NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.
Since Trump entered politics, hate crimes upon LGBTQIA have more than doubled.
Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench. Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor? What a total disgrace. #OnYourSide
JB Pritzker calls for āall to stand upā to Trumpās immigration crackdown in Chicago
A mom who is a legal US citizen gets separated from her family by ICE GOONS after getting back home from a family vacation.
Dear Democratic Leaders, If you wonāt stand up for trans people and their rights, youāre tellling me you wonāt stand up for *anyone* or *any rights* the second they come under attack. Youāre telling me you donāt stand for anything at all. Also, theyāre *people*. Grow a spine or get out the way.

Actually this makes perfect senseā¦he knows the end is very near, he is afraid to die and knows that he screwed just about everyoneā¦he thinks a few nice comments at the end will make people not piss on his grave.
If that Trump Truth Social account posts an apology to someone, admits making a mistake, or accepts responsibility for something, then we will know something is definitely up.

Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
This is phenomenal messaging. Hello Democrats? Knock knock, anybody home?
šØ New CDC head Jim OāNeill is co-founder of the Thiel Fellowship, eligibility age 22 and under. If a young person is studying science, they must drop out of school in order to accept the $200,000 grant. The fellowship co-founded by our new CDC director incentives science students to drop out.

Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk: As Madam Chairwoman and I were heading to this location, we received information and recommendations from security to cancel the conference or move it somewhere else, because Belarusian soldiers with long guns had appeared there.
Raddatz: "One of the things that they're trying to do in D.C. with the National Guard is have them back up federal law enforcement." Gov. Wes Moore: "They're picking up trash."
Thank you @adamkinzinger.substack.com Trump cares so much for our National Guard....NOT!! Puts them on orders for 29 days only so they are not paid housing allowance or health insurance Adam Kinzinger on X ā¬ļøā¬ļø

Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

Palantir just took over the CDC. The head of the UK branch of Palantir UK is Louis Mosley, grandson of renowned British fascist Oswald Mosley. Palantir has 24 contracts with key UK public institutions; the NHS, Ministry of Defence, the police force, the Cabinet Office, and the DLUHC.

Give no quarter applies to principles too. When the enemy wants you to accept regressiveness, say no, there is no negotiating with fascists. Challenge them, walk away, build something new, do whatever but do not comply and do not compromise. #3E
Resistance is not a single action but a flurry of actions. Create: Voting blocs Protest blocs Legal blocs Mutual aid blocs Medical blocs Education blocs Self defense blocs Social media defense blocs Every action counts if taken in the same direction. #3E
You canāt vote your way out of regressive fascism, that said voting is not useless. Itās a twist on a tourniquet, it helps tighten the wound so the body doesnāt die, however it wonāt permanently stop the bleeding on its own. Every action counts and all put together youāve got a shot at victory. #3E
While you are looking at Trump, the oligarchs are seeding themselves deeper into the fabric of society, your government, and your resources. Your media is captured, your institutions are captured, your politicians are captured, and your algorithms are captured. A full system reboot is needed. #3E
Joseph Stiglitz is an American Nobel Prize-winning economist and public policy analyst - Says Trump has no clue about economy.
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, heās not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.

The media needs to stop calling this an āimmigration crackdown.ā Thatās not what Trumpās doing. Heās using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: theyāre not backing down.
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kidsā futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
Trump wants to get rid of Housing First, which has seen great success and doesnāt require sobriety to access. Critics donāt like it because they see it as a giveaway. But hereās what they donāt ā or donāt care to ā understand about programs based on compassion 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/30/m...

Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,

"We are watching and we are taking names." This is where Pritzker has leveled up over his fellow Dems, by promising a future of accountability and retribution for the destruction Trump and his minions are doing to the constitutional order and our individual freedoms. newrepublic.com/post/199800/...
Israel is now denying US senators (aka their patrons) from even seeing what they have done to Gaza. But the genocide is made up.

I tried to schedule a COVID vaccine at Walgreens and CVS. Both have appointments available but, because I'm not 65 yet, I have to get a prescription from my PCP. I hate this government. I'm afraid to wait in case they really do yank it altogether. #COVID
Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.
Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in governmentākeep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
If you donāt believe that Trumpās authoritarianism can be defeated, look at how scared MAGA is of chalk:
Labor Day reminder: Trump thinks workers have too much time off.
We should support trans people simply because we should. And we should support trans people because when we build safety for those most marginalized, we build systems of safety that ultimately benefit us all. And we should support trans people simply because we should.

A recent Rand study found $79 trillion was stolen from the bottom 90% of income earners. The problem in America is not a lack of abundance. The problem in America is that a handful of oligarchs are hoarding all the abundance for themselves. www.levernews.com/how-to-end-d...

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
It's time to stop paying taxes. This is nothing more than awarding the same fucking fake Christian charlatan assholes who already don't pay taxes who put this monster in office with our tax dollars!
Venezuelan dictator Maduro prepares countryās army for possible clashes with the U.S Maduro has been touring military bases and staging patriotic rallies with Venezuelan soldiers amid the prospect of a U.S. military operation.

An element of fascism is a kind of upside down where the meanest, most rapacious, and least virtuous of society are loosed to bully and abuse people who genuinely uphold civic ideals of service and sacrifice. Public service isnāt what the system is about. Itās about conditioning the national body.
