The October Native News Roundup is out today. I’m breaking down news on how the federal government shutdown is impacting Native Americans, holidays for tyrants and medals for murderers, storms devastate Yup'ik villages, and court cases I'm following.

The gatekeeping of organizing to keep people from starving to death has to stop.

YES, donate to and volunteer to your local food pantries.

AND please understand that people are ALREADY hungry and many food pantries are ALREADY overwhelmed.

ICE agents are seizing more people from jails in the Austin area, sometimes visiting the facilities multiple times per day as the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement nationwide.

ICE is removing more people from Austin’s jails. Sometimes coming twice a day.

Data shows a growing number of people in Travis County jails find themselves facing deportation after sometimes routine run-ins with the police.

We do not have an immigration system. We have a capricious extractive way to keep an underclass. And the people invested in that project never pay the consequences. It is always the laborers and never the owners in concentration camps.

Because I actually read data on immigration, I can tell you, the only thing Trump had done “better” is scare the shit out of everyday people and cause many of us to carry our passports everywhere. Everything else has been less effective.

ICE kidnapped a man in Hillsboro, OR over a week ago and he’s still detained. They know they got the wrong “Victor Cruz” and that his papers were all in order. Yet they are still holding him in jail. Just a blatant abuse of power. www.kgw.com/article/news...

'He willingly got out of his truck and presented his papers': ICE agents seeking different man detain Hillsboro grandfather, family says

Originally from Mexico, Victor Cruz has lived in Hillsboro for nearly three decades. Last week, masked agents disregarded his legal status and detained him anyway.

Damn Bernie are you sure YOU'RE not the one with a weird skull tattoo? Because uh yikes

So, has historically the United States done well under Democrats and Republicans protecting the border? The answer is no. Trump did a better job,” Sanders said on the podcast. “I don’t like Trump, you know, but we should have a secure border. And it ain’t that hard to do. Biden didn’t do it. Those before him did not do it. We should have a secure border period. I think most people in the Congress agree with that.”

No, Bernie, sending squads of goosestepping fascists to conduct mass raids and terrify entire communities is not "better." This is a godawful take and you should feel bad.

If you don’t have any borders, you don’t have a nation," Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party, said on The Tim Dillon Show on Wednesday. "Trump did a better job. I don’t like Trump, but we should have a secure border. It ain’t that hard to do. Biden didn't do it."

Trump is demanding that the DOJ transfer $230 million in taxpayer dollars into his own personal bank account.

He can do this because, thanks to the Supreme Court’s recent decisions, the executive branch could accurately be described by King Louis XIV—L’état, c’est Trump.

As Trump plans to steal $230 million from taxpayers, we can thank John Roberts

Shall we call it a "Roberts reward"?

Ryan Oliver, a standup comedian who works as a part-time custodian at the Laugh Factory, was inside the comedy club on Chicago's North Side when he heard shouting from outside. That prompted him to leave Laugh Factory to see what was happening.
"I was trying to look through the glass, and I seen a bunch of people holding cell phones. And then I went outside," Oliver said. "It was a Latino man. He was on the ground getting picked up by what looked to be federal officers. He was getting put in an unmarked car."
Oliver said he saw the laborer, who was working on the building, being detained by federal officers as he had "blood "coming out [of] his nose and down his mouth."
The laborer was one of two people who were detained by federal agents Friday morning at Broadway and Belmont Avenue on Chicago's North Side. The second person detained was Oliver's coworker Nate Griffin, who works as a night manager at the Laugh Factory.
