The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Along with his brother, Josue Trejo-Lopez was deported two weeks before his high school graduation. He’d been in the US since he was 10 years old, had no criminal record, and left behind his mom and little brother. 🎧 Hear his story on this week's episode of Reveal:
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:
Happening now: smelled a chemical smell wafting from the parking lot, went to check it out. It's Chicago ICE agents unwrapping and assembling a stack of fresh riot shields.
It was bad enough when government officials claimed that journalists incite violence by reporting. But now, they’re accusing reporters of actually committing violence. The supposed violence by reporters? Recording videos.
The Onion News Network truck is currently stationed outside the Broadview ICE Detention facility just outside of Chicago.
The Trump admin’s attempted federal takeover of Washington, DC law enforcement and deployment of the National Guard threatens the freedoms and economic security of working people in the district, including more than 150,000 local union members. America’s unions say: Free D.C.!
More people in DC than in Wyoming or Vermont. Coming up on Alaska and North Dakota. Per capita, we pay more federal income tax than any of the states. (Incl NY, CA, CT, etc.) Voice in Congress: Zero. Have never before felt as much DC-specific patriotism—across race and class—as now.
Every goddamned thing Harris said was going to happen, has happened. Every fucking thing Hilllary warned us about, is being made reality in horrible fashion. You never fucking listen to the women, when they are the only who can see thru the bullshit to the truth. Fuck all y'all that wanted this.
A Georgia Republican, Tori Branum, claims she notified ICE of undocumented immigrants at the Hyundai plant in Georgia. The same factory ICE raided Thursday and arrested almost five hundred people.
Today's #WeAreAllDC protest in downtown Washington, D.C. demanding an immediate withdrawal of federal troops from the District and an end to the federalization of the local police department.
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

i don't think a lot of you understand what's happening. if they can declare transgender people mentally ill, then they can do it for anyone. and they will. they'll say homosexuality is an illness. they'll say women have hysteria. all the old invented pseudoscience will return in service to them.
"Let's Call the 'GREAT' Gaza Post-War Plan Exactly What It Is: Ethnic Cleansing" The ridiculous and leaked 'Riviera' proposal offers Palestinians just $5,000 to leave & includes projects like the 'Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone,' writes Palestinian lawyer Diana Buttu for Zeteo.
A searing testimony on America’s retreat from global leadership. This piece shows how cutting USAID erases decades of progress, betrays our values and harms millions. Read it to understand what true diplomacy and quiet American greatness once looked like.
ICE is at New Jersey and M Street SE
Hey Faux News, know what I can't take seriously? ICE and their current partnership with white supremacists, Nazis, and fricking Klan members. I also can't take ICE seriously when it comes to their insane need to try and remove Kilmar Abrego Garcia. #SheShed
As Trump proceeds to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War, let's revisit @revealnews.org chat with The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief about Pete Hegseth, what he learned from “Signalgate," and America's risk of entering WWIII.

After the Trump administration slashed the US international aid budget, an outbreak of Ebola in Congo is testing the global health community's emergency responses
🚨 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s order arming 2,000 Guard troops in D.C. breaks 150 years of precedent, deepening Trump’s push to centralize power and raising the prospect of soldiers as permanent fixtures in American civic life. open.substack.com/pub/theintel...

If you are a US veteran and have combat experience, if your views deviate from kissing Trump’s whole ass and from MAGA’s shitting on the constitution then the Trump regime is watching you closely. Palantir is likely being used to target you. Stay alert and be aware.

Q: “The DNC posted in support of Zohran. You’ve met with him twice and still declined to endorse him. Are you out of step with your party?” A defensive @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : “I don’t know. I guess people are gonna have to figure that out.” 🤔 #AIPACShakur
The United States is now on the Civicus Monitor Watchlist. A global list of countries where there is a serious decline in respect for civic freedoms. The watchlist was updated in March 2025 and includes the US alongside the Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, Kenya, and Serbia. DOJ actions
Mamdani: Why should I debate Trump's puppet when I could debate Trump himself? If Trump is serious about this, he should come to New York City. We can have as many debates as he wants about why he is cutting snap benefits for hungry New Yorkers just to fund tax cuts for his billionaire donors
Massie: "Let me give you the name of one the billionaires - his name is John Paulson." "He is a major donor to the republican party, a major donor to the speaker of the house, a major donor to the president's campaign and he is in Epstein's black book." #OpDeathEaters #3E
We have it on good word that Trump regime troops will be moving into Chicago soon - very soon.
As ICE ramps up for more deportations under President Trump, Nicholas Nehamas, a Washington correspondent for The New York Times, talks with applicants at an ICE recruitment fair in Texas.

"Of 1950s (!!) Ireland, 75% of rural dwellings got their water from a hand-well or pump and the average household was pumping water around an hour and a half *every day* - almost entirely done by women. pre-industrial women worked more hours than men - memory-holed because it was 'women's work.'
🚨BREAKING: Cleta Mitchell thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next year’s vote.
The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading. It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.
Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

I'm going to be on with @velshi.com at 11 to talk about my article on the small acts of noncompliance that we can take against our dispicable government. I guess Summer is over. www.thenation.com/article/acti...
In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
To Chicago comrades & anyone else facing possible federal occupation: The National Guard is standing around for photo ops. DHS, ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, are working with local police to terrorize & kidnap our neighbors. Organize accordingly.
"US military conducts terrorist attack on Venezuelan ship" Fixed it for you
The footage of the military strike that killed 11 men has been declassified and released to the public. Trump’s administration claims the 11 men were members of the Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua which Trump classified as a terrorist organization, which gave him the excuse to do this.
BREAKING: Judge Breyer rules that President Trump's deployment of the military to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, says Trump is using military as a "national police force with the president as its chief." Injunction granted. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You won't see this on the news. In fact, you may not see this anywhere. Residents of Washington D.C. march up 14th Street on Saturday August 30, 2025 chanting "Troops Go Home".
It's often been debated if Trump could pull off a fascist takeover of the United States, because he's clearly not very smart. I talked to @anneapplebaum.bsky.social about that for my newsletter
Residents are finding all sorts of ways to fight ICE: They're recording and reporting. They're wheatpasting and sharing know-your-rights materials. And they're stepping up to care for each other, from delivering groceries to walking kids to school. 51st.news/dc-residents...
