Nuremberg 2.0 will come.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

FULL STORY: A Democratic candidate for Congress & a candidate for Cook County Board along with 4 other people were indicted Thursday on charges they “forcibly impeded, intimidated & interfered with” a federal agent while protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility, records show. @wttw.bsky.social

BREAKING: Six people, including congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, have been indicted on charges of "Assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees" and "Conspiracy to impede or injure officer," in connection w ICE protests at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

I’m still searching for words for this…

This is how we beat them back.

New Yorkers: we have to run it through the tape for Mamdani. Assume nothing until it’s all over. Vote, and get everyone you know to vote. We all know how things have gone in the last decade when folks got comfortable thinking we had it in the bag. It’s not over until it’s over.

Trump administration uses misleading videos to portray chaos, push deportations Official videos purporting to show the triumph of recent immigration operations used footage that was years old or recorded thousands of miles away, a Washington Post analysis found.

Wow 8% of America’s population of 340 million people protested. That would put No Kings march in the region of over 27 million. No wonder they were freaking out.

Amazon cutting 30,000 jobs. UPS cutting 34,000 jobs. SNAP benefits not being issued on November 1. We are quickly becoming Trump‘s ‘Let them eat cake’ economy!

Caitlin Tracey was found dead in a stairwell outside her husband Adam Beckerink’s apartment last fall in Chicago’s South Loop neighborhood. He was charged with first-degree murder Monday. trib.al/zBuvZFg

Also, note that the person making all these decisions is not Secretary Noem; it's Corey Lewandowski, who is still a "special government employee" (and by many reports sleeping with Noem and running the agency while she does mostly TV), as well as Gregory Bovino himself.

NBC has a story on this as well already, and they've got an indicative quote as to how things will go: "'The mentality is CBP does what they’re told, and the administration thinks ICE isn’t getting the job done,;' one of the DHS officials said. 'So CBP will do it." www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Government workers in line at food banks so their families don’t starve. That’s where we are while Trump gilds his stupid ballroom.

Over and over in the Gospels, Jesus made it clear: food is not something people need to prove themselves worthy of. This is not about humanity deserving to be fed but about the inhumanity of those withholding the meal... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/jesus-fed-...

It's done. After years of research and writing, AUTOCRATS VS DEMOCRATS is out today!

Kavanaugh will burn in hell

Give to your local food bank. Build mutual aid wherever and however you can. If we’re going to make something better it’s going to depend on reinvigorating a sense of interconnectedness. We’re all in this together and the fight depends on recognizing that.

Happening now: ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard who targeted criminals is out...replaced by Border Patrol loyalists and Bovino’s “Midway Blitz” crew. This isn’t reform. It’s a power grab. Shit just got more real.

Following up on this.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

Today marks 24 years since the signing of the PATRIOT Act: a law that dramatically expanded authoritarian policing in the United States. It was born out of fear and fueled by Islamophobia.

It cannot be stressed enough how important mutual aid networks are about to become. These will be tantamount to replacing the cut benefits in the coming weeks. Reach out within your communities. Build connections, talk to people. Ask how you can help each other. When we build solidarity, we win!

It would be a perfect fall day in Chicago if not for the roving gangs of violent federal goons terrorizing our communities.

jesus christ man, we can’t ever get used to this and normalize it.

As SNAP benefits are cut, this should be something we demand of state governors to do with their states national guard. Food banks & other forms of community aid will feel the stress caused by these cuts. There will undoubtedly be understaffing and shortages, this is one way we can prepare for this

what the fuck man

The fact that Republicans get upset about tearing down confederate monuments, but not demolishing the White House, says a lot.

NBC - Man was fatally hit by vehicle while fleeing ICE on Virginia highway, officials say A preliminary investigation indicated that the man was fleeing a pursuit by ICE when he left his car and attempted to cross the interstate, Virginia State Police said.

Angry that Canada aired an ad using Reagan's own words about tariffs, Trump said: "I can play dirtier than they can." Sounds like something a mob boss would say, doesn't it?

Community is key to staying safe
