Troy Jackson: "The gentleman's name was Johan Sebastian Guerrero. He had a 3 year old daughter. The only mistake he made that morning was going to work. Because Sen. Collins is not willing to stand up to Donald Trump, he was murdered in the streets of Biddeford for doing nothing wrong."
🚨"We want ICE the f*ck out of our neighborhood! I am pissed off, I am outraged, ICE does not belong in the Bronx or anywhere in this city!" -Vanessa Gibson, Bronx Borough President, after ICE shot man in the Bronx with his 5-year-old in the back seat. WE'RE LIVE NOW🔽
A man in the Bronx was shot by ICE agents this afternoon. They appear to show the victim in handcuffs, held on the floor, screaming for help. ICE agent Brandon Cuni can be clearly seen holding a gun in the air. Several witnesses say he fired the shot. This agent has a violent past.
Susan Collins claims that our reporting about CEO Martin Kao’s bribery allegations took him at his word. That’s not true. We reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records. Here’s how we independently corroborated much of Kao’s account.
Watch: We Uncovered Bribery Allegations Involving Susan Collins

NY City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams spoke at an emergency press conference tonight following the shooting of an unarmed father in the Bronx who was picking up his 5-year-old son. Williams said the federal government will try to paint the victim as a criminal in order to justify this shooting.
The shooting of a New Yorker by ICE agents today is deeply disturbing, especially amid reports that a child was in the car when shots were fired. I’m relieved the man is receiving medical care and the child was unharmed. But enough is enough. New Yorkers deserve the full truth about what happened.

“Once inside the ICE facility, she continued to ask why she’d been arrested. ‘You spoke too much, that’s why,’ came the reply, according to María. ICE agents then said, ‘You should have thought about it before speaking up to defend your friend.’”
Gabe Ortíz@tusk81.bsky.social · 4d ago“Why are you taking him if he isn’t the one you were looking for,” farmworker María told the masked agents who were harassing her friend. “At that moment they turned toward me and said they would arrest me, too, for asking questions and complaining.” americancommunitymedia.org/immigration/...
The US government has jumped headfirst into insanity. Under Pete Hegseth, the US military will now subject soldiers to religious tests of their "spiritual fitness". This comes from a military that insists that bombing a school full of children was perfectly fine. ffrf.org/news/release...
FFRF investigates Hegseth’s new religious office at Pentagon
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is launching an investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s alarming creation of a powerful new Office of Religious Affairs.

The article ends with a neighbor of John Roberts: “…she left the picnic. The next morning, she protested her neighbor for the first time, grabbing a sign that said ‘Justice for All’ and paddling back and forth in front of his home, hoping he would see.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u... #MEPolitics

Pete Hegseth announced a new military project today, to create a force of thousands of robot soldiers. It’s named Project Agincourt. The Battle of Agincourt was infamous, even in medieval times, when King Henry slaughtered French prisoners, an atrocity. So, you trust those robot soldiers?

As someone who grew up along the shore of Lake Ontario, I have to ask: When Donald Trump renames Lake Ontario to Lake America, will he also rename the Town of Ontario, New York to the Town of America, New York? Will he rename Ontario County, New York to America County?
