NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

Boycott AMAZON and then donate to worthy causes the money saved by not ordering crap you don't need.

My grandfather saw this camp with his own two eyes serving as a GI. Ohrdruf changed his life. I cannot imagine what he would be doing right now if he knew about the concentration camps we were building here, but I probably couldn't post it if I could

Democrats must hold the line now more than ever. It’s their fight to lose.

Thank you @democrats.senate.gov for voting unanimously for Senator Sanders’ Amendment to strip ICE of BBB funding. Can you please demand the Sanders Amendment as a condition to fund DHS now that you’ve successfully separated it from the larger spending package?

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

this morning in the Mpls suburbs: "There were 5 Ice vehicles staged around this neighborhood and the elementary school, they seem to be watching to bus stops during school kid pick up and drop off. I believe they are trying spook kids/parents so vulnerable parents would expose themselves"

If you're in New York, please take two minutes right now to call Governor Hochul and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE. 518-474-8390. This is important.

Amy just days ago voted to confirm a full on MAGA Trump judge. She is also not doing anything publicly to lead and organize against Congressional Democratic Leaders who are scheming with Republicans to pour in more money into ICE. This is craven, performative bullshit from a Democratic Senator.

Imagine looking back at this time in a year, two years, ten years, and realizing that when fascists murdered moms and kidnapped five year olds and blinded people, you did... ...nothing. Don't let that be you. Look around. See what your neighbors need. Do SOMETHING.

Tom Suozzi represents the NY-3 district on northwestern Long Island. If there's any mayor or town council member in Syosset or Great Neck or wherever who wants to make their move, this is the time. Denounce this vote, promise you'd stand up to the goons, and you'd raise a million in a week.

"The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards." is a line that is both timeless and nails the predicament of the crisis we face in this precise moment.

Mamdani on Minnesota: "It's terrifying to see what's happening there ... I said this directly to the president: these ICE raids are cruel, they're inhumane, they do nothing to deliver that public safety. In fact what they do is leave a sense of fear amongst so many."

ICE at Midway Target and seem to possible be leaving. Lots of community members here

This agency is out of control if leadership is no longer checking violations of constitutional rights. Congress absolutely must step in before more people are kidnapped/killed.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Stop falling for the “untrained” narrative.

Hey, NYC, a friend is organizing a candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good -- 6 pm Friday, 1/9 in Harlem.

most americans dont know that republicans invented and are monthly subscribers to a kiddie porn generator you know how theyd learn? by democrats leaving the site and turning it into a national story

Make it viral.

This #KurtStreeter accounting of the shooting where video is reduced to a both-sides narrative—GOP says, Dems say--is shocking. What do you see Kurt, Joe Kahn, AG Sulzberger? Are there no verifiable facts? For them 2+2 may equal 4 or it may equal 5. Disgusting. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Foley Square Say her name: Renee Nicole Good

Emergency rally TONIGHT in NYC responding to ICE’s murder—Foley Square 6pm “We stand in solidarity with rapid responders in Minneapolis and the communities across the country who are choosing to build a movement grounded in love, solidarity, and unity.” @handsoffnyc.bsky.social @thenyic.bsky.social

It’s not like the Senate is part of the branch of government with the sole Constitutional power to authorize or prevent the President from invading another country. Every Single Time:

Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

i keep thinking about this. imagine being LIED to THREE times and your only request is ANOTHER MEETING.

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Pigs at the trough

Happy Zohran Mamdani is the Mayor of New York City to all who celebrate 😭❤️

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀 LA tow truck driver who towed ICE’s car found NOT GUILTY 🦸🏽‍♂️

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

I ❤️ NY

REP. RAMIREZ: “Tear gassing a 1 year old 🇺🇸 citizen… Dragging a citizen on her way to work out of her car… Throwing tear gas at a children’s Halloween parade… It’s time to have a serious conversation about defunding ICE.”

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.

Ditto to @harvard.edu. No one needs Summers. Fire him now.

I refuse to believe that Larry Summers' expertise and skills are indispensable in any way. Please find another economist and policy expert, @americanprogress.bsky.social. There are loads out there.

I just googled this man like 'ew who tf is this Tom Barrack guy' and the answer is the sitting, Donald Trump-appointed U.S. Ambassador to Turkey

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Unbearable

Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will
