Trump is spiraling. He knows the only thing that awaits him after the government shutdown are the Epstein files, midterm losses, and (choose your favorite consequence)____________________.

The human instinct to avoid discomfort is really dangerous right now. We need to break that. I'm talking 30+ days of *coordinated* habit-breaking and community building: boycotts, protests, media blitzes, learn-ins, etc. Basically, America needs a self-help book.

I am once again calling on state governors to mobilize their National Guards to escort congressmembers into ICE facilities so they can DO THEIR LAWFULLY ASSIGNED FEDERAL DUTIES

Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social · 4d

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER

In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people — including a 2-year-old — were outside nearby.

So Karoline Leavitt believes the Democrats “evil plan” was to enact policies which convinced millions of immigrants to travel thousands of miles and “invade” America, then get sick, so they could storm hospitals where doctors-who are “in on it”-would see them first, forcing “real Americans” to wait

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5d

REPORTER: Is it the administration's position that hospitals should not have to treat people who come to ERs who are not here legally?

LEAVITT: No, that's not our position

Oh. Election denier and right winger Pizzagate TPUSA hack Jack Posobiec appears to have voted illegally - living in Maryland but voting in Pennsylvania. From Jacqueline Sweet at @slate.com and @marisakabas.bsky.social at The Handbasket: slate.com/news-and-pol...

MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There.

A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

ICE’s brutality is no longer confined to the shadows — it’s playing out on sidewalks, in courthouses, and in broad daylight.

Go to hud.gov and use the website feedback button to tell them the website is for all Americans and to take down this partisan propaganda.

#ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

On the HUD website - partisan propaganda. "The Radical Left in Congress shut down the government. HUD will use available resources to help Americans in need. "

If you live in Illinois, we need your help.

This will take less than five minutes and will truly pressure your local elected officials to stand with the people rather than ICE.

Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social · 7d

That’s why I need to ask everyone in Illinois for a favor.

Contact your elected officials TODAY and tell them to stand with the people — not ICE — for a press conference demanding transparency + legality this Friday at 1930 Beach Street, 9AM.

"I'll just go use official force to coercively raise my own revenue (a/k/a taxes!) and then spend it on whatever government stuff I decide I want to do" is complete and total executive tyranny, Congress reduced to nothing but a powerless sham legislature, a head of state with absolute power.

Consider this the wake-up call. The snooze button is broken. We fight fascism now because it’s going to be a lot more dangerous when they decide that everyone who isn’t in a MAGA hat gets shot.
