I grow things and make stuff. **RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES** Stay strong my fellow humans. We can and will overcome IF we step out of our comfort zone, keep calling our reps and peacefully protest in every way possible (physical, economic, etc.)

Attacking an 84-year-old couple is totally disgraceful. The members of ICE who did it should be in jail.

The habeas petition for Byron Rovidio Marin (the guy held w/o charge in a hospital for 37 days after ICE broke his leg) has been unsealed.

48. On August 27, 2025, CBP arrested Petitioner in Carson, California.
During his arrest, Petitioner sustained severe injuries to his leg and CBP transported
him to UCLA-Harbor Medical Center in Carson, California where he was
hospitalized as a “custody” of ICE. Petitioner remains in the custody of ICE at
UCLA-Harbor Medical Center with private contractor guards posted inside his
patient room at all times and controlling and limiting access to Petitioner by
medical personnel, attorneys, and family members.
49. ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings or charged him
with being in violation of immigration law. Upon information and belief, no
warrant for Petitioner’s arrest has been issued.

Jeffries: “Republicans acted with great urgency to swear in two right-wing members of congress to do in the American people… What is the delay with respect to Representative-elect. Grijalva? Anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files? Inquiring minds want to know.”

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

“Let Republicans have the literal blood of American citizens on their hands—and make that the central issue of the shutdown. Otherwise, enjoy having your health care subsidy debate in the gulags these people would happily send us all to. I hear that poll-tests great.”

The Case for the Forever Shutdown

Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.
