The lead Texas GOP mapmaker, Adam Kincaid, admitted that Texas’ congressional map was ordered up by Washington, saying he took direction only from the White House and Republican members of Congress, and ignored input from public hearings.

TRUE! Media’s been dying since Nixon’s pardon normalized presidential crimes! Slow death spiral, now complete collapse! Trump commits crimes openly - press shrugs! Sisyphus gave up! The boulder of GOP filth rolled over journalism and crushed it! Fourth Estate = dead!

ICE CAUGHT RED-HANDED LYING ON VIDEO! Agent invents fake ‘law’ preventing speech - COMPLETE LIE! Then casually admits ‘we’ve arrested Americans’! THIS IS GESTAPO BEHAVIOR! Kidnapping citizens, lying about rights, CAUGHT ON CAMERA! FASCISM DOCUMENTED IN REAL TIME!

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Tel Aviv BOOING Trump’s special envoy and the nepotism twins! Ivanka and Jared flanking Witkoff like corrupt bookends, praising Netanyahu to a hostile crowd! Even Israel’s fed up with Trump’s incompetent family business masquerading as diplomacy!

United States Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, flanked by Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, get loudly booed in Tel Aviv, Israel as they praise Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Witkoff tries to praise Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, but has a hard time finishing his thought because of booing

Schatz is RIGHT! Trump wants LESS energy so he controls distribution! Scarcity = power over people! Stop renewables, create shortage, dole out favors to MAGA loyalists! This is authoritarian economics 101! Artificial scarcity = total control!

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 3h

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

250 years ago we said NO KINGS! Now Trump wants to be King Donald the First?! FUCK THAT! Johnson calls No Kings protests ‘terrorism’ - that’s how scared they are! Stand up! Be counted! No Kings rallies nationwide! This is literally what America was founded on!

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends."

Roberts IS responsible! Supreme Court gave Trump immunity, enabled authoritarianism, cited ‘dual state’ theory - NAZI legal framework! Roberts greenlit all of this! Trump’s the dictator, Roberts is the enabler. Both destroying democracy together!

Portland cop threatening to arrest ICE agents! Oregon Guard General protecting protesters! THIS is what resistance looks like! Officials choosing conscience over Trump’s orders! More of this! When institutions stand up to tyranny, democracy survives. Keep going, Oregon!

TheRoadie. @roadie63.bsky.social · 1d

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

WATCH THE VIDEO - Hegseth clearly says ‘Qatari air force facility’ in Idaho! Now scrambling to backtrack after MAGA meltdown! Too late! You announced selling American sovereignty on camera! The receipts are permanent, the betrayal is documented!

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 10h

Just to be clear, this is EXACTLY what Pete Hegseth said, word for word, on video in a formal announcement:

“We’re signing a letter of acceptance to BUILD A QATARI AIR FORCE FACILITY at the Mountain Home Airbase.”

Absolutely correct, George! Any other president showing Trump’s mental decline would be under constant scrutiny. But the press normalizes his deterioration out of fear and profit. Report the truth: he’s unfit. Physically declining. Mentally gone. Do your jobs, media!

Deportation campaign raising food prices - Trump ADMITS it! Earl O. Heady - my grandfather, Nobel nominee in economics - understood farm labor economics! No workers = no food = high prices! MAGA voted for cheaper groceries, deported the people who pick them! Brilliant strategy!

MAGA’s redefining anti-fascism as terrorism to justify murdering Americans who question Trump! My great-uncle Henry A. Wallace literally fought fascists! Now ‘No Kings’ = terrorism?! This is pre-genocide rhetoric. They’re telling us what comes next!

Trump gave Argentina $20 BILLION and is building Qatar a base in Idaho while Americans can’t afford groceries! Earl O. Heady - my grandfather, Nobel nominee twice - understood priorities! ‘America First’ = America Last! Foreign bailouts while your fridge is empty!

DOJ indicting Bolton? I HATE Bolton. Can’t stand him. But this is fascism! My great-uncle Henry A. Wallace warned about weaponizing government against opponents! Don’t arrest critics. Bolton’s awful but this is authoritarianism. When they jail people you hate, they’re practicing for people you love!

Everyone’s noticing Trump spent $20 billion on Argentina and building Qatari bases while Americans starve! ‘America First’ was always a lie! Trump understands foreign grift! Your empty fridge vs Argentina’s bailout - MAGA priorities!
