The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE.

Apple removed an app to preserve TikToks, IG reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE.

Eyes Up, was an aggregation service pooling information to preserve evidence for future prosecutions.

Why is this a bad thing?

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Our government is shut down but nobody is paying attention because our president is an idiotic cunt who is sending troops to invade our cities for fraudulent reasons because he’s a pedophile.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

One of the (many) legal gaps that needs to be filled after this nightmare is over is to prohibit federal law enforcement agencies from using federal funds to create propaganda videos with anyone in custody. This is all about spectacle and content creation, remove the incentive and the means

Trump is threatening to withhold back pay for federal workers furloughed during the shutdown — which goes against a law he signed in 2019, by the way.

This should come as no surprise: Trump and his businesses have been accused of stiffing hundreds of their own workers out of pay over the years.

Finally the mainstream press catches up: Trump is unhinged! The late-night AI videos, the rants, the chaos!
Took them long enough — the media finally admits what’s been obvious for years: Trump is losing his grip on reality.

The US president’s recent behavior is strange to many, from reposting a false AI video of himself to confusing comments during press conferences

All Trump does is lie to us. He said during his presser Tylenol shouldn’t be taken by pregnant women because it causes autism. His FDA immediately posted a statement there is NO proven causation between Tylenol and autism. Trump knows MAGA only watch Fox, don’t read news

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

End the shutdown, GOP. Extend the ACA subsidies. Stop shoving more money at the billionaires.

Image of an X post from @JessicaTarlov
showing a screenshot of her on "The Five" on Fox News, with the chyron "DEMS SHOOT DOWN BILL THAT WOULD END GOVT SHUTDOWN" and the time "2:02." The post reads: "Republicans can mock Democrats all they want, but the numbers don’t lie. By a 17 point margin, Americans blame the GOP for the shutdown. And Americans overwhelmingly back extending ACA subsidies—71% in WaPo, 78% in the KFF poll. This has nothing to do with 'healthcare for illegal immigrants,' and Trump knows it."

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard in Portland, ruling he overstepped his authority and violated state sovereignty. The court said Trump’s move lacked any “colorable basis” and was not justified by conditions on the ground.
