We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Existing laws give the president great latitude in combating threats to national security — but Trump’s orders purporting to designate antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization” are an obvious abuse of this authority. bit.ly/4330Su2

Trump’s Orders Targeting Antifascism Aim to Criminalize Opposition

Purporting to go after “domestic terrorism,” the president presents an imagined left-wing conspiracy and authorizes punishments for even tenuous connections to speech the administration doesn’t like.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

We are watching Trump and his fascist regime get even more desperate from gerrymandering to investigating grassroots organizations that support Democrats. This is because Trump knows he's losing. His poll #s are awful and GOP is on road to big defeats. They need to cheat. And we need to fight back!

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...
