Pritzker: “The Trump administration is following a playbook: Cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem that peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act.”

Is this the new vocal fry, which is irritating as hell? Ending a sentence with "Right?" A candidate for Seattle mayor used it frequently during a Q & A with local media as did a guest on MSNBC. Please don't, whether seeking affirmation or whatever. It's annoying and adds nothing to the conversation.

Gestapo posting about their work.

“We’ve only known this would happen for 113 years, let our kids figure it out!”

A federal judge just ruled that Donald Trump is trying "to deny Americans their birthright." Trump is a serial violator of the Constitution. But Congress CAN STOP HIM & save the republic. Call your elected officials early and often. Red states, blue states, it doesn't matter. Pressure bursts pipes.

Trump pulling every lever to expand military occupations of American cities. Gov. Gavin Newsom will take the administration back to court. 👇

His sense of entitlement is unreal. Contributes nothing, demands everything. Mass shooter energy right here👇🏽

They’ve turned everyone in Chicago into extras in Stephen Miller’s villainous, unconstitutional, authoritarian fantasy

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

"SUPREME COURT TACKLES TRUMP AGENDA" By extending his power?

As bad as this headline is, the details are worse. Russel Vought is trying to roll back SS for the elderly, the disabled, the widowed and orphaned and FURTHER cut food stamps. Make sure to read and share this gift link: wapo.st/4qa8yoq

The body slam seems to be the ICE preferred initial interaction.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition. A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

The Portland Navy is arriving

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby. "I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother. “I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

Breaking on MSNBC: An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey. This news was first reported by Reuters.

Food for thought.

I will never accept medical advice from Dr. U. Genics. Life is too short as it is.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

BREAKING: An FBI agent has been removed from duty after refusing to stage a public arrest of former Director James Comey following his federal indictment last month.

This is Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. She'll be the final vote to release the Epstein files—but the GOP won't call the House back into session to swear her in. If you live in a red district, call your rep and tell them: SWEAR IN @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social NOW—RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Here's a great video from Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew who is the first indigenous Premier dancing in his jingle dancer regalia for a every child matters gathering for Truth and reconciliation day 🧡 so powerful #EveryChildMatters

Portland, Oregon. The request by Occupy Democrats was to share this video far and wide. So l'm doing that. This escalation is illegal. We must exercise our right to peacefully protest the illegal actions of the govt. I look forward to the day of justice for all of these fuckers.

Who determines prescription drug costs? My dog takes prescription Itraconizole daily. The monthly costs: $358 at Walgreens $125 at Chewy That's a notable difference! I wish Chewy could fill MY prescriptions!

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

1. Yesterday Jared Kushner partnered with the Saudis on the $55 billion purchase of Electronic Arts AND attended the White House meeting between Bibi and Trump as a foreign policy advisor It's an insane conflict of interest

The hits just keep on coming. My Medicare prescription drug plan premium is going from $35.90 to $85.90 a month in January. And for what? A hassle every month when I try to refill an inexpensive anti-rejection drug that I've taken for 12 years? It feels like they're trying to kill me.

yup, a year ago...

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

The petty, vindictive felon is throwing a gigantic temper tantrum because he's a weak leader who relies on intimidation and threats to get his way. He's turning his humiliation into a vendetta against all of us who aren't gazillionaires. 🎁 article www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/u...
