Protesters took to the streets on Saturday to protest a Border Patrol operation that began in Charlotte, North Carolina. The operation, named Charlotte’s Web, was expected to last at least one week. Today's scheduled rally is expected to be bigger as folks watched ICE raids starting in the city.

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people.

They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe.

Share it widely.

Kristi Noem is telling bald-faced lies about ICE arrests.

More than 70% of those detained have no criminal convictions.

170+ of those arrested or detained have been American citizens.

You can literally watch Reagan’s words side-by-side with Canada’s ad.

They didn’t misrepresent anything.

Trump is lying. Again. As usual.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

This. 👇👇
Gentle reminder - Erica Chenoweth's peaceful resistance number of 3.5% for _sustained_ protest- generally stops govt from functioning and forces it to leave / resign/ call elections.
#NoKings is effective for many things, but not sufficient alone for regime change

Everyone should listen to this.

It’s easy to blame Rogan for understanding the situation far too late, but the important thing is that he’s using his platform-with his millions of listeners-to talk about it now.

This one show will reach more normal GOP folks than we ever could.
The con worked, until it didn’t?

ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”

ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.

This is dedicated to all the great people who will be protesting tomorrow.

Tonight's song selection is from Woody Guthrie - All You Fascists, 1942.

"I'm gonna tell all you fascists you may be surprised
The people in this world are getting organized.".

Stay safe, have fun! Goodnight Bluesky! 💙

What a pity. The unwashed masses will again have to learn the lesson of how bad socialism is by us telling them how bad it is, violently preventing them from getting it, and blaming current problems on it anyway.

Sen. Schiff to NBC: "He's described me as the enemy within. He's described other Democratic elected officials as the enemy within. He is using the Justice Dept. to go after his political enemies, and he's using the Justice Dept. to protect his political friends … This should concern every American."

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

ADP numbers for September were -32,000 on a projection of +51,000.

August was revised to -3,000, marking the first consecutive negative months since the heights of Covid.

This is bad.

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come.

The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid

Have compassion.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

Gov. Pritzker: "ICE is running around harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace. That’s not making America great."
