The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

If they’re not lying and actually using this to keep the military from getting pissed off enough to overthrow them, they’ll probably pocket the rest. They get bribed, the military gets bribed, and everyone else gets fucked over until the government reopens, whenever that is.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

For real, they're going to do it all over again. My hopes are that, this time, people in leadership positions don't just roll over and accept it. They need to fight it if free and fair elections and the democratic process actually matters to them.

The Alameda Coast Guard shooting raises questions and sparks conspiracies. People are saying Coast Guard fired at either protesters or ICE.
But reports don’t confirm the driver was either.

This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic Party. It should mark the birth of the people’s Democratic Party. Zohran Mamdani and others like him are its future. Some thoughts...

The federal government shutdown has reached a tipping point. On November 1, people across the United States will lose access to food assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP. The choice by the USDA to not access the $6 billion contingency reserve is deliberate.

It's telling that Hakeem Jeffries' endorsement of Zohran Mamdani sounds more like a concession speech

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 4h

Jeffries endorses Mamdani with the enthusiasm of a pout and crossed arms lol

In a statement to The New York Times, Mr. Jeffries acknowledged that the two men had “areas of principled disagreement.” But he said that Mr. Mamdani had won “a free and fair election” in the Democratic primary and emphasized that the party needed to unite in the face of an “existential” threat from President Trump.
“Zohran Mamdani has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers, including those who do not support his candidacy,” Mr. Jeffries wrote.
He added: “In that spirit, I support him and the entire citywide Democratic ticket in the general election.”

As a resident of New Jersey, I implore all those in this state to vote for Mikie Sherrill. We need to keep this state blue, cause if Jack Ciattarelli wins, he will be nothing more than another rubber stamp for Trump to further his mission of eroding our democracy. Early voting starts tomorrow.

The cynical part of my brain sees this as Jeffries wanting big headlines by endorsing him right before the election, so he's noticed now instead of people forgetting from months ago. And because DC centrist brains are broken, he sees this as smart politics not being a hold out hurting a campaign.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
