I want our democracy back. It was my honor to be a public servant for 35 years... from the Statue of Liberty, to Africa, to addressing air pollution from mobile sources and now time to fight to restore our country's goodness. Delaware🫘

Trump has let the world know that he’s for sale to the highest bidder. That “free” jet he received from Qatar got them a military base on American soil. What this deal may wind up costing American citizens—whether in taxes or weakened national security—is incalculable.

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?!

I am Antifa.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 13h

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.”

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

The Trump White House denounced the Nobel committee's awarding of the peace prize to Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado. But Rubio is a big supporter and co-signed a letter last August to the committee saying she should win the prize. Our story: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

This is a president who leads through fear – and many in his own party can’t even stand up to him.

But I have faith in the American people, and in the judiciary. We must all recognize the moment we’re in.

These aren't random lies—they're part of the relatively short runway the Trump administration will use to illegally invoke the Insurrection Act and soon after declare martial law and end our democracy

I'm unsure if we have days or weeks left, but I suspect it's one of those two rather than months

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Then the press needs to up the ante. Spend entire news hours on this repugnant shit. Stop sane washing what's happening in Washington DC, stop normalizing troops in American cities.

Set off all the alarms. That is their most pressing task at this time.

And sue. Sue every last one of them.
