If this reminds you of an extremely famous book you might have read in high school… yes.

Hamilton had so much faith in Americans come on guys don't let him down "whither would the militia, irritated by being called up on to undertake a distance and hopeless expedition...direct their course but to the seat of the tyrants"

via @youranonnews.bsky.social CHICAGO: Trump's lawless goons (ICE) make a U-turn and smash into a woman's car, then proceed to arrest her by dragging her out of the vehicle.

The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday. Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China

I made a horrible decision last night and told chat that I’d do a 24-hr livestream if we raise $100k with these streams by the 19th. So if that’s an incentive to tune in… there you go.

We’re about to enter our LAST WEEK of our livestream fundraising experiment. I wanted to prove that campaign fundraising can be fun and transparent instead of being reliant on rich people. ICYMI, here’s how it’s been going:

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

fucking WOOF

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

"A Chicago Heights Catholic priest began a 50-day pilgrimage in support of immigrant children, from Pope Leo’s boyhood home in Dolton, IL to New York ... 'This is not only a physical act of endurance, but a spiritual act of solidarity, a prayer in motion'..." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/06/c...

I talked to a guy once that knew a guy that was cousins with a woman that used to eat broccoli and then she got cancer and died. I'm disgusted. Big Broccoli needs to be brought down. We need to end the deep state broccoli takeover before we lose our country to these radicals.

Did you know that 100% of people that eat carrots will die? Stop eating carrots!!!

I am so tired of this braying plaguedonkey being in charge of public health. Everyone who voted to confirm him has blood on their hands.

If this stuff would end up on the news it would absolutely motivate voters. Plenty of people who don't give a shit about politics would absolutely give af about this.

“.. the first time a Republican governor has questioned the interstate deployment of National Guard troops over a governor’s objections.” @nytimes.com #OKgov www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/u...

If you come for my people, you come through me.

Fail

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This is a real tweet by the Florida AG.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked. The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

I am so tired of our media letting weaselly little shits like Mike Johnson slide on these evasions. Why *aren’t* you aware of blatant violations of the Constitution, Mike?! What makes you at all capable of holding this job?? Why should anyone believe a word coming out of your shitty little mouth??

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison? MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

Adam Rubenstein when asked about the Chick-fil-A sandwich story

4'10"? That's it. Calling Stephen Miller "Peewee Vermin" from now on.

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends tech weirdo: and shitheads np: no just my friends tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender? np: we just want to hang out and goof around tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then np: no shitheads tw: not following

The most dangerous thing Trump is doing now is giving highly partisan political speeches to active duty military - repeatedly trashing Democrats. I can’t recall either him, Leavitt, or Reps ever being asked about the fact that it violates a foundational principle of our Republic.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

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.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

wait it's possible to move from pilot studies to permanent implementation of basic income? please tell everyone except Andrew Yang about this

Irony just took its shoes off and slowly started walking into the ocean until it was never seen or heard from again…

Not a tea drinker I take it

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Trump’s stupid tariffs killed the top market for U.S. soybean farmers (China). So he’s going to subsidize them. Meanwhile, his Argentina bailout subsidizes soybean farmers there who, thanks to his tariffs cutting out U.S. farmers, are now selling in China. And that, friends, is the Art of the Deal!

If the news I'm reading or watching doesn't reflect reality, it's no longer the news I'm reading or watching.
