it's as simple as i see no evidence that national dems intend to resist, let alone stop, fascism, and i want to convice folks to stop relying on them to do so. because fascism must be stopped and they are in the way. that's it. that's my whole entire thing.

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

Surprise! Britain's most popular newspaper fervently believes that ICE are the good guys. By an extraordinary coincidence, the same newspaper supported the Nazis in the 1930s.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

trump and gop want to kill us in all sorts of ways

Trials now for every ICE agent. Every collaborator. Every single one. Today.

None of us, white guys with guns or international citizens or immigrants, are safe under this administration. But if we stand together, we can win. Bovino is out. Noem is next.

really quite funny that weiss is a one-trick pony and that trick is “give jobs to my dumbass friends”

A reminder that Maura Healey is the ONLY Democratic governor in New England governor to have a collaboration agreement with ICE. Healey, despite her words, continues to use OUR tax dollars to provide free labor to ICE. Let her know it's time to de-ICE MA. www.mass.gov/info-details...

Hours after Alex Pretti was executed, Apple's Tim Cook went to the WH for the debut of the Melania 'documentary' His taste and his timing disgust me. I won't pretend I'm giving up the laptop I'm writing this on, but I'm not buying more of their stuff anytime soon. spyglass.org/tim-cook-cap...

What she said

Two things to learn from this. 1. The rightwing newspapers are lobby groups whose purpose is to advance the class interest of their proprietors. 2. Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

Good morning with good news: EU reached the historic milestone of 30% wind and solar for all of 2025! That is up from 12.66% in 2015 & 19% in 2021. Solar generated 13.2% & wind 16.9% in 2025. China was over 20% W&S in 10 of 12 months and ~22% in 2025. US was near 19% W&S in 2025. #energysky

My old college classmate, a part-time TikTok influencer, just openly wondered on Instagram whether something's wrong with her TikTok algorithm. TikTok's sale to the Ellisons has been finalized. The best time to delete the app from your phones was yesterday; the second-best time to do it is now.

Stop reading Bezos’ pet blog

Not hard to explain: (simplified) The Arctic Ocean used to contain a huge ice mass that helped to lock the North's coldest air in a vortex near the North Pole. But that ice is mostly melted, and the vortex is now unstable, sometimes moving thousands of miles south. This is part of climate change.

Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown. Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

The IRA launched a manufacturing renaissance, Trump is working hard to cancel it.

If trump were russian agent / asset / idiot, would be do anything differently?

This is insane… US Dollar share of global reserve currency has fallen to its lowest levels this century. It’s literally unprecedented.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

It was never about tyranny.

Speaking of, 2026 Democratic primary challengers to @whipkclark.bsky.social in MA-05 are: Jonathan Paz www.pazforthepeople.com Tarik Samman tarikforcongress.com

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

The peaceful protest continued down near Downtown Crossing station in Boston with repeated chanting.

MA-05 needs to be represented by someone who will fight from the leadership position our Democrat loyalty enables, and this ain’t it chief

Reporters should be asking congressional Republicans what *other* kinds of Americans they think deserve to be executed in the street by the president's goon squad. "So you support the murder of a mom and a VA nurse, but what about an Eagle Scout or a kindergarten teacher? How about a priest?"

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

We’re going to have to systematically dismantle this cancerous movement. - Strip the dark money groups and political churches of tax exempt status - Target right-wing media with antitrust - Oust right-wing bullshit from academia and law schools - Root out fascists in government and law enforcement

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

DOJ lies. DHS lies. ICE lies. That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies. They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

jake tapper is a loser who argues about word definition with A BOOKSTORE OWNER.

Appears this is also true for fascism.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

"Cypress Tips January 2026" newsletter is out: cypresstips.substack.com/p/cypress-ti...

the problem here is that politics is not just about elections. we're facing a massive fascist assault on the constitution. a D party focused only on elections is failing the constitution and the country. 1

It's the only reasonable move at this point, everyone should boycott unless games are moved outside the US

All these things are true: Electric vehicles ARE better than ICE vehicles, despite their issues. When vehicles get “better,” too often people buy BIGGER vehicles & drive even more. EV’s still pollute, take too much space, lead to too many deaths etc Fewer cars, less driving is the REAL solution.

The trump administration signals that violence towards federal agents is the only remedy in response to their violent actions

No. It’s not cosplay. He really is a fucking Nazi.

Since DOGE began its work, 277K federal workers are out of a job This represents the largest peacetime reduction of the federal workforce EVER Hardest hit (in terms of pure numbers) are Veterans Affairs and the IRS But...ICE employment is UP 29%

The UK gov has finally released the Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security report. We face catastrophe. Why aren't politicians acting? I think some are - but in ways perhaps just as frightening. My latest for Technosphere Earth. www.technosphere.earth/no-war-on-a-...

If food systems collapse - and it is an entirely reasonable worst case scenario that they could - then it is highly likely it would trigger biblical levels of migration and conflict.

It has been clear for decades now that politicians, businesses, and the public are failing to make the obvious link between climate impacts we can be highly certain are coming and what they are likely to mean at the societal, economic, and security level.
