Shout out to everyone who saw this coming in 2015.

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

AP and the rest of American media won't make this distinction, but 66,000 is the number of bodies recovered, not the number of dead. The latter is estimated to be anywhere from 200,000 to as high as 500,000. apnews.com/article/isra...

The number of pundits necessary for democracy to function is zero. The number of citizens necessary for democracy to function is all of us.

International Criminal Court. Nothing less.

People I didn't expect to ever show up to a protest are already saying they are going to this. Let's do it.

Poll: Most Americans favor gender affirming care for youth, including most independents. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

There’s only one conclusion that can be reached from the response from ICE in Broadview and it is that they are running scared. They know that they are despised. They know that those on the ground will not quit speaking up for freedom. They have watched as people they gassed and shot at came back.

A traditional Native American ceremony is held at the Broadview. ICE Facility In Chicago, featuring a spiritual round dance of healing.

I did a book signing at Antifa headquarters last year. They put my name on the marquee and everything.

10/18 we’re gonna be so far over the 3.5% threshold that even the oligarchs’ media won’t be able to downplay it.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Silence during meditation = good. Silence during fascism = very bad.

Meditate today, even for just five minutes. Basic goodness does not mean everything is supposed to feel pleasant and well-aligned (said motioning toward dumpster fire). It means we take the attitude that whatever arises is workable, and we can find the resources we need to be present with it.

It’s ICE against everyone.

Kimmel is very inconsequential. But what’s important is that the majority is not who the media makes you think it is. If the majority is apathetic, fascism happens. If the majority is engaged, democracy happens. Simple as that. Time to get louder.

Concerning …

Pariah.

Netanyahu should be arrested and sent to the Hague, not allowed to speak before the UN. He's a mass murderer guilty of genocide.

This is the very definition of concentration camps.

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk. He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.

The Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg should press charges. This is assault and there was no lawful purpose for this whatsoever. Federal immunity shouldn't apply.

ICE shooter Joshua Jahn's politics aren't what's being reported, three longtime former friends tell me. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

Ya think?

Left: Claim made by @theatlantic.com article that “left wing attacks outnumber right wing attacks” Right: Data from article proving right wing terror is far deadlier than left wing, by factor of 9:1 Corporate media is dead. These Professors should be ashamed to sign their names to this propaganda.

This has never not been true. open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

Meditate today, even for just five minutes. All you have to do is put this thing down and find your seat.

The wild swing away from whatever Elon did in 2024 continues.

Took me a minute to figure this out.

Buddhist rapture is a lot more boring. You just hang out on the Earth, breathing and trying to be a decent person until you die.

Folks there is this thing called Kpop Demon Hunters and it’s not on Disney and it’s all your kids will care about until at least Halloween anyway when 73% of costumes will definitely reference that movie so it’s ok to cancel Disney to send a message that fascism has consequences for enablers.

Meditate today, even for just five minutes. You have the time to ground yourself. You have the time to make friends with your own mind.

Wow. Had a hunch this was true, but wow.

For anything Buddhism related, Wikipedia is 100x more accurate than ChatGPT

Every. Action. Matters. Repeat this mantra to every cynic and doomer you encounter, and smile while saying it. These are courageous people.

We knew this was coming, but it happened faster than expected. Good news within the dumpster fire.

I just passed two kids on a park bench (8-9 yo). They were discussing better ways to help people without homes rather than just giving them loose change. On a Sunday. I really think once we get through this shitty selfish era of collapsing steroid-driven capitalism, a better future lies ahead.

97% of the purported usefulness of LLMs instantly vanishes if you take any interest in learning things for yourself. In honor of LLMs, I completely fabricated that number.

Every dollar you spend or don’t spend shifts energy and changes outcome. NEVER argue that small actions don’t matter. They are, in fact, all that matters.

Progress.

For folks who are asking me why they haven't heard of WFP, here's what you need to know to get involved. They are currently backing Mamdani, Fateh, Abughazaleh and a host of others. They have endorsed slates in every election. workingfamilies.org/about/

Ya…think? And yes, it does affect their decision making if you cancel. Every. Action. Matters.

He always looks like he was cryogenically frozen mid-sentence during a different fascist era, thawed out, only to resume his fascist rant in this era without missing a beat.

A party is an organization, a container, a shell, a label. Organizations end all the time and become new entities and movements. It’s only the people that matter.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

This man is one of the campaign’s super volunteers, the nicest dude you’ll ever meet, wildly dependable, and apparently capable of taking the coolest photo of 2025.

Why would this ever be controversial?
