The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

So proud of the frog and all of the peaceful protesters in Portland and Chicago!

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

I just joined CA's SolarShare program. Sacramento, my city, maintains the solar farms we have, & I reap the power! Quite brilliant to offer this.

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 23h

California is about to 100% replace coal from our state's energy supply.

The 30,000+ megawatts in new clean energy and storage we've added since 2019 is now powering about half of our peak electricity demand.

While Trump bets on the past, California is shaping the future.

There is no free 747 either.

Trump has less than 40% approval and Republicans have convinced themselves you need to pay people to protest his policies

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

I want to see Congress flipped and even if we don't get the necessary votes in the Senate to convict... I want to see daily impeachments. Because damn, there are daily impeachable acts.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE.

Apple removed an app to preserve TikToks, IG reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE.

Eyes Up, was an aggregation service pooling information to preserve evidence for future prosecutions.

Why is this a bad thing?

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Our government is shut down but nobody is paying attention because our president is an idiotic cunt who is sending troops to invade our cities for fraudulent reasons because he’s a pedophile.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.
