🚨Last night, the Tucson community gathered to OPPOSE the use of a facility for ICE’s detention camp. ✊🏼 This is what democracy looks like. Use it while you can! 1/2

Checkmate!

"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells. It is built in the shrug, the silence, the insistence that life can go on as if nothing has changed" Frederick Joseph"A Thought on Normalcy in Fascism" frederickjoseph.substack.com/p/normal-tim...

From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting. They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.

Apparently, Speaker Mike Johnson needs to be sued in order to do his job. By not swearing in Rep. Grijalva, he's silencing over 800,000 Arizonans. This is clear disregard for the democratic process.

Fightin ICE Gestapo ✊🏼 Arrest them ALL! #iceout

Republicans are doing anything they can to retain power in 2026, even if it means gutting the VRA and dismantling our democracy along the way. SCOTUS has an obligation to keep our elections free and fair. We must hold our leaders accountable.

🚨U.S. inflation rises to 3% in September as prices increase at the fastest rate since January. The White House says they will likely not release October’s inflation data next month, blaming the shutdown.

The White House is supposed to be modest. It’s supposed to communicate that the president is a steward of democracy and not a monarch

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

NEWS: Trump furious as Canada uses Ronald Reagan's words against him, Trump cuts off trade negotiations with Canada, Inflation hits 3% for first time since January, Target conducts mass layoffs, and much more. All the news you missed. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

They are murdering people in international waters with no due process. They are kidnapped and trafficking people with no due process. They are destroying govt historic property with no process. When does our Congress say ENOUGH? Do your job, people, or leave and let someone else do it.

“$350,000,000” And surely all those *investors* will get itemized receipts to make sure he didn’t just pocket most of it too right? No wonder taxpayers aren’t paying — less transparency/criming this way

This is a take-one-for-the-team moment. Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it. He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts. Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it." Go Jack!

Priorities.

President Trump warns Israel that US aid will end if they formally annex the West Bank, but Israeli settlement expansion and de facto annexation continue. His own ambassador has contradicted the White House’s stated opposition, fueling policy confusion.

ICE's 2025 body count hits 20 detainees, deadliest since the early 2000s, as they cram in 60,000 amid gutted oversight and staffing fiascos that tout preventable horrors like TB and suicides. #HumanRights

In the first nine months of his second administration, Trump has targeted political opponents and Democrat-led cities, states, and institutions. Right-wing media figures have defended and commended Trump’s actions through it all.

When you can be accused of a crime by this regimes Gestapo without proof, it’s shows to what extent they’ve weakened the rule of law

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

We’re sure many of you have seen the video of the protester playing the Star Wars “Imperial March.” He was arrested for no reason. A Washington, D.C., resident who protested while playing the “Imperial March” theme from Star Wars has filed a federal lawsuit against

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

Radical idea: The next Dem nominee should run on making bribery actually illegal. In every way.

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition. Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

They celebrate punching down. Gleeful when people in desperate circumstances get deported. We can support border security and the law without getting off on the misery of others.

When the FDA approved updated COVID-19 vaccines back in August, it also imposed new restrictions on who is eligible to get them — restrictions that have made it harder for the nation's most vulnerable people to access a life-saving vaccine. Here's my reporting on the issue.

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Texas dismissed a GOP lawsuit against California’s new congressional redistricting plan ruling that the plaintiff, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), had no right to sue over another state’s election laws. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Tech titans like Thiel and Musk hustle Yarvin's monarchist fever dream, shoving autocracy via Vance's purge blueprint: gut bureaucrats, defy courts, entrench kleptocrat rule on duped masses' dime. #Project2025

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

The first missed paycheck was an inflection point in previous government shutdowns and TSA workers expect the same this time around.

Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure. Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized. Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

😕 We are all paying for this vanity project
