Let the grownups talk at #Davos. Appreciate this take from former VP Al Gore: Al Gore responds to Trump’s argument that the US should own Greenland | CNN Politics share.google/kQGq2ch5zyFs...

Its important that folks know that 5th and 6th amendment rights are being broken in Minneapolis. #ICE is continuing to flaut the law, racially profile and thwart dissent and the legal right to protest. share.google/qRVVw9WAhhv1...

Former SF Mayor London Breed deserves a job. Who will hire her? And should she run for Rep. Pelosi's seat? Change in government doesn't happen overnight - its a slow burn. SF should know, their turnaround is due in part to Breed. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

I know that organizers in MN have called for a general one day strike, but this calls for no food service in MN. ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then detain workers www.startribune.com/ice-agents-e...

STOP To all organizations sending fundraising solicitations with 2024 strategy and not living their publically stated values internally. Moderates and progressives, do not abandon values in this new politically lawless reality. Double down, in the end, we will end. God is on our side. END

STOP This is to all Democrats, and the Republican turned Democrat, running for office sending fundraising SMS messages. Elected officials need to work on trust building. Candidates need to concentrate on earned media (make some worthy news folks) in other words, do something. END

Lots going on in Portland, OR today, Minneapolis, Venezuela, Iran, Yemen - but are y'all paying attention to the UN? Someone is trying to dismantle it. Pulled this from Al Gore's X:

“The end of 2025 has been difficult for all of us. Don’t worry — next year will be much worse,” - Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni This was my fear when my aunt called with hope for the new year. Despite it all, we will persevere. We can't look to hope from fascists.

The world is paying attention, are Americans? "The White House issued a statement later on Tuesday to news organizations that said Mr. Trump had not ruled out a U.S. invasion of Greenland." This is a US war regime - no matter the foreign leader and without Congress. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/u...

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was breaking it down today on C-SPAN. If we have an election in 2028, I would like to see him run for the nomination. I would ask the DNC, do not touch a hair on his head - let him continue to speak clearly to the people and back it up with the policy he supported in MN.

Lemme just say as a citizen of the United States of America, I have never been more terrified, full stop. I know there are those who would say, this is what the US has been doing throughout its history - particulary with regard to mettle in the Americas...but kidnapping - has that been done before?

Unsanctioned war - the military is not equipped for drug investigations. Textbook terrorism on the part of the U.S. Where is the due process? Do Americans still do cocaine? Didn't the president just pardon the former Honduran leader, a convicted cocaine trafficker? share.google/6AZKnRBOiAf8...

Dumfounded. So, the U.S. is killing innocent folks in the Pacific and Caribbean and now he pardons a convicted drug leader? There was a time when the U.S. was at least covert about interfering in foreign elections. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/w...
