This. We’ve long left the point when ICE is focused on immigration. It’s a fear patrol, deployed against people—all people—to keep us afraid and in line.

Terrifying and prescient. We are deeply in this now. To stop it will cost lives. Not doing so will ensure even more lives are lost along with all freedom.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Some thoughts about 2025. This is one year I'm very glad to see end. agoodreedreview.com/2025/12/28/2... #2025inreivew

Sometimes it's nice to escape into a good book. Dan Brown's latest Langdon adventure is a wild ride and well worth a read. agoodreedreview.com/2025/12/22/b... #DanBrown #TheSecretofSecrets

Teri Kanefield has given us a gift, her new book - Why Intolerance and Extremism Happen. It's free! It's well-worth reading. It's only about 100 pages, and it really focuses what Teri's been explaining for years. agoodreedreview.com/2025/12/03/b...

I just finished reading Kamala Harris' new book, 107 Days. It's well worth a read. What she accomplished despite the disappointing result of her campaign is important as is her message that all is not lost. Together we can move forward and rebuild our country. agoodreedreview.com/2025/11/09/b...

While I'm now reading the latest book in Louise Penny's Gamache series, The Black Wolf, I recently finished reading its predecessor and wrote up some thoughts about The Grey Wolf. This series is well worth reading. agoodreedreview.com/2025/11/05/b...

I'm still very much enjoying Louise Penny's Gamache series. agoodreedreview.com/2025/10/24/b...

The seventeenth book in Louise Penny's Gamache series is well worth a read. It's controversial, and very hard to put down. agoodreedreview.com/2025/09/29/b... #GamacheSeries

Still working my way through Louise Penny's Gamache series. I know that book 20 will come out a little before I get to it, but that's OK. It'll be worth waiting for. Here are some thoughts about book 16. agoodreedreview.com/2025/09/27/b...

Today's HCR live session is a must watch. She does a deep dive into the Kimmel thing and free speech. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWTZ... #FreeSpeech

What does it take to be comfortable in our own skin these days? agoodreedreview.com/2025/08/27/c...

Got to review a new book by an author with whom I was previously unfamiliar. It's always fun to read something new, especially if it's a good story. agoodreedreview.com/2025/08/25/b... #MichaelCordell #legalthriller

This is an informative piece from Jay Kuo about what power Trump has, and more importantly, doesn't have to militarily take over blue cities. Hint, he doesn't have that power. substack.com/home/post/p-... #StopFascism

A very thought-provoking piece about how a blue state coalition could stop U.S. fascism. We're truly in uncharted territory now, and this goes way beyond trying to out-cheat the other side. medium.com/@carmitage/i... #StopFascism

Thanks to Jay Kuo for this thorough explanation. We cannot let this stand and must do everything we can to stop it. The cruelty is the point because it's crucial for the ideology to convert people. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-sado... #StopSadopopulism

For a break from the political horror show, I highly recommend Tess Gerritsen's Martini Club book series. Book 2 is even better than book 1! agoodreedreview.com/2025/08/09/b...

For something completely different, consider the SF Fringe Festival this month. Here's a short piece about a unique offering. agoodreedreview.com/2025/08/05/p... #SFFringeFestival2025

Couldn't happen to a more deserving felon. statuskuo.substack.com/p/trumps-den... #TrumpsLies

I agree with this assessment. hartmannreport.com/p/is-donald-... #NeverForget #SaveDemocracy

I've been thinking about the importance of public education and the concept of common knowledge which seems to be disappearing, so I wrote an essay. agoodreedreview.com/2025/07/18/p... #SavePublicEducation

Hartmann is right. It's up to all of us to stop this madness. Trump will keep pushing and testing until he and his regime are stopped. hartmannreport.com/p/the-author... #StopFascism

We cannot forget or become complacent with the atrocities of the past or allow them to be repeated in the present. During WWII it was people of Japanese decent, most of them American citizens. Today it’s immigrants of color. We have to stop this madness. statuskuo.substack.com/p/alligator-...

I was thinking about a conversation I had many years ago that has taken on a completely different connotation in today's climate. agoodreedreview.com/2025/07/13/w... #humankind

Sobering and all too real. We can resist and must not drink the Kool-Aid of Trumpism. We must continue to work for our democracy not against it. hartmannreport.com/p/the-kool-a... #SaveDemocracy

Heather Cox Richardson gives us real hope here. The regime has serious dysfunction. That gives those of us who do not want this real power to stop them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCfH... #SaveDemocracy

I've written my congress critters to stop this bill from becoming law. This would be a horrific blow to our healthcare system if it passes. healthcareuncovered.substack.com/p/hr-3467-st... #StopHR3467 #SaveTraditionalMedicare

Interesting article on how we stop political violence. apple.news/AluQhyvw5T-e... #StopPoliticalViolence

Hartmann is right. The truth matters. We cannot let speaking it and writing it become a crime. Without truth, democracy dies. hartmannreport.com/p/if-the-tru... #SaveDemocracy

This is worth watching. Heather Cox Richardson gives us hope despite the horrific challenges that we currently face. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5o3... #SaveDemocracy

"While the measure slashes public welfare programs, it pours $170.7 billion into immigration enforcement." Could we do useful things for our citizens with this money?? Nah, instead let's throw our neighbors into concentration camps and buy more costumes for ICE Barbie.

This was quite the interview from earlier this week. Barack Obama and Heather Cox Richardson, two very important voices. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM9B...

I know I posted this a little over a month ago, but Teri Kanefield's new book, Rebels, Robbers, and Radicals: The Story of the Bill of Rights dropped today, and it's well worth a read. Teri brings the history of the Bill of Rights to life in a way few have. agoodreedreview.com/2025/04/05/b...

Taking steps to be happier doesn't negate the challenges we face, but it just might make us more able to take positive actions. agoodreedreview.com/2025/05/09/s... #mentalhealth
