TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

NEW — So, there are multiple things happening today in Chicago. • Pritzker says Trump intends to send 300 troops here in the coming hours • Protestors are going off in Brighton Park, where federal agents shot a woman. thetriibe.com/2025/10/trum...

And Ted's real name is Rafael.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

This emotional speech is a reminder to our elected officials like Gabe Evan's that their actions have real consequences on real people. On their constituents that they swore an oath to protect.

"Democrats must not abandon the Constitution by passing either a “continuing resolution” or a 2026 budget that fails to address Trump’s ongoing illegal impoundment of funds." #HoldTheLine @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

This isn’t a shutdown — it’s a showdown. Billionaires get permanent tax breaks, we get locked out of healthcare, housing & veterans' care. Federal workers aren't backing down. We took an oath to the American people & our communities — not billionaires. www.federalunionists.net/press/statem...

Not a hard choice on which side to support: protect healthcare and working people or side with mass permanent layoffs.

🔥PLEASE REPOST🔥"The ONLY reason the system hasn’t already collapsed is mission-driven staffers who remain DO the work of 5 people.

We are not going to heal this country without public trials of these sociopaths, and of the sociopaths who hired and directed them.

I wish I were there with them....

This is a declaration of war against United States citizens

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

The Michigan Supreme Court will hear Tribal Nations’ challenge to Enbridge’s proposed Line 5 tunnel beneath the Straits of Mackinac. Bay Mills Indian Community and allies argue the project threatens treaty rights, clean water, and the Great Lakes. Read: buff.ly/bSI9aGh

Do you have five bucks to help my friends at Merrymac? Lots of people chipping in modest amounts = big results! ❤️

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk. He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.

🔥PLEASE REPOST🔥 🚨If ACA tax credits are NOT extended, premium payments will increase by more than 100% for many of the 24M Americans who buy their own coverage & it's on top of rising food & housing costs among other inflationary pressures that are adding major STRESS.🚨 www.kff.org/from-drew-al...

There’s a reason it’s usually referred to as the Wounded Knee Massacre – American soldiers mercilessly killed unarmed Lakota men, women, children and elders. There was no honor in what happened that day. This is a stain on our history.

This is the only "complete" crinoid in my collection, from holdfast to crown. It's easy to see why they are sometimes called sea lilies, even though they are animals related to starfish and sand dollars. This is Abatocrinus gallatinensis from the Mississippian Lodgepole Fm of MT. #FossilFriday

During my town hall, someone asked me what they could do to stand up to authoritarianism. Despite what the cynics say, you have power. All it takes is one person speaking up for somebody else. It is small acts that can change the course of this country.

Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose. Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today. Speak to your medical provider.

Research shows certain types of berry bushes and shrubs provide better nutrition for birds. And there is still time to plant some bushes before the birds ride out the Vermont winter or head south.

Extremists have a plan: ✏️Starve public schools of resources, then criticize their shortcomings ✏️Erode trust in public schools ✏️Replace public schools with homeschooling & private, religious and online schools More: www.aft.org/column/why-f... @AFTUnion

Saturday is for replacing your car door.

Sweet Shiloh is running free after crossing the rainbow 🌈 bridge yesterday. She was truly my friend 🧡 I will miss her for the rest of my days. #DogsAreFamily

As a Wisconsinite, I can’t ignore the echoes of Joe McCarthy. The government should never be used to silence people or cost them their jobs. That’s exactly why we have the First Amendment!

Pete Buttigieg WARNS America: “They didn't stop at the law firms. They didn't stop at the Universities. They didn't even stop at the comedians. They are NOT going to stop until they have TOTAL POWER!."

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

This is what all our *currently* elected officials should be doing, and not nearly enough are. We need people who are willing to stand up against fascism, not weak-willed appeasers. Good on you, @katmabu.bsky.social

A gathering in Richfield brought people from across the state to celebrate elders and their contributions to Native communities and Minnesota.

Truth bomb‼️ This man should be the one speaking on college campuses… “They’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.” Watch

In 2022 the Republican candidate for Michigan District 38 State Senate out fundraised the Democrat candidate 6:1 Please help me flip that ratio. I’m going to do all I can to flip the UP blue in 2026. If the UP goes blue, so does the state. Let’s GO! secure.actblue.com/donate/kvgfo...

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Ashli Babbitt was a traitor. She was a traitor to this country. She was part of a violent mob that tried to overthrow our democracy...She didn't die protecting our country. She died trying to turn it down...She wasn't a martyr. She was and is a traitor."

This morning, Trump posted AI fan fiction of Chicago as a "war zone," adopting the chilling language of authoritarianism. He openly admits sending the National Guard is for ICE deportations, not to combat crime, effectively declaring war on an American city. This is not normal.

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

Washington DC - the bells of this church are ringing in support of the protest! 😁

With music - easy like Saturday morning farm rush hour with our forever friends enjoying the freedom of our charity farm, living in harmony
