Portland And Beyond This afternoon, Donald Trump was asked about invoking the Insurrection Act: “I’d do it if it was necessary.

Attempts to deploy federalized National Guardsmen to Oregon, California, & Illinois, also, signs that Trump, or at least someone around him, is starting to think seriously about the Insurrection Act. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

So much thanks to @theguardian.com for the lie-checking here. It's ridiculous that I'm seeing reality brought into view from across the pond.

"... the Oregon Republican Party’s X account replied: “We’re not reporters, just bad memers.”

Liars. They are liars.

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

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

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

In ruling that the government cannot deploy the National Guard in Portland

A federal judge finds that president Trump lied

“this Court concludes that the President did not have a ‘colorable basis’ to..federalize the National Guard..The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts”

On August 27, 2025, Petitioner was arrested at the Carson Car Wash in Carson, California by uniformed Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) officers and unidentified plainclothes federal agents. See Pet. ¶¶ 16, 48; Santiago Decl. ¶ 3. During the arrest, Petitioner sustained severe leg injuries. See Pet. ¶ 48; Santiago Decl. ¶ 5. He was handcuffed and transported by CBP to the emergency room at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Carson, California. Id. At the hospital, Petitioner was admitted under a “blackout” procedure for patients in law-enforcement custody and was registered under the pseudonym “Har Maine UNK Thirteen.” Santiago Decl. ¶ 7. Federal agents remained at Petitioner’s bedside during admission, transfer to non-public treatment areas, and throughout his stay, keeping him handcuffed to his hospital bed. Id. ¶ 6. On or about August 27, 2025, CBP transferred custody of Petitioner to ICE. See Pet. ¶ 48. He remains detained at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center under the supervision of ICE, which has contracted with Spectrum Detention Services (“Spectrum”) to provide guards. See Santiago Decl. ¶ 8; Pet. ¶ 48. Since that date, two to four uniformed guards—either Spectrum employees or ICE agents—have been continuously stationed in Petitioner’s hospital room, monitoring him at all times, including while he sleeps, eats, uses the restroom, or receives medical care. See Santiago Decl. ¶¶ 9–10.

ICE has been paying private security for 24/7 guards to watch a guy with no record whose leg they fucked up so badly he has been in a hospital for over a month, and we wonder why people were handing Tom Homan bags of cash.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans.

ICE is terrorizing communities.

I'm pretty sure that there is another reason that Mike Johnson won't allow the vote
