“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Way to go, Chicago, more of this! Kristi Noem is upset that ICE agents in Chicago are being “denied entry” to restrooms and lunch spots.

Democrats are winning the shutdown Republicans, meanwhile, are bumbling and stumbling.

"To the extent Republicans have managed to settle on a single talking point, it’s that Dems want taxpayer $ to pay for healthcare for undocumented people — a lie so egregious even the mainstream media is balking at repeating it. It’s almost self-parodic messaging & polling suggests it’s not working"

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

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

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):

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

Greta is free from the Israeli terrorists.

They are monsters.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Trump is turning Democrat cities into warzones – and we should all be scared The US is on the brink of major unrest in cities like Chicago and Portland, as Trump steamrolls all opposition

The silence of European governments about ICE's thuggish activities this weekend in Chicago and Portland is not going to be sustainable for very much longer. If you call it out when you see it in Belarus, you need to call it out when you see it in Illinois.

My God, it’s just unbelievable what has happened to America and how quickly the apparatus of government has been dismantled 😢

Does anyone know why Zack Polanski wasn't invited onto Laura Kuenssberg's BBC show, or onto Trevor Phillips's Sky News program?

Chicago ♥️ 😢

Such worrying reports from the USA. The great city of Chicago under siege by the punk government of the USA 😢 🙏 💪

Two-thirds of National Park Service employees have been furloughed during the ongoing government shutdown, worsening an already severe staffing shortage. With limited personnel remaining, essential maintenance, law enforcement, and visitor services are significantly reduced.

Good morning. For anyone that needs to hear this:

Are there any #Reform MPs/Councillors who do NOT have a criminal record or engaged in some form of misconduct?!? 🤦‍♀️

The “Leave the #ECHR” drumbeat is Brexit 2.0. Another delusion from right wingers selling fake fear and threat for non-existent benefits. It would reduce UK citizen rights. Read *real* impact of ECHR…

It hurt when I crashed my bike into a pothole – and it taught me the true price of austerity | George Monbiot Fixing that hole could have cost under £100; the cost of not doing so is limitless. My prang highlights the neoliberal folly of false economies, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Zack Polanski is sending out the message that you can both oppose Genocide and condemn attacks on jewish people in the UK.

And it is driving the Media insane because they want to cancel Genocide protests.

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

"You have it in your power to make a difference. Don't give up. There is a future for you. Do your best while you’re still on this beautiful Planet Earth that I look down upon from where I am now."
