The one good thing about the time we’re in is it *should* now make crystal clear for the doubters how the a significant faction of the Republican Party has cynically deployed “colorblindness” to further an explicitly racist agenda.

Big win for the neo-Confederacy. Redeemers 2.0 roll forward.

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

If only we had a news channel with the entertainment power of Fox News taking over people’s minds with the actual crisis people need to fear & do something about (climate change) instead of creating fear about made up evils (their own fellow Americans). @foxnewsradio.bsky.social could be Fix News

Record leap in CO2 fuels fears of accelerating global heating

Convicted Felon Donald Trump is interfering in an election, & threatening a country if the election doesn’t go his way.

Open your eyes & grow a spine, Republicans. This mob boss needs to be removed, arrested, convicted (again) & jailed.

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

A precondition for Republics to transition to autocracies is the politicization of the military. It is why the political & military leaders of the country have been so vigilant to keep partisanship away from it. But this admin is dismantling that concept. www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/p...

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

The ❌👑 rally is about truth, justice, & the American way. Peaceful protest, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, love your neighbor, with joy & embracing the Constitution & due process for all. Will be the largest grassroots protest in American history. Veterans & police too! www.nokings.org

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) says No Kings is “a rally of millions of people all over this country who believe in our Constitution, who believe in American freedom & are not going to let you and Donald Trump turn this country into an authoritarian society.” Everyone I know is going. All patriots!

(taps mic)

“Florida Keys Party”

“The upcoming No Kings has set off klaxons for Republican lawmakers…Some in party leadership are going further by branding it a pro-terrorism demonstration—an unambiguously false allegation meant to get ahead of a potentially massive protest against the president.”

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

In Chicago “more than 70% of…ICE detainees as of last month had no criminal convictions.” What they do have is US citizen children, parents, spouses, jobs, tax receipts for paying into SS even though they don’t collect, small businesses, community support. For shame! Turning US into a war zone. 👿💩

Sue them for endangerment. Outrageous

Yeah, that is a tear gas canister being fired toward the retreating couple holding the baby

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

🧵:

Last June, more than 5 million Americans joined #NoKings rallies across the country, protesting President Trump's authoritarianism. And this Saturday, with your help, it's going to be even bigger and better.

Currently a small group of protesters including a green alien, and an pink axolotl, are on Lexington and 25th to see if the fence will be removed tonight.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

A man named Nicky Crawford transformed a school bus into a mobile laundry service for the homeless called “Flowing with Blessings” He teamed up with Georgia Tech engineering students and created the bus, which provides free laundry, showers, haircuts & meals for the homelessness

Same time that Pritzker is telling city and state officials to start arresting and prosecuting federal officials for assaulting Illinois citizens.

OT1H, this is clearly really bad.

OTOH, our federalized design might end up being an absolute godsend.
