Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

I guess we're not even pretending that they were drug dealers any more? Now we're just bragging about showing our strength by killing a boatload of innocent fishermen.

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

This is so so awful. He left four children (all Americans, not that it should matter) and a grieving wife (also an American, not that it should matter)

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

A good samaritan and community watch member were brutally arrested while documenting a Border Patrol raid at a Home Depot, one was hospitalized while the other was detained for eight hours. By Izzy Ramirez The full story: lataco.com/feds-injure-...

My children are now starting their adult lives, but I can't imagine anyone who has ever cared for a baby or toddler would ever think that "short sleeper" was a trait to consciously chose for your infant.

Make time tomorrow to call your Congressperson and both your senators tomorrow. Remind them that trans rights are human rights. Hell, call your reps even if they're Republicans. Let's remind them that they will eventually need to be reelected.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Bookmarking this for when I need to remind myself that this Administration is a bunch of chucklekfucks in a clown car.

we need evidence of two things: first, that trump can distinguish fantasy from reality and second, that trump is actually president

Bros can't even judge when to stop refashioning their faces into smooth lizards but sure, put em charge of everyone else

Multiple people of my faith community were murdered today, their church building set on fire, and first responders are now searching for the remains of unaccounted for individuals. And here’s the president bragging about the tackiness of his office.

Broadview Police have opened an investigation into an attack from federal agents on a CBS crew at Broadview, per BPD Chief Mills.

Nice of him to make it CRYSTAL CLEAR that Trump & the Republican Majority will own a shutdown, period.

It’s interesting how happy many people are with the suffering of others. Not so different psychologically than a maga voter in that. The result of this will be family farms being sold to huge corporations, which is bad even for us comfortable city dwellers.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

This is the way! Live to fight another day! Multiple highly credible organizers are saying: Broadview is NO GO tonight. Let them prepare for the maximum and sit around cooling their heels.

🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨 People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend. Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

The Epstein Files must have so many details about horrific crimes perpetrated by Trump, Mike Johnson and dozens of Republican politicians. And it's very funny how badly they all want this topic to die and how their own actions only keep it in everyone's minds.

Need to have a talk with my cat about how late she stays in bed. Her productivity levels are very low!#Caturday

Mike Johnson seems real keen on protecting pedophiles. I'm sure there's nothing untoward in his past whatsoever.

Ok, this is very funny and should happen far more often.

If Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva just to block her from being the 218th signature to force a vote on the Epstein files, then I think we should reasonably conclude that he’s in those files. And then tell everyone. Can you believe Mike Johnson is in the files?

Here's a video of Border Patrol with road rage towards a Canadian driver. While screaming "Never come back to the US again". The border patrol guy became nervous when he saw he was being filmed.

forgive me if this is a hot take but a president who announces that he is waging war against a US city and deploying the military to execute said war is at war with the American people

There is still much uncertainty about what potential Tropical Storm Imelda could bring. My team is continuing to track the storm, but now is the time to make preparations. Heavy rainfall with the potential for flash flooding is expected all across the state this weekend and into early next week.

They detained a Black man, of course. More overreach. ICE won't stop. It must be ABOLISHED. Democrats must run on Abolish ICE. This is a racist, corrupt Gestapo that is terrorizing Americans. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

The Supreme Court just decreed that the entire federal budget is a slush fund that can get spent at Trump's sole discretion.

Either Dr. Ian Roberts is a master con artist or ICE is lying. He cannot have arrived in the US in 1999 and graduated from Coppin State in 1998. This is not an Orwell novel. Both of these things cannot be true.

This is the very definition of concentration camps.

This is an infuriating and shameful scandal. The Roberts Court is condoning Trump’s law breaking, again, pure and simple. There is no serious path forward for democratic government without Supreme Court reform.

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

Damn this is good. History, politics, emotion, hope, CHANGE.

If we're finally going to crack down about lying to Congress under oath, I think there are several Cabinet members and a few Supreme Court justices whose testimonies might need revisiting.

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago this morning. Protesters here for this morning's action are gathering off 25th now that Beach has been fenced off. A pair of men peering through the fence at ICE vehicles shout, "Get the fuck out of Chicago, you terrorists!"

Emil Bove instructed his subordinates at the Justice Department to defy court orders enforcing due process then lied about his heinous behavior to the Senate. The next Democratic attorney general should seriously consider presenting the overwhelming evidence of criminal conduct to a D.C. grand jury.

I am going to be so mad if this turns Comey into a hero.

Today a member of the House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government said Comey "should be charged with treason" and I'm now realizing the subcommittee name doesn't actually say if they're for or against the weaponization ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics/comey-indictment-making-trump-upset/

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

When this is over-and it will be over-we’re going to need Nuremberg war crimes trials.

Watched the latest episode of Last Week Tonight and I have mixed feelings about John Oliver discovering my favorite guy from German children's TV. It's like my favorite obscure indie band just made the top ten.
