The Reichstag has unanimously enacted the following law, which is promulgated herewith:
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

I am profoundly grateful for small press publishing @essaypress.bsky.social @pamenarpress.bsky.social @omnidawn.bsky.social @solid-objects.bsky.social THANK YOU! Here is The Garden. My writing owes so much to the generous people behind these presses.

I was just thinking this. One person basically holding it down for everyone. How we got here - I do not know and it is not fair - and I'm eternally grateful to our friend.
Thankful today for @robmclennan.bsky.social’s single-handed effort at sustaining an entire side of the poetry world.

Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.

That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.

He’s going to kill people for oil.

Work is 70% theater of friendship and 25% theater of crisis. The remaining 5% is actual friendship.

Trump promised the tariffs would help lower grocery bills. Dept. of agriculture has money from tariffs and he is barring them from using that money to fund SNAP. Tell everyone who voted for him (the not-rich ones, the rich ones don't care). Also, ball rooms easily funded. Hungry kids, nah.

Leftists everywhere are winning elections and rising in polls by refusing to pander on the right on migrant rights, trans rights, Palestinian freedom etc. Let these lessons sink in, I beg

Murderers. They are simply and disgustingly murderers. Our "leaders".
October 28, 2025 at 5:55 PM
They are murdering people for no cause. This is totally illegal and deeply immoral. The international community should rise up against Hegseth and Trump immediately. Every newspaper should be screaming. Instead, we quietly note another boat goes down. They are manufacturing crisis at home and war.

"Side by side, the AI video and the leaked chats expose a single pathology: sexualized violence, racialized contempt, class superiority, and the thrill of domination disguised as leadership."

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Meantime, the shooter in Evergreen Colorado was said to be radicalized, law enforcement having found numerous firearms and a QAnon mask in his home.

About the outrage over Klein's oped: He is clearly afraid for his own life. That's what is driving the oped. I would be too if I were a very public pundit right now who had JUST called for the shut down of the government in response to Trump fascism.

These are the names of the people who have died in US immigration custody over the past year, almost all under 50 yrs. old, some in their 20s. This list does not include those who died running from ICE.
