βJust vote blue in 2026β wonβt save us from American fascism. Both parties have been drifting to the right for years. Democrats and Republicans have aligned themselves with corporatocracy and oligarchy, respectively.
The department can releaseβor not releaseβwhatever it chooses. There is no meaningful enforcement mechanism. If DOJ withholds Epstein material related to Trump, the public will never know.
"If you're threatening Dems for reminding the military that they are obligated to not follow illegal orders, you're admitting your orders are illegal," one critic said of Trump's call for sedition charges against members of Congress.

worth noting: back in August, we hosted local artists celebrating sewers and treatment plants with a literary reading of their own workβ*within* a tunnel of ours, thx to @literarycleveland.bsky.social.
Read this thread. All of these ICE βfacilitiesβ are concentration camps. There is a reason they are not allowing oversight. Keep protesting this shit and informing people about this Nazi regime. Nuremberg Trials 2.0 canβt come fast enough.
In compliance with Trump's sanctions, YouTube has deleted the accounts of three Palestinian human rights groups, removing hundreds of videos that documented Israel's human rights violations.
βDetainees - arrested in recent weeks by immigration agents during Operation Midway Blitz - testified on Tuesday theyβve been kept in overcrowded holding cells, forced to stand or sleep on floors, with clogged or overflowing toilets and a lack of sufficient food.β
Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.
ICE is using facial recognition tech on US citizens without their consent, according to DHS documents obtained by 404 Media. Despite such software's unreliability, agents may ignore a citizen's birth certificate if the app says they're in the US illegally.
today our Westerly plant hosted a βtrick or treatmentβ plant tour for employees who had never visited before.
granted if youβre going to scare anything out of anyone, this is as good a place as any.
Weβre sharing this because everyone claimed Project 2025 wasnβt real, yet here we are. Trump has also been talking more openly about a third term, and Steve Bannon said thereβs a group actively working on it turns out, there might be one.
Trump stood by Israel after it killed 100+ Palestinians Tuesday in a bombing that blatantly violated the ceasefire. Middle East scholar Mouin Rabbani says the US is letting Israel "erode the terms of the agreement...until there is nothing left."
The Trump regime could tap into a $5 billion contingency fund to ensure people continue to be fed through SNAP.
They are refusing.
Republicans know the pain theyβre causing to Americansβthey do not care. The cruelty is the point.
Itβs hard to say what abuse, constitutional violation, or act of violence they wonβt enthusiastically push for, as long as itβs coming from the right side and being inflicted on an enemy.
π¨WTF: WHY IS NOBODY REPORTING ON THIS? Children were reportedly ZIP-TIED during a multi-agency law enforcement raid in Wilder, Idaho, as 100s of people were detained and police FIRED RUBBER BULLETS.

(π§΅) Iβm going to say some things that may cost me followers. Thatβs only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving Americaβbecause without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.
This kind of rhetoric by the Trump administration, echoed by the Machado camp, has helped legally justify actual military operations on both American and foreign soil.
You can joke about Pam Bondiβs ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but Iβm deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. β This should shake everyone to their core.
ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.

While lawmakers debate the calendar, a top GOP insurance regulator is pulling the fire alarm on ACA subsidies. If Congress doesn't act before the Nov. 1 enrollment deadline, 24 million Americans will face sticker shock so severe it will crash the entire marketplace.
Pritzker told us to take out our phones and record ICE. But what do we do when itβs his own state police force brutalizing protesters, pinning them in so that federal agents can beat them? Illinois state police were standing shoulder to shoulder with ICE at Broadview today.
ICE attacked the police chief in Broadview, IL. He says his officers are being tear-gassed by ICE and diverted from their duties. Over 20% of U.S. cops are veterans. Kristi Noem and Donald Trump's forces are anti-cop, anti-safety, and anti-American.
The Department of Homeland Security has begun targeting unaccompanied children in the immigration system with what they call a βvoluntary optionβ to return to their countries of origin. via @laist.com
