Mike Johnson refusing to seat a Latina Congresswoman in a Latino/a district, apparently to help his white man friend in the files of an international sex trafficker, is racism & sexism at work & if we had a more diverse legacy media they’d be saying this.

Those radical left antifa!! 🤣

Michigan Avenue right now.

Tweet from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick quoting Laura N. Rodríguez Presa. Aaron’s comment: “DHS is an escalation spiral; the more they do things like this, the more people on the ground push back... and I'm deeply worried what the ultimate result will be.” Laura’s tweet reads: “A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them... Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents ICE activity, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.” Attached photo shows a federal agent inside a vehicle pointing a rifle out of the driver’s side window.

This is well said. Trump and Noem need to back off before we have another Kent State tragedy.

Homeland Security @DHSgov We're having an All Night Revival Still frame from a video: Painfully normal people zip tied on the side of the road, sitting on a guardrail in a row 14:30 07 Oct 25 2.1M Views 5 Reposts 940 Quotes 42.2K 2,584 Bookmarks

More propaganda with painfully normal people zip-tied at the side of the road please, this will for sure convince the American people that you're the good guys

Way to call Trump’s bluff, Gov. Pritzker.

The president threatening to have Chicago’s mayor and Illinois’ governor arrested is serious and bad, not least since it’s because they’re following the law instead of helping Trump break it.

But his capacity is limited. He’s hoping the bluster is enough.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Never forget this day.

Schumer: That issue that MAGA Mike keeps talking about—illegal immigrants getting health care. It’s an effing lie. The law says that federal dollars cannot go to illegal immigrants under Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA.

And I said that to him in the room. I said, You’re lying. He smirked.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Again, Kavanaugh justified racial profiling by claiming that this doesn't happen--a justification that becomes more preposterous with each passing day as Trump's goons terrorize more people based on the color of their skin

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Most journalism this week has been like, "Legal experts unsure whether Trump shooting man in middle of 5th Avenue is murder..."

Again, this is what the SCOTUS has sanctioned. On Sept. 10th @chrislhayes.bsky.social and I talked about Justice Kavanaugh’s opinion white-washing ICE raids in Noem v. Vazquez Perdomo. His fact-free opinion was either naive, lazy, or sinister. The Trump Admin read it as a green light.

INSANITY!

This is fascism.

Thread:

Trump sent 20 billion to Argentina for a bailout.

China brokered a deal to quit buying American soybeans and buy beans from Argentina.

Trump bailed out the country that swept the knees of American farmers.

The Art of the Deal…

“‘My building is shaking. So, I'm like, “What is that?” Then I look out the window, it's a Blackhawk helicopter,’ said witness Dr. Alii Muhammad.”

Raiding a Chicago apartment building from above as if they were on a mission to capture Osama bin Laden. Absolutely demented.

Unfit for Office Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

"One clinical psychologist [said] he considers Trump such a 'classic' pathological narcissist that he is actually 'archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example' of the characteristics of the disorder he displays."

A screenshot of an X post by Q. Anthony Ali (@NobleQAli , 12h ago) featuring a black-and-white historical image of a person lying on the ground while others, including a woman kneeling and several standing figures, are around them in what appears to be a park or open area. Below this, a reply by Antonio Benetto (@Tony_Benetto , 1d ago) to @drmistercody states: "I don't believe US troops will fire on American citizens."

History has many painful lessons.

Well, this aged well. Unfortunately.

(Except for the part where @jimmykimmel.com said he thought I was higher up on Donald Trump's enemies list than he was.)

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Can anyone provide a link that documents Vance saying this? (I would certainly believe it, but if I repost it, I need to know the source.). Thanks!

Now I can’t sleep.
