It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.

🚨🚨🚨If you live anywhere in the greater Chicago area…ICE will start using Great Lakes Naval Station as a command center for their “enforcement” operations across Chicago on Sept 5. The base isn’t in the city or Cook County. It’s north, in Lake County. Expect raids across entire the metropolitan area.

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.

NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:

State governors should declare that any ICE agent with no badge, no warrant, who tries to arrest someone should be arrested to stare or local police for violating due process and attempted kidnapping. Start arresting people for committing violence to get their jollies when they are denying the law.

Been thinking about ancestor magic Lots of us in the US have an ancestor who fought (and maybe died) to prevent this kind of regime from ever gaining power again And even if you don’t believe – could it hurt to call on those ancestors to help topple this latest incarnation of totalitarianism?

A dramatic, extremely worrying moment; over 61,000 people held in ICE detention. That is the highest number ever on record in United States history; roughly 6,000 higher than the previous record set under Trump six years ago, and over 21,000 higher than when Trump took office just seven months ago.

Acknowledging that we are living under a fascist regime at the Federal level is essential for figuring out how to fight. And I'm sorry but burying one's head in the sand at this moment is actually allowing fascism to be further entrenched & authority more easily consolidated.
