We refuse to let President Trump treat civil servants and their livelihoods as political tools.

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

Arduous and Unequal: The Fight to Get FEMA Housing Assistance After Helene An analysis by ProPublica and The Assembly of the more rural counties in North Carolina hardest hit by Helene shows that the households that got the most aid tended to have the highest incomes.

ProPublica and @theassemblync.bsky.social found that in some North Carolina counties, homeowners with the highest incomes received two to three times as much FEMA housing assistance as those with lower incomes after Hurricane Helene.

“This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law. Defendants have made a range of arguments that . . risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power—to the detriment of this nation.” — Trump-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut (Oct. 4, 2025).

Robert Reich Trump’s Police State Propaganda

ICE and other federal agents conducted a violent, middle-of-the-night raid on an apartment building in Chicago — just days after Trump said the military should go after “the enemy within.” He and his cronies are building a police state piece by piece. https://youtu.be/5zrye_p-EPI?si=VinP3uxFa9_JiN8X

Trump’s regime is deploying unaccountable masked men into the hearts of our communities to spread fear.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Trump is sending California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. California will sue Trump over the move, which came hours after a judge blocked Trump's attempt to federalize Oregon Guard troops for deployment in Portland.

FACT FOCUS: Republicans shut down the government to give him more time to hide the #EPSTEIN_Files.

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term.

They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?

Hegseth to the Navy: "Your diversity is not your strength"

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Along with the rest of things on the endlessly long list of why this is FUBAR, apparently Trump also wants to make fish unaffordable by making it unsafe to go out in a boat.

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.
