Any police officer who vows to quit depending on the results of an election is openly admitting that they are partisan, that they swore an oath but it was conditional, and that they believe the work they do as law enforcement is tied to a particular political party.

All of these are damning.

In a Chicagoland Suburb, Berwyn, IL, multiple ICE agents and a cameraman surround a resident who blew his horn and walked down the street in his own neighborhood. They demand his ID and they threatene... TikTok video by Ms RK

Masks. Armed. No insignia. No names. No warrants. But they will come up to an American citizen on the street and threaten him with arrest for peacefully exercising basic American rights.

I'd challenge historians of the American Revolution to articulate how things were worse than this in April 1775.

I don't know how deal with the growing amount Americans who just make things up and believe them, like not lies or denial, just people treating delusions and hallucinations as reality.

We are changing our antifa secret handshake to slap-slap-fistbump-fistbump. Then you snap your fingers once, eat everyone's pets, and make everyone within 50' instantly become trans. Pass it along.

I guess I shouldn't be *surprised* but it is making my head spin that the feds have shot two people, with live rounds, killing one of them, in Chicagoland in recent weeks, and in both cases they were very clearly found to be lying about what happened, and essentially nothing is happening about it.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

If you detain a small child with zip ties, you are subhuman. Your soul is lost and you will die alone.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

you know, in more authoritarian countries, seeing that secdef is drunk by 10am and the president is a doddering old man who can't hold a train of thought for 30 seconds is the exact kind of things that gives colonels Big Ideas

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

so when do we get our huge national news cycle about how MAGA needs to turn down the rhetoric because of political violence? we’re waiting

Someone has to drag the US out of the hellscape of Trumpism. Who better than AOC? | Arwa Mahdawi Yes, the Democratic congresswoman is flawed – but she’s a fighter. Let’s not write her off as too young or too female, writes Arwa Mahdawi

Opinion article: Someone has to drag the US out of the hellscape of Trumpism. Who better than AOC?

AOC is a fighter. Let’s not write her off as too young or too female.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Unless you're a white nationalist.

You can die for that shit your own self.

The left was derided for promoting a cancel culture because they went after predators and those who abused their wealth and power.

The right is canceling anyone who dares speak truth to power.

Both sides are not remotely the same.

You couldn’t make Jimmy Kimmel Live! today.

Pam Bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism. The right cannot think coherently so instead of making their own studies, they censor legitimate ones.

But don't worry Pam, I saved it for you web.archive.org/web/20250911...

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

The reason for the anger at posting Kirk’s words is simply that we are entering a fascistic world where the truth is dangerous and lies become facts.

It is literally how fascism sustains itself. Turning bigots into martyrs and innocent people into criminals. And that’s why saying the truth matters.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

What I'm looking for in the 2028 primary is someone who will put Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem in jail, and so far, that's Pritzker

American Oversight Obtains Startling DHS Admission: It No Longer Preserves Text Messages for Noem, Other Top Officials - American Oversight DHS decision to halt text message retention coincided with timing of scrutiny over Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wrongful deportation.

Every day we get a new scandal that should be career-ending for people working at the highest levels of government but we see this stuff so often the public barely flinches.

Today, we learn DHS isn't keeping text message records for its leaders
