Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
Everyone should have seen this coming before he was elected. People show a lack of historical awareness when voting. If they had it, they might have recognized that Trump and his allies planned on following the dictator's playbook. One day, even the Rights cherished 2nd Amendment might be at risk.
"If you want to have a coup against the constitutional order, you want to control the capital city. And if he has control of the policing in the city of Washington...Who's gonna tell him to leave the White House?" @gtconway.bsky.social joins @jvl.bsky.social:

This 👇🏾 “Why do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.” DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.
Stay out of state prosecutions, Donald. They aren’t your lane.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
Can someone explain to these clowns what a HISTORY museum is? Poster child for the dumbing of America, right here.👇🏾
Kevin McCarthy on CNN: "I lost my job because one person slept with an underaged woman and I wasn't going to do something different when it came to the ethics committee. I'd do that exact same thing today."
Here, fixed it.
Art of the deal.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social not just waiving & walking by, but stopping to look in his eyes & take the time to offer reassurance that he too has an opportunity for a better life experience … More Mandanis please
Tremendous crossover move right here:
Newsom: 175 billion in the bill that was just signed to reinforce the ranks of ICE for what is increasingly becoming self-evident a private army for Donald Trump. Owing an oath only to him, not the constitution
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…
Don't surrender Cali!
Check this shit! Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents. Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.
Welker plays Rubio a clip of him saying in 2022 that "you can't cut deals with guys" like Putin 😬
legit laughing my ass off
🚨 Trump has taken aim at MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace in a bizarre social media rant. Free speech. First Amendment. 1A. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-vows-m...
Folks keep talking about the parallels between real life and The Handmaid’s Tale. Here’s another one: they seized Washington, DC, and the seat of American power collapsed overnight into authoritarian rule.
Release the Epstein Files.
RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences? RUBIO: That's not the aim RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim
Life comes at you fast
Last time the orange buffoon abused a president.A man of honour and conviction. A man fighting against the genocide of his people. A man who would not back down. I'm in awe of President Zelenskyy. And it's a shame he has to listen to this orange buffoon, but I understand he will do it for his people
GOOD TWEET. GOOD MOOD. FIGHT.
donny can't hide his true feelings for putin. It's that simple.

🇺🇦 Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy. Slava Ukraini!
An incredible moment at tonight's Washington Spirit home game at Audi Field, as the crowd erupts in a "FREE DC" chant.
These so-called ICE agents are nothing more than masked cowards.They live among us in our neighborhoods, and their activities are known to those who see them daily. Neighbors should use social media to share photos or videos, exposing their identities.They must be held accountable for their actions.
Quiznos? Cosi? Subway? Jimmy John's? Jersey Mike's? Any sub shop I visit from this day forward will be judged not only on the taste & value of its sandwiches, but their weight, velocity, & stability of their wrapping.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."
America is banning books- people who ban books are mostly on the wrong side of history. Countries that ban so many books definitely are on the wrong side of history.
I want ICE gone. But at the very least, they need better training—they clearly don’t know what the F they’re doing. 🚨 A man was killed on the 210 Freeway after running into traffic while fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot. This is the second known death in Southern California tied to these raids.
WATCH THIS: ICE took 17-year-old Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero-Cruz off the street, left his dog to dodge cars, and laughed about the $2,500 bounty they just made. He’s now shivering in an overcrowded cell. At home? His mom is raising 3 little boys alone, including twin babies.
Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.
No felon of the US can sell Ukraine's sovereignty or land. 🫡💙💛
BREAKING: THE WEAPONIZED SANDWICH CONTAINED SALAMI
Someone should arrest Putin the war criminal. Take him to the international Criminal Court in the Hague!!
Newsom: A failed president in every sense — who else sends ICE agents mid-conversation? Only someone weak, broken, and desperate to disguise fragility as strength. The most unpopular leader of our era.
A convicted felon president meets with a murderous thug, international felon president, who would be arrested in 123 different countries while getting off his plane. A red carpet was provided.
I’ve always been a big 2nd Amendment guy bcuz I fear government tyranny. I fear masked & armed government agents taking to our streets against the people. So how come all my fellow 2nd Amendment guys, who said they too feared government tyranny, are now happily on the side of the government tyranny?
what
Well done, Alaska.
Operation “Get him to stroke out” is in full swing.

Throwing a sandwich at a cop: REQUIRES 10-PERSON TACTICAL TEAM TO AREEST IN FULL RAID GEAR (even tho subject wanted to turn himself in) Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: “Go home. We love you.”

ICYMI yesterday: Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.
Proven many times over...
The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”
ANCHORAGE…
> @governor.ca.gov
This is how everyone should treat this masked thugs!! ‘This is cowboy country and we don’t get down with that bullshit!…You got two options you can get the fuck off my property or we can get down.’ Bravo, sir‼️💥🔥💥
Anyone who tries to teach this about slavery to a child should be fired immediately.
He rolled out a fucking red carpet for Putin. A red carpet. Fuck Trump.
BREAKING: LOS ANGELES (AP) - California Gov. Newsom calls for Nov. 4 special election on redistricting plan aimed at adding Democratic US House seats.
Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
There are far too many incompetent leaders among Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.. I’m sure many people, like me, predicted Trump would do exactly what he’s done. Everyone he listens to and takes advice from was bound to push for all of this and even more to happen to our country.
"If anyone thought last January that our democratic system could withstand Trump 2.0, that the courts and political opposition would be strong enough to hold him in check, they’re quickly learning how wrongheaded they were."
This is the proud work of some lovely Alabama Democrats!
Leningrad was renamed St. Petersburg in 1991
Crybaby trump. Convicted felon, pedophile, rapist, liar, traitor, and just an all-around evil person. Where are those Epstein files, donald dumbass?
NEW: Governor Newsom will be holding a press conference and rally at 11:30 AM PT tomorrow in Los Angeles regarding redistricting. The announcement is chef's kiss.
Zelenskyy: "I told President Trump and all our European allies that Putin is bluffing. He's trying to push before the Alaska meeting on all directions of the front. Russia wants to occupy the whole of Ukraine. This is his wish ... he does not want peace."
Donald Trump desperately wants America to be a police state. Let us never allow that to happen. Today’s show, have a listen.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
More real-time fact checking of the Liar in Chief please!
Ok DC its your turn now. Show em how it's done. Sending you all love from Portland
What flag makes you feel safer in a neighborhood? I’ll start. 🏳️🌈 🙋🏻
It’s disgraceful, but it’s always been true. Trump is on Putin’s side. Duh. He always has been.👇
Election results, jobs numbers, crime data, American history. We can’t believe anything Trump says. Not one thing. Hat tip to @TheRickWilson.bsky.social & his book “Everything Trump Touches Dies.” It’s also always been true that “Everything Trump Touches Becomes A Lie.” And here we are.
Well this is utterly no good. This is dangerously provocative. This is Trump looking to make trouble, looking to incite violence. This is the stuff of dictators.
That's all fine and well, but they’re no longer concerned about losing because they plan to manipulate the system in their favor. If that fails, they’ll simply disregard the results and do whatever they please. They have no intention of relinquishing power to any party other than their own.
I swear like two or three days ago Enten was on air saying Trump had weathered the Epstein scandal and proved himself politically untouchable. The whiplash is intense, and to me his affect on tv is bizarre.
I can’t overstate how dangerous this is. ‘White House reviewing Smithsonian exhibits to make sure they align with Trump’s vision’ Translation: Donald Trump and his administration are continuing their assault on Black history, and on any history that doesn’t center and glorify the white man…
There's a ... more accurate term for this ... 🤔
I literally mention that in my reporting!
Entities in 19th century Sugarland used slavery and involuntary servitude to supply the often deadly labor necessary to grow sugar. SRD honors those who were forced to labor under these conditions. 10 days til SRD. Sign up to attend here: tinyurl.com/4343mzj4 #CountDowntoSRD
Trump sure loves declaring emergencies. There is no emergency here now Trump & his unsavory, unqualified, immoral bunch of cowardly lying sycophants are the emergency we are faced with.
It's so disheartening. We're at the start of a full military state, and with everything trump is doing, I feel certain he won't leave when his term ends. And what will anyone do? NOTHING, because by then it will be too late, and he'll ruin this country and crown himself king, a dictator!
This is sad. New video shows FBI, MPD, and DEA agents patrolling the streets of the Georgetown neighborhoods of Washington, DC, like it’s some kind of war zone. This isn’t a “crime emergency” — it’s pure political theater by Trump.

Imola Automotive USA, a Florida-based startup, planned to build six EV plants & create 45,000 jobs in struggling towns in Georgia, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. But, more than 18 months later, the company hasn’t broken ground on a single site. And its top executive is MIA. From @floodlightnews.org:
