It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

There it is

Shutdown. Ziptie Kids. Racist City Invasions. Black Boys hanging. Netanyahu slaughtering Palestinians. Killing Healthcare. Where is the outrage. Am I out of touch with my black community here in Chicago. Are middle class black folks tired of them black folks over there. I NEED A BREAK. REALLY💯

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Portland And Beyond This afternoon, Donald Trump was asked about invoking the Insurrection Act: “I’d do it if it was necessary.

Attempts to deploy federalized National Guardsmen to Oregon, California, & Illinois, also, signs that Trump, or at least someone around him, is starting to think seriously about the Insurrection Act. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

You may not be paying attention to this story,

but a white police officer was caught on camera tampering with a witness and other evidence for the express purpose of framing LSU football player Kyren Lacy for a vehicular manslaughter he had NOTHING to do with.

Kyren took his own life in April.

He's totally going to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell by the way.

Can You Really Forest Bathe in the Middle of a City? I Tried It. A skeptic set out to see if the Japanese wellness practice works outside of the forest

My latest for Outside is an investigation into forest bathing, which all about finding nature where you can: "At the time, she was working with clients in care facilities. She started bringing in baskets of grass that they could step in with their bare feet." www.outsideonline.com/culture/essa...

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None.

This shouldn’t even have to be said.

This is what fascism looks like.

We’re only 9 months into this presidency and he’s already sending troops from red states into blue states while clearly stating his motives are political.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

“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...)

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Maybe if their was a VACCINE....nevermind..🤔

Four U.S. citizen children were detained in an ICE raid—zip-tied, separated, held for hours.

Imagine if these were your precious little ones! Can you close your eyes to this depravity? Please don't.

Remember

If this could happen to these little kids, it can happen to yours.

Speak out now!

This is fascism.

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

Attn Black people, stop scrolling.

This is not a drill: Chicago

History repeats.
