Hey friends,
Here are some things you need to know about today. Spoiler alert: none of them are good, but you should still be aware of what’s going on. The only way to stay safe is by staying informed.
It’s rumored online that large-scale ICE raids are expected this week in Anaheim, California, with a particular focus on Disneyland and its surrounding neighborhoods. If you know anyone in the vicinity, please ensure they are aware of the need to exercise extreme caution when traveling in the area.
ICE has aggressively expanded the 287(g) program, granting local law enforcement the power to enforce federal immigration laws. This move empowers officers to racially profile, detain, and collaborate in the deportation of citizens during everyday policing, despite mounting concerns about rampant unchecked authority and the further destruction of whatever fragile trust might remain between police and community. ICE has initiated 514 new agreements with local law enforcement agencies across 40 different states since January 2025, with at least 315 departments already adopting a task force model allowing for full cooperation with the Nazis.

This weekend’s catastrophic Texas floods—leaving at least 82 dead and dozens more missing—are the grim, predictable result of Trump, Musk, DOGE, and their scumbag Republican enablers gutting NOAA and the National Weather Service. By firing experts, slashing funding, and sabotaging the very agencies meant to keep us safe, these bastards crippled America’s disaster warning systems, leaving communities across the nation exposed to disaster. The blood of innocent Texans, including dozens of children, is on their hands and I’ll be goddamned if we ever let them forget it. Flood alerts in some areas were delayed or inaccurate, costing lives that could have been saved if not for the senseless destruction of these once perfectly functional weather agencies. Texas is just the first to pay the ultimate price, but more communities will suffer the same fate. I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it—Trump and his regime want to see as many of us die as possible, and this tragedy is a sad confirmation of that belief. While Texas families were searching for their missing loved ones, Trump was golfing at his Bedminster property in New Jersey, wasting taxpayer dollars—true to form for the orange pig fucker who’s never met a crisis he couldn’t ignore or somehow manage to make worse.

As of today (July 7, 2025), the USDA has quietly approved the restart of livestock imports from high-risk regions in Mexico, ending a two-month ban aimed at stopping the spread of screwworm—a flesh-eating maggot that infests open wounds in warm-blooded animals, primarily livestock (but occasionally humans). The case for going vegan just got a whole lot stronger. [source]
It should be bigger news that Der Führer is proposing we bring slavery back. During a speech last Thursday in Iowa, he said that he might let farmers “take responsibility for their undocumented workers so they don’t have to go.” This is a thinly veiled blueprint for modernized slavery. By tying undocumented workers’ legal status to their employers’ “taking responsibility” for them, he’s suggesting these workers be “owned” by the farmers who employ them. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime where the person has been duly convicted—language that has long allowed forced labor to continue legally for incarcerated people in the United States. Rest assured, Trump’s lawless regime will skirt the lawful conviction requirement. He’s essentially rebranding indentured servitude as immigration policy and creating a legally sanctioned underclass ripe for abuse and exploitation. [source]
I don’t typically waste time reporting on distractions—such news is irrelevant given everything we’re up against, but this level of gaslighting deserves brief coverage: Pam Bondi’s DOJ and Kash Patel’s FBI have jointly concluded that there is no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein kept any sort of client list, that he never blackmailed anyone, and that he definitely took his own life and was not murdered. For anyone who believes this state-sanctioned crock of shit, contact me for a good deal on oceanfront property in Arizona. I’m sure these official findings have nothing whatsoever to do with Elon Musk recently posting on X that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. [source]
Trump signed an executive order creating the Make America Beautiful Again Commission, a sham panel chaired by Interior Secretary and fossil fuel industry puppet Doug Burgum. This commission is nothing more than a smokescreen to greenlight the exploitation and sell-off of protected public lands. Cloaked in buzzwords like “responsible stewardship of natural resources” and “expanding access to historically protected public lands,” the real agenda is to fast-track the destruction of pristine wilderness—opening up vast swaths for drilling, mining, and fossil fuel extraction. In short, it’s about prioritizing corporate profit over the public interest and environmental preservation. [source]

Teenage kid: “Why do I have to ask your permission?”
Parent: “Because I’m responsible for you!”
Dog: “Why can’t I roam freely?”
Owner: “Because I’m responsible for you!”
Employee: “Why do I have to run everything past my manager?”
Employer: “Because they’re responsible for you!”
Responsibilities come with corresponding rights. If a person is legally responsible for another then they must, in every instance - bar none, have the legal right to exercise control over them.
When Trump says that farmers will be “responsible for” their undocumented workers, it necessarily means that the farmers will have control over those workers.
The farmers will tell their workers where to live (most likely on the property so the farmers can keep an eye on them), where and when they will go places, who they will associate with, what they will do in their spare time, and how they will spend their money.
So when Chris says that Trump intends to bring back slavery, it’s not hyperbole. It’s fact!
That is to say, anyone expecting elections are going to straighten this shit out is in for a grim surprise. I can promise you they won't, I seem, based on the predictions I've made for the precedimg decade, to have a real talent for recognizing patterns well before they are clear to everyome else, ffs, for example, I saw that trump was channeling Hitler immediately by simply replacing the word "immigrants" with "Jews", the pattern is instantly recognizable, today, it should be as clear as a bell to anyone. In 22, I said, over and over that Republicans were acting as though elections didn't matter, as though they had a "secret weapon" they would use at the last, ie, if you believe 24 wasn't blatantly stolen, I have some bad news. I am seeing the same pattern now, the elections will happen, but if the same equipment is used, the American Fascist Party (AFP) can't lose. I am telling you right now, if we don't rise up soon, it will be too late, by 26 there won't be much left, by 28, it will no longer be possible, or will be FAR more difficult. We have GOT to find a way to open the eyes of the apathetic, and if you got the means to prepare, now's the time.
