Every time Trump escalates his attacks on our communities, the #NoKings movement grows stronger.

We, the millions of Americans who make up of this peaceful movement, are coming together on Oct. 18th to say: NO KINGS! app.sosha.ai/s/hblOESUV

Not so, says her own colleagues in the admin. “Despite efforts to broadly advertise agricultural jobs … the most recent data confirm that domestic applicants are not applying for agricultural positions in sufficient numbers,” the Labor Department said: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/trumps-own...

Trump’s Own Labor Department Admits ICE Is Hurting Farms, Agricultural Workers, And Our Wallets

Farmers “will imminently face severe challenges accessing a sufficient and legal supply of labor to sustain current food production levels,” the department quietly conceded.

The Trump admin’s new rule is likely just a scheme to crush wages for essential farm workers. It’s also a public admission _from the admin itself_ that mass deportation policy is hurting our food supply and our wallets.

You have to understand that there is NO accountability for ICE even in theory. You can't sue an ICE agent. They won't be criminally prosecuted for violating your rights. They won't be fired. THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ICE IS TO RUN FROM ICE.

The Pentagon’s new media policy blocks journalists from reporting out anything that isn’t approved by Pete Hegseth.

Pentagon reporters walked out of the building rather than sign on.

The freedom of the press has never been more crucial. Kudos to these journalists for protecting it.

The conservative argumentation in the Voting Rights Act is literally "You should let us draw Black districts out of existence because our white people are all racist."

It's a "Racist voters matter" take. And the six conservatives love it....

The GOP’s blaming Democrats for the shutdown. If Democrats actually had that much power, you’d have paid parental leave and free insulin, not furloughs.

Tomonobu Itagaki was probably the greatest action game director alive. Former head of Team Ninja, resurrected Ninja Gaiden, and created and directed Dead or Alive, which is an excellent fighting game, desite the baggage that people associate with it.

A huge loss for the industry. 58 is so young.
