So ugh did miller just say they have plenary power to do as they please in regards to deploying troops domestically? If so that is wildly dangerous and shows their goal is absolute power without check.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police. Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

The Federal Election Commission, which regulates campaign finance, has lost another member. But the FEC has actually been without a quorum for months, leaving the agency unable to do much of its work.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

The social reproduction of fascism in place of democracy is accelerating at light speed as schools push into overt indoctrination

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

People need to press Governor Pritzker about whether he’s weighed a declaration of emergency for this crisis and if not why. www.ilga.gov/Legislation/...

Neoliberalism is the soil from which American fascism was born and has matured into the monster it is today. To topple American fascism we must understsnd it is being adtroturfed by the same intrestes stealing our futures for their profit due to cimate collapse heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

Fearful Americans Stockpiling Facts Before Federal Government Comes To Take Them Away https://theonion.com/fearful-americans-stockpiling-facts-before-federal-gove-1819579589/

(DHS) has expanded its definition of threats to include filming Ice operations. Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, defined “violence” in July as ‘anything that threatens [DHS agents] and their safety. It is doxing them. It is videotaping them where they’re at.’”

People don’t like it when I say it, but the main place you’ll be pressured to participate in fascism is work. Especially if you work in a battleground space like government or academia. None of your weekend organizing can ever make up for active participation in the fascist project at your day job.

This is the most detailed look inside Tyler Robinson's Discord community I've seen and yet again, it gives us absolutely no clear motivation, political in or otherwise. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

A hallmark of a totalitarian and genocidal dictatorship is the inability to escape. The federal government is laying the infrastructure for mass repression and fascist violence at an accelerating pace and scale. theintercept.com/2025/09/13/m...

And the Ellisons are also first in line to buy TikTok if it gets sold, which would fuse CBS, CNN, Time Warner, Paramount, and TikTok all into one company whose entire function would be to blow smoke up the right wing's ass

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

Truly the Gen Z revolution

My guess is that his threat to prosecute feds who violate the rights of Chicagoans did it. Every D governor and AG should be making the same promise.

The beginning stages of building the intellectual framework for shutting all dissent out of public spaces starting as astroturfed faux outrage bait on Facebook… where have we seen that dynamic before?

Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

New from 404 Media: ICE is using a new facial recognition app to identify people, leaked emails show. Point camera at person, reveal their identity. It uses the CBP system that records peoples' faces as they enter or exit the U.S. Now, turned inwards to be used by ICE www.404media.co/ice-is-using...

Deporting children of military veterans because they were born on an overseas military base. This man has no citizenship now.

Someone please explain to me why this isn't even a talking point in election discourse. nypost.com/2024/11/25/u...

Oof. Here's a new bit of research in JAMA suggesting that Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic condition affecting children.

"i used to be a progressive but now that i am making a comfortable income supported by reactionary largesse, i find their opinions are not so bad to me. what caused this change? surely it was the rude kids leaving reasonable people like me behind and not my source of income"

Very cool that several people who used to yell at me in DMs for being too mean to Facebook are now running some sort of extralegal posse informally deputized by the actual United States Army.

Tech bailout underway. Taxpayer money being stolen.

More stochastic terrorism and LE impersonation

Fascist apologism isn’t surprising coming from The Atlantic, but I was still shocked by this piece 1/3

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

Brown shirts going after more government officials: After asserting their rights and refusing an arbitrary 'security' check, DHS handcuffed one of Rep. Jerrold Nadler's congressional staffers in his Manhattan office

New from 404 Media: we've obtained a leak from inside Palantir describing Palantir's plan to help ICE find people to deport. Includes peoples' location. Palantir is expecting a backlash, preparing comments for employees to tell their family. Says ICE "mature partner" www.404media.co/leaked-palan...

Generative Ai is and has always been the aesthetic of modern fascism and it’s only becoming more and more clear now.

This energy right here.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

They're trying to deport my colleague from the med school and holding her without counsel. She was coming back from a visit to her family. If there are ways to help I'll let you know. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...
