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. https://youtu.be/5zrye_p-EPI?si=VinP3uxFa9_JiN8X

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

Kristi Noem is mad they wouldn’t let her in to use the restroom in Illinois today.

Jarrod Bleijie boldly declared in June that there wouldn't be any CFMEU workers on the Crisafulli Colosseum. In today's ABC interview he's backed down on that for Games construction. As legal experts pointed out when Peter Dutton made a similar pledge it's likely illegal. #qldpol

BREAKING: The Late Show With Stephen Colbert portrays JD Vance. “We heard that JD Vance loves a good-natured, funny meme, so we made one just for him!” I'm choosing to believe this is actual footage and not 'AI'

We must "—retrace our steps back to the Nakba, mass expulsions, the massacres, land seizures, racial laws, ideology of inherent supremacy that normalised contempt for the native people of this land—theft of their lives, property, dignity, futures of their children." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Tony Blair’s only role in the Middle East should be as a defendant, on trial for commencing the illegal and disastrous Iraq war that destroyed millions of lives.
