@ddayen.bsky.social Makes sense. The Republican leadership's goal was never really to get "immigrants" out of the US. Their goal is to spread terror in order make it easier for mega-corporations to exploit and steal from immigrants (and from all of us).

@anatosaurus.bsky.social love it! Except I thought it said "Prop 5".

Trump says US hit another boat off Venezuela coast on Saturday U.S. forces hit another vessel allegedly carrying illegal drugs off the coast of Venezuela on Saturday evening, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday, adding that the U.S. would also start looking at drug trafficking occurring on land.

When it wasn't deploying troops to U.S. cities, accusing judges of terrorism, and politicizing the military this weekend, the Trump administration also carried out another extrajudicial execution in the Caribbean, murdering four people.

When historians write about the Republican Fascist era in the U.S., this weekend may well be the one that marks the beginning of the Second American Civil War. Unlike the First American Civil War, which officially began with secessionist military forces firing on a U.S. military fort, the Second […]

Trump seeks to call up 300 Illinois National Guard troops, Pritzker says The request to the Illinois National Guard comes after Pritzker said earlier this week the Department of Homeland Security requested deployment of 100 military troops to Illinois “for the protection of ICE personnel and facilities.”

“It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will,” Pritzker said. https://www.wbez.org/politics/2025/10/04/donald-trump-jb-pritzker-illinois-national-guard

Please amplify this demand. We need y'all. I was there. We were not in the road. ICE simply let loose on us to film themselves brutalizing and arresting protesters—and state police assisted them. They brought charges against scattered people to create a pretext for this inexcusable violence.
