Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Stick to “shrunk”

Shrunk in 12 months!!

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

A screenshot of an X.com post by @AdelitaForAZ , Adelita Grijalva, stating, "The people of Southern Arizona deserve representation and I'm ready to get to work. Swear me in NOW! @SpeakerJohnson !" followed by a reply from @GavinNewsom , Gavin Newsom, saying, "It's not even November and the GOP are already rigging elections." Below, a news headline from McClatchy by Nikki McCann Ramirez dated September 30, 2025, reads, "DEM SAYS MIKE JOHNSON IS DELAYING HER SWEARING-IN TO PREVENT EPSTEIN VOTE," with a photo of Adelita Grijalva smiling at an event in Tucson, Arizona, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

This is the Epstein files shutdown.

Congratulations. Obviously thoroughly deserved

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

The Second Wave is on route, 9 boats including The Conscience which is the largest ship in the history of the Flotilla. Filled with humanitarian aid, medics and journalists.

The behaviour, the lack of empathy, the neo-fascist rhetoric and actions, must surely be embarrassing for decent, thinking Americans. From afar, I still shake my head in disbelief that such a person could be elected. But apparently he still has a following

ICE officer seen on video pushing woman to ground has returned to duty An ICE officer who was initially relieved of his duties after being captured on video pushing a woman to the ground has been returned to duty, two U.S. officials familiar with the matter told CBS News...

In today’s completely unsurprising news, the ICE officer very briefly, taken off duty for shoving a woman to the ground in New York is back on the job not even a week later.

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Thanks to Australian, Hamish Paterson, part of #GlobalSumudFlotilla & member of the Maritime Union Australia-Sydney Branch, who proudly support him & the flotilla.

Due in Gaza ~this Thurs, 2 Oct, the MAU & Hamish ask @albomp.bsky.social for sanctions & more on Israel.

Keep up the pressure✌🏽🇵🇸

…. and there’s one man who owns all of them

Ironic indeed

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

Awesome that people are speaking up to protect free speech from Trump's fascist tyranny. Although, we should recognize that this isn't a new fight for Black communities. They have long struggled to exercise free speech, unlike white people. Free speech is a privilege denied to many. Keep fighting.

Happy 400th🥳🍾 thank-you @deniseshrivell.bsky.social all the independent media involved & #TrueNorth 👊🗞️💜

Charlie Kirk wasn’t a political activist.

He was a hate-monger masquerading as an activist.

Wanting gays to be stoned to death isn’t a political position - it’s hate.

Saying George Floyd had it coming and Derek Chauvin should be pardoned, isn’t a conservative position - it’s hate

Thank you for sharing. Serious question: did Trump or any other Republican leader issue a statement in condemnation of the shooting?

Was the reference to guns prospicient?

Israel’s deadly attack on Hamas in Qatar draws global condemnation Israel’s attack that killed 6 in Doha draws criticism from across the world as Israeli troops continue to bombard Gaza.

"[T]he message that Israel is sending out is also quite clear: that it is not interested in any peace deal, but is, rather, deeply committed to destabilising the region."
