My name is Loon, and I am #Iowas #CaptainAmerica. When I'm not carrying the shield or at my day job, I'm volunteering as a Street Medic. I'm a retired firefighter paramedic, an Air Force wife and mother, and Army sister and granddaughter.

#antifascist always.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

It's amazing how all those people who were elected to run the country know so little about running the country.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

Gosh, if only there was a group of people out there trained in directing traffic who could help protesters cross the road. Perhaps they could even wear matching uniforms and be paid by the city to ensure public safety.

“It has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street,” Thompson said in a statement on Monday. “This new measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.”

I’m not a lawyer but that sounds an awful lot like admission of both “mens rea” and “actus reus” to me.

Threatening to arrest and drag you handcuffed to a courtroom is a clear violation of your 1st amendment rights. Contact an attorney and file a federal tort claims act notice. 90 days after that you can file suit. The Trump admin must be held accountable for every civil rights violation.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

Per WSJ, the Trump regime and Bannon are bragging they’re “ruling Congress with an iron fist” and that it is “largely ceremonial” like the Russian Duma.

Shameful. Not what the founders intended. 🇺🇸 @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @AndyOgles

This is the way to put an end to Trump & Stephen Miller’s BS claim Blue Cities are war zones being burned to the ground by ANTIFA

Trump & Miller are looking for an incident to invoke the Insurrection Act

Hi! I'm Loon, and I'm a local activist as well as a zine artist!

My hours at work have been reduced, so where I usually buy stuff for my medic kit out of my own pocket, I can't afford to at the moment, and my (street medic) kit is woefully lacking.

John Oliver sounded the alarm this week on how secret donations to presidential libraries provide cover for bribery. We couldn’t agree more.

It’s time to close the library loophole — and you can help.

Read this story and much more in our secrecy newsletter, The Classifieds.

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."
