#ICE agent shoots man in #Austin, #Texas

The ICE officer rammed the man’s car then got out of his federal vehicle & opened fire at least 5 times, said Mike Siegel, who represents Austin’s District 7.

The #shooting occurred in the early afternoon on the city’s north side, & police & the mayor later spoke about the details of the incident.

The man was taken to a hospital in unknown condition, Siegel said.

💕 Hundreds of supporters of the John F. #KennedyCenter for the #PerformingArts gathered Friday as the sun set over the Potomac, surrounded as much of the building as they could, linked arms & chanted, “Hands off! Hands off!”

For the first time in what felt to them like ages, their beloved #arts center was brimming with life.

This has to be one of the funniest consequences of Trump’s attempts to bully Canada. Those mid terms are looking promising (provided you can afford to wipe your bum).

#Journalists from #CNN & #MSNOW were denied access to the #WhiteHouse grounds on Saturday, a day after #Trump announced a ban on 3 #news organizations because of reporting he disliked.

Akayla Gardner, a White House correspondent for MS NOW, said that her White House-issued access badge failed to work at the security entrance where reporters typically enter near the West Wing.

But uh.. for reals

Apparently in this reality the so called 'President' of the United States is trying to convince people that #Canada is the enemy and North Korea are friends

At this moment I truly am interested what other realities have to offer because the level of idiot is truly going through the infinite roof in this one 🌌

“I have a big decision to make,” Trump said. “Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival, and no hope of future greatness or generations?"

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins.

Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

#Military leaders warn #Hegseth against extending #IranWar ops

*Several* #US military leaders advised Defense Secy Pete Hegseth that prolonging large-scale operations against #Iran is unsustainable & risks weakening their ability to confront threats elsewhere, including the US #homeland, acc/to people familiar with a recent assessment for the #Pentagon chief.

#Independence movements can be sincere and genuine, but also a vector for #fascist #geopolitics to weaken countries

example: #Brexit

Problem is, success breeds arrogance. So when #fascism goes mask off with their intentions, that alone becomes a powerful uniting force, countering #separatist #psyop

example: #Finland + #Sweden joining #NATO

There are other examples:

" #Quebec separatist leader says no independence #referendum until #Trump leaves office"

“The US has struck a deal with Venezuela to control more than 65 billion barrels of its proven oil reserves, Donald Trump announced.”

Wait, the same Venezuela where the US attacked in the middle of the night, kidnapped the President and then installed someone else who said yes because they didn't want to also be kidnapped by the Americans? That person agreed, fully of their own decision making ability, to let the guy with the gun “control” its most valuable national resource?

Same guys who have been diverting the money from “controlling” Venezuela’s oil to an overseas account that is not in Venezuela?

So just straight up robbing a whole country at gunpoint? And now getting them to agree to formalize the arrangement? I have some questions.

The move was an escalation of Trump’s showdown with the White House #press corps after he moved to bar journalists from the 3 outlets.

Major #television networks agreed to suspend their pooled coverage of Trump after the White House refused to allow CNN to serve as a pool representative on Monday.

#Google Maps changes #LakeOntario to ‘Lake America’ in #US searches

Anyone in the US searching for Lake Ontario on #GoogleMaps can no longer find it as of this weekend.

Users in the country will now see the smallest of the #GreatLakes identified as “Lake America” on that site, following #Trump’s idiotic executive order on Thursday mandating the change in how the US government refers to the lake amid his tense #trade war with #Canada.

A blistering good read:

https://sninews.org/2026/08/28/seneca-nation-president-addresses-president-trumps-call-to-rename-lake-ontario/

"We will always call Lake Ontario by the name derived from the language of our ancestors – the name that, like the strength and influence of the Seneca people, will live on forever, long after the intrusive political tirades of individual men"
