NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Russell Vought is the tool of a dangerous elite He wields his budget hammer not in service to the people or the Constitution, but for the billionaire class.

"Vought is an extremist; a tool of creepy billionaires in the corporate takeover of the U.S. government; and he seems to get unhealthy pleasure from depriving Americans of the government services their tax dollars are supposed to fund."

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

🚨After being tased and beaten by ICE, a man dies in a Chicago hospital. Date and location in following post. These are the horrors of 2025 and we cannot look away. 1/2

every asshole on this website loudly braying that elections either won’t happen or won’t be fair in 2026 had better be buying an inflatable costume and sturdy walking shoes for this saturday, because if truly believe that, you’re not gonna like what the next step is

World’s tiniest ripe currant tomato? 🤔

Netanyahu: I got away with murder.

Trump: I got away with rape.

Maybe all the people who got fired will sign up to protest for the paycheck now that the GOP sacked them.

Indeed. Nothing matters as long as they make $. That's all they care about.

They're all making money from it one way or the other. Their donors want it too 💰💰💰💰 their cronies are getting paid for the detention of immigrants by taxpayers. All of it 💰.

More than tested I would say.

Republicans don't want the shutdown to ever end. They want to completely destroy everything and then crown trump king for life.

🎯🎯 And they already got tax cuts for their rich af friends, so they don't care if the govt ever reopens.

We The People have gained what in the past 100 years....?

300+ million people are to scared to take a stand against billionaires/ trump/ regime, & DEMAND ARRESTS & CHANGES be made for We The People...

Then scratch their heads of why we are here... 😳🤦🏼

All Republicans want to make America into a dictatorship with trump being president for life. They want him to control everything, & they do everything they can to make it happen. Even the 6 Conservatives on the Robert's court want it. They don't think the Constitution is any good.

The Speaker of the House Is Abetting Authoritarianism Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

The American founders didn't expect Mike Johnson. www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House called No Kings protests “hate America rallies”. Nothing could be further from the truth. These are true patriots exercising 1st Amendment rights to say we do not want dictatorship by Trump. We don’t want unneeded military troops in our cities. We want democracy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — “Republican Speaker Mike Johnson predicted Monday the federal government shutdown may become the longest in history, saying he “won’t negotiate” with Democrats until they hit pause on their health care.” How and why are we the people allowing him to do this?? 😡🤷‍♀️

How quickly this is happening is terrifying.

How Did a Documentary on George Orwell Become the Scariest Movie of 2025? Orwell: 2+2=5 look at writer who gave us a modern dystopian classic—and examines how authoritarianism works that feels way too familiar.

I bet after the 18th bahahahahahah

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org
