A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

'Happy Halloween!': DHS spokeswoman responds to report of immigration agents wearing horror masks in L.A. The story by a local news site featured images posted to social media showing what the outlet says were agents in unmarked cars donning Chucky and Momo masks.

ICE wearing Halloween masks in LA because they think it’s funny to terrorize children while they are trick or treating. Real men don’t harass and bully children. These people are really sick.

Top 10 US billionaires’ collective wealth grew by $698bn in past year – report Oxfam warns Trump policies risk driving inequality to new heights – but Democrats have also exacerbated wealth gap

$698 Billion. That’s how much more wealth the 10 wealthiest Americans have just this year, as SNAP funds remain frozen. #unconscionable www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In Big Win for Voters and Democrats, Court Blocks Trump’s Demand for Voter ID on Registration Form Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats won a major legal victory Friday as a federal district court permanently enjoined the U.S. Election Assistance Commission from implementing the provision in Donald Trump’s executive order demanding a proof-of-citizenship requirement on the federal voter registration form.

Obviously!

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

“.. A top US military official has ordered the national guards of all 50 US states .. to form ‘quick reaction forces’ trained in ‘riot control’, including use of batons, body shields, Tasers and pepper spray, according to an internal Pentagon directive ..”

- Respected, reliable news sources have reported on US citizens being arrested or detained in Chicago.

- We know US citizens who have been arrested or detained in Chicago and suburbs.

Kristi Noem is lying - deliberately & egregiously.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This is not “America First”

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute learned that the Government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade," dated April 25, 1987. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter. We encourage you to watch President Reagan's unedited video on our YouTube channel.

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.

The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

Whether you agree or not, media concentration in a few hands raises real questions about influence, bias, and accountability.

Increasing tariffs over an ad dispute is reckless. Trade policy shouldn’t be driven by emotion or misinformation.

The Leahy Law is pure propaganda, killing it off will result to bad outcomes.

US axes website for reporting human rights abuses by US-armed foreign forces The Human Rights Reporting Gateway acted as a formal "tip line" to the US government.

The Leahy law is being killed off. "The US State Department has removed an online portal for reporting alleged human rights violations by foreign military units supplied with American weapons." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Pregnant women describe miscarrying and bleeding out while in ICE custody, advocates say The ACLU and other groups are pressing for ICE to identify and release all pregnant women in custody and to stop detaining anyone known to be pregnant, postpartum or nursing.

Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
