Then they let you do anything once you're a president.

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up. Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

Amazing Emergency Naked Ride. Here’s the moment thousands of riders rolled through the protests at the ICE facility and cheers erupted. 😮💯

"Convict leasing" which is modern form human slavery.

I'm confused, which are the violent extremists again?

Fill the streets with FROGTIFA #FrogICE

And anyone who didn't attend June #NoKIngs protest missed a great opportunity to feel some healing community support — knowing we're all in this together. Comradery and common ground compassion so necessary now. I highly recommend.

interesting that justice barrett thinks it's appropriate for a judge to appear on a transparently partisan propaganda network like FNC

On a weekend in mid-August, hundreds of inmates at a minimum-security prison in Bryan, Texas, were locked down during their usual time for strolling the grassy campus and visiting with family and friends. All except one: Ghislaine Maxwell, the 63-year-old associate of Jeffrey Epstein convicted for her role in helping him sexually abuse underage teens. While her fellow inmates were confined to their dormitories after breakfast, Maxwell met with several visitors in the federal prison camp’s chapel, according to people familiar with the matter. Less than three weeks earlier, the Justice Department had moved Maxwell to Federal Prison Camp Bryan from a higher-security facility in Tallahassee, Fla. Under Federal Bureau of Prisons rules, prisoners with sex-crime convictions like Maxwell’s don’t ordinarily qualify to serve their time in such camps. The transfer followed an interview with senior Justice Department official Todd Blanche during which Maxwell said she had never seen President Trump, during his long association with Epstein, doing anything inappropriate or illegal. Maxwell’s unexpected arrival upset the camp’s usually relaxed atmosphere, leading to more frequent lockdowns, the addition of armed guards and other changes. Current and former inmates said in interviews that Maxwell appeared to receive unusually favorable treatment at times, sparking resentment from other inmates.

The worst living child rapist treated like an exiled queen while they bust the windows of moms in line to pick up their third graders.

And fascism comes from sociopathy.

Ilyasah Shabazz didn’t want to look at the AI-generated videos of her father, Malcolm X. The seemingly realistic clips — made by OpenAI’s new video-maker Sora 2 — show the legendary civil rights activist making crude jokes, wrestling with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and talking about defecating on himself.

“It is deeply disrespectful and hurtful to see my father’s image used in such a cavalier and insensitive manner when he dedicated his life to truth,” Shabazz, whose father was assassinated in front of her in 1965 when she was 2, told The Washington Post. She questioned why the developers were not acting “with the same morality, conscience, and care … that they’d want for their own families.”

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

So that makes at least 4 J6ers creeping on PDX ICE protests.

Fulfer, David Medina, Katie Daviscourt & Quincey Franklin.

It's been surreal watching them all code switch to calling anti-ICE protestors "insurrectionists" as soon as they realized it was the magic police state button.

FUN FACT: A member of the Republican Party, Kevin Kiley serves as CA-3 rep since 2023. He was one of 53 candidates to replace California governor Gavin Newsom in the John Cox funded recall election in September 2021.

Formed from slave hunters and union busters American police have always been the servants of capital for its minority control.

So that Israel then has the excuse to occupy those areas too.

Boy, it's like Netanyahu propped up Hamas as a partner to deny anything but his ethnic cleansing.

Live from the Emergency Naked Bike Ride 🚲 where the crowd hase just erupted in cheers with the arrival of the Unipipier

Dasha Burns to Trump after he dissed her and didn't know who she was: "Sir, talk to Karoline. She'll vouch for me."

Fascists turn on each other first to demonstrate that required intimidation even faster.

Well-known right-wing influencers duped to work for covert Russian operation, U.S. prosecutors say The accusations mark the third straight presidential election in which U.S. authorities have unveiled politically charged details about the Kremlin's attempted interference in U.S. politics.

Tweet from Congressman Randy Fine: "Muslims calling for the destruction of Israel — after the peace deal. It was never about Gaza. Why did the UK allow these demons in? We must ban Sharia in the United States and deport them ALL before this becomes us. Religion of peace."

United States Congressman calls for the deportation of all Muslims from the US.

All Jewish groups should join together to denounce this.

We're FROGTIFA or AMPHIFA now.

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the “ancient art of lying” and manipulation.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”
