It's exhausting to be so angry all the time. My soul is weary and I can't seem to turn the anger off. Not good for me or anyone around me, really.

I've known this was coming for years, but it's still gutting to see it. Of all the bullshit that's come from Trump and this regime, this is among the bullshittiest. Just devastatingly evil and corrupt.

There is literally no better example of textbook fascistic thinking than "Who cares about human rights when the rich are doing so very well"

Oh no. 💔

Y'all, ICE thugs are still terrorizing people in Minneapolis and St. Paul. They are counting on America looking away, and it's currently working. Please tell everyone you know, please reach out to people with huge followings, and ask them to help refocus our attention on the ongoing abuses.

This is a crucial point. Fascists are actively driving social, legal, and economic penalties for dissent. A lot of elite actors and institutions have collaborated or gone silent. Making defiance as visible, relevant & widespread as possible is not going to fix things on its own, but it is a net good

Folks, if you’re here on Bsky (looks like you are), and you also have a Ring camera doorbell, then for the love of [fill in whatever matters most to you here], go rip that muthah outta your wall this instant. Bc otherwise, you’re about to be a narc for ICE, DHS, CBP, PD; maybe Palantir; who knows?

Yup, there sure was an ICE propaganda ad during the Super Bowl in the DC / DMV area. Appalling.

To paraphrase: If you can’t embrace BB’s message for all of us, FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE. #LoveNotHate

Yeah we kinda knew this for a coupla years here. This is why I will not repost links to substack.

In case you missed it. An ICE Out protest broke out in Milan, Italy on Saturday. Denmark also protested again yesterday, too.

Olympics opening ceremonies are honestly some of the most bonkers things that humans do together. Just bonkers. I love it.

Our president is and always has been a racist. Openly. Proudly. Our president is and always has been a criminal. Openly. Proudly. Either you support him. Or you oppose him. Openly. Proudly. I oppose him because I have honor. And he has none.

I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. 😌

JD Vance was just ruthlessly booed at the Olympics during the Opening Ceremony when he was shown on the screen. But you would never know by watching the broadcast on NBC.

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.

What he said.

as a journalist, the gutting of wapo makes me anxious; as an american, it makes me terrified

Punxsutawney is a punk.

No water, no heating, no power, -15 degree weather outside. It is not on the front pages of your newspapers, but Ukraine is living through a humanitarian disaster right now because of Russian bombardment and the world has barely noticed.

He's gonna tear it down, isn't he? I have a nostalgic attachment to the Kennedy Center, igniting long before I lived in the greater DC area. But I won't step foot in it again until absolutely every atom of his existence is eradicated from it. It makes me ill.

💗

Oh shut up loser.

Love to see it.

Don’t listen to people who say all politicians are crooks, or that everyone lies. You know who says that? Crooks & liars. They see in others what they are themselves. But most people aren’t crooks & liars. Most people are decent. And we have had enough of these crooks & liars

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

Sooooo.... THAT was January...

ICE boxes in a legal observer and draw their guns. They arrested her, but the local police chief later managed to get her released. Minnesota www.mprnews.org/story

🧵🧵🧵 I'll be collecting reviews of the "Melania" movie in this thread. 🧵🧵🧵 Variety: "A Cheeseball Infomercial of Staggering Inertia"

How exactly does one "protect your peace" and not scream into the void that everything is awful? I'm not doing this right, apparently...

The date for the next No Kings Day is set. But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

This is a funny looking deescalation. Sure looks like they're ramping up their capacity to arrest, detain, deport, and terrorize Americans exercising their constitutional rights. Should Senate Dems give the regime the benefit of the doubt and agree to more funding for DHS?

Suozzi voted for ICE funding last week and issued a preening self-congratulatory press release afterwards bragging about bucking the Dem Party on the vote. FAFO.

The public needs to get better at owning forms of media and setting up ownership structures so they remain in public hands in perpetuity and can’t be pawned off to oligarchs as soon as they start to become popular/valuable.

A lot of people gathered tonight outside the Department of Veterans Affairs in D.C. for a vigil memorializing Alex Pretti, who worked as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital.

BOYCOTT Target Hilton Enterprise Home Depot Spotify and any other fascist collaborators...

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head. There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government, & they want this

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Family of Alex Pretti, who was shot dead in Minneapolis today, releases statement: "The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs."

Everyone who voted for him owns this. They voted for this. We were all warned, explicitly.

Tell your senators to rein in ICE NOW act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

His personal opposition is irrelevant - his actual job is to unite the House Dems. It ain't over til it's over - now's the time to push for a strategy shift. Call your rep and ask them to: 1) Publicly oppose ICE funding 2) Call on Jeffries to whip the vote prospect.org/2026/01/21/j...
