Photo: Concord, CA-October 3, 2026- Immigration court demonstration.

Community members gathered at the Federal Immigration Court location to raise awareness and support of those that have been wrongfully detained by ICE.  The community also raised voices in opposition to unwarranted military actions as well as other unjust and violent acts by ICE and other federal government agencies.  This event was organized by Indivisible Resisters Contra Costa, a grassroots, nonpartisan group advocating for policies to support immigration reform, campaign finance reform, universal healthcare, racial justice, and to protect our environment.

Come join us next week and make your voice heard!

For the first time in more than a decade, Democrats have a shot at winning a trifecta and making real change. Voting rights. Fair maps. Union rights. All three are on the ballot this year.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

No cost to taxpayers...except for the $352 million they redirected. Along with $300+ million of military/security spending. And the ongoing expense of the building and staff. But the ballroom part was truly sycophant funded. www.axios.com/2026/08/21/trump-ballroom-construction-supreme-court

Supreme Court allows Trump's ballroom construction to proceed for now
The Trump administration is adamant the $400 million extension is necessary for security.

The most consequential achievement of an authoritarian leader is not initially convincing enormous numbers of people to embrace authoritarianism. It's convincing enough people that authoritarian behavior will no longer be punished.

We should have learned that you can’t manage a public health crisis by ignoring it. Politicizing science and weakening disease surveillance doesn’t make threats disappear, it only makes us less prepared to respond.

Masks, plain clothes, unmarked vehicles, rapid vehicle interceptions, weak body-camera coverage and categorical post-shooting narratives is architecture that increases civilian uncertainty while decreasing state accountability. That is backward from what a high-risk enforcement system needs

We should be asking- Can the public still meaningfully reverse the machinery through ordinary politics? When the answer becomes “technically yes, practically no,” you are in Orbán territory. When the answer becomes “no, and trying is dangerous,” you are in Putin territory.

China gave Trump just enough to let him sell a win domestically, but not enough to make it look like Xi had bent. That's a pretty sophisticated diplomatic move. It preserves China’s dignity, supports the optics of parity, and keeps US companies dependent on Chinese approval not US leverage.

Trump was warned this would happen. He did it anyway. Now, over 10,000 Veterans lost their homes. 90,000 more are on track for foreclosure. On top of cutting jobs, slashing benefits and throwing our heroes into an unnecessary war. The most anti-Veteran President in history.

A bill passed the Senate last night 100-0 to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA. If Speaker Johnson called it for a vote it would pass easily. But he won’t do that. Because Trump has ordered him to keep TSA shut down and keep the chaos. Pure incompetence.

This isn’t a joke or persuasion. It’s a power signal: “Watch what we can do, and see who stops us.” When no one does, that silence becomes the lesson. That's what's being tested. Lines only hold if we hold them together.
