It is interesting no one has any footage of the mayhem that’s engulfed Portland

🏆 How does a comedy show have the best news research team? @thedailyshow.com

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

“Secretary Kennedy is entitled to his views. But he is not entitled to put people’s health at risk.” Six former surgeons general condemn RFK Jr.

In the last few weeks we’ve watched ICE: Pepper spray the Portland frog Tear gas members of Chicago PD Zip tie children Grab Chicagoans from their beds in dead of the night Open fire on a civilian in her car Yet they say immigrants are the threat. Protesters are the threat. We know better.

Asinine! sphspalmettoandpine.com/2950/news/st...

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

BREAKING: Bill Nye says Trump’s NASA budget cuts are “extinction-level.” The White House wants to slash science missions by up to 47% — gutting Earth monitoring, planetary research, even live missions to Mars. Nye warns: this will cripple U.S. space leadership. EU and China will take over.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Going back to that raid on the South Shore apartment building. It hasn't gotten much focus that the goons reportedly traveled the same way Patriot Front does: in UHauls. blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/30/a...

Don’t give an inch

Been seeing this a lot lately. MAGA folks calling judges Trump appointed “leftist” the moment they rule against him for unconstitutional orders. Funny how quickly “loyalty” turns into “betrayal” when the law doesn’t bend their way.

ICE is a terrorist organisation funded by the US government and deployed against its own people The time to rise and resist is now

Update on Boomertifa from the war zone.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police. Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

Today would be a great day to call your reps in Congress (you have 2 senators and 1 rep) and tell them to stand strong, don't cave! 202.224.3121 is the congressional switchboard. You don't even need to know their name. Now, get on it!

This is what they are all about.

WIC serves 53% of all infants born in the United States. This is literally taking food from babies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIC_pro...

Nearly seven million pregnant women and young children depend on WIC for healthy foods. Advocates say funding could run out in about two weeks, leaving states to close the gap if their budgets allow.

Or taking away pre-natal, post-natal, and pediatric health care, WIC, Medicaid supports for children with disabilities, etc...

While over 750,000 federal workers go unpaid, moms & kids lose WIC, and millions fear losing healthcare, Trump is golfing on our tax dollars. The predator who shut down the government for power now plays while Americans suffer. #TrumpsHealthcareShutdown

WIC runs out this week

A mass shooting in Alabama, but no, send troops to Portland. A democratic judge and senator's house gets burned down, but no, it's the left that's violent. Sickening.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Let’s talk about the people in Mike Johnson's district who'll have to pay $16,000 more a year for health care if he gets his way. Just so the richest people on earth can get tax breaks.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

BREAKING: Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from deploying any National Guard troops in Oregon.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Congratulations to the United States for making the Human Rights Watch list for the 1st time in 249 years under the leadership of Donald Trump, just in time for his administration to mark the occasion by proposing to break federal law and slap his face on a 250th anniversary coin

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

PSA for folks visiting any National Public lands (parks, forests etc) during the shutdown: PLEASE take everything you brought in with you, including trash! Don't leave it in the bins if you can avoid it - those are emptied by National Parks/Forest workers. If they're furloughed that job isn't done.

The battle against democracy is full time. It’s the maximum use of govt power to wage it. It’s big dollars. The battle to save democracy is not nearly at the same scale. Too often, power that could be used to protect democracy is left unused. We have to scale it up!
