When the Supreme Court recently allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true: https://propub.li/47aawMD
50+: Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130: Agents also can arrest U.S. citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20: Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

My takeaway from the huge and peaceful No Kings protests. The American people who reject Trump's authoritarianism are strong and in the majority. Some of the country's institutions--the GOP, the SCOTUS, the business leadership--are weak and have been bullied or captured.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Democracy in action, Illinois.

Proud of our state for peacefully showing up and speaking out together in one voice to fight back against Donald Trump’s takeover of our democracy.

newjerseymonitor.com/2025/10/18/n... “Trump has a Supreme Court and a Republican Congress abdicating responsibility. If Jack Ciattarelli is governor, New Jersey is going to abdicate our responsibility, ICE is going to be roaming the streets, the National Guard is going to be roaming the streets,” 🤔🤨
Thousands protest Donald Trump at New Jersey No Kings rallies • New Jersey Monitor
Critics of President Donald Trump mobbed more than two dozen towns in the Garden State, from Newton down to Cape May Court House.

Trump in 2016 when Clinton called many of his supporters "deplorables": "The disdain that Hillary Clinton expressed toward millions of Americans disqualifies her from public service. You cannot run for president if you have such contempt in your heart for the American voter." (1)

I do as well.
A tweet from Alex Cole says: “My favorite No Kings protest sign.” The attached photo shows a protest crowd in front of a city building. One protester holds a large handmade sign in red and blue letters that reads: “NOT A PAID PROTESTER — I HATE TRUMP FOR FREE.” Other smaller protest signs and American flags are visible around them.
