Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

My dearest Alice: I write to you from a city under siege. The horrors have become inescapable. We are surrounded on all sides by an enemy who has left no corner of this place untouched by its poison. I speak, of course, of our old foe: gratuitous punctuation in business names

“Steve Held, the journalist arrested tonight and taken to a so far undisclosed location, was part of the reporting team that exposed the falsity of ICE’s official narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas González. His work speaks for itself.”

The Comey indictment "is an indication of how thoroughly Trump has been able to corrupt" the Justice Department, Quinta Jurecic writes. "In any other political moment, this would be obviously impeachable conduct": https://theatln.tc/dlP4mhCt

Clearly no way ICE with their $28 billion budget could possibly get less than a dozen people away from their driveway curb cut without the full force of the USA military.

NEW — Video posted to social media shows Unraveled Press co-founder Steve Held being detained by federal agents outside the Broadview immigration facility earlier this evening. A collection of Chicago newsrooms is calling for his immediate release. thetriibe.com/2025/09/chic...

Ted Cruz recently chastised the left for demonizing ICE by referring to them as Nazis Well Here’s an ICE agent demonizing immigrants, using Nazi like verbiage

@govpritzker.illinois.gov what authority does ICE have to manage use of public roads? That sounds like a job for local and state law enforcement. Not ICE.

Not only was it somewhat effective, it was also, if I may say so, delicious. Best food at a protest I've ever had was at the DTLA No Kings last spring. The challenge is the end: when most people go home, and a few especially radical folks stick around, police escalate, and there's your news video.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview. Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.

Portland declares ICE facility out of compliance, demands its clearance. www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-...

Now that was thrilling! I never panicked. Made myself low and small to the side of the trail 3 youngsters. Healthy. And not agressive We shared a quite a moment 🐕🐶

💯

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Never lose track of the fact that every insane thing Trump is doing right now is to block or distract the release of the #EpsteinFiles.

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

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

It's a tale as old as the hills.

Let's get that same kind of effort galvanized behind Black women who lost their jobs this year! NOTE: Black women lost 319,000 jobs between February and July of this year, the only major female demographic to experience significant job losses during this five-month period. white men gained 365,000

Amanda Trebach, a member of the immigrant rights' group Unión del Barrio and an ICU nurse, was monitoring ICE operations in the Los Angeles area when she was targeted and arrested herself.

The CBC is central to our party. Leadership means respect, not cheap shots. @rokhanna.bsky.social is #AtOurTable https://youtube.com/shorts/mmxSYhleiIA#AtOurTable#CBCWeek2025

You know what gives me a headache? Listening to stupid azz people deny reality. When that happens, I take my favorite kind of Tylenol. You know, the rapid release of the Epstein files kind. #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

The Lying Child-Rapist in our White House is lying again, calling the Insurrection HE incited "A Hoax." It was NOT a Hoax. Americans, other than his Uneducated Cult know exactly what January 6th was. I'm so tired of his attempts to make everyone believe lies. Release the REAL Epstein Files

Check out Rev. Dr. Caleb J. Lines, telling it like it is. MAGA just isn't consistent with the teachings of Jesus. No matter how loudly they claim to be Christians, they aren't. Because they oppose ALL of Christ's teachings. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I got to talk about this very issue on #WITHpod with @chrislhayes.bsky.social. An electricity cost crisis is coming. We need efficiency, smart technologies and policies, resilient infrastructure, and lots of clean energy. open.spotify.com/episode/32ps...

Miles, gone 34 years ago this weekend. “People talk about ‘cool,’” he said, “but for us it wasn’t about being cool — it was about trying to find a different sound. The critics called it ‘cool.’ We just called it music.” #RIP

I'm glad to see House Democrats are pressing to get Rep-Elect Grijalva seated, because the fight over this is just a prelude to what the House Republicans will try in January 2027, when charges of "voter fraud" will lead to "serious questions" that will delay the seating of several new Democrats.

It’s National Public Lands Day! California is home to some of the best public lands. Thank you to all those who protect our parks, wildlife, monuments, and conservation areas! Will always fight to protect our public lands.

Say it with me, kids: There's no scientific or public health body besides RFK Kr.'s HHS stating that using Tylenol while you're pregnant can give your children autism.

Watch out for the arugula!

Thanks so much to Gavin Newsom for catching this! A true patriot!

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Trump is accelerating his attack on Americans. He's jailing his enemies. He's silencing his opposition. He's militarizing our cities. Because he knows he is about to lose the House of Representatives. He's knows he must work fast to complete his fascist takeover.

Portland is clearly a test run—your blue state is next. Any non-compliance with the demands of the fascist regime upon your local/state governments will be deemed Rebellion and will lead to federal troops being deployed to suppress you and your rights. So do not expect a free and fair 2026 election.

Well played, everyone. What could possibly go wrong? 👁️👁️

Here’s Gryffin Doing what he does on #Caturday (and every other day, come to think of it-he’s nothing if not consistent)

It’s funny because it isn’t 😕 🇺🇸

In the State Department’s original tweet, they tagged the wrong Gustavo Petro. Imagine being a random guy from Brazil and waking up to learn you’ve been visa banned from the US

Please everyone in #WarRavagedPortland post your best photographs of the devastation there so that you will not suffer alone!!

Good new detailed reporting from @washingtonpost.com on Hegseth calling all the brass to Pentagon at great cost and security risk. Here's the last paragraph: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

From the Battle of the Japanese Garden. Unspeakable carnage. #WarRavagedPortland

Oh my goodness, giant puppets and happy music in the park downtown in Portland. Save us from all of this enjoyment… #warravagedportland

I was up there last week, took the last chopper out and barely made it out alive. You can practically smell the napalm in this photo #warravagedportland

While the Supreme Court's decision yesterday was very troubling, it was NOT a final decision on this issue. We must keep fighting to ensure the power of the purse stays where it belongs, with the United States Congress. Don't lose hope. (2/2) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

Totally random, boring, pedestrian in every sense of the word, photo taken five blocks from the ICE facility. Total war zone! 😆 #WarRavagedPortland #portland

Def Antifa. You can tell by the mask. #WarRavagedPortland
