9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

The fact that Miller and Rubio can make speeches that pull direct themes from Hitler and Himler writings should tell us everything we need to know about the current threat to American Democracy. #WakeUpAmerica @hcrichardson.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Fonda: This isn’t the first time that Americans’ rights have come under attack. But this time, what is really different from the last century is that the attacks are coming from every part of the government: the executive, the legislative, and the Supreme Court.

‼️THE SOUTH WILL NOT BE SILENCED‼️ Today’s march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge is a reminder that voting rights were paid for in blood. And now those same rights are under attack again. Next: Montgomery #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

Wesley powers, and maybe veteran who served in combat was sprayed with chemical agents, brutalized and then detained in overcrowded & horrific conditions and denied his rights. If this can happen to him, it can happen to any of us! Call your 2 Senators & your Congressional rep at 202-224-3121. 🧵

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Michigan farmers stand to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in exports to China this year thanks to Donald Trump. And at the same time, his reckless trade war is driving up the costs on everything they need to run their farms. www.npr.org/2025/10/16/n...

npr.orgAmerican farmers are hurting. Trump's trade war is making it worseFarmers are struggling this fall despite a bountiful harvest. Production costs are high, crop prices are low and the trade war has closed off one of their biggest markets.

The Trump Administration made a deal with El Salvador that threatened years of U.S. law enforcement work to fight MS-13 so they could send people to CECOT—one of the most inhumane prisons in the world.

Exclusive: In order to deport immigrants to El Salvador’s most notorious prison, Secretary of State Marco Rubio promised President Nayib Bukele to betray arrangements protecting some U.S. informants.

Either Mike Johnson doesn't read the news or he's lying. He should read this story about a 10 year old US citizen with brain cancer who you and Trump deported away from her doctors. This is what your "mass deportations" are doing.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging. We’re urging California airports to stand firm against this unlawful federal pressure and refrain from airing the video.

Thanks to everyone for always keeping those cameras rolling and sharing the videos online. Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will now be required to wear body cameras, following a ruling by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis.
