More details are emerging on what happened at last week's Department of Homeland Security raid of an apartment building in South Shore, Chicago. "Masked agents made people line up outside the building, where they asked each resident their name and country of origin before lifting their shirt to check for tattoos," a team from South Side Weekly report. "Federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building — including children and babies — placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours." According to a DHS statement, 37 people were arrested, including four children.

Joshua Aaron, creator of ICEBlock, has asked Apple to reinstate the app in its online store, telling CNBC in an interview that when the app was first submitted it had been through a heavy review process, and that he is consulting an attorney. The app, which can be used to anonymously report sightings of ICE agents and other authorities, was removed after pressure from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. The FBI claimed that a gunman who attacked a Dallas ICE facility used apps that tracked ICE agents. Aaron likens it to apps that allow drivers to report sightings of law enforcement officers so they can warn others and avoid speeding tickets.

Great idea!

"Yes, New Jersey should sue the Trump administration, but we have to do more. We should be withholding federal taxes, dollar for dollar, to backfill funding that’s illegally cut.

The state should also eminent domain Trump’s golf course in Bedminster and build some affordable housing there instead. If the federal government won’t stand up for New Jersey, Trenton should."

Federal workers are being told to spread GOP propaganda:

"At 9:35 am on Wednesday, the first morning of the US government shutdown, employees at the Small Business Administration (SBA) received a template from human resources for their suggested “out-of-office” email. They were advised to blame the Democrats."

Hearing any #USnews one hears pundits, politicians and journalists say things like:

"this is out of step with our principles and traditions" or
"this is against all norms" or
"this is beyond the pale…"

I keep yelling at the radio "OMG did you ever think to write any of this stuff down, you know, as a LAW or anything!?"

As they spiral into autocracy it sounds like their system's entire bulwark against it is simply: "Well, a gentleman would never do such a thing!"

"The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed," writes Garrett Graff for his Doomsday Scenario newsletter. He chronicles why he feels that today, August 25, 2025, is a date to remember. "Everything else from here on out is just a matter of degree and wondering how bad it will get and how far it will go," he writes. "Do we end up 'merely' like Hungary or do we go all the way toward an 'American Reich'? So far, after years of studying World War II, I fear that America’s trajectory feels more like Berlin circa 1933 than it does Budapest circa 2015."
