What a perfect time for America to have a president who doesn't understand even the simplest things about science, technology, or economics.

The trump-bought supreme court will hear a hugely consequential case on Wednesday —today— that will determine the future of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, the landmark civil rights law designed to prevent discrimination in voting nationwide.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

Trump ICE regime troops assaulted and abducted a 15 year old American girl and two other US teens, a 250+ pound regime agent set his knee on her neck during the violent attack.

"They were telling them they were U.S. citizens, and they didn't care."

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

There comes another lawsuit. I wonder how much of the ICEgestapo budget is going to go to paying settlements.

Great analysis from a photographers point of view on the Time magazine cover photo. Thanks to dairyfreecatlady on TikTok for breaking this down!

Spoiler alert: it’s all about the ear

Is this the same Mike Johnson who refuses to put up the plaque honoring the officers who defended the Capital against insurrectionists, and who fully supports the criminal who pardoned all those insurrectionists?

Fuck Mike Johnson.

If there are 6 people at a table & 5 of them are Nazis, & the 6th person agrees with everything they say and supports them in every possible way, there are 6 Nazis at the table.

You'd think a patriotic billionaire like tRump wouldn't mind paying them himself.

I had several ladybugs visit me yesterday while I was sitting on my verandah. The fall weather must have them antsy.

Still waiting for my check from protesting tRump during his first term.

So, if it's now legal to kill someone if you say they are drug smugglers, even if you present no evidence that they are, and I say that Dumold tRump, Stephen Miller, Russell Vought, Peter Thiel, Mike Johnson, fElon Musk, JD Vance, and a few others are smuggling drugs...

Except it was Biden's plan, not tRump's. Remember when Netanyahu met with tRump at Mar-a-lago and agreed with tRump to ignore the cease fire and Biden's plan? And now tRump's trying to steal credit for it, just like everything else.

Some lovely fall weather, between the rain storm, at my local #flyingminersDGC

A stand of cottonwood trees with yellow leaves.

On Saturday, we wear yellow.

Yellow has always meant courage and unity. This Saturday, we wear it for democracy.

Wear yellow. Show up. Show out.
