Democrats should make crystal clear that whether it is high level Trump officials, commanders carrying out illegal murders, or ICE/CPB goons, investigations and indictments are comingβ€”referring to state AGs if Trump blanket pardons for federal crimes.

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more

that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

If there is any silver lining to this whole foul era, I hope it at least persuades progressives that this strain of thought that views restricting trade & immigration as some kind of boon to the working class has always been dumb and ugly.

Not sure this looks much different from how it would look if Trump had flown the Lolita Expresss into the White House

(RNS) - Last Friday (Oct. 17), the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister in the Chicago area, stood alongside other protesters demonstrating outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. As a line of Illinois State Police began marching toward her and other demonstrators, gripping wooden batons, footage shows the pastor with her hands raised in prayer.
Officers then pushed into the protesters, forcing them back.
One officer shifted his stance, reared back and began shoving his baton like a battering ram - jamming it repeatedly, Kardon says, into her leg. A few seconds later, the pastor was pulled from the crowd and thrown to the ground.
All the while, Kardon says, she never stopped praying. When officers began to arrest her, they tied her arms behind her back and placed her along the curb.
"I said, 'God, please help these people to know that what they're doing is wrong, and help them to turn around," Kardon, who leads United Church of Rogers Park in Chicago, said in an interview. Her leg, she said, has developed visible bruises.

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy β€” Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals β€” have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants.

"What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

In light of new information, I, uhh, withdraw my objection to the 77 year old white lady who does *not* have a Nazi tattoo on her chest.

I will be submitting all relevant forms to the bureau of retractions and submit for my flogging.

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs

Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

They can be identified regardless of the mask, the technology exists to do this and is in use (eg Clear can do this at the airport). Masks will not protect these people from accountability.

all of these videos are horrifying. what feels so singularly striking and scary to me in all of them is the individual seething contempt and rage of these agents

Hegseth writes "narco-terrorist" because someone begged him to use "terrorist" to fit with their new claim these are enemy combatants, but he's not very bright, so his description makes clear they just murdered more civilians because they thought a boat was carrying drugs.

That's a crime.

More than anything, they want to be patted on the head and told they're a good boy by the liberal elites

South Koreans Describe Fear and Anger After Georgia ICE Raid Some of the workers arrested this month at a Hyundai-LG factory said that although they had entered the United States under murky circumstances, they had always planned to return home.

it's super unsubtle the way center-right corporate media thinks progressive good faith popular reform is a bigger threat than the complete demolition of democracy at the hands of authoritarians

No doubt because at this point it’s too much of a stretch to imagine that these people wouldn’t already be in cabinet positions

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".
