War-ravaged Portland

NARA’s proposed budget for FY 2026 includes a 10% overall cut and a 33% cut to funding for electronic recs programs. In this day and age if docs aren’t available digitally they might as well not exist. Call your senators. Our history is in danger of being erased! open.substack.com/pub/harpp/p/...?

In response to ICE targeting Chicago, locals are targeting bottlenecks in ICE operations, leading to clashes at the Broadview ICE facility last Friday. In this report, participants in the blockades recount their experiences and share their preliminary conclusions. crimethinc.com/ChicagoBroad...

The city would see a sharp increase in the number of federal and military personnel on the ground. Day-to-day, that would mean more checkpoints, curfews, raids, surveillance, and visible armed patrols. Trump has also verbally authorized the use of any force required against protesters.

Why are people comparing Charlie Kirk to Horst Wessel? – The Forward

Hey DOJ, today would be a great day to honor Charlie Kirk by releasing the Epstein Files. KIRK: "The DOJ should immediately move to unseal all the Epstein documents in the SDNY. I think every file should be released to the public."

Publicize everyone who signs.

“I am familiar with the history of authoritarian leaders disappearing people they don’t like in Latin America, the part of the world that my family comes from. I wanted to think that doesn’t happen in this country. But what I had just witnessed felt uncomfortably similar”

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

What's Happening Online? The Radicalization of Young Men, The Black Pill Movement, and a Growing Culture of Violent Nihilism

As America nears a tipping point, Russell Vought desires a radical rightwing “counter-revolution.”   For @zeit.de, I wrote a profile of one of Trumpism’s key figures – and one of Trump’s most dangerous henchmen.   Some thoughts from the piece (since it is in German):

The new mandate was the latest in a series of actions by the Trump administration to limit the ability of the media to cover the federal government without interference. Read the restrictions:

NEWS: Trump will fire a US Attorney for not charging Letitia James, boycotts of Disney and ABC grow fast, Robinson used the moniker "donaldtrump" when playing video games, and more. Another dangerous day in America. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

The Justice Department this week sued two blue states, Maine and Oregon, to attempt to gain access to their full, unredacted voter registration lists, intensifying President Trump’s anti-voting efforts. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino.” In LA now, that is the reality, at least as long as this case continues. And there’s no reason in this opinion to assume it won’t soon be the reality for the rest of us, too.

Q: What do Trump & @MarshaBlackburn have in common? A: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

Call every stupid weak fuck democrat senator bc otherwise you can expect the entire trans population to be hunted or sent to death camps in 36 months or less.

They’ll cave because the thing you can count on is that they have no spine and don’t actually give a fuck enough about poor people or middle income people, regardless of skin color, pronouns or GI. What they care about is perpetuating the system. They’re performative NPCs.

A few things are clear from this: 1. Trump has lost control of the narrative. 2. Trump is panicked about what is in the Epstein files. 3. When the files get released, Trump will say they are forgeries. 4. Trump is going to target Democrats with political prosecutions.

via @accountablegop.bsky.social Q: Why is the FBI not releasing the Epstein list? (Now FBI Director) Kash Patel: "Because of who's on that list."

We’ve now entered the revoking citizenship of people who are mean to me phase of the presidency. It only gets worse.

An unusual sight: President Trump is getting ratio’d on Truth Social for asking his followers to move on from the Epstein files. Some say he’s “gaslighting,” others say it will cost him supporters or even “kill MAGA.” A sampling of some replies getting heavy engagement.

250 people detained in the Florida Everglades have no criminal convictions or pending charges.

What doesn’t get talked about enough is that this is now standard, a Dodge Caravan and general use vehicles being used to kidnap people.
