Read this. Then read it again.

President Donald Trump said he was ordering a “total and complete blockade” of sanctioned oil tankers coming to and leaving from Venezuela, announcing the move in a Truth Social post that escalated his rhetoric against Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro’s regime. https://cnn.it/48YOFss

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

FLORIDA — Woman in scrubs: “I’m a U.S. citizen! Why are you doing this to me??”

“Look at these scumbags — in the car with guns with a baby in the back.” What are we doing?

FBI: "We didn't zip tie children." REPORTER: "Here's a photo of a zip tied 14 year old." FBI" "OK, we didn't zip tie YOUNG children."

Replacing a Navy Admiral with a DOGE-er with no military experience?!? Hegseth keeps demonstrating his stupidity and paranoia.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Please watch. Please share. Trump's masked thugs attacked a blind protestor in South Portland last weekend and dragged him away like an animal. The man is 4'6" and legally blind. A US citizen. "They picked the weakest person they could find," he told The Oregonian/OregonLive.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Here we go again--the Supreme Court taking away hard fought rights of the American people.🤬

See the difference? 👀 #NoKings

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

Some of my favorite protest signs from today's No Kings demonstration

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

They're all taught by their hate-filled parents and now reinforced by a society that let's them say these things out loud.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Hahaha. He's bitter he didn't win. Loser!

Arresting whoever they want, including journalists, with their lies of "obstruction".

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE “Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

"Sinister, Malevolent, Venomous: Stephen Miller Is Like No Other White House Aide in Modern US History" Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, has never hidden his disfigured & dangerous psyche. But now Trump has empowered him to execute his fascist impulses, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Because we should be relying on the Supreme Court Justices for their medical expertise instead of the actual medical experts.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

The cruelty and inhumane treatment of those who do not conform with their image continues.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Someone stole the Pride decal (same as my profile pic) off of my car. Looks like I will have to get more to replace it. Until then, I am flying my Pride flag high and mighty in front of my house.

For those of you who are hopeful our highest military leaders will stand up to King Frump, don't bet your house on it.

Chevron refinery in El Segundo. This is the view from our roof.

If Hegseth wants to be called a SOW, I am happy to oblige.

Our cities are not training grounds for the military, and they should never be.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Looks like Trump and his goons got outplayed by China again.

Not even trying to hide that they are going to rig the next elections.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Following Nazi footsteps and asking them to pledge their loyalty to the "warrior ethos"? 🤔

Trump and his sycophants don't care about court orders.

Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

👏👏👏to the person/people who put up the statue

Yeah, he "voluntarily" got off the train with the assistance of police officers who handcuffed him. 🙄 Apparently, it's illegal now to sit wrong if you are Black. This is what making America great again looks like.

Right. Because I'm sure they all do it all the time.

Trans individuals have rights, and I will never stop defending them. Come get me.
