VIDEO OF THE DAY: South Park hits Trump where it hurts the most
Who would've thought an irreverent, primitively animated cartoon show that first aired in 1997 on basic cable would come to lead the resistance against fascism in America in 2025? What a world. Roll the tape!
Take Action: Demand Congress raise the minimum wage!
Karoline Leavitt says the Democratic Party's main constituency is "Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals" in head-spinning interview
Please remember, though: liberals, progressives, and Democrats are the ones who MUST dial down the incendiary political rhetoric!
Former school board president launches campaign to put a stop to Greg Abbott’s carnival of corruption
Gina Hinojosa for Governor: Gina Hinojosa was just an ordinary Texas mom — until Greg Abbott tried to close her son’s public school as part of his plot to turn our schools into for-profit schemes. Gina got involved in politics to fight back, her journey taking her to the school board presidency and the state legislature. Now she’s running to kick Greg Abbott out for good and put an end to his kleptocracy of MAGA extremism and flagrant corruption. Will you chip in to help kick-start her campaign?
ICE agents arrest WGN producer on her way to work, shove her to the ground and pull her pants down before throwing her into unmarked van and speeding off
Debbie Brockman, a producer at WGN in Chicago, was on her way to a local bus stop when she was attacked by jackbooted Border Patrol agents, who violently shoved her to the ground, handcuffed her, and exposed her buttocks before throwing her in an unmarked van and taking off, even smashing into a bystander's car in their haste to leave the scene of the crime. Brockman was later released without charge after being held for SEVEN HOURS, despite being accused of "throwing objects" at federal agents and "assault." Brad Thomson, one of her attorneys, said in a statement, "If armed, masked, federal agents are snatching US citizens off the street as they walk to work and throwing them in unmarked vehicles, you can only imagine what these agents must be willing to do to our immigrant neighbors and people who dare to speak out against them!" Brockman's abuse at the hands of lying ICE agents is a reminder that NONE OF US are safe from Trump's goons, and we must stand with our immigrant friends in solidarity against fascist violence!

New York Young Republicans delete website and social media after incredibly racist, ultra-violent, Hitler-praising chats leak
Haplessly scrambling to staunch the bleeding after being exposed for the irredeemable racist dirtbags they truly are, the New York Young Republicans opted to simply "Control-Alt-Delete" their presence online. Funny thing about the internet, though — it never forgets and it always keeps receipts.
Take Action: Tell Congress to build clean energy now!
Stephen Miller puts his $3.75 million home in Arlington, Virginia, up for sale after raging over anodyne sidewalk chalk messages
Antifa strikes again! With sidewalk chalk! Super scary neighbors in Stephen Miller's posh Arlington, Virginia, enclave left incredibly menacing chalk messages on the neighborhood sidewalk — like "trans rights are human rights," "no white nationalism," and "stop the kidnapping" — leaving the far-right, anti-immigrant ghoul and his family no choice but to sell their 6,000 square-foot home and flee to another affluent part of town where neighbors just might be a little more tolerant of their raging intolerance. Just a thought: if demonizing and dehumanizing anyone who doesn't look, act, or think like you is your entire modus operandi, maybe don't move into a neighborhood where nearly four out of five voters cast ballots against your cult and its abominable leader.
ProPublica discovers ICE has detained or arrested 170 US citizens
The Trump administration doesn't bother keeping track of how many US citizens get thrown into the gulag, so ProPublica started tracking it for them — and they found that more than 170 Americans have been detained, some for days, without being able to contact their loved ones or a lawyer and often suffering abuse in custody. This includes TWENTY children, two of whom had cancer. Many of them had their Real IDs on them, which the ICE goons simply ignored in their obsessive drive to inflict wanton cruelty and get their Stephen Miller Brown People Quotas™ up. Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased, and shot by immigration agents. They've had their necks kneeled on. They've been held outside in the rain in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when ICE thugs detained them. One of those women had already had the door of her home blown off while Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem watched. We're way past "first they came for..." They're coming for ALL of us, folks.
Trump and Republicans FREAK OUT over October 18th "No Kings" rallies!
No Kings: Congressional Republicans and the right-wing propaganda machine are having a full-blown meltdown over the planned "No Kings" rallies this Saturday, in which millions upon millions of Americans will take to the streets in every state to protest the Trump team’s efforts to dismantle our democracy and make Donald a dictator. Republicans are working overtime to smear the protesters, because they know that their lies fall apart when people see a nation united in its devotion to the democratic ideals of the American republic and opposed to Trump’s authoritarian agenda. Click here to find a rally near you, put on yellow clothing, and do your part to remind the world that America has NO KINGS!

Pakistani security forces hunted and killed anti-Israel protesters by the hundreds while its prime minister nominated Trump for Nobel Prize
As Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was nominating Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize — for the second time — during the Gaza "Peace Summit" in Egypt, a large anti-Israel demonstration organized in Pakistan by a religious extremist group normally aligned with the country’s powerful security services was met with a violent crackdown that left scores dead, possibly as many as a 1,000 people, protesting the normalization of relations with Israel. In a highly unusual move, Pakistan’s military-aligned media aired coverage of the violence, including an interview with a local man who claimed he saw more than 600 dead bodies. Such a claim would never be aired on that network without approval from the military, suggesting the establishment wanted to send a message to the people of Pakistan, without raising an international outcry.
Mamdani torches Cuomo as "Trump's puppet" at NYC mayoral debate
State Assemblymember and current mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani blasted former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for being Donald Trump’s alleged "puppet" as the two sparred over their ability to stand up to the White House at a mayoral debate on Thursday. Cuomo, who resigned in disgrace from the governorship in 2021 after at least 11 women credibly accused him of sexual harassment, is running as an independent — with Trump's backing and blessing — after losing in the Democratic primary to Mamdani this past spring. "You'll issue a statement that doesn't even name the president. And no matter what you think about Donald Trump, you know that not even being able to name him is an act of cowardice," Mamdani said. "That is what we would see from Donald Trump’s puppet."
Senators will force a vote to prevent war on Venezuela without approval from Congress
One day after America's wannabe dictator admitted to green-lighting CIA operations in Venezuela to destabilize President Nicolas Maduro's government and hinted he was considering "land operations" to ostensibly trigger a regime change, a bipartisan group of senators has announced it will force a vote to stop Trump from unilaterally declaring war on the South American nation of 28 million. Hey, would you look at that? Something mildly resembling a backbone in the US Congress. What a novel idea! "The pace of the announcements, the authorization of covert activities, and the military planning makes me think there's some chance this could be imminent," Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine said yesterday. Uh, yeah. Pretty fucking obvious, Tim! The MAGA cult leader himself literally told reporters on Wednesday: "We've almost totally stopped it by sea. Now we'll stop it by land," referring to the US military's extrajudicial killings of suspected drug traffickers in the Carribean Sea.
