Trump wants us to believe that Portland is full of chaos and riots because if he can get the American people to believe there are riots, he can say there's a rebellion and use that as an excuse to tighten his authoritarian grip.

We need to stay strong and not take Trump's bait!

If I see as much as a single video edit I’m suing for $10 billion. Your move, CBS.

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren I want to send America's seniors an extra $200 a month.

Donald Trump is sending $40 billion to Argentina. I want to send America's seniors an extra $200 a month.

The cost of everything from groceries to utilities to health care is up.

My new bill is an emergency lifeline for seniors struggling to survive in Trump's economy.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

Not to mention they can use the Nuclear Option at any time to change the rules and pass the bill with no Democrats.

"We'll negotiate with you after you sign the contract".
Yeah, go fuck yourself.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Pelosi Is Now Calling for The Arrest of ICE Agents Nancy Pelosi calls for the arrest of ICE agents in California, escalating tensions over immigration enforcement and state laws.

In a sharp escalation of the long-simmering clash between federal immigration enforcers and state officials, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called for local law enforcement in California to arrest ICE agents if they violate state laws during upcoming raids in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Powell: "Higher tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods, resulting in higher overall inflation."

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

With great power comes great responsibility. Republicans are in charge right now. They may not have 60 votes, but they hold the gavel, and that means it’s on them to negotiate.

You cannot keep the government closed, refuse to talk, and then blame Democrats for the mess you created.

In this case, Republicans who are not aligned with Trump, Vought, Vance, Johnson's plan should open the House and vote Johnson out of the Speaker's chair. This attempt to make Trump a king must be stopped.

“We see walls rising again, between nations, between religions, even between neighbors. The noise of conflict, the wounds of poverty, and the cry of the Earth remind us how fragile humanity remains.

“We must help our people to break free from the chains of prejudice, anger, and hatred.” — Pope Leo

A year ago, I launched my book #OnFreedom in a war zone – in Kharkiv, Ukraine, 35 seconds from Russian artillery. Today, I'm launching the paperback in Portland, Oregon. Which is NOT a war zone. There is a difference in the real world between what's a war and what is not, and between truth and lies.

Thanksgiving is less than a month away, and #47 is playing politics with 42 million Americans' holiday meals. Suspending SNAP benefits to punish poor people for being poor. People do not choose to be poor. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VOTEBLUE2025

Trump has asserted dominion over the economy and insinuated his administration into American capitalism so that our great businesses are dependent on and subject to the government, as they are in communist and socialist nations.

(around the Spotify logo) GET ICE OUT OF SPOTIFY ICE DOESN’T NEED A PLAYLIST. IT NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

@governorwalz.mn.gov is right: This shutdown is owned by Republicans. They're enabling an "authoritarian president" and focusing on nonsense like "a damn ballroom" while people are "gonna be lined up out here to get food", including vets and military families.

Don't lose the plot.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Pope Leo vs. the Empire of Lies: The Long Game to Defeat Trumpism He’s already rebuked immigration crackdowns and blasted the “logic of exclusion” fueling rising nationalism. Now, as the youngest pope in 35 years, Leo is poised to help defeat Trumpism for good.

Pope Leo is quietly mounting a long-term, moral confrontation with American authoritarianism — and history suggests he knows exactly what he’s doing.

Here’s how he can defeat Trump’s dictatorship of lies once and for all.

YouTube video by Oregon Public Broadcasting Federal officers escalate tactics against ICE protesters in Portland

I finally found the video made by Oregon public broadcasting showing ICE officers attempting to stage a fake riot that Jeff Merkley was talking about. This was 3 weeks ago and I never saw it before today.
