Just spitballing here, but I think the founders probably wouldn't have approved of a President putting the entirety of a highly militarized federal government on a war footing against a state because he didn't like how they voted in the last election. But I'm sure John Roberts knows what he's doing.

I keep coming back to this

Social media monitoring systems, cellphone location tracking, facial recognition, remote hacking tools — now being turned on Americans by ICE to target protesters. bit.ly/3Kq348R

Someone show Donald this map. The Eckert Projection on the left shows Greenland close to its actual size. The Mercator Projection on the right is probably what they're looking at in the WH. Greenland is slightly smaller than Alaska. Area inhabitable by humans: Alaska: 20% Greenland: 5% #idiots

Several hundred people form a human banner spelling out “IT WAS MURDER — ICE OUT!!” at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach during a protest Saturday in response to the recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis of Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration agent. 📸: Erik Castro/Special to The Chronicle

It’s a critical moment to make our voices heard loud & clear: No wars. No kings. No ICE. See you in the streets tomorrow: www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

We put out a call for #ICEOutForGood vigils 24 hours ago. There are now more than 1000 events taking place across the country this weekend. Find yours: www.mobilize.us?tag_ids=2913...

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

MORE.

Imagine if the US attempted to learn from Uruguay instead of invading Venezuela

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

Welp. Feeling angry and rage-y and couldn’t decide how to vent it. So I climbed a ladder and cleaned the ceiling in my bathroom. Tomorrow at 10 AM ET—I vent with words on my podcast. Join me. m.youtube.com/watch?v=jl6m...

I read this paragraph four times. Not because it's murky, but to let the message sink in. www.cjr.org/tow_center/b... If an information company is clear and determined in supporting (not "saving') democracy, then it can be a home for good journalism. If not then the press must disengage. Now.

I think it's notable that a new york times columnist is calling for mass demonstrations (led by democratic poltiicians) & comparing this to the Boston massacre. He's 100% right on all points in this video and that makes him an enemy of the regime

There’s another emergency rally in NYC this morning—9am Foley Square. Kristi Noem is going to NYC today to hold a press conference. New Yorkers are showing up in mass to tell her to get the f*ck out. Join @handsoffnyc.bsky.social in the streets. It’s time to get loud and stay loud.

The allegedly incompetent Hakeem Jeffries is going to force a vote on ObamaCare subsidies in the House (doubtful it can pass the Senate).

Make it viral.

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

Here's a tracker of all the people (40) ICE has shot, including someone celebrating New Years by shooting his gun who was killed by an off-duty ICE goon. www.thetrace.org/2025/12/immi...

Kristi Noem is a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility. There is nothing to suggest the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis was justified. This heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.

Now is the time for five patriotic Republicans to QUIT GOP. Declare Independent and vote present. Step aside so the democracy party can restore rule of law and the Constitution. @andreapitzer.bsky.social @anneapplebaum.bsky.social @jenrubin.bsky.social @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

Minneapolis.

TIM WALZ: Do not take the bait. Do not take the bait. Do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act. Do not allow them to invoke martial law.

No matter how many awful things come out of this White House, you can organize your community at the state and local level to fight back against the oligarchy. Kudos to everyone who organized and won against Big Tech last year. Let’s keep up the fight this year and beyond.

NOEM: "This was an act of domestic terrorism. Our ICE officers got stuck in the snow and woman attempted to ram them with her vehicle." WUT??

🎯

Mayor Mamdani has the opportunity to do the greatest thing ever.

Happy New Year 2026! May the new year bring continued inspiration, collaboration, and action for the future of our cities.

Pelosi: “The President incited an insurrection. We begged him to send the National Guard, they never sent them. This President is trying to re-write history… it was an assault on the constitution of 🇺🇸.”

Count me in.

Friends — Here's one "big idea" for how we can start to fix the system in 2026. Let me know your thoughts. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

Hands Off NYC is a movement of tens of thousands of people & growing in neighborhoods all over the city: training people on their rights, sounding the alarm, connecting people to lawyers, bearing witness, (nonviolently) fighting back.    Join up: www.handsoffnyc.com

Every word of this.

This is what oligarchy looks like. Public "servants" looting the government/funneling taxpayer dollars to themselves so they can emulate the lifestyle of their gazillionaire role models and masters.

This is what it took to shame Kristi Noem into letting an Irish green card holder who bouncing $80 in 2 checks 10 years ago free after 5 months in detention: A veteran, Trump-voting spouse 9 US descendants Letter signed by 18 Senators 30 character witnesses www.star-telegram.com/news/nation-...

Very best wishes for the holidays.

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

"My takeaway is always that this is a citywide, nationwide, twenty-four-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week need for protests. This is a nearly infinitely wide highway, and we need every single lane to be occupied." Our Interview with Rachel Cohen [email protected] progressive.org/magazine/lan...
