People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record 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 this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Good for them. But Carpenter — a heavily leveraged media owner on an investor-backed buying spree — does not seem as if it has the best interests of journalism in mind. They may put the corporate raiders at Alden to shame.

Trump has never known what reality is.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Another episode in the ongoing series: Techbros Read Dystopias and think, "Cool".

Our Secret Police doing what they do best: breaking the law and terrorizing citizens.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

In Trump's first term, he didn't wage war on U.S. cities until his final year when it was clear he couldn't stop failing. We're im for a long nightmare unless leaders step up now to stop him. Looking at you @schumer.senate.gov. We need more than letters. A lot more.

Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress could stop this at literally any moment they choose.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

This. Where are their voices?

Hope my #PDX friends are ready for a repeat of 2020's invasion. Be safe, everyone.

There's only one conspiracy in modern American life that has any traction in reality, and it's the extent to which a mobbed up family of lifelong criminals adn grifters is systematically destroying the United States of America and replacing it with a monarchy with a plastic crown.

What's next? I'd say UFOs, be we kind of tried that, too, and it was such a big nothing we all forgot about it. Atlantis? Bigfoot? Bermuda Triangle? Maybe try to figure out TMA-1 on the moon after all these years? It's like he's trying to bring back the 70's series "In Search Of."

First he releases the Kennedy assassination files, and there's nothing new there. Then he releases the Amelia Earhart files, and there's likely nothing new there either. You wonder what it is he thinks will grab our attention and hold it the way, say, the Epstein files would.

The answer can pretty much be foreordained by now.

Subtly downgrade a band I Think So

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

It's no longer about restoring what was before. It's about building what comes after.

Yet again, the GOP supermajority steps in to allow Trump to break the law. The case will be decided on the merits later, it says, when the damage cannot be undone. But in the meantime it is giving the Trump administration a green light to engage in impoundment.

The Supreme Court is hopelessly corrupt. If and when we get a non-fascist government back, they should pack the damn thing with reality-based justices. Add 5 more. 11.

This is the correct read. The Supreme Court has endorsed dictatorship with a symbolic legislature with no real power.

The Trump administration: ha ha ha prices can't go up if you can't buy anything!!!!

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

So if you're against fascism, you're now the enemy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Some of us have already caught on.

anyway periodic reminder that congress can at any time they wish, and should tomorrow, end this

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

The rot goes all the way down.

There is no bottom to the depravity of the manbaby in chief. How pathetic.

I'm sorry but it's extremely hard to swallow a story that claims someone radicalized enough to go after an ICE facility with a sniper rifle would shoot three detainees and not hit a single ICE agent, if their goal was to shoot ICE agents. And using a marker to write "ANTI-ICE" on a bullet? Come on.

It's ketchup night in the White House! www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Same logic: "We'll let the president steal the election now and take up whether rioting constitutes protected speech next year." Ours will be the first nation in history to slip into dictatorship because democracy became moot.

It's the old "There's no rush to put out the fire now. We'll take up the fire department funding increase prorposal in the next session, after the holdiays" game that Trump has exploited to upend constitutional government, for which the SCOTUS has cheerfully gone along for the ride.

Says it all in the NYT's newsletter today: "The Supreme Court allowed President Trump to fire one of the leaders of the Federal Trade Commission *for now*, and said it would consider *in December* the broader question whether to overturn a 90-year-old precedent... (emph. mine)

Sadly, this doesn't feel like exaggeration.

"We're going to destroy access to useful, factual information and use a water-destroying electricity hog that screws up all the time." people: that sounds bad. why? "It'll make a ton of money for my underground bunker once I've drained all you rubes dry" people: oh. can I write a novel with it?

Technologically advance a band LEDO

Mood.

The classiest of sports, human cockfighting.

Maybe because this is exactly what it looks like: an intra-right fight that this administration is trying to find a scapegoat for, because it can't point the finger at itself?

Note: One reason Trump may be saying "we have to act fast." The comments Jim Comey made to Congress they want to prosecute were made on September 30, 2020. They've got 8 days to charge it.

It's Ashley Todd carving a backward 'B' into her own forehead all over again.

I agree. Not cancel culture, but censorship. Not for lack of sensitivity over Kirk, but for mocking Trump.

Killing journalists is a war crime. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Gotta send the numbers up the chair for anticipatory de-woking.

Laura Loomer claims another head. It’s insane she’s never had a proper background security check and there’s no transparency on who pays her.
