So ugh did miller just say they have plenary power to do as they please in regards to deploying troops domestically? If so that is wildly dangerous and shows their goal is absolute power without check.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

They don’t even seem to need a pretext much of the time

The Federal Election Commission is down to 2 members. So its work is at a standstill The Federal Election Commission, which regulates campaign finance, has lost another member. But the FEC has actually been without a quorum for months, leaving the agency unable to do much of its work.

That makes sense. I didn’t catch that they continued to back up after he was at the blue line.

I think it’s cognitive dissonance. Their worldview tells them that people will be scared of them and that the enemy is both weak and strong/evil. They never expected to be met with a relaxed clown and they can’t process it. They feel fear and hesitation because their entire worldview is breaking.

I love the tactic of confusion and absurdity. Excellent tactic.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

The social reproduction of fascism in place of democracy is accelerating at light speed as schools push into overt indoctrination

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

People need to press Governor Pritzker about whether he’s weighed a declaration of emergency for this crisis and if not why. www.ilga.gov/Legislation/...

They’ll just go after the people who don’t have domiciles to retreat to. Not that that means it’s not a good idea, just that protection for the most vulnerable neighbors also needs to be a part of the plan.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

Neoliberalism is the soil from which American fascism was born and has matured into the monster it is today. To topple American fascism we must understsnd it is being adtroturfed by the same intrestes stealing our futures for their profit due to cimate collapse heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

When we are faced with so much unreality it’s helpful to hear you say the obvious truth because it can be hard to hang on to sanity.

It’s fascinating that Starbucks remains this cultural icon and battleground to conservatives, an emblem of liberal hipsters from Seattle or whatever, despite how much perception of the brand has changed among the rest of the public.

Ice threatens federal assault charges against anyone who attacks its officers Agency on X also says people who assault officers will face felony ‘prosecution to the fullest extent of the law’

(DHS) has expanded its definition of threats to include filming Ice operations. Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, defined “violence” in July as ‘anything that threatens [DHS agents] and their safety. It is doxing them. It is videotaping them where they’re at.’”

I apologize. I thought you were agreeing with the OP that Trump is flailing and Democracy is not dead. I the rule of law is severely corroded and there is incredible danger at hand which doesn’t mean there isn’t hope. OP read as insufficiently alarmed to me.

It’s equally bad to take the tack that he’s incompetent and flailing and so we don’t need to worry, he’ll die soon or get voted out. Trump isn’t the issue, fascism is rising globally. We can resist it. There is hope. But we need to see it for what it is.

People don’t like it when I say it, but the main place you’ll be pressured to participate in fascism is work. Especially if you work in a battleground space like government or academia.

None of your weekend organizing can ever make up for active participation in the fascist project at your day job.

Hi

ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday

Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere

If you have any national platform at all

Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

It’s mostly the septum ring, tho

My friend lives in SLC and is a pretty standard issue liberal leaning center. She drives a Prius and carries steel straws. She composts. She has a septum ring. Those facts make her coworkers think she is the most leftist person they have ever met. I wouldn’t even qualify her as a progressive.

New Bill Would Give Marco Rubio “Thought Police” Power to Revoke U.S. Passports Secretary of State Marco Rubio has already sought to punish immigrants for speech. New legislation might let him revoke passports from U.S. citizens.

A hallmark of a totalitarian and genocidal dictatorship is the inability to escape.

The federal government is laying the infrastructure for mass repression and fascist violence at an accelerating pace and scale. theintercept.com/2025/09/13/m...
