Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.

We asked the judge to issue a broad order โ€” one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state โ€” stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

What a lovely message from @bookshop.org. Glad to see them growing and growing. We CAN claim back what has been taken from us by these monstrous corporations, and it starts with things like this. Grab some books these next couple days!

Whatever you do, please donโ€™t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

A military-style operation is taking place outside the Broadview ICE facility in Illinois, featuring snipers stationed on rooftops and armored vehicles on the streets. Protesters are reportedly being abducted and vanished, signaling authoritarian repression in this Chicago suburb.

Helicopter with US Customs and Border Protection markings.

Helicopter with US Customs and Border Protection markings.

This is the ICE helicopter circling above South Waterfront in Portland right now. Markings are consistent with US Customs and Border Protection. Incredibly noisy, disruptive to residents and wildlife, and a huge waste of money. At least itโ€™s a lot harder to kidnap people into helicopters than vans.

'Bombshell ruling': Trump-appointed judge blocks president's Portland National Guard move Donald Trump saw a legal loss on Saturday when a judge that the president himself appointed granted a restraining order blocking President Trump's call-up of the National Guard in Portland.Kyle Cheney...

Cheney added, โ€œImmergut issued a stark warning that the efforts by Trump to make a bad-faith justification to call up the guard risked plunging the country into a form of unconstitutional military rule.โ€

Itโ€™s was getting out of control

Not a single right wing idea has made any normal peopleโ€™s lives better.

But people are being convinced they just need some REALLY right wing ideas.

And when they donโ€™t work, itโ€™ll all be someone elseโ€™s fault.

Maybe, just maybe, the ideas are bad.

And maybe itโ€™s unproductive to pander to them.
