A press release dated October 7, 2025, with the headline: “Attorney General Ken Paxton Launches Undercover Operations to Infiltrate and Uproot Leftist Terror Cells in Texas After Increased Political Violence.” The statement claims rising left-wing violence, referencing the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and outlines Paxton’s directive for undercover investigations. A highlighted quote from Paxton reads: “Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people.” The text further accuses the radical Left of fostering political violence, referencing incidents involving Antifa-like groups and a supposed assassin tied to transgender movements. It also notes that President Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, with Paxton vowing sweeping investigations into radical leftist groups.

In a press release, Texas Attorney General calls "transgenderism" a "corrupted ideology" that is "a cancer on our culture."

This is openly genocidal rhetoric about trans people from a sitting AG.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Please ALWAYS remember that SSDI/SSI & Spouse/Children Survivors in ADDITION to Seniors RECEIVE Social Security Benefits. I hear about it in reporting as Seniors & while they make up the majority of beneficiaries, we count too. It's IMPORTANT to my disability population that we're seen. Thank you.🙏💜

When Trump is about to do something awful, he signals ahead so that people can get acclimated to the idea. It reduces the likelihood of a blow up from people due to the shock.

Brace yourselves America. You put him in power. Get ready for the road to fascism to accelerate at a fast pace.

USA News: Trump erwägt Anwendung von „Aufstandsgesetz“ für Portland Nachdem ihm ein Gericht zweimal den Einsatz der Nationalgarde untersagt hat, will der US-Präsident so die Entsendung der Soldaten legitimieren.

Trump says he will not hesitate to invoke the Insurrection Act to secure the military occupation of Portland and Chicago if pesky federal judges keep making problems for him. His intention to rule as a dictator have never been more clearcut. www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/usa-...

New details on Border Patrol shooting, alleged vehicle ramming in Brighton Park revealed in court Prosecutors said two Chicagoans had been following a vehicle being driven by Border Patrol agents for 20-30 minutes before the alleged ramming took place.

ICE's lies keep piling up.
ICE: 10 cars rammed ICE
Video shows: No cars rammed ICE
ICE: She boxed ICE in
Video: ICE boxed her in
ICE: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle
ICE: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired
There should be some punishment for this firehose of lies.

ICE agents are reportedly creeping around high schools in Chicago. And because they are wearing masks, often not wearing uniforms and using unmarked vehicles this means that ANYONE could show up dressed like this and disappear kids off the streets. This is especially dangerous

Trump open to invoking the Insurrection Act The comments came a day after a federal judge blocked the president from sending National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.

Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act and send the National Guard to our cities — completely ignoring federal judges’ orders.

This is authoritarianism — and from someone who actually incited an insurrection on Jan 6th.

Trump floats Insurrection Act use amid National Guard standoff with states The extreme presidential power hasn't been used without state consent in over 60 years.

President Trump suggested today he may use the Insurrection Act if courts continue to bar him from deploying the National Guard to U.S. cities.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

‘They Need to Suffer’: Inside Trump’s War on Dissent

After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump expanded his war on free speech, the left, and ordinary Americans.

It’s going to get worse.

If you try to tell me our congressional democrats and other national leaders are talking about trump's human rights violations, better bring plenty of receipts. I'm not hearing shit and I'm actively looking for it.

There are a few exceptions but they're being drowned out by the silence.
