“.. It’s to the point now where .. I could lose everything ... Being a small business owner isn’t worth it when your country turns on you,” said Jared Hendricks, the CEO of Village Lighting, a small business selling Christmas products. @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/10/17/h...

Wow. New Economist poll finds only 34% of Americans say ICE's use of force has been justified, vs 51% who say it's been excessive. And they oppose agents wearing masks by 52-35. Yep, ICE is becoming a pariah agency, and that's gaining deep penetration in the culture:

preach!!!!

Don't threaten. Just fucking do it!!

Only the best.... oops worst people for Trump

JUST IN: Judge Mehta threatens contempt and bar sanctions for attorney Carolyn Stewart — who has repped numerous Jan. 6 defendants and pardon recipients — over filing a motion with “fabricated” citations to local rules and refusing to correct it.

Signed.

This movement is really popular with the Christian Nationalist side as those women that took their husbands name are now going to struggle proving their identity in order to cast a vote.

The "last chance" 2026 midterms are a year away, but the fascists are already disenfranchising as many nonwhites as possible. Trump already has them practicing urban show-of-force intimidation. ICE and NG are going to show up at polling places in 2026, "checking IDs." WARNING: THEY WILL.

Important points about masked agents here by Jim Zirin. Here is another. Trump’s use of agents as pawns in his war against Democrats puts them in danger and makes them less effective in their actual mission to protect the homeland. thehill.com/opinion/crim...

This administration doesn't think We The People have any rights.

Rep. Mike Rogers: "The group that manages our nuclear stockpile -- the carryover funding they've been using is about to run out. They will have to layoff 80% of their employees. These are not employees that you want to go home."

And magats cried so much about AMERICAN student loan bailout. All those who voted for the orange magat, didn't want to bail out our own people, but think nothing of sending it to foreign fascist countries. So much for 'Merica.

Trump says his $40B bailout for Argentina's failing libertarian economy is "not gonna make a big difference for our country." Really? Imagine if we invested those billions on healthcare and housing for Americans, instead of bailing out Trump's pals abroad.

In stark contrast to Comey and James Indictments, Bolton charges seem serious, at least on their face. Indictment alleges Bolton transmitted classified documents to book editors without authorization, and documents were then obtained by Iranian hackers. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Are We the Nazis Now? How do we meet this moment? by @joycewhitevance.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

You can't win when the facts of the case include: POTUS "has publicly stated that the layoffs will be ‘a lot’ & that they ‘will be Democrat oriented, because we figure, you know, they started this thing, so they should be Democrat-oriented.’” open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

All of this, in violation of the Constitution.

This reminds me of the civil rights era in Alabama, when federal judge Frank Johnson, in Montgomery, ordered Alabama troopers to protect marchers, after TV footage of police clashes with them. apnews.com/article/chic...

In a recent study, participants inside fMRI scanners played a game in which they could enrich themselves by deceiving others. The more people lied to other players, the more exaggerated their lies were likely to be the next time around.

well hard to argue...sad to say...YET....there are many (most?) enlightened who all will in time help to correct this horror....

THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY HAS A DUTY TO TAKE PRO-ACTIVE ACTION & STOP THE TARGETING OF THOSE WHOM POTUS WANTS REVENGE WHEN THERE’S NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT SUCH PROSECUTIONS, OR IRS AUDITS & HEARINGS Just as citizens can’t file frivolous lawsuits, POTUS & the DOJ he fully & wrongfully controls, cannot.
