Donald Trumpโ€™s America where simply having brown skin means youโ€™re going to be terrorized by ICE thugs, with NO warrant, while running daily errands.

Reminder:
IT DOESNโ€™T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

Trump and his vile ilk have got to go.

Trump is demolishing the White House โ€“ which is far from the worst thing this regime is doing, yet significant nonetheless as it really captures Trumpโ€™s authoritarian pretensions. Trump is destroying public goods, because the very concept is utterly alien to him.

The Tea Party never reached the magnitude of No Kings. Yet it was covered as if it represented โ€œreal America,โ€ just like MAGA today. Those are not empirical assessments, but articles of faith โ€“ ideological claims about the world that are widely shared in the American mainstream discourse.

Stephen Miller's agenda as chief architect behind Trumpโ€™s cruelest immigration policies: family separation, Muslim bans & ICE raids? Like Goebbels, Miller wants to dehumanize immigrants to build power through fear. Hold him accountable! #NeverAgainIsNow

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reaganโ€™s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, โ€œcreated an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,โ€ and โ€œdid 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.โ€ The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canadaโ€™s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their โ€œrescueโ€ on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didnโ€™t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.

Oxford Art Show Flips Motel Rooms Into Pop-Up Galleries Artists transform rooms at the Ole Miss Motel in Oxford into single-day art galleries. The event, titled โ€œOne Night Stand,โ€ takes place Saturday, Oct. 25.

โ€œThey love knowing that other people see their art," Sally Lott McLellan said of the incarcerated men's artworks. "For the timeframe that the art show goes on, theyโ€™re โ€˜free.โ€™ Theyโ€™re out there. โ€ฆ To them, it means theyโ€™re established artists.โ€

it's important to remember the people doing this aren't "just following orders," they signed up to do this, they're excited to do it, it's what they want to be doing, and each one of them is personally culpable for the entirety of ICE's conduct

The Mellon family just laundered 130 million through the defense department with Trumpโ€™s blessing. The Mellon family covered up Epstein funding through the Bank of NY. Yโ€™all know that right?
Itโ€™s all tied together. โ€œPizza Gateโ€ was always the Republicans.

Josh Hawley has announced he's introducing a bill in the Senate to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown.

Just a few months ago when he voted for the biggest cut to the program in history, it was 'big and beautiful.'

Josh Hawley is not confused, he's simply a hypocrite of the highest order.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone.

The president said today that a donor had given the government $130 million to help pay troops during the government shutdown. He declined to name the donor, but described him as a โ€œpatriotโ€ and a personal friend.

If evenly distributed, the money would pay only about $100 to each service member. But is not yet clear how the money will be used, or whether the donation violates a law prohibiting federal agencies from accepting money in excess of congressional appropriations.

New York Times reports that it is unclear whether having a federal agency accept money in excess of congressional appropriations "violates a law prohibiting federal agencies from accepting money in excess of congressional appropriations." I guess we'll never know!

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcareโ€”it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
