All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced. Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.

UPDATE: US DOJ lawyers have filed a motion asking Judge Karin J. Immergut to dissolve 2nd, broader restraining order that bars president from placing any National Guard under federal control in Oregon. Though Immergut gave state 24 hrs to respond, the feds ask that she rule w/o state's response.

Tactics grow more aggressive as ICE agents target Latino communities at worksites, schools, homes and public spaces across the Portland metro area. Here are examples.

Hello from Broadview ICE facility, where approximately 300 protesters have gathered to protest, as they do every day Things are tense and hard to parse. County Police surrounding some vehicles. Absolutely massive number of cops down the street. Peaceful, but I'm not sure that's gonna matter 🧵
A 1776 flag and a blow-up koala, plus several protesters and some barriers Maybe 10 cops in tan shirts and riot helmets surrounding some vehicles. Protesters in front of themA ridiculous number of cops in riot helmets down the street. 40? Hard to say

An urgent question. According to the FEMA Daily Briefing a presidential disaster declaration was requested on October 16th. To the best of my knowledge it hasn’t been granted. Any event of this size should be an easy and immediate yes.

The amount of money we are giving to Argentina amounts to $450 per resident of that country. But we're not even giving it to people there who need it, we're giving it to prop up Elon's pal, the corrupt President of that country, who'll then shovel some of it into the pockets of Trump's friends here.

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today
I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane. This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.

We also call for an end to the Trump administration’s ongoing attacks on immigrant workers and the cruel use of ICE raids to spread fear, tear apart families, and threaten working people. 

UAW members are proud to join with our broader labor movement in standing up against these attacks on immigrant workers, and are in full solidarity with President Huerta and our SEIU siblings.

I remember going up into the bell tower of an old Catholic Church in Hanoi, Vietnam. My timing was impeccable as I witnessed a small Viet man jumping off a wooden platform like Tarzan, hanging from a rope, while using all his body weight to ring the midday church bell [repeatedly].
