President Trump's new national security memo aims to target activists and advocacy organizations that he perceives as political opponents. States and cities must protect sensitive data that could be used by the Trump administration to identify and go after these nonprofits and advocates.

Evil heartless going straight to hell

Centrist elites are convinced that those “woke excesses” must be reined in, that an order of reason and stability – led by "reasonable" people like themselves! – must be restored. And if that aligns them with the rightwing bloodhounds and the autocratic assault on pluralistic society? So be it.

The higher-ups across American mainstream media are desperate to ingratiate themselves with Trump *and* many of them have also been itching to go full anti-"woke" since at least the summer of 2020. The overall result is a pervasive rightward shift of the media and information landscape.

In the latest episode of Inform Your Resistance, @hialy.bsky.social and Claudia Espinel examine how we can use narrative strategy to fight against authoritarian leaders and the economic system that enables them: politicalresearch.org/2025/10/09/c....

Make a list of the most regressive, most impulsively reactionary, most aggressively backward-looking bullshit you can think of and be certain that the people who are controlling the US government are going for it. They will not rest until everything that smells vaguely "progressive" is erased.

It's not just Chicago, Portland, DC, LA and Memphis at risk— The writing is on the wall. Donald Trump is on mission to pit our heroes against the American people. And it could be your city, your safety and your rights next.

This is such an exciting project. I am so proud of this and hope readers is will give it a chance! #Readers 💙📚 #ShortStories 📚💙

Wouldn't it be nice if the military and the police were against fascism just once.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

Republicans shut down the government to protect billionaires and hurt your health care. President Trump’s response? Asking for $230 million for himself.

¡Chinga La Migra! Chicago street vendors are being targeted by ICE & Border Patrol agents. As a result, many are staying home and not able to work. Preorder and $8 per shirt will go towards the Street Vendors Association of Chicago who offer financial assistance to vendors who stay home.

Chicago-area companies that earned lucrative contracts supporting President Donald Trump’s deportation push also benefited from deals with the city, the Sun-Times found.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind their heads on a pike.

Pete Hegseth appears to have found a great workaround for racial integration at military events: When the rules won’t allow you to put up a “No Coloreds” sign, you can just ban soldiers with shaving waivers instead.

BREAKING: The U.S. says China has agreed to purchase 25 million metric tons of soybeans annually after the countries' leaders discussed trade measures.

We really should do a general strike on Black Friday. Demand healthcare No war with Venezuela! No troops in our streets! No unconstitutional tariffs! Fuck ICE! No more unconstitutional budget cuts! Trump, Miller, Noem, Vance and Johnson must resign! GENERAL STRIKE ON BLACK FRIDAY! UNITE!

I think the Dems will cave. Because most Dems are compassionate and don't want to see people go hungry. I wish it was a multi-party system.

If you live in Illinois and don’t have health insurance through your employer, you can see your new insurance premiums for 2026 at GetCovered.Illinois.gov. Sadly, out-of-pocket costs are going to increase an average of 80% next year because congressional Republicans refuse to work with Democrats.

Fuck ICE. Fuck the fascists. Night.💜🖤🌙

Crawling your way, it's almost #Halloween !!!!

Here’s a gift link to the piece I wrote for @zeit.de: A history of the Republican Party and a rightwing radicalization, unfolding over decades, that ultimately paved the way for Trump’s rise. www.zeit.de/kultur/2025-...

The First Amendment protects our right to joke — even if the federal government isn't laughing with us. In our latest installment of Press in Peril, we examine how the Trump administration's attempt to censor Jimmy Kimmel earlier this year threatens our right to freedom of expression.

And the media mostly just takes it as fact. Where are the media voices screaming that Ceasefire means ceasing to fire? I feel like I’m going crazy. We saw this last February too.

So Netanyahu bombs Gaza yesterday, kills 100 people, Now the ceasefire is back on? Is this how ceasefires work? I hate him.

I need to go on a vacation.

Tens of millions of people rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families. Our government must not let people go hungry.

BREAKING: We've now filed more than 100 lawsuits against the Trump administration to protect our civil liberties and keep the president's abuses of power in check. When they come after our rights and our communities, we fight back.

And the Nazis were mad at Hunter. It's a grift. Why aren't there hearings? Oh, yeah, Johnson has surrendered our power and betrayed the people and our Democracy.

Mamdani seems to be a new FDR (w/o the racism) and LBJ (w/o Vietnam) for NYC. Because the best future of the Dem party is its past. In my lifetime, I cannot figure out why the DNC has ran from this past and refuse the future. LBJ, as I have read, wanted Medicaid/Medicare expanded.

I am, without a doubt, anti-fascist. Mornin' 🖤💜☕️

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible. Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.
