October News Briefs

The War on America Begins

After the September 10 assassination of racist debate bro Charlie Kirk, the regime has gone on the offensive. An executive order declared Antifa (short for anti-fascist) a domestic terrorist organization. Trans folx have also been targeted. The regime then issued National Security Presidential Memo-7, which declares that “anti-capitalist, anti-Christian, and anti-American views and speech” are “indicators of terrorism.”

Trump and Hegseth then gathered the generals from all branches of the U.S. military to ready them to use American cities as live-fire training grounds in the fight against the “enemy within.” The regime has now deployed soldiers to Portland, Chicago, and Memphis in addition to the nation’s capital. Make no mistake: we are all targets of this war.

ICE Raid Shutters Frisco Restaurant

In a September 16 raid, Homeland Security Investigations and ICE kidnapped two workers and seized computers from the popular Mexican restaurant Hacienda Real. According to Alex Sanchez with Voces Unidas, six more people were abducted on September 25, and an additional two workers were kidnapped on September 26. Summit county locals have taken to the streets to protest these violations of their community.

Luis Rivas Deported

It is with great sadness that we report that Luis Armando Rivas has been deported to Mexico. We previously reported on Rivas’ seemingly illegal arrest on June 3 in Glenwood Springs. He will be missed by his community in the Roaring Fork Valley. We remain, essentially, the only news outlet covering this important case and the questionable method by which he was arrested.

Rev is Missing Aiden McVay

Aiden McVay has been in our thoughts a lot lately at the Rev. McVay was a regular contributor to The Revolutionist. They covered the LGBTQ+ community with love, compassion, and a fierceness that was evident to their readers. Aiden passed away in October 2024, and our hearts are still heavy with loss.

Over 1,000 People Disappeared from Alligator Alcatraz

After a judge ordered the infamous Alligator Alcatraz detention facility to be shut down, nearly two-thirds of the people detained there have disappeared. Families and attorneys are frantically trying to locate their missing loved ones and clients. The Miami Herald is reporting that 800 people have disappeared from ICE databases, and another 450 have no location listed. Some might still be in Alligator Alcatraz, others might have been deported, and others might be elsewhere in the labyrinthine ICE detention system. Weeks have now passed, and most of these people are still missing. It is hard not to fear the worst.

157 Nations Now Recognize Palestinian State

France, Malta, Andorra, Belgium, Monaco, Luxembourg, and Andorra formally recognized the Palestinian state. They were followed by Canada, Australia, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. Now, 81% of countries on the planet recognize the Palestinian state.

Abundance Debunked

Ezra Klein penned a ridiculous essay after the Charlie Kirk assassination that should make clear to any thinking person where his loyalties lie—at least when push comes to shove. Klein is well known for his recent book Abundance, which has gained traction with the right wing of the Democratic Party. It has long needed debunking, as it is capitalist, right-wing propaganda parading as progressivism. Now, it has been debunked.

The Revolving Door Project released a report in August titled Debunking the Abundance Agenda. In September, they followed up with The Abundance Ecosystem: Understanding the Figures and Groups Behind the Abundance Agenda, which exposed the conservative billionaires pumping money into this astroturf movement.

New Polls Show Capitalism Losing Ground to Socialism

A recent Gallup poll found that just 54% of Americans have a favorable opinion of capitalism—42% of Democrats, 51% of Independents, and 74% of Republicans. Meanwhile, 39% of respondents viewed socialism favorably, including a super majority—66% of Democrats.

Trooper Arrested for Exploitation of a Child

The Colorado State Patrol has faced serious issues with troopers being arrested in recent months. Most recently, Trooper Luke Zellman was arrested for sexual exploitation of a minor in Colorado Springs in early September. Another trooper was charged with domestic violence in August.

War Against the Cartels and War Crimes in the Caribbean

The regime continues to build up military forces in the Caribbean and has attacked at least four vessels on the high seas, in violation of international law. At the end of September, Trump issued a confidential memo to Congress declaring that the United States is at war with drug cartels. He designated smugglers as “unlawful combatants” and cartels as “non-state armed groups.” We’d suggest he read The Fort Bragg Cartel by Seth Harp—because the enemy might be calling from inside the house.

Homeward Bound Closed

Grand Junction’s only homeless shelter is facing a budget crisis, of epic proportions. Homeward Bound moving forward will be closed Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

CBI Agent Resigns

Colorado Bureau of Investigations agent Joe Somosky was forced to resign after being charged with Bigamy in July.
