If you are concerned about this remember to address directly it with the person wearing the Meta glasses, rotating with your hips and core for power and aiming through their face rather than at it

​BREAKING: Today, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum opened all 1.56 million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s Coastal Plain to oil and gas leasing. These lands are sacred to the Gwich’in Nation, home to irreplaceable wildlife and wilderness, and have never seen industrialization.

President Trump declares trade negotiations with Canada "are hereby terminated" because the Canadians "fraudulently used an advertisement" featuring former president Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs.

CANCEL SPOTIFY SUBSCRIPTION. A Spotify spokesperson stated that ICE recruiting ads are "part of a broad campaign the US government is running across television, streaming, and online channels" and that they do not violate the company's advertising policies. Screenshot on substack:

New Yorkers are blocking Ice from kidnapping people. This is solidarity ✊✊🏽✊🏻✊🏿✊🏾

Federal Goons pull over woman, threaten to arrest her for allegedly trying to "impede" by following them.

Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino personally participated in an ICE raid at a laundromat in the city. However, the owner locked the doors and refused entry, which halted the operation at the site. Chicago

The federal gov wants people to have more babies- but fired the entire Healthy Start team. Their job was to ensure Americans have healthy pregnancies and infants have a healthy start to life. Their work is needed considering we rank 33rd out of 38 among high-income countries for infant mortality

Enten: "Trump is doing absolutely awful in the minds of the American people. We're talking about new lows. CNBC, -13 net approval on the economy. It's -19 among Quinnipiac ... He's not just beating himself with record lows -- this is the lowest for any president ever."

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

An ICE agent shot a pastor in the face with a flashbang and also possibly came in his pants...

A superb article 🎁 Link defector.com/higher-eds-r...

ICE can't do its work without its agents and apparently it can't get agents without lowering the bar to become one so yes it is newsworthy that this is in fact what is happening and the fact that it's happening is also an indicator of exactly how brazen the order to disregard the law is

Today, Pope Leo said that inhuman actions are being carried out against migrants, and celebrated politically, that treat migrants “as if they were garbage and not human beings.” He also said this is in direct contradiction to the teachings of Christianity. www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

I see that @whitehousehistory.bsky.social put out a statement yesterday stating that they were able to complete a “comprehensive digital scanning project” to document the East Wing, and that the historic artifacts have been preserved and stored.

Protesters gathered on the road leading from Oakland to Coast Guard Island, opposing the deployment of CBP and other federal agents sent to crack down immigration enforcement in the Bay Area. 🎥: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades and Minh Connors

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

The goal should be to repeat it so often that some reporter slips and asks Leavitt about the "Epstein Ballroom."

Every time I worry about finances in the aftermath of early retirement, I see nightmare posts about the use of AI in literature & writing classrooms— & then, I swear I see the Ghost of Harriet Tubman waving at me, like, “Listen, I helped you make it over Jordan! Don’t lose faith, child.”

ICE agents boxed in Illinois Rep. Hoan Huynh’s car in Chicago, pointed a gun at him and staff, and threatened to break windows after he warned locals about nearby ICE activity. This isn’t enforcement... it’s intimidation.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

COLLINS: If you have a healthcare plan, why not have that out there to talk about in the public so people can hear it? MIKE JOHNSON: We need to get back to regular session so we can. We will not negotiate with legislative terrorists

BREAKING: San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie says that Trump has now called back the 100 federal agents he had sent to the Bay Area. Keep raising your voice peacefully.

"“It’s important to let people know what those who don’t support this look like, that we’re just like everybody else: We are America.” The lone woman who staged a ‘No Kings’ protest in small-town West Virginia 19thnews.org/2025/10/kend... via @19thnews.org

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

Mike Johnson is now pretending that it's Rep-Elect Grijalva who is not doing her job, when he's the one shirking his duties. And even *he* knows this is bullshit. He corrects himself to call her "Rep-Elect" not "Rep" because he actually understands there's a very important difference.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Things like this keep happening.

Burchett is Burchetting again.

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The New York ****ing Jets are sponsoring the demolition of the White House. Ofc they are. Garbage franchise doing garbage things.

ok who did this? ☹️

After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were. The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

🚨NYC is showing us how it’s done! ✊🏼 1/2
