The image they shared showed riot police and a crowd with flares and red smoke, designed to support Trump's claim that Portland's protests were out of control, but was actually a digital composite of two unrelated photographs from different South American countries. www.rawstory.com/trump-oregon...

Old activist here. Too sick to go myself so shooting out Activism 101 suggestions. I don't think small groups should be antagonizing the feds to pick a fight to lose. My advice Go very large or go very weird like the frog guy in Portland. Also, canvas neighborhoods and phone bank to increase numbers

I really need an angry face option in lieu of ‘heart-ing’ everything.

Storming an apartment complex by helicopter, deploying chemical agents near a public school, handcuffing a city council member at a hospital. Immigration agents are using increasingly combative tactics in Chicago. apnews.com/article/chic...

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Gov Pritzker reports that Trump is demanding he activate the National Guard in Illinois, or Trump will. To recap: •IL violent crime rate is 310/100K •USA violent crime rate is 374/100K •Red states have a 40% higher murder rate than do blue states This isn't national security—it's fascist autocracy

All of Chicago should be parking themselves outside of the ICE Broadview facility.

October 6 is the deadline to REGISTER to vote in GA's 2025 elections, including the critical election for Public Service Commission and for Atlanta City Council. Check your registration or register today!

Please call Cook County DA and ask them to drop charges against the group of protesters arrested in Chicago yesterday: (312) 603-1880 This is particularly for Illinois residents, but national calls couldn’t hurt.

The Texas redistricting hearing started on Wednesday in El Paso. Democracy Docket is covering it every day like it is the most important case for free and for elections in the country -- because it is. Legacy media is no where to be found. Support the DD team to make it possible. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Mario was simply doing his job as a reporter when police targeted him. He was detained 108+ days, muzzled by the admin. Today, the US govt is deporting him to El Salvador, which he fled for safety reasons. This chilling practice seeks to silence dissent & truth. www.democracynow.org/2025/10/3/ma...

This is classic authoritarian behavior: using official power to cut off information access. Doing so thru the Apple App Store is simply a modern day avenue; of course DOJ won’t stop here. Likely gearing up to cut off messenger apps too. Thnx @mmasnick.bsky.social: www.techdirt.com/2025/10/03/d...

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

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation. Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

Ha! Nicely timed, Atlanta History Center! www.atlantahistorycenter.com/our-war-too-...

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Trump In Oct 2024: Kamala Harris is lying. I have nothing to do with Project 2025. Trump In Oct 2025: I’m meeting today with Russ Vought to implement Project 2025. We need to stop the behind-the-scenes gaslighting and have a full-frontal showdown with this dude.

This is an awesome ‘Ted Talk’ by AOC on our current situation… 💙

I’ve noticed Google searches about Trump, Bush, and other prominent Republicans looking…sanitized—as if there’s been a concerted effort to whitewash their digital history. One of the silliest examples is that “Ronny Jackson hungover hallway” used to get you Pete Souza’s photo:

Don’t miss this. ICE, way over the line in Chicago.

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

NSPM-7 directs aggressive use of existing powers to create uncertainty & risk for tax-exempt organizations – especially those engaged in advocacy & organizing! Strengthen compliance practices, understand rights, seek appropriate legal counsel. #nonprofits #gapol

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

The Council is an apolitical board of scholars that safeguards libraries, museums, archives, and preservation projects from politics. Trump just fired most of them, saying replacements must “align with his vision.” It’s another blatant attempt to rewrite history.

This makes me incredibly sad. 😞 Our poor planet.🌎

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Noooooooo!!!! 😭

It blows my mind how easily and how fast so many companies got on their knees for trump but we were doomed the moment we decided that entities whose only interest is maximizing shareholder value also deserved the basic rights of people. Fuck Google.

More than 100 writers, journalists, and scholars call for the immediate release of Mario Guevara in a letter from @penamerica.bsky.social, @pressfreedom.bsky.social & Free Press. His detention is a direct attack on press freedom. #FreeMario @attorneynora.bsky.social SHARE: pen.org/press-releas...

Democrats are in full attendance, while Republicans are nowhere to be found. At least one side is working for us.

If we still had anything resembling a functioning Constitution, he would be impeached by lunchtime & convicted & removed from office by the close of business today.

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

JD Vance is an investor in AcreTrader, a company that buys distressed farmland. See how this works?

I agree! @ossoff.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Peachy keen. Alllll good.

Call Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, and ask him why he's protecting pedofiles and childhood sex traffickers. His official DC numbers are: (202) 225-4000 and (202) 225-2777 Bossier City office: (318) 840-0309 DeRidder office: (337) 226-6385 Leesville office: (337) 423-4232 Be relentless.

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are prepared to roll over to avoid a shutdown. That cannot happen, because it is exactly what Trump wants. Now is the time to fight. Call their offices and tell them. @schumer.senate.gov : (202) 224-6542 @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : (202)-225-5936

THAT is fucking ridiculous. 😡

🚨Fed PSA🚨 Print off employee docs before the shut down. CDC’s union (AFGE2883) has put together a RIF guide detailing what docs may be needed if firings occur: www.afge2883ga.org/_files/ugd/9... More info on joining AFGE👉https://afge2883ga.org Check furlough status👉 wcps.cdc.gov (intranet only)

It’s a miracle the cross around her neck hasn’t burst into flames.

Look at this video. Take a long, hard look at this scene. Masked federal agents, armed like soldiers on a battlefield, a dozen of em, taking down & detaining one immigrant. On our streets. Take a long, hard look at this. And then pass it on to others. This is Trumpism. This must not be who we are.👇

ICE boats trawling the Chicago River. This is the DUMBEST thing I've seen in my entire life. No exaggeration. What's next? Humvees loaded with armed, masked agents patrolling Disney's Main Street U.S.A.? #Chicago

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.
