath” — and grok points out 0% of fentanyl Comes from Venezuela

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

⚡️ Ukraine brings back 22 children from Russian-occupied territories. "Today, all the rescued children are safe in Ukraine-controlled territory," Andriy Yermak, head of Ukraine's Presidential Office, said.

BREAKING: Federal judge BLOCKS a new ICE policy that went into effect last week to automatically detain unaccompanied migrant children on their 18th birthday when they “age out” of shelter care. The TRO enforces a court order in a case brought by @immcouncil.org and @immigrantjustice.bsky.social.

Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14. Say her name. www.cnn.com/2025/06/14/u...

An American President is intentionally hurting Americans to score cheap political points. This is not normal.

Trump doesn’t give a rat's ass about police officers.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans. ICE is terrorizing communities.

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people. To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

New cases of drone sightings across Europe and NATO territory: ‼️Hybrid warfare isn’t only about “unknown” drones,but also about anonymous calls&warnings,which are now taken extremely seriously. ◾️ Belgium: October 3:Around 15 drones were spotted over the Elsenborn military training area,a NATO base

A Russian woman who is not afraid to speak the truth says: “Of course, our great strategist Putin has many “achievements,” but the most outstanding ones, in my opinion, are the following. He replaced truth and reality with wild propaganda.
