Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Now they’re coming after minors. ICE is planning to open a new call center with a dedicated unit to track unaccompanied migrant children, according to internal contracting documents.

I can't help but think these boys are acting like this is just a videogame with no one's life at stake... ( I also doubt they really could care less about the lives of these folks anyway)

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Betting this agent was mercilessly teased and bullied as a kid..

Reminder: In Virginia, you can register to vote on Election Day through same-day voter registration. This lets you register in person and cast a provisional ballot if you missed the regular registration deadline. Your vote will be counted once eligibility is confirmed, so don’t sit this one out!

Bomb threats close some N.J. polling locations Polling places in seven counties are affected, though officials say the threats are not credible.

If MAGA can’t win, they’ll try to cheat. In New Jersey, Democratic strongholds are being targeted with bomb threats at polling places across Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic counties, forcing brief closures. Do not let this stop you from voting.

Feds say WA can’t make foster parents accept kids’ gender identity Washington state law requires caregivers to provide children and youth "a supportive and affirming environment," including using a child's pronouns and chosen name.

Once again, the regime laying down edicts without explanation, regardless of the potential harm they bring.

Great framing.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

A middle finger to erasure.

More of this, please. Now do Black Lives Matter!

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

It just gets crazier and crazier...

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Kavanaugh stop

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Mike Johnson says he'll swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social as soon as she wants. Okay, so how about today?

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 — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order

The judge is a woman.

“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

Chilling.

WIC funding could run out in weeks, as government shuts down More than 6 million Americans rely on WIC for food assistance, breastfeeding support and nutrition education.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away
