Here's a brilliant billboard campaign to put important messages before the National Guard troops being deployed to US cities! Another illustration of doing what we can, where we can. A model for us all! taskandpurpose.com/news/vet-gro...
Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes
“Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

Here's an issue from the Purdue Univ. student paper, The Exponent, dealing with the IU censorship of their student paper. Purdue put it in IU news boxes. (Purdue & IU are normally huge sports rivals.)

Based on early numbers, there are easily more people participating in the second No Kings Day than in the first. Trump's strategy of constantly talking about this on TV and GOP govs sending in the national guard obviously energized the left. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I am a Purdue alum and currently work at IU Indianapolis. Can confirm.
Incredible. If you grew up in Indiana, you know what a big deal this is.
Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

the whole article could have just been ten pages of “Brilliant Things Eleanor O’Brien Said,” and some gold was left on the cutting room floor, but this is such a banger of a closer and it’s so very much the theme of today

Can someone on a Sunday show interviewing a Republican member of Congress please play a damn montage of Trump, Vance and Hegseth making speeches to active duty military trashing Democrats and ask them if they think that is appropriate?

Asking for a Republic.

This is why ridicule is an effective form of protest. Convening an Emergency Naked Bike Ride is ridiculous in the first place; having it give Mike Johnson such vapors that he calls it “the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet” is so over the top it’s ridiculous. Just perfection

Well, think we’re gonna be 3D printing a bunch more Aztec death whistles
Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Religious movements are *always* internally contested. It is not for historians/outsiders to decide which party to the contestation represents the “true“ version or deserves exclusive use of the movement’s name/label. Their job is rather to describe the internal diversity as accurately as possible.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

The problem is we think the Nazis were competent so we don't recognize murderous half-mad conspiracy dumbfuck as the fundamental building block of fascist regimes.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

The goal of these groups—and they’ve said this at press conferences I went to—is to incite state violence against people they consider their enemies.
On Friday, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio announced on his podcast that because "it seems like [the] Portland Police Bureau is not doing their job," "the Proud Boys will be coming back to Portland" in "one capacity or another."
