These people have civilian jobs. It's one thing to mobilize them for an emergency or a legitimate war, another thing to send them to American cities to stand around and mill about. You're messing with people's careers to further a hostile and idiotic agenda.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls.

But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

If you need to explain to an idiot why Tolkien would have despised these goons, I have already grabbed a picture of the relevant passage (and I doubt I was the first):

An image of a passage from the Return of the King, in which Robin the Hobbit Shirriff explains that 'the Chief' (Saruman) has coopted the shirriffs and uses them to lock up or beat people who protest is tyranny - and he always wants more shirriffs, "with all these new rules."

Our government is shutdown, and our “president” is willing to meet with Kim Jong Un, but not Chuck Schumer.

I have long hated people sing our anthem like a dirge. (Did we learn nothing from Whitney?) The Canadian anthem is even more suitable for joy. But it gets the dirge treatment, too.

Tonight’s singers were the best I’ve heard this week (did not hear all of them) and bonus points for bilingual Rufus.

1/ The gov't just asked the 9th Circuit for a writ of mandamus telling Judge Ellis in Chicago she may not force Greg Bovino to show up in her courtroom every day, wear a body cam & personally stop teargassing peaceful protestors.

I don't think it'll work.

Since the entry of the TRO, however, the court has placed evolving and increasing burdens on the government in a purported effort to monitor compliance with the order. Although the government has endeavored to provide the court with the information it has requested, the court’s demands have become untenable. In the course of a hearing on October 28, the district court again modified the TRO to further micromanage DHS officers’ operations in the field, including how their uniforms must appear; imposed burdensome and ongoing disclosure obligations on the government; and questioned counsel about non-record material, including videos taken and sent in by the public. The hearing culminated in the October 28 order that Chief Bovino—a senior DHS officer who is overseeing various aspects of CBP’s daily operations in the Chicago area—appear in person at 5:45 PM every weekday to “report” to the court and answer whatever questions the court might have. That unprecedented order interferes with Chief Bovino’s ability to undertake his responsibilities, is unnecessary to secure compliance with the TRO, and is completely untethered to the claims and allegations underlying this lawsuit.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

The Buffalo Bisons are the AAA farm team for the Blue Jays, so we have close ties. And as the article says, Buffalo Bills fans do love to donate to “enemy” teams causes. The Dalton one is the best-known but there are several others. Hope it continues everywhere!

Make no mistake about it: This administration is trying to take away your ability to protest their new secret police force and even stand next to those who do so, and they are abusing the legal system to do so.

Kat is not afraid. I'm not either. We all have to stand together here. We will win.

This was done to a U.S. citizen and combat veteran. Read this part.

A screenshot from a federal court document shows paragraph 16 describing an incident in which agents pointed both a pepper ball gun and a real gun at Chris Gentry, a combat veteran, as he stood lawfully by the road voicing opposition. The document includes a citation noting that one agent pointed the real gun at Gentry’s face and said, “bang, bang,” and “you’re dead liberal.” The header indicates it’s from case number 1:25-cv-12173, filed on October 26, 2025.

Conflicted. Good thing that whatever I think about it has no impact on the outcome!

I’m going to be both happy and sad no matter who wins.

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

Police once charged a man w assaulting a cop bc of the liquid he “threw” on the cop.

The liquid? The man’s blood. Which was flying off his face. Which the cop had just punched.

Far too often the cops arrest ppl for the harms done by the police.

I’m hoping we are seeing a critical overreach now.

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · 14h

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.

This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.

I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.
