Two weeks ago I spent the whole day at the Museum of the Moving Image to listen to New Yorkers. This is what Liam shared with me.

This year produced the single largest mass mobilizations in the country's history. Its entire history. I think that there are people who would say that this isn't true EVEN AS THEY ARE LIVING THROUGH THOSE MOBILIZATIONS. It's something to see.

the problem with dedicating campaign funds toward charitable endeavors is what if you lose and then all you’ve done is helped people in need in your community?

Anyway the single best check on your espoused prescriptions for social change is whether you yourself are doing what you say others need to do. It's extremely clarifying and usually very humbling.

You can do a lot locally with a dedicated group of 15 to 40 people. Regular people should be thinking at that scale rather than at the scale of thousands.

My family and I, and the entire Japanese American community on the West Coast, were denied due process during our internment in WWII. It is a cherished, critical right for all people within the U.S.’s borders.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

"we'll give you $3,000 to stop contributing to our economy"

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

ICE whistles work.

This summer, ProPublica journalists hiked and boated across Rubkona County, the epicenter of South Sudan’s outbreak and home to the country’s largest refugee camp, to interview families that the U.S. cut off from help.

Those tree hugging hippies in Hungary now lead the world in the share of electricity generated from solar with almost 25% of their electricity coming from solar in 2024. A remarkable leap from just 7% five years ago.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled to allow Texas to proceed with using a racially discriminatory voting map. Voters of color deserve to be heard – not silenced.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Communities need used-book shops. As the trends in our world are increasingly standardized and entrenched by "predictive" technologies that stifle innovation and reduce human actions into economic categories... We need a full range of possibilities for readers and communities to explore and share.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Disturbing. Incidentally @rutgerbregman.com has written some interesting books that you might want to read. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call. I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

Tonight's Law Dork is a story about both the growing frustration from the bench about the unprofessionalism of A.G. Bondi's DOJ in the second Trump administration and more evidence of the overly aggressive — and ultimately illegal — way the administration is attacking transgender people.

The most comprehensive story yet about Fernando Vazquez, the 18-year-old U.S. citizen who was abducted by federal immigration agents from a construction site in Cary, North Carolina. @ncnewsline.com #ncpol

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Epstein survivors have been fighting since 1996. THEY are the reason anything has come to light.

NEW: We filed a FOIA request demanding answers from the Department of Homeland Security about their pattern of targeting journalists, advocates, and other bystanders who film ICE and CBP activity in public. The First Amendment protects our right to record.

In case it's not clear, there is sooooo much organizing happening right now against this regime. It's really amazing.

Barack Obama *ILL-ADVISEDLY* ran against Bobby Rush in 2000. He lost by 30%. Many of us absolutely knew he would lose at the time in Chicago. 3 years later he was running for Senate. Anyway, "waiting your turn" in politics is ridiculous. You run when you want to run & failure is fine.

"People like you voted for Bill Clinton, you stood by Bill Clinton" Ma'am, I was 7 years old the last time Bill Clinton was on a ballot. My only feelings on him were I'd get mad when I'd come home to watch Days of Our Lives and my mom would tell me it'd been preempted by his sex scandal again.

I keep seeing this image and it looks like a still of Diego Luna in Andor - it's not, but life imitates art I guess

2026 hasn’t even begun yet and some three dozen House members are already heading for the exits. That’s how unpleasant it’s become to serve in the House of Representatives these days. Read the latest on the retirement wave in the chamber: punchbowl.news/article/hous...

LAWSUIT WIN: Trump’s rule preventing DACA recipients, asylum seekers, asylees, refugees, and other immigrants from obtaining commercial driver’s licenses is now HALTED while our lawsuit proceeds. This decision gives 200,000 immigrants a chance to keep working.

A pre-dawn multi-agency raid in Georgetown left Latino residents handcuffed, homes torn apart, and now being told to vacate without proper notice. No warrant shown. Racial targeting alleged. This is what state violence looks like. migrantinsider.com/p/scoop-lati...

Chris Murphy: "I don't think anybody with ambition right now should be planning on running for president in 2028 because we might not have a free and fair election in 2028. We all have to be in the business of saving our democracy right now."

The Trump admin is an organized crime operation that has control of the US government.

And no one was surprised.

I am irrationally stupid levels of emotional about this news item www.them.us/story/pope-l...

oh

BREAKING: The Trump administration is officially withdrawing a Biden-era plan to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by the airlines.

BREAKING: We're suing to force the Trump administration to disclose how it's considering new nationwide restrictions on medication abortion in secrecy. Our access to medication abortion must be based on science, not propaganda or political whims.

I told y'all to watch this race didn't I? Something's afoot and I'm stoked on it.

BREAKING: Oklahoma has granted Tremane Wood clemency. This is good news. Tremane will not face execution for a crime he didn't commit.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Maybe it’s just the skeptic in me, but having the US AG and FBI Director meet with a member of Congress in the world’s most secure SCIF to try to get them to take their signature of a petition to release evidence against the world‘s most infamous child sex trafficker seems slightly suspicious.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
