Nation At Risk - #DefundICE #RemoveRFK Jr ❌👑🧡

Don’t rely on memes. Unfortunately, be prepared to fight. If you don’t understand what cokes next, read history.

If you think I'm not alarmed, read this.

Ari Melber: Over the past three decades, far-right extremists led 220 attacks, compared to far-left extremists leading 42 attacks. That's roughly five times [more]

If you look at the body count... far-right extremist violence led ~520 deaths, the left-wing attacks resulted in the death of about 78.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi was left speechless while testifying about whether the FBI had found photos of Trump with naked, possibly underage girls among Epstein’s possessions.

You can’t talk seriously about gun violence in Chicago without talking about where the guns come from. www.pbump.net/o/the-red-st...

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

Judge Donna Scott Davenport oversaw a juvenile justice system in Rutherford County, TN, with a staggering history of throwing children in jail.

In one case, 11 Black children, as young as 8, were arrested for a crime that doesn't exist.

The “Moral Monsters” Among Us Immigrants are dying now. Will people of good conscience speak up?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but unprecedented numbers of immigrants are dying under the second Trump administration. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-moral-...

Finally, a clear message explaining what’s worth fighting for against Trump Republicans and their cruel, sociopathic cuts.

Phones were not tapped.

Call log records were legally obtained via court orders.

Court battles were fought over speech & debate protections for the suspected j6 co-conspirators in Congress.

6) Structure your hobbies as businesses
7) Buy Republicans and get them to change the tax laws
8) Tech billionaires get extra special tax breaks
9) The real standouts were the billionaires who reported such low incomes that they qualified for government assistance.
10) Putting assets in trusts

1) Don't sell stock. (They can borrow against their holdings.)
2) Tax free Roth IRAs
3) Creative ways to transform the wrong sort of income into the right kind

Immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest cit...

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.
 
American citizens are being detained & brutalized.
 
This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Oregon’s National Guard General: They’ll defend America and protect protesters.

That’s leadership we need more of. 🇺🇸

Oversight Attorney General Pam Bondi showed up for an oversight hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee today, and she brought her best Scarlett O’Hara demeanor along with her.

Congress continues to fail at providing the checks & balances the Constitution intends on the executive branch, but Senate Democrats are working hard to try and get it there. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

Emergency Triad: The Chicago Rubicon and What Comes Next We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Just have to take a beat to say that the people that have long warned about state violence and the militarization of law enforcement were right.

Wanna learn more about the pastor in this photo?

I talked to him yesterday.

He's currently part of a lawsuit against DHS, in part due to this exact moment: religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Margolin previously served as the security chief at Marine Base Quantico but was dismissed from that role after accidentally firing his weapon into the floor of his office.

They’re really excelling at selecting woefully underqualified individuals. The Justice Department has appointed retired Marine Corps Colonel Daren K. Margolin as the new head of its immigration court system.

BEHN: “Feed kids. Fix roads. And fund hospitals. Instead of handing out corporate tax breaks.”
