Students chased out ICE goons when they were spotted tailing a school bus on 260th st in Federal Way, Washington. 👏 🔥 👏 🔥 👏

LISTEN to the statement by Alex Pretti's sister, Micayla: "Vote for Ale... vote for ALL of the victims of ICE, vote for your community and your neighbors. Alex stood up for his community so now it is time we stand up and fight back." #BlueWaveIn7Days #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Two more facts to remember as the election nears: 1) US average gas prices under Trump are now higher than under Biden. 2) Under Biden, the spike in prices was caused by actions outside the control of the US--Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Under Trump, the spike was 100% caused by Trump's actions.

Housing, healthcare, groceries, gas… the cost of everything is skyrocketing, and Alaskans are getting crushed. We need real solutions to the affordability crisis, not a senator like Dan Sullivan who enriches himself and turns his back on communities.

Truth. The rest of the world recognizes what's happening here.

Your current government is proto-fascist and your foreign policy is sold off to the highest bidder, provided that bidder is not a democracy. Your current President should be in prison for inciting an insurrection against your Parliament, but that failed to happen because your Supreme Court is bent.

We shouldn’t have to watch our kids leave Southern Illinois to find the opportunities they deserve. I want families to build a good life here, with work that pays the bills and healthcare close to home. After twelve years of Mike Bost, we deserve more than another request to be patient.

In 1948, Medicine Crow was appointed the Crow Nation’s first Tribal Historian and Anthropologist, a role he held for more than 50 years. From 1951 to1981, he worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a land appraiser, using his position to protect tribal land boundaries and resource rights. /6

#ResistanceRoots Joseph Medicine Crow was born on this day in 1913 on the Crow Reservation in Montana. He was an anthropologist, historian, writer and the last traditional war chief of the Apsáalooke (Crow) Tribe. He dedicated his life to preserving Indigenous oral history and tribal culture. /1

Nine months ago, we saw federal agents kill Alex Pretti. Since then, the federal government has lied about him and refused to share evidence with the local law enforcement investigating this case. His family deserves justice, and that starts with sharing evidence.

Alex Pretti's father: We wish Alex was alive. This administration has taken that away from us. What we've been treated to is cruelty. By Dan Rosen in the US Attorney's office, from the Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has ignored our letter begging for information. They've shielded Alex's killers.

This weekend, I attended the 25th Annual Oceanside Día de los Muertos Festival!

What a beautiful celebration of life, community and culture. It was great seeing so many neighbors come together to honor loved ones and share traditions.

The Army awarded an artillery shell project to General Dynamics in a rushed process without the typical vetting. The result: a fiasco in a Texas factory with robots in flames and half a billion dollars in taxpayer funds that yielded no usable shells. (Published August)

propublica.orgThe Costly Blunders in the Army’s $533 Million FiascoProPublica revealed how a rushed effort to arm Ukraine with artillery shells wasted half a billion dollars in taxpayer funding. Here are the biggest takeaways from that reporting.

Working people are struggling to make rent and pay for groceries, and President Trump wants to sell you a $5000 hamburger at his private golf club. (Fries and a drink extra.)

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."

Jared Kushner helped MBS cover up the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. During Covid he seized PPE to stockpile & took millions in PPP loans. Then he got $2B from the Saudis. I'm not suggesting Jared's corrupt as fuck, I'm saying it outright! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Jon Ossoff: A mighty wave is building because people's lives have gotten worse, while they see the president raking in billions of dollars for himself, adorning his walls in gold and building monuments to himself. It's an obscenity and an outrage. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

An emergency order — Makes one wonder if there are more injuries happening to our troops than what is being reported, a known circumstance that our soldiers will be injured in the near future or Hegseth is medicating soldiers for battle. Maybe all of the above.

Trump: "I don't give a damn. We're making a fortune." Guess who "we" is? Him, with $81 million in oil and gas stocks and more trades than all 535 members of Congress combined. Make your voting plan and send that "we" a message at the ballot box. #BlueWaveIn7Days

This seems a bit concerning. The Pentagon is seeking emergency authorization to deploy Wafermine — a fast-dissolving, sublingual ketamine wafer — as a non-opioid battlefield painkiller for our troops. The manufacturer is pursuing an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA.

​With the midterms coming up & everything that has happened the last 9 months, I felt like I needed to post something. Ignorantly, in the past, I only voted in presidential elections. Now I am voting in any election I can. Alex stood up for his community so now it is time we stand up & fight back.
