To @govmurphy.bsky.social: As a Jerseyite (Bloomfield) and an American, I was deeply disappointed by your answers on #AskTheGov suggesting you may not sign the Immigrant Protection Package. You said signing these bills would just be a “feel good moment” that wouldn’t change much and hinted 🧵

Your action could prompt Trump’s forces to crack down worse on NJ (perhaps he has already threatened this?) Governor, can’t you see this is the same argument used by capitulating law firms and universities? You also suggested the bills don’t do much - but there are real substantive protections in

the package. AND while part of your act of signing these bills would indeed be symbolic, that symbolism of a major state STANDING UP TO ICE’s CRUELTY UNCONSTITUTIONAL OVERREACH is essential now. Creating a “feel good moment” for the citizens of our great state who have been fighting Trump’s

authoritarian push would be an enormous boost to fortify us all for the resistance ahead. And Governor, that matters. Respectfully, Julie Cohen PLEASE SHARE

Glimmers of Hope Dept.: Calif. wins in court over congressional districting. Dems are fighting back against Trump's lawless efforts to tilt the 2026 elections. All across the nation, we must vote in record numbers to retake Congress. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

Republicans weasel out of providing any kind of Constitutional check on Trump's lawless conduct in Venezuela...or anywhere. (And I apologize to all weasels for this invidious comparison.) www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Not just Sen. Mark Kelly: The corrupt Trump DOJ is coming after the other members of Congress who warned about the military following illegal orders. Of course. We must stand with these lawmakers as they fight the Fascist Regime. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Even the Bozo Fascist Regime attempting to shake down the Danes and Greenlanders by demanding whatever JD Vance is demanding, with the threat of military action, is disgusting. Trump/Vance have made our country repulsive. I stand with Denmark & Greenland. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

We'll need a Lincoln Brigade to aid the Danes/Greenlanders if the fascists invade. The fascists being us. Fascism breeds absurdity as well as horror -- the prospect of Denmark having to rev up its tiny military in response to American threats. What's next, a U.S. invasion of Venezuela? Oh, wait...

Good to see Trump apologist Bari Weiss fail. Every signal of resistance helps. But I think this particular dude's fizzle has more to do with his transparent arrogance than his subtle appeasement of the fascist powers that be. Either way, good stuff. Boycott CBS! variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Rogan is part of the problem, but he can be part of the solution, too. I agree with @filmmakerjulie.bsky.social that we have to welcome every type of resistance/skepticism/sarcasm/scorn/testimony/sacrifice. That's what solidarity in the face of fascism will look like.

Yes, he is horrifying. But one way to look at our current situation: NOTHING he is doing is working.

What are you waiting for Gov Murphy? Sign the 3 Immigration Protection bills into law. This issue brought 100s of us to lobby in Trenton. And tens of thousands to the streets of NJ this weekend. DO THE RIGHT THING, GOVERNOR. IT CAN BE YOUR LEGACY.

Call Gov Murphy at 609 292 6000 (long hold music but eventually you get a person). Text him at 732 605 5455. Listen to the chorus of your constituents crying out against ICE’s cruel, unconstitutional actions. Pass the Immigrant Protection Bills TODAY.

"Fish, family, and freedom!" Mary Peltola has a shot at flipping a GOP Alaska Senate seat and helping Dems win control of the Senate in 2026! I'm sending in my donation. LFG, people! www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/o...

Yet another fascist stunt: intimidating journalists, threatening prosecutions, corrupting the FBI as he has corrupted ICE, Border Patrol, etc. The Bozo Fascist will keep pushing and probing in his campaign to undermine the rule of law and expand his power. Resist! www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

Danes and Greenlanders are already our stalwart allies. We already have military installations in Greenland. We do NOT "need" Greenland. We should not endanger NATO. This is more Bozo Fascism: assertion of power to accrue more power, making us LESS secure. Resist! www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Just one fascist move after another: now, cutting the US off from visitors from abroad as a way of further inflaming xenophobia at home and alienating allies overseas. We must use nonviolent protest and voting power to remove the Bozo Fascist and his lackeys! www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Minneapolis (and Chicago, and LA, and Portland, etc.) constitute tests by the regime to see whether martial law is feasible. Is it? Will we tolerate military occupation of our cities and abuse of nonviolent residents? Or will we resist? Let's resist. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

Cracks in the wall of the Fascist Regime: More federal prosecutors are honorably resigning rather than become tools of the regime's oppressive campaign to prosecute victims of ICE brutality in Minnesota. Respect for these public servants. Resist. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Storm trooper cowards.

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

Here's a thought: ALL fascists start as wannabe fascists. What makes the difference is how much resistance they encounter on the way to their goal. So please RESIST. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Trump's fascist DOJ fired the veteran career prosecutor brought in to run the US Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Virginia for disgraced/incompetent Lindsay Halligan because he wouldn't pursue the case against Comey. Bravo to Robert McBride for standing up. www.ms.now/news/trump-d...

“The story underlying all others is that on December 19, the U.S. Congress passed a law that the DOJ release all the Epstein files…and it has not done so.” Keep that in mind as you watch: ICE abuses in Minnesota Madness in Venezuela Threats to Greenland Investigation of Jerome Powell.

This but going on for 5 blocks in both directions. Both sides of the street. Montclair Police estimate 1,000+ joined in. This was our 47th consecutive protest in downtown Montclair NJ and the biggest yet. #ICEOutForGood.

And we care about what the deposed Shah's son says about anything...why again? Just because Fox News gets an interview with the exiled scion of a dictator does not mean the NYT has publish the results. Aren't there better sources on the situation in Iran? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/w...

Unfortunately, the "moderate" Republicans are cowards.

Respect for our hardy friends in Alaska from (relatively balmy) Essex County, N.J., where we had 1,000+ people on the street, protesting peacefully in Montclair AGAINST ICE. #ICEOutForGood

I stand with Jerome Powell.

This is what community looks like. 🧵 #ICEOutForGoodMontclair

Turns out they ARE "his" judges. Corruption. Note the distinction between the appellate judges and the district court (trial) judges, who show much more independence (because the regime's ideological police pay less attention at the district court level). www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Jeanine Pirro, Fox TV personality/Trump flying monkey, now a lackey federal prosecutor in D.C., has opened a fake investigation of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell -- punishment for Powell's defiance of Trump's pressure to raise interest rates. This is fascism. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

This photo of @schumer.senate.gov joking around with Marco Rubio makes me sick to my stomach. Rubio and the rest of Trump's lawless, venal, evil gang are destroying America and Americans. There is nothing to smile about with these people. Schumer is so unfit for this moment. Just fucking go.

Usha Vance was just bragging on IG that she taught her middle son to read when he was four so it won't be long until JD's kid can read articles like this calling his father a "moral stain" on the Catholic faith.

‘ICE Out for Good’: Protesters Flood Montclair Sunday Protesters lined the sidewalks in Montclair Center Sunday afternoon where a weekly rally against the policies of President Donald Trump swelled to over 1,000 people.

1,000+ at our #ICEOutForGoodMontclair event. So proud of this community. So proud of US.

Like at this pathetic excuse for a human being. Modern day S.A. These thugs must be stopped. And the way to do it is truly massive nonviolent protest: so many people that there's nothing these coward bullies can do.

Our dark reality: masked storm troopers NOT investigating immigrants who are violent criminals but attacking protesters. This is what ICE has become: a modern day S.A., Hitler's bully boys and murderers. Resist nonviolently, massively. We can stop them if we turn out armies of protesters. Resist!

Clarifying that the great Timothy Snyder is rolling out some sarcasm here. #ICEOutForGood

Agree that this is dumb bell, false equivalency "journalism." The legacy news organizations are struggling to adjust to our fascist era -- and often failing. Rethink, old school journos, or you will become irrelevant.
