“The air traffic system, in general, is stressed to the max,” a veteran air traffic controller working at a major East Coast airport told Forbes on Tuesday, adding “sick outs will continue to happen because the [controllers] aren’t fit for duty.” www.forbes.com/sites/suzann...

ICE Facility Illinois 😂 Robby Roadsteamer

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month. Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

Make America Great Again… GTF Out!

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Good night!

Fox News forced Stephen Miller to watch AOC call him 4’10”. AOC: "He looks like he's so mad he's 4’10” that he's taking that anger out on any other population possible."

The horror!

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

LOL 😂 👊🏻💙

Way to go, Chicago, more of this! Kristi Noem is upset that ICE agents in Chicago are being “denied entry” to restrooms and lunch spots.

The Trump admin is threatening not to pay furloughed federal workers -- except that would be illegal, and Trump himself signed the law requiring them to get back pay www.huffpost.com/entry/govern... w/ @delaneyrules.bsky.social

The entire country is walking on eggshells because a madman is hallucinating about crime sprees and burning cities.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

Both emergency dept and wastewater data suggest a rapid decline in prevalence after a relatively modest summer peak. The lull in evolution continues... with no new fast variants close behind XFG. That being said, we're still watching BA.3.2*

Excerpt from Anne Frank, Diary of a Young Girl: "Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes... Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared..." Sound familiar?

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Former FCC Chair Wheeler: An autocrat's favorite tool is a monopoly on telling the story. And if you can control the people who tell that story, then you've got an autocrat's greatest dream.

As Andy Warhol should have said: "In the future everyone will run Kent County Council for 15 minutes."

A frog just defeated ICE. Somewhere Pepe is crying.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable." President John F Kennedy

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. “I was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. “But they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon. There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified. This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

I love these artists they just don't give up this is in front of the department of labor! Where he has his big picture of his face on the side of the building! 💙💙👊🏻😂😂👏🏼👏🏼

I know I've posted this before and I'll inevitably post it again, but the world makes just a little more sense when you realize virtually every single person you meet is struggling through prolonged grief that they've never been given adequate tools or time to process

Thugs.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans. ICE is terrorizing communities.

The chief of Seattle’s new police alternative “CARE” says police officers are systemically waving off crisis responders in what staff call a “pattern of subversion” www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

For no reason at all, I would like to remind everyone that many violent, murderous regimes throughout world history have committed atrocities while carrying Crosses & Bibles.

This feels like a trap.

They want a Civil War.

Son randomly says to a relative yesterday, “you know what really annoys me sometimes, when people ask me if I’m wearing a mask because I’m sick, I’m like no, I’m wearing it cause I don’t want to get sick. It’s like asking me if I’m wearing a raincoat because I’m wet, like bruh.”

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

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

Earth’s energy imbalance has DOUBLED in two decades. The planet is hotter than it’s been in 125,000 years. By mid century our world is on track to be at its hottest in about 3 MILLION years. Our kids’ futures are burning before our eyes.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

What could be more American than the headline "Mother Buys Violent Son Ammunition and Tactical Gear to Shoot Up His Middle School in Exchange for Babysitting His Younger Siblings"? www.yahoo.com/news/mom-acc...

This is the convective storm outlook for today. Thunderstorms capable of isolated severe gusts and hail will be possible from late this afternoon into tonight from parts of the Intermountain West into the central and northern Rockies.
