Trump’s speech yesterday to American troops — seeking to justify the use of lethal force against anyone suspected of acting illegally, domestic or foreign — is his clearest statement yet about what’s really motivating him. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trump-just-announced-his-police-state

Ellis on the use of tear gas Saturday: "That was the instance, as well, where children were present and they were dressed up in their Halloween costumes. … Those kids were tear gassed on their way to celebrate Halloween in their local school parking lot."

I don't expect a kitten picture this late, but I'll still share that tomorrow we're dropping off two boxes of food to our local food bank, and at minimum two boxes every month of food and essentials moving forward. We don't have much but we'll do what we can to help! 👍

I'm prepared to donate two boxes of food this week, and every month will be donating whatever I can scrounge up. Food, essentials, money. I don't have a lot but my family is ready to help however we can. Community care is a priority.

None of us are ready for the systemic effects we're about to experience. Local governments have, at best, a Q Tip for the sociopolitical equivalent of a JHP GSW.

Here it comes, folks. I volunteer at a food pantry twice a month. We got slammed today - twice our usual number of households, a bunch we'd never seen before, and people lined up waiting for us to open. It's gonna get bad fast.

Republicans are willing to starve poor children to protect rich men who raped children.

It's just another form of child abuse.

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

I miss the old days when we would all agree that a drunken former Fox News host should not be allowed to unilaterally bomb boats in international waters.

I miss the days when folks would agree that without proof, that is a war crime.

4 more boats bombed today. More than 50 people dead.

I don't understand this. Members of the military are required to keep national defense information secret - no NDA needed.Unless it's about unlawful orders? I wish we could see a copy of the NDA. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Exclusive: US military officials required to sign NDAs tied to Latin America mission, sources say

U.S. military officials involved with President Donald Trump's expanding operations in Latin America have been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, three U.S. officials say, a development that raises new questions about a military buildup that Venezuela fears may lead to an invasion.

ICE is struggling to hire officers — even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers — but it's not getting nearly enough applicants.

It looks like most Americans simply don’t want to be ICE thugs.

Eric is a Missouri congressman.

He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.
