#KavanaughRaid

“Masked agents made people line up outside the building, where they asked each resident their name and country of origin … [and] if they had documents that proved they resided in the U.S. legally. … Black U.S. citizens, were loaded into vans where they were questioned further.”

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

For alternatives: my podcast is Pocket Casts (pretty good). For music, I just buy from Bandcamp, Itune and Barnes and Noble since I like to keep my stuff. As for audiobooks, @libro.fm, @bookshop.org, Kobo and Libby are the best.

The absorption of The Free Press by Paramount marks a sobering setback for journalistic independence. When corporate consolidation subsumes dissenting voices, the Fourth Estate loses its critical distance, diminishing the integrity & plurality essential to democratic discourse.

GOP could stop the shutdown on their own terms by eliminating the filibuster themselves.

But the GOP wants the political cover of "Democratic obstruction."

More importantly, they need Dems to eventually agree, so they'll be complicit in their ongoing crimes against Americans by funding fascism.

I don’t know how ICE agents sleep at night, but this right here is absolutely heartless!

They detained two parents and their 22-year-old son outside Chicago while the family was on their way to celebrate their 10-year-old’s birthday.

There's a new kind of “moderate” Republican—perhaps best exemplified by Weiss—that's poised to keep gaining power and shifting the country in harmful and destructive ways, even if they never have the political power of more explicitly pro-Trump conservatives.

If you automatically assume that anything any media outlet reports is a lie if a cop is the source you’re likely to be far better informed than someone who automatically assumes it’s all true.

History will not remember him as a king, or a savior. History will remember him as a small, ugly, sick man who happened to seize great power, who wielded it recklessly, & who left behind a trail of destruction, corruption & cowardice unmatched in American history.

Trump is pondering a pardon...Of course. Along with Diddy. The God-fearing cult hasn't figured out yet that all he does is pardon the worst of the worst criminals.

Virginia Giuffre's family reacts to SCOTUS denying Ghislaine Maxwell's petition:

"We are committed to ensuring that convicted child sex trafficker Maxwell serves out the entirety of her 20-year sentence in prison, where she belongs."

Full statement below

We, the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, are grateful to the Supreme Court for denying Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal to invalidate her conviction.

We are committed to ensuring that convicted child sex trafficker Maxwell serves out the entirety of her 20-year sentence in prison, where she belongs. We remain hopeful that the DOJ will realize that she belongs in a maximum security prison, not the country club one she is currently in, the first human trafficker ever to have been afforded that privilege.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts.

Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

We MUST stop asking questions about Maxwell and just hit hard with how Trump is a podophile lover who transferred her to minimum security and won't rule out a pardon. Language is Power. Learn how to use it: https://americanmanifesto.news/anti-maga-messaging-guide-v1
