Simultaneously, 8 Dems capitualing is why ethnonationalism will ultimately come out on top.

We know the far right lies. There will most likely not be a vote on healthcare.

But the far right can sacrifice Trump if it means ultimate control. White supremacy will always eat itself for power.

Mike Johnson calling back The House means that he will swear in Grijalva. Far right ethnonationalists didn't think this through.

Not only did they defy the Constitution, starve people in an artificial famine, but to end the shutdown will pave the way on a vote to release the Epstein files.

Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

"While Border Patrol photographers snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”"

ICE/CBP have targeted Little Village for 10+ yrs. In just the last 3 wks, they've repeatedly (3x) used chemical weapons, aimed guns, & threatened residents, most recently this past weekend.

If you don’t get it yet.

I've posted about this before but I'm going to say it again: please please please stop livestreaming, posting, and sharing videos of ICE / CBP abductions, especially ones that share / don't blur or hide the faces of the people being abducted. 🧵

This story is chilling.

Cities across the US hate homeless & unhoused ppl, and enact terrible violence against them - forced evictions, destruction of property, criminalization, injury, murder.

I wish this were only a 45/47 problem but unfortunately both Repubs *and* Dems have brought us here.

A lot of Americans would love to talk about kitchen table issues, unfortunately the kitchen table is being used to barricade the front door because ICE is trying to illegally enter private property to arrest and detain them.

This is the 6th time feds have used chemical weapons against people in Chicago neighborhoods, and 4th since a federal judge issued a TRO against it:
1) Logan Square, 10/3
2) Brighton Park, 10/4
3) Albany Park, 10/12
4) East Side, 10/14
5) Little Village, yesterday
6) Little Village, today

Asian Americans push back against ICE and Trump administration Raids, check-ins, and third-country flights from the feds meet community's clemency campaigns, sanctuary defenses, and pod-mapping.

My latest piece on JoySauce. With all the terror and despair from 🧊, here are some solutions:
✨pod-mapping
✨advocating for clemency
✨know your rights trainings
✨Renewing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act of 1929

Read all that here!

And with no money and universal healthcare!

Federal judge to question ICE, CBP on federal agents' use of force, tear gas at hearing Monday Monday a judge will be questioning both ICE and Border Patrol leadership over tactics used during immigration crackdown.

A reminder in response to demands for reforms that keep expanding the scope & power of policing:

It's not simply that ICE wears face coverings & doesn't wear cameras. We can't fix a policing force created to disappear our neighbors by requiring more training, rules, or tech. It must be abolished.

There is no 'ceasefire' until Isr@el's military project is defunded.

“I don’t need their permission to exist, I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.”

We don’t get to choose our heroes. They show up and stand up and build foundations of greatness. There can be no doubt that Miss Major Griffin-Gracy was the hero we needed and she spent her whole life showing that to us. Yesterday, we lost a legend, a friend, and a mother. Rest in power.

EMERGENCY EPISODE: How Chicago Is Responding to ICE Raids w/Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez A look at what's happening in Chicago and in the 25th ward in response to the ICE raids and how Chicago residents are fighting back and helping one another in this crisis

⚠️ NEW EMERGENCY EP w/ Chicago’s Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25th Ward).

We talk frankly about ICE raids, federal agents violating court orders, calling out @GovPritzker, and how his office is protecting their community. Pls listen & share.

Listen: randykim.substack.com/p/emergency-...

I truly believe, in my heart of hearts, that mutual aid has to be the most critical movement work we can do right now.

We have to take care of each other when our government won't and the economy is about to crash.

We cannot organize if we aren't safe.

Trump and Hegseth Recount Familiar Partisan Complaints to Top Military Leaders

“I couldn’t be prouder of our highest-ranking leaders for maintaining an apolitical face under immense pressure,” said retired Army Maj. General Paul D. Eaton, who served in the Iraq war.
He added, “Pete Hegseth spent millions to fly in all of our generals and admirals to rant about facial hair”
