Trump's mass deportation operation has mirrored white nationalist Martin Sellner's policy proposal for remigration in Europe. The end goal is the erasure of un-American (non-white) culture. Read more:

Homeland Security's decision to use "remigrate" as a warning to immigrants is part of the Trump administration's ongoing implementation of far-right extremist policy. "Remigration" is a call for ethnic cleansing stemming from neo-Nazis and the Identitarian movement in Europe.

It’s been a while since we have posted a newsletter. But we hope you will take the time to read our analysis of why the Portland Frog is important and how we can capitalize on the psychological victory he and his army of inflatable friends delivered this last week.

Q: Why did you authorize the CIA to go into Venezuela?

TRUMP: They have emptied their prisons into the US. Prisoners from mental institutions, insane asylums ...

🧵 A pro-MAGA bot network on X/Twitter that previously aided Trump to secure a 2nd term has just started helping him to retain power.

Virginia elections, a tuneup for the 2026 midterms, are increasingly becoming a tight race. And bots are supposed to support 🔴GOP in the 4 weeks left.

Attorneys for the DOJ argue Portland's ICE building closed for 22 days this summer, halting operations. Reporting by @troywb.bsky.social and @tonyschick.bsky.social shows that's... not exactly accurate.

Portland’s ICE building closed for 22 days this summer, but immigration arrests and detentions hardly slowed

Justice Department attorneys argue the facility was “inoperable.” Some public functions were halted. Bookings were not.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

4/ DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin called the protesters "Antifa domestic terrorists and anti-ICE rioters." She referenced a naked die-in as an "unsightly tactic" that will not be tolerated or slow down ICE actions. A die-in is a legal, nonviolent, and common protest tactic.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.
