The President pardoned members of his private militia after they failed to overturn an election; they, in turn, pledge their support to him and urge him to use them to police civil society.

Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, demolishing the White House, and blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies

Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care

Trump: No

Schumer: Okay

ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district.

Cover of The princess in black and the prince in pink by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale, and LeUyen Pham. It shows a young girl in black mask and superhero outfit dancing with a young boy in pink mask and pink hero outfit. Bands of words stripe the cover, saying "all kids have a right to exist" and "please let's show love for all kinds of kids"

This has been a really rough few days. I recently learned of a controversy around our book THE PRINCESS IN BLACK AND THE PRINCE IN PINK. Some were outraged that Deseret Book carried it (a chain of bookstores in the west). Deseret Book appears to have complied to their demands and removed it. 1/

New York Times editorial board has compiled "a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is what "not the odds, but the stakes" was all about.

During the 2024 campaign, those 12 markers could have been in place and operating to guide news coverage everywhere.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital.

"I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!"

The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck.

Houston, Texas.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

A screenshot of a post on X that reads: Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning: "God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks. "He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says. Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

Just disgusting.

The definition is worse than that. It divides people who actually have similar class goals. Let’s convince small business owners that they are the same as the wealthy so the wealthy can further consolidate their power while we fight about who belongs to what group.

are* not class differences.

Cultural and political differences and not class differences. Your attempts to try and define who is in what class consistently ignore the fact that class is distinct from these other things. It’s also okay to be nuanced and say that working class is hard to define in the modern era.

There’s no reason to arbitrarily define the working class in ways that further erodes potential solidarity amongst groups that could make meaningful change. Small business owners are distinct from labor that doesn’t mean they are the same as wealthy oligarchs.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Happy John Brown’s Raid day to all who celebrate

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

Neighbor shielded 7-year-old during South Shore federal raid: ‘I didn’t want them to take her’ During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.
