"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

A #mustread, esp for Jesus followers. scotmcknight.substack.com/p/what-he-sa...

I did a brief search of Google and the major news websites for "Judge Diane Goodstein" and none of the corporate US news have this story. ⁉️ Why are the media silent about this horrific attack on a circuit court judge and her family, who had recently ruled against the Trump admin about voter data?

Remember that the TX NG (like any deployed from OR, CA, or IL) will not get paid during a shutdown. So, uproot them from family, home, jobs. And not pay them.

Brainworms score again.

Semper Fi 💯💪🏽🇺🇸💙👏🏼👏🏼

I don’t mean to overreact or anything, but this is the commander-in-chief telling military personnel that Democrats are a problem to be dealt with.

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.

An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers. Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

Public data everyone

From Immergut opinion: "Pres is certainly entitled “a great level of deference ..But a great level of deference is not equivalent to ignoring the facts on the ground. Must reflect a colorable assement w/in a range of honest judgment. The President’s determination was simply UNTETHERED TO THE FACTS."

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Heard an officer say "let's do it" and then, in the dark, they tackle Rabbi Ben to the ground. He's being loaded into a CCSO wagon now. Broadview police also here screaming at people.

CALIFORNIANS!!!! You’re gonna start getting your ballots. Vote YES for prop/ state measure 50, (it will be titled differently in different counties.) Vote as soon as you get your ballot so that phone calls and texts can be directed to people who need more convincing. 1/

Ferlinghetti: “Pity the nation whose leaders are liars Whose sages are silenced and whose bigots haunt the airwaves”

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

The violated the 4th amendment rights of everybody in that building and zip tied children for this

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Well, well, well. Jack Posobiec, the loudest voting-fraud conspiracy theorist, lives in Maryland. He votes in Pennsylvania. slate.com/news-and-pol... By @jsweetli.bsky.social & @marisakabas.bsky.social on @slate.com

Super important case to understand key functions of the National Environmental Policy Act. It compels agencies to consider alternatives, like, should FEMA rebuild a vulnerable-carbon-intensive grid or are there alternatives - rooftop solar - that save ratepayers money and make grids more resilient?

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

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

The GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House, yet they've shut down the government. It's unacceptable that military families must rely on food pantries. Our troops shouldn’t pay the price for Republican political stunts. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

If Trump is allowed to murder civilians at sea, he is allowed to murder civilians in your streets. Charges need to be drawn up for his actions in the Caribbean and presented to a US court, military court, and international court. Everyone involved must also face charges.

BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S. AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers. Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

NEW: By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants. KBJ, dissenting, says she "cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference" while "lives hang in the balance." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

"This means that, whatever we want to say about Jesus’s life, career, spirituality, and message, we must work through how the character of his life led to his running afoul of the Jerusalem and Roman leadership." Wow!!!

I remember 2.5 years ago, when I was invited to a DHS advisory meeting with senior officials, who stated they couldn’t proactively monitor *public* posts on social media for violent domestic extremism without a warrant due to the Privacy Act. Those were quaint times.

Big Tech is not on the side of liberty.

Do not miss the fact that it is only transit projects getting funding frozen and not highway projects, despite the fact that on pure costs alone, far more FHWA project money is flowing to DBE contractors!

A reader does a brilliant and necessary rewrite of the NYT's credulous article headlined: "Trump ‘Determined’ the U.S. Is Now in a War With Drug Cartels, Congress Is Told" criticalread.substack.com/p/trump-game...

Stephen Miller straight up murdered people in those boats off the coast of Venezuela and this is their attempt to make it legal.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

"Democrat Agencies" in the Trump admin!?!? Your agencies, ijiot!

Very Trump-era story. 1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum. 2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property! 3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property. 4. The person who did the right thing was fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

Groups including Progressive, State Farm and Travelers are pushing through changes that cut the size of payouts to policyholders on.ft.com/3WqLXpH

Apple removes ICE tracking apps after pressure by Trump administration reut.rs/4mIfztt

They dismembered a journalist. I think Chapelle thinks free speech means people have to laugh at unfunny jokes.

BREAKING: Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” More billionaires bending the knee.

Finally someone (Andrew Weissman) mentioned the fact that the Lutnick interview shows that Epstein was so obvious about his activities that it's impossible to believe that people didn't know what he was up to. Donald Trump was his best friend for 15 years.

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.

Hatch Act violation in plain sight.

"Women who served in the US military are pushing back against DefSec Hegseth's announcement that the requirements for combat roles will 'return to the highest male standard',saying the standards have always been the same for men and women." @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just wow! Thank you for helping us remember.

The news from the past few days is a stunning example of what happens when the state decides it wants to crush just one guy

Republicans Can End the Government Shutdown Today If Republicans don’t want a bipartisan deal, they can kill the filibuster. So why aren’t they? –– @billscher.bsky.social washingtonmonthly.com/2025/10/01/s...

Someone alert Rachel Bade. She hasn't heard about this.
