More than a decade ago Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s deputies carried out immigration raids. Now hundreds of departments are partnering with ICE. AZ Latinos see Arpaio as the beginning of what playing out nationally. “They did the experiment, and basically now they’re implementing it at the national level.”

Trump: "We have Darth Vader. You know Darth Vader, right? Darth Vader is a man who is sitting -- is that Darth? Stand up please. Does everybody know -- they call him Darth Vader, I call him a fine man. But he's cutting Democrat priorities and they're never gonna get them back."

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

When Trump pardoned Jan. 6 rioters, he let a whole lot of criminals back out onto American streets. Quite a few of them got arrested again — including one who threatened to assassinate Hakeem Jeffries. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Hard truth: The US is a fascist country and won’t improve for decades. If you can leave, you should.

The Portland police also target people with disabilities so it's not a surprise that the feds do it. During the 2020 protests against police brutality, the Portland police would rush the crowd and hit and shove whomever was the slowest, often people with disabilities. It makes them feel strong.

Please God, someone, anyone ask him to list the EIGHT WARS. Inquiring minds want to know.

why the hell are they confirming trump's judges when trump's speaker of the house won't swear in Grijalva?

The “No Kings” is just more neoliberalism. Scratch that surface and you’ll find a liberal that just wants to “go back to normal”. That normal is some squishy capitalist “middle” that helped lead us here. There’s no policy ideas behind these parades.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

Businesses choose what jobs they take. ACECO chose to take this one. They can choose not to. 2/ archive.is/y7ng8

No mention at all of the fact that Trump doesn't have the legal authority to do this, that plans haven't even been reviewed (because the office is closed for the government shutdown), that the size and cost estimates keep changing, etc., etc.

Trump is deliberately killing civilians in his "war on drugs" — and getting away with it. Now, with DHS claiming "Antifa" is collaborating with cartels, it's not impossible to imagine that war coming home. I asked experts what that could look like and how to resist. www.salon.com/2025/10/16/f...

AWS incident is why decentralization is more important than ever. Too much power. Too much concentration risk for humanity. Decentralize everything. Everything everything. Everything.

“Hard won”. They didn’t win shit, Netanyahu is a genocidal scumbag and Trump got played.

The Imperial Propaganda Machine Is Failing In Unprecedented Ways They’re on the back foot. This has never happened before. We’ve got a real shot at winning this thing. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-imperi...

A female fascist has won.

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

Misleading headline: Trump was sued and caved. He now says he will follow the law instead of implementing his plan to screw teachers out of their loan forgiveness.

It looks even worse by video 😢

A building isn’t as important as the people his administration has murdered but there’s something breathtaking about seeing them literally demolish parts of the White House. I can’t stop looking at it

Once you realize the NYT is trying to help him you can’t stop seeing it

“I saw a handicapped woman on the ground who physically couldn’t get up, and they shot her repeatedly with pepper balls to the point that, by the time we could get her back to a safe place, we had to call an ambulance for her.”

There also used to be a lifetime limit on insurance. So your policy could literally say 'We will only cover a life time limit of $200k and then you're cancelled and we will not insure you'. Obamacare eliminated that.

See: Keira Knightley’s response to an interviewer asking about calls to boycott Harry Potter over J.K. Rowling’s attacks on trans people. Knightley is clearly annoyed (inconvenienced) and defaults back to the “we’re going to have to live together” response when Rowling makes that impossible

SHUCKS, I'D HATE TO EMBARRASS ABBOTT A lawyer representing Musk’s rocket company SpaceX, arguing the emails should be kept secret. He cited one main reason: They contain “commercial information whose disclosure would cause SpaceX substantial competitive harm.” www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Nature is so amazing.....Juvenile peregrine falcons surprised by a butterfly.😎💙😎

🧵3 days ago, on Friday, the FBI officially abandoned white nationalism as its top domestic terror concern. Long-standing partnerships with the Southern Poverty Law Center & Anti-Defamation League over. Finished. Kaput. Plus...

She’s a hardline conservative which means she is very much a part of the patriarchy. Once again, neoliberals celebrate a very shallow idea of “diversity”.

Noem is now under Congressional investigation. Rep Garcia and Senator Blumenthal are demanding records from her for detaining 170 US citizens without warrants, charges, or lawyers.

Kristi Noem is a domestic terrorist who should be under active criminal investigation and be removed from her roles 🇺🇸

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

The SCOTUS case that overturned the anti-sodomy laws in the US and paved the way for Prop 8, Lawrence V. Texas, was fought and won by LGBTQ attorneys and activists from Houston. The whole case came together at Pacific Street, a gay bar, in the Montrose neighborhood where this crosswalk was. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️

The @nytimes.com decided last year what the story was; Trump II was the righteous punishment visited upon their interns and junior staffers and grandchildren for being so annoying about MeToo and BLM, and once they understood that and repented, they could have democracy back.

"the speaker of the House is refusing to seat a duly elected member of Congress to protect the president from a vote to investigate his extensive connections the world's most notorious human trafficking pedophile" is one of those things you simply cannot put into New York Timesese

Womp womp

The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing

Translation: if Dems don’t cave this week, Donald Trump and Republicans are going to turn up the pain level on the American people. 📌 “The Schumer shutdown is likely to end sometime this week… if it doesn’t… the White House…will have to look at stronger measures…to bring them to the table.”

The lying and the fascism are starting to show.

BREAKING: TMZ reports that U.S. President Donald Trump is considering commuting Sean "Diddy" Combs sentence as early as this week.

There's plenty of things that She Hit Refresh founder Cepee Tabibian came to love about the U.S. before leaving for Spain. But there are quite a few things she doesn't miss.

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

Today's AWS outage, which affected a range of websites and applications—from Signal to Fortnite to key UK government services—reveals the dangers of relying on a handful of Big Tech firms, write Article 19's Corinne Cath and Don Le. These are not glitches; they are democratic failures, they say.

I’m always surprised we don’t talk more about AWS as a single point of failure — and hence of vulnerability to censorship pressure.

The “No Kings” marches are fun and necessary, but so far have proven to be ineffective. We don’t have 3 years to end this.

"Trump is a narcissist. He’s interested in God only as an endorser, benefactor, or tool in his own career." Maybe we can use his poor theology to our advantage:
