It's A Phase

MAGA/ICE are persecuting migrant Christians 24/7 and don't mind Christian families being separated and children tormented.

Conservative Christians do not recognize other Christians unless they are white.

Wouldn't banks giving mortgages to 30,000,000 undocumented immigrants be traceable?

Are they all paying cash for these homes?

Buyers with decent income and documented credit history have a hard time qualifying for a mortage.

But undocumented buyers are 'taking' houses? That language sure is loaded.

JD Vance knows Blackstone has exploited the housing/rental market for families.

JD Vance knows hedge funds and private equity are buying up homes and rental units.

Using bigotry and nativism to spread lies about hard working immigrants is evil.

Vance's xenophobia and racism have created a complete fictional narrative.

[liberalsarecool]

White unseriousness is MAGA superpower. Mike Johnson feigning ignorance is an abuse.

Media, do your job. Press, get a backbone.

Trump will produce the kind of econonic results that only some idiot with six bankruptcies could deliver.

Capitalism depends on men with no integrity or morals like Trump and his Cabinet/appointees to focus solely on greed and corruption.

Taking food away from children and mothers is how conservative men show their power.

Power is all that matters. It's all zero sum. If children and mothers have food, conservative men feel they have less power over them.

Rather than share power, they would rather starve children and mothers.

An outrageous gathering? Fuck off.

Outrageous purposes? Fuck off.

This runt shut down the government to help the world's most famous pedophile.

Re goggles...do not wear swimming goggles. They shattered in a way that safety goggles do not and this can result in extra sharp plastic being added to your eyes. You don't want that. Unless you do, in which case...do that on your own time, not during protest time.

[victusinveritas]

Didn't make these suggestions, but if they help, woohoo. Don't take all of your protest advice from people on the internet though. Take it from the older protestor who has been through shit. They'll see you through.

I live in Chicagoland and have family friends who are brown and undocumented. It’s not good here.

[rosethornewrites]

I want to specify that the US government ICE agents rapelled from Blackhawk helicopters to take over an apartment building, breaking open apartment doors in the middle of the night to drag barely-clad residents from their homes and detain everyone in UHaul trucks with the children zip-tied to each other. Regardless of citizenship.

There was too much traffic today, and an ICE agent deployed a tear gas canister in traffic in response.

This is not normal.

[theplaguebeast]

From the very bottom of my heart: what the ACTUAL FUCK

[rosethornewrites]

It’s not even near me yet, but where I live there’s lots of brown folks so they’ll come.

This is surreal. We’re being attacked by the United States.

"ICE Agents Rappel From Black Hawk Helicopters Into Chicago for Major Raid" - MSN, published October 1st, 2025

[rosethornewrites]

Most mainstream media is barely covering it.

[bisexualbaker]

I genuinely wish I were surprised by that.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'

The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosi

Spread this far and wide - there's no paywall.

[theconcealedweapon]

You find out that the government is using tax money to give immigrants free healthcare, with no evidence that it's actually true, and you get angry.

You find out that the government is using tax money to kidnap and torture immigrants, which they do openly, and you celebrate it.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?

War Ravaged Portland.

From Rebecca Solnit:

My dearest wife,

It is week two of the Siege of Portland, and still these barbarians will not yield to our troops. We have severed the cords of their latte machines but they are making cowboy coffee in their camps, where loud ukulele songs of resistance even now drift in on the breeze. Our platoon has foraged for bush food, and is now forced to live on cacao nibs and gluten-free bagels, though Lieutenant Knickerbocker believes he knows where he can raid some salmon jerky. Not an Arby's is in sight, and the grumbling of my stomach is part of this ordeal. A mere child has from afar ruined our stew with her banana-slug catapult.

This is not the enemy our fearless leaders advised us to expect, in that they are all pale, even pasty, but defiant or rather not defiant but interested in longwinded discussion of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which our officers will not engage in as long as the enemy wears t-shirts blaspheming against our Lord and our leader. Nevertheless three of our men have defected, one lured by a tarot reading and a promise of dry socks, two went off to shut down a drag show and never returned. My own faith has been shaken by the discovery that Antifa merely means anti-fascist, and is not an organized terrorist group, but my commanding officer will not address what it means to be anti-anti-fascist.

A Golden Retriever has stolen my ammo belt, undoubtedly trained to do so by these infidels.. Will it never stop raining?"

More Solnit:

Scenes from "war-ravaged Portland," as Trump just dubbed it, and a few of my own from May. This is a very serious threat, but it's being made by the most delusional idiots of all time, and our mockery is part of our arsenal. They want to instill fear, and your snickers show they're failing.

Thanks to Melissa Quilter for alerting me to this thread of images over at the Bad Place.

Also adding this.

Rock Creek Park out here going: ya know what? We're making punk vests and jackets today. Our funding is going to be fucked anyway, so we're doing Jeremy's idea from the suggestion box. Next Saturday, we're doing a 24 hour showing of Harold and Maude. (This is the kind of shit park services should be doing and fuck Trump and anyone who wants to defund them).
