On Sunday, U.S. District Court Judge Karin J. Immergut blocked President Trump's deployment of the Oregon National Guard. She is now at the center of one of the most consequential cases over executive authority in modern presidential history. Here's a deep dive into who she is.

Karin Immergut, judge who blocked Trump’s troop deployment, ‘well respected’ and ‘has no fear’

Votar Sí a la propuesta 50 es de vital importancia para los campesinos y las familias inmigrantes. Trump está atacando a las familias latinas. Votar #SialaPropuesta50 contraataca para proteger nuestras voces en el Congreso. Es una oportunidad para unirnos y decir: ¡Ya basta! #YesOnProp50

Voting Yes on Proposition 50 is vitally important to farm workers and immigrant families. Trump is attacking and targeting latino families. Yes on Proposition 50 pushes back to protect our voices in Congress. It is a chance to stand together and say: enough is enough. #YesOnProp50

Republicans in Congress are using workers and the services we rely on as pawns to keep the government shutdown. This entire administration is dedicated to harming workers, not putting them first.

This deployment of federal forces into Oregon will accomplish nothing beyond terrorizing more communities, targeting more of the president’s political opponents, and scaring more Americans into silence about Trump’s abuses of power.

Oregon is our home – not a military target. Oregon is where we work, where we have families, where we all deserve to feel safe.

President Trump’s order for the National Guard to deploy in Oregon is an abuse of power and a misuse of the military, which should not be taking over our communities.

Let’s be real: the struggle isn’t about avocado toast. It’s about billionaires hoarding power and keeping wages flat—all while costs rise.
Workers aren’t the problem. Billionaires are. Until we flip that script, nothing changes.

The @dol.gov isn’t protecting workers. We need to stand strong together and fight for a better, more just economy for all.

Consider what the prompt must have been to produce these finely tuned homogenous images.

This is not representative of the real working class U.S., and it’s certainly not the future we want.

Notice a trend? This is the U.S. that the Dept. of Labor and Trump envision.

AI-slop propaganda from the @dol.gov paints a picture of white nationalist U.S. labor forces, completely ignoring *real* hardworking people of every race, ethnicity, nationality, and gender, that make our country run. 🧵

Our workers are voting at record speed on the question of whether or not to authorize a strike at Kaiser. The issues? Unfair pay, unsafe staffing, a lack of a voice and the need to ensure great care in the future.
