This is an important story by @genoways.bsky.social -- Haitian workers vote 99% "YES" to strike at a meatpacking plant at the same time the end of TPS and their possible deportation hangs over their heads. Intersection of union power and the anti-immigrant crusade is laid bare right here.

I was in East Palestine this week for the 3-yr anniversary of one of the worst industrial disasters in US history. Here's the compilation of testimonies residents in/around EP shared w/ me @therealnews.com I beg you to listen & share their stories w/ everyone you can therealnews.com/biden-trump-...

One of the scariest aspects of the Trump administration is that they continue to make us vulnerable to an ever lengthening list of disasters that haven't happened yet but eventually will.

In America’s most famous Haitian community, everyone is now forced to just hunker down and wait for the Supreme Court to say when it is okay to come and try to deport them. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/waiting-fo...

I’m on a new episode of Unwashed and Unruly podcast talking about why the journalism industry is fucked and what we can do about it. Recorded this pre-WaPo layoffs but pretty on theme. www.unwashedunruly.com/monopoly-cap...

A looming deportation purge in Springfield, Ohio is on pause. But Haitians there are still hiding at home and making plans for who will take care of their kids if they are snatched by ICE and disappeared. A report from the ground: www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/waiting-fo...

The Washington Post laid off hundreds of the country's most dogged reporters today, who did indispensable work holding the powerful accountable at home & abroad. We are heartbroken. Please share with anyone who cares about the future of journalism: www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

New York Times is now the only real newspaper as such left in America. Grim for many reasons.

Tons of excellent stuff in this @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social interview with @letsgomathias.bsky.social.

In America in 2026, journalists are the government's enemy. Let's just get comfortable with that and stop being weird. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-press-...

I am going to Springfield, Ohio this week to report. If you are involved in community action to support immigrants or prepare for ICE in Springfield, I would like to be in touch with you. Please DM me here or email [email protected]. Thank you.

“The threat of a real general strike, with workers actually withholding their work, this is something we have to work toward. It is also something unions can do. We can hold those conversations.” - @flyingwithsara.bsky.social

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

I am a Sixers fan now.

Spoke to @wdet.bsky.social about the resistance in Minneapolis. An impressive city with many righteous people. wdet.org/2026/01/27/t...

READ THIS! Excellent overview of Jan 23 by @lfelizleon.bsky.social. These are times of extreme treachery and extreme solidarity, and it's captured here beautifully. "If they think they're going to ship people out in the middle of nowhere, we’re still going to go there and fight for them."

Not since Bull Connor have we seen such PR masterminds.

I have consumed a lot of right wing media for work purposes and the primary difference I've seen is that journalism, even bad journalism, regards the truth as something important, and right wing media generally does not.

Labor Secretary Frances Perkins’ first challenge in office was figuring out what to do with Section 24, a gang of immigration agents who were causing chaos with “highly visible and extreme” raids on immigrant communities. So she defunded them. More @thebaffler.com thebaffler.com/latest/a-pie...

I have a piece today in Defector making the case for "more training" for ICE agents. A *lot* more training. defector.com/i-have-a-gre...

Stephen Miller and Russ Vought are the two pure ideologues driving the agendas of white nationalism and destroying public services, respectively. They need to be the top political targets. Saying “Kristi Noem must resign” is a sideshow. Prosecute the whole cabinet later, sure, but please focus now.

It is very funny watching right wingers go straight into “anything that hurts my feelings is violence” without even doing any throat clearing about how this is different from all the stuff they just spent years making fun of. At least make up an excuse guys

A write-up of yesterday's protest + general strike that'll make you feel something www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/hate-has-t...

As was true in 2020, an actual work stoppage by even a single NBA team (ie the Timberwolves) would be tremendously powerful although I’m sure that everyone who has direct access to these players is telling g them not to do that. Athletes, know your own power.

'A lot of angry people in the crowd were yelling at the state police: “Why are you looking at us! Turn around and arrest those guys! They just killed a Minnesotan. Who are you protecting?”' www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/intolerabl...

The streets of Minneapolis are full of regular people faced with intolerable things. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/intolerabl...

Huge vigil for Alex Pretti in south Minneapolis right now. Thousands calling for ICE to leave the city. “This is not another damn vigil yall. This is a turning point.”

Very interesting to me that Kristi Noem just said in her press conference that Alex Pretti was presumptively trying to kill federal agents because he was (legally) carrying a gun. Now apply that standard to every Republican voter legally carrying a gun in public.

I certainly hope to live long enough to see Stephen Miller imprisoned for his many crimes.

State police declared an unlawful assembly here on 26 st and said they will arrest everyone. In response the protesters moved closer. Riot vehicle is here

They are pushing a burning dumpster towards the cops

Cops sealed off 26 st. Lots of tear gas coming now. People taking refuge in nearby apartments

Big angry crowd forming. Riot cops out

Tons of tear gas on Nicollet at scene of shooting. People running away

In Minneapolis I saw a vision for an alternative American ethos, which is love and also the willingness to fight to protect that love. Niceness, not weakness. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/hate-has-t...

Dancing Queen (ICE OUT remix)

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

“It will be -15 degrees in Minneapolis tomorrow. The people are going to shut down the city because they are sick of injustice. Let’s watch and admire them and walk beside them. If they can do it here, you can do it too. It’s warmer where you are.”

Minneapolis is about to do something big. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/cold-city-...
