Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

The MAGA Murder Regime that now operates nationally has honed its horrific actions for decades in states by suppressing the voices & votes of Black Americans to facilitate taking their lives & freedoms.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

Yesterday marked the 3rd annual Network State conference (in Singapore). This is the venture capital cult that plans to kill democracy. Peter Thiel protégés Curtis Yarvin and Balaji Srinivasan had a polite fireside chat about exactly how the USA will die. Yeah, The Nerd Reich is a very true story!

Border Patrol agents tried to kill this protester at the Lochiel tree-sit blockade and there’s really no other way to read that.

The Border Chronicle@theborderchronicle.bsky.social

Last night in Lochiel, Arizona, heavily armed Border Patrol agents fired tear gas and pepper balls at protesters trying to stop a double border wall from cutting through the San Rafael Valley. Melissa del Bosque reports on what witnesses say happened next. Read full story🔗🦂:

I don't think Jamelle meant it this way but there is still this obsessive tendency to directionally aim all critique at Trump. Rubio is a demagogue and tyrant himself. He helped lead the charge on the illegal kidnapping of a foreign leader and an illegal war in Iran. He's pushing the same in Cuba.

Tonight in Lochiel, AZ, Border Patrol agents tied the legs together of a person who protested the building of the border wall by tying themselves to the truck. Then they let the driver drive away with them tied to the truck. No word on their condition. www.instagram.com/rally.forthe...

Tonight, community members gathered at the Marana Town Council meeting to speak out in opposition to an incoming DHS concentration camp that is likely being opened at the at the end of November. Council members ended up limiting public comment to just 10 people and turned away the rest. Shame.

I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

This morning WH correspondents for MS NOW and CNN were denied access to WH and had their press passes seized. This attack on press is absolutely antithetical to democracy. Thought: What would happen if entire WH press corps walked out in solidarity? Why give these fascists the oxygen of publicity?

Update, Day 49 of the tree-sit in Lochiel: three of the land defenders were arrested today. From press release: "Sheriffs appeared surprised to arrive to a scene of whimsical animals disrupting the construction."

If you defend the anti-trans stances of Amy Acton, James Talarico, or Josh Turek, you need to drop the fantasy that you're a good person. You're not an ally. You're not trustworthy. You don't hate fascism. You just hate not being in charge.

Open AI has hired Chuck Schumer's daughter to help them with government relations. I don’t like it one bit, and this kind of thing is a big part of the reason top Democrats have done such a poor job of turning the Trump family’s far more extreme corruption into an election issue.

Nice to see mainstream pick this up after my talk with Laurie Cantillo of Humane Borders. Media & Americans generally do not consider these deaths as ICE deaths but they should. The deaths are caused by the same policies, same politicians, same agencies. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The regime is paying local law enforcement 5 figure bounties to kidnap kids from our communities. Kids whose parents or caregivers they already abducted. They're building these concentration camps - that's the term for sites holding civilians without due process - to torture then traffic kids.
