Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.
Today they attacked two journalists.
We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.
Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.
Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for peopleβs wellbeing at every turn.
We have been sent here to fight for people.
Folks β this is not a normal government shutdown.
Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.
Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.
Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:
βPeople of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israelβs genocide, Israelβs illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israelβs use of starvation as a weapon.β

Iβve been through government shutdowns. This one is radically different.
Hereβs what is at stake, and why Democrats must hold the line. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/this-shutdown-is-different
It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home.
Thank you to former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra for explaining.
EMERGENCY MEDICAID REIMBURSES HOSPITALS FOR CARE TO UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE BY LAW HOSPITALS CANNOT TURN AWAY ANYONE IN AN EMERGENCY.
RONALD REGAN SIGNED THIS INTO LAW.
This is illegal, and yes this is the same guy who claimed he'd never heard of Project 2025. But there's a larger point to make here about public service. No one who wins elected office wins 100% of the vote. But everyone who holds public office represents 100% of their electorate.
We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
Trump is now gloating about meeting with Russ Vought of "PROJECT 2025 Fame" to apparently determine which "Democrat Agencies" he wants to cut during a shutdown.
Remember when Trump denied knowing about the authoritarian playbook and many pundits and politicians gave him a pass?
Relatedly, someone really should fund a lawsuit by ppl who got home-invaded, assaulted, and kidnapped by ICE agents without a warrant.
Yes, SCOTUS will throw it out. Make them. Let Roberts and his fellow Republicans on the court tie themselves to this hideous and also hideously unpopular atrocity.
SCOTUSβ new term begins Monday, giving it a chance to further erode voter access and the power of minority voters. AFJβs Rachel Rossi highlights key cases β from Louisiana redistricting to mail-in ballots laws β that could undermine democracy. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...
Is it our governmentβs position that if an American commits a drug crime with a cartel (or they allege that) it can just kill that person without trial even if not an immediate threat? I am genuinely trying to understand what if any lines they believe exist. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...
Donβt look away
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (π₯: Elias Eliahu)

LOS ANGELES (AP) β A judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests in Southern California.
Please help!
Screenshot from Whitehouse.gov: "Last night, President Donald J. Trump highlighted many of the egregious examples of waste, fraud, and abuse funded by American taxpayers, including $8 million spent by the Biden Administration βfor making mice transgender.β The Fake News losers at CNN immediately tried to fact check it, but President Trump was right (as usual). FACT: Under the Biden Administration, the National Institutes of Health doled out millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants for institutions across the country to perform transgender experiments on mice."
I love that this is an official white house statement. What do they want me to say? "Thank god they stopped the transgender mice, they were the leading cause of inflation!"
I shouldn't be suprised. I expect nothing less from someone as spineless and vile as DJ Akademiks. But something about that tweet just pissed me off. He's getting back to his roots, profiting off of the dead.
Screenshot of a tweet by Akademiks TV: "Nipsey Hussle and Drake before the culture murdered him in LA" There's a pic of Nipsey Hussle and Drake with a Stake ad edited onto it
Any black person who's willing to go out of their way to slander other black people for validation disgusts me! This loser consistently misuses his platform to harm the black community, by equating culture to violence! The fact every tweet he spews out doubles as a gambling ad makes my skin crawl.

"Itβs shaping up to be the worst flu season since 2009, according to data from the CDC, with a βvery highβ level of spread in a number of states.
The CDC says there are so many cases that this season is now classified as being 'high severity' for all age groups."
