Pardon my French, but this shit really pisses me off.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

Indiana Republicans reversed course and said they would vote on the new congressional map that President Trump has sought.

“If you’re quiet now, you would’ve been quiet in 1940.”

ESQUIRE: “ICE is hiring literally anybody, and it’s terrifying… people who flunk the exam, criminal records… yet they’re allowed to tear children from their beds at night.” www.esquire.com/news-politic...

The proposal would eliminate the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s longstanding “blanket rule,” which automatically grants protections to species listed as threatened.

A bill that would allow Ohio teenagers 14 and 15 years old to work till 9 p.m. throughout the year is heading to Gov. Mike DeWine’s desk, though federal law still stands in the way ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/11/13/o...

"Call the cops! He took my wallet and my keys!” SALEM, OR — Trump’s lawless ICE goons threaten U.S. citizen with AR-15, steal her car keys & wallet, leave her stranded in the middle of the road. (They then gave them to the police as though they found them🤔)

Today is the last day to write in; link in my bio. “DO WE VIEW LAND AS A COMMODITY OR AS A LIVING SYSTEM WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR?”

Tonight was a very bad night.

Are you fucking kidding- vote to cave NOW???

If the rumors are right, now's the time to call. If the rumors are wrong, well, you've just reminded them to hold the line. Call.

“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of her hands”

CHICAGO: “My uncle was on his way home from getting groceries on his bike — they grabbed him and choked him and punched him… he’s a kind hardworking man. They’re racially profiling people.” Trump’s ICE goons put an elderly man in the hospital and nearly choked him to death.

“Look at these scumbags — in the car with guns with a baby in the back.” What are we doing?

A clarification

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

Perfect — Trump is touting Walmart’s Thanksgiving basket being cheaper than last year… but it’s because there’s less stuff in it and what’s in it is different and cheaper🤦🏼 @Walmart complicit with Trump lying to Americans 🤝

Those Republicans speaking 'privately' about this are the WORST sort of moral cowards because they know this is utterly wrong and yet won't speak up where it can make a difference.

Mike Johnson is gaslighting @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social and her entire district. He is withholding what she has rightfully earned and blaming her for it — and denying her constituents the representation they deserve. It’s absolutely abusive behavior. open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...

And there it is... Announcement is made that the US House will be out of session again next week They haven't voted since mid-September

This is a turning point a shift toward biometric policing becoming a part of everyday American life. The same surveillance systems once confined to airports and borders are now appearing in neighborhoods, workplaces, and public demonstrations.

WATCH: “This viral chart about who uses SNAP is a complete lie 🤥 - 35% go to white people, the largest share… 90% are 🇺🇸-born citizens… 70% work full time, meaning it’s subsidizing corporations that don’t pay workers a living wage… 86% of SNAP households have children…”

So, Spotify and The Trade desk. An important 🧵

"Don't Stream Fascism." This is a regime of the bullies, for the billionaires blasting propagnda at us through all possible means. We must withhold our views & our coins from corporations that aid, abet & spread their hate: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify #cancelspotify

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf
