So…the MOST THREATENING thing he’s seen is naked bicyclists, and THAT justifies all the violence from ICE?!

The baseless indictment of New York AG Letitia James is simply another part of the 47 regimes corruption of our justice system using it against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

It’s also another reason to turnout this Saturday to say
No Dictators
No Autocrats
#NoKings

This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.

Pentagon beat reporters have been handing in their press passes all day long today. It is one of the most striking examples of news media solidarity we've seen this year.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

I think odds of a national General Strike happening are between 0 and -10.
BUT- what about an economic slowdown- a grey out? Cut back spending to absolute essentials. Cancel streaming services- get Hoopla, Kanopy, Libby from library. Buy 2nd hand, barter, look into Buy Nothing, Freecycle groups.

I think one of the biggest cleavages in our society that no one talks about is the division between those that think powerful people must be held to a higher standard than non-powerful people and those who think powerful people should be flattered and sucked up to.

Understand.

This country is on track to make sure Black people can never vote or be represented again. It’s happening.

Voting Rights is the root of EVERYTHING. Voting rights are about to END.

I know there’s a lot going on. But without Voting Rights… this country ENDS.
