This happened in Northern California. Silvia Reyna Mendoza was deported after reporting years of harassment by an ICE contractor. KCRA aired about story her harassment on Thursday night last week. She was deported on Friday morning. This story ⤵️ aired on Monday, the 27th.

More video of the tank on Lafayette a short while ago outside 26 Federal Plaza, and federal agents making arrests of counter protesters.

Important to note that it's New York STATE that brought charges against the J6er that threatened Hakeem Jeffries. Not the DOJ.

NEW: Chaos erupted in Lower Manhattan Tuesday afternoon as dozens of masked federal agents targeting street vendors on Canal Street were met with droves of spontaneous counter- protesters. www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/21/i...

Republican opposition to political violence still going strong on regime outlets bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Acting Archivist Marco Rubio and Jim Byron—the unqualified, sycophantic MAGA toady The Donald installed to run NARA day to day—have *compulsory* duties under 44 USC § 3106(b) to request the AG take action, and notify Congress of the request. Both are utter disgraces, and neither will do their duty.

If it feels overwhelming to choose individuals to help in Gaza while not being able to help others, I am a regular donor to the Sameer Project and really vouch for the on the ground mutual aid work they have been doing.

BREAKING: Massive ICE raid ongoing at a farm in Camarillo, Ventura County, CA. Local news reports that an unknown number of workers have been detained. Almost 20% of US strawberries come from the county. US food supply at risk from Trump’s fascist thugs & Stephen Miller’s quota.

In at least one case, Grok praised Adolf Hitler.

Meanwhile... pushback against AI and its negative impacts grows stronger.

Cannot believe I have to say this: IF YOU ARE ORGANIZING ON THE GROUND OR WORKING ON ANY SENSITIVE MATERIALS DO NOT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE CHATGPT. EVER.

A disgrace.

Domestic violence is violence. As in, assault and battery. In one’s home. On a regular basis. Not sure why this is so hard for some people in academia to understand.

It is a time for collective herds and guardians to ward off predators

Happy pride✨

5 years after the brutal murder of George Floyd police kill more people each year than ever before, even as violent crime has dropped. Police brutality must be included in our democracy discussions.

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today. The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.
