Fucking DUH. That has always been their goal. They’re dialing things up, hoping for violence they can blame on “the left”, when in reality they are causing the violence.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Wanna learn more about the pastor in this photo?

I talked to him yesterday.

He's currently part of a lawsuit against DHS, in part due to this exact moment: religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

The DOJ no longer exists
It is now the Department of Corruption

I remember when the DOJ was supposed to be unbiased law enforcement and insulated from political pressure.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

Dems are launching an investigation into a recent Chicago immigration raid where people, US citizens included, were violently pulled from their beds in the middle of the night & children were zip-tied, separated from their parents.

This is appalling & there must be accountability.
