An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president.

Just fucking pathetic.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

🚨 COMMUNITY ALERT🚨

At LaGuardia Airport, there are several rumored and one confirmed ICE arrest of domestic travelers.

If you are at risk of detention or not sure, exercise caution while traveling. Make a safety plan in case of detention and consult an immigration attorney.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files:
The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN.
As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape.
Words matter. Get them right.

The NLG remain one of the most important and effective groups in the US in safeguarding basic political speech.

And the fact that it took them meeting with the governor’s office to get state police to *maybe* stop beating protesters is a lasting mark of shame on both Pritzker and the ISP.
the national lawyers guild of chicago says they were invited to meet with the governor’s office and state police on october 23 about protests at the broadview ice detention center.

in a time of the last, primal scream of those residual, still-broken, never-to-be-fixed white people -- not all, but too many -- for whom fear, insecurity and compounded generations of entitlement are proving more important than any pretended ideal of democracy, or equality, or empathy. It sucks.

Truly so wild that every mainstream media outlet is refusing to say the video was him shitting on protestors. Deference to power is a hallucinogenic.

I grew up on Army posts. Living just west of Chicago, under the drone of constant choppers, is eerily reminiscent. I DON’T WANT TO LIVE IN A MILITARIZED ZONE.

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

I found the exact moment the bells began to ring from all the churches and you can tell they’re not the standard recorded chimes.
Btw here’s that epic moment the churches all came together and began ringing their bells as loud as possible for the protesters in DC.

More profound than car horns. These are not the average recorded chimes we usually hear.

They laid on them heavy for the people.

Let them know you're filming them and keep asking the key questions:

"Do you have a warrant signed by a judge? Show me."

"Do you have a badge? Show me."

"Do you know how pathetic you are? You showed me."
In Middleton, NY.

This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs.

This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.
