The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview. Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.

It’s a 3:3 knockout! People organizing to boycott and protest made it happen. We did. We can. And we will win freedom for all. @getfree-mvmt.bsky.social @wgaeast.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/m...

Thousands of activists marched in New York City Saturday to “Make Billionaires Pay,” calling for climate justice, democracy, free speech, gender equality, a stop to the Trump’s immigration crackdown and a ceasefire in Gaza. Flag with the image of Princess Leia reads "WE ARE THE RESISTANCE"

🚨 Happening now: Comedians take Times Square to protest Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension and demand ABC stand up for free speech.

We're entering the next stage of authoritarian consolidation of power: control of discourse and persecution of political enemies in pursuit of one-party rule. Things are escalating in a hurry. React accordingly. We've still got time to stop this and engage in collective action.

The want us to shut up- but now the time to speak up.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

If you've been stressed about fascism in the US (and who the hell isn't?), I literally cannot recommend more strongly getting OUT and going to REAL EVENTS like this with people in your community who are DOING SOMETHING. An absolute balm for the soul - and it's HOW WE WIN.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Alright, time for a week of fighting the worst people, and avoiding consuming their content as much as is possible. 🪶

Build mutual aid, dig the well. #GeneralStrike

Today, we are remembering David Graeber, who passed away five years ago. “Nothing could conceivably be more violent than to tell us—and particularly our young people—we are forbidden to even dream of a peaceful, caring, world.” crimethinc.com/ShockofVictory 🧵⬇️

The labor movement must organize and rise to defeat the authoritarian regime else things will surely continue to get worse. #LaborDay

Thousands of DC residents chanting “fuck Jeff Bezos” outside of the P Street Whole Foods

Maybe state governors who are opposed to masked federal agents kidnapping people in their states should activate the national guard to protect people from this actual violent crime spree?

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel. Now she's a member of HTC. Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

Terry Cole, head of the DEA and named by Attorney General Pam Bondi as Washington’s “emergency police commissioner,” is a member of a right-wing MAGA group on LinkedIn — the group's 17,000+ members regularly post conspiracy theories and call for the arrest of Donald Trump's political opponents.

Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.

Police have set up a checkpoint and appear to be stopping every single car on 14th st NW, between W+V, here in northwest DC. Some cars are being pulled over after being stopped. Some police are wearing “HSI police” vests (Homeland Security Investigations)

Civil rights groups are suing the Trump administration for detaining immigrants in a Manhattan federal courthouse for a week or more where they are deprived of beds, showers, sufficient food, hygiene products, and access to their attorneys. Meanwhile, ICE guards eat pizza in front of those detained.

Stay salty DC 🔥

The White House has undertaken initiatives to crack down on immigration, suppress speech, and curtail US public health efforts. These online tools are tracking the rapidly changing US landscape. Get details:

“We don’t have a king, we have a president. And the president doesn’t get to pick what’s on television, in movie theaters, on stage, on our bookshelves, or in the news.” www.theguardian.com/film/2025/au...

What’s next? Give every state an equal number of members in the Senate no matter how many people live in that state?

The surge in smashed windows may be only the beginning. Speaking about Trump’s signature spending bill, which triples the size of ICE, border czar Tom Homan told a conservative Christian conference: “You think we’re arresting people now? You wait.” By @nicolefoy.bsky.social & @mckenziefunk.com

Going to have to Update The Stephen King Book Collection.....

Yes and because nothing says I am a man of the people like being a ball room dancing enthusiast.

A hunger strike at a South Florida immigration detention center state officials have named “Alligator Alcatraz” enters its tenth day, as detainees protest what they call inhumane and dangerous living conditions.

Nice coverage from today's protest against Avelo Airlines. We're just getting started! www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/ne... #StopICEFlights

🚨 This woman tries to call the family of the man being disappeared and ICE will not allow her to get a phone number. One of the “undercover” mobsters nearly backed into her.

NEW: the Trump admin has moved to terminate TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua, covering over 50,000 people Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from people here legally who have had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 years.

In 80 seconds, AOC has completely dismantled the #BigUglyBill. Dems should turn this into a prime time campaign ad NOW. “This Bill is a deal with the devil”💥 @aoc.bsky.social
