Man charged with assault after allegedly attacking a high school girl who was participating in school walkout

In a win for voters, the Supreme Court allowed California to use its new voter-approved congressional map in the 2026 midterm elections. Democrats could pick up as many as five more seats in Congress under the new map and counter the GOP gains made in Texas. @democracydocket.com

Even if you don't have time to read all 83 pages of Judge Reyes's opinion barring the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status for 350,000+ Haitians, please at least check out the four-page introduction. It's a tour de force: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There is so much more to do to achieve meaningful societal reform than gain a couple of seats advantage in the House or Senate.

There are a thousand Epstein/Maxwell victims according to the FBI. Only a few dozen have come forward.

... we don't want this to become a chilling effect where survivors feel like they can't come forward and those in power will always be able to pull the strings. And that's... it's hard right now to feel any other way. Danielle Bensky, survivor.

"Imagine giving educators a $50,000 incentive to become K-12 grade teachers and equally funding education programs with the billions DHS now receives to terrorize communities?" @pedroconsafos.bsky.social

I gotta hand it to him. Convincing the very people against whom he intends to carry out mass deportation to vote for him. Or maybe we start to take seriously the national security issue of corporate financed, AI energized, superpower executed disinformation campaigns. An ordinary human has no chance

some important positive news from @democracydocket.com: In blocking the challenged provisions, the court held that the Constitution’s separation of powers leaves “no role at all to the President” when it comes to establishing the rules that govern federal elections.

On the positive side of things, while the federal government dismantles itself and becomes weaker and weaker on the world stage, taking down the citizenry of compliant red states with it, Blue states are growing stronger and more independent.

WTF is a Border Czar?

Does anyone out there believe that Congress will actually step up and affect our national destiny? Impeach Noem? Enforce Epstein file release? Withhold funding for DHS?

Reminder, as bad as the polls are for the Republicans in terms of dissatisfaction for the current state of affairs, this does not directly translate into a blue wave. Unless Dems produce candidates and platforms that these dissatisfied Repubs prefer, they'll vote the same as always.

SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN! Do not fund the government until a full investigation is performed for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The agents responsible for their execution must be removed from duty and put on trial. The American people demand accountability and an end to ICE & DHS brutality!!!

We are also supporting rapid response actions taking place across the country, including on 1/30!

FUCK Congress. We, the people, have the power to affect real change.

Good news for Minneapolis, bad news for El Centro and border communities. Greg Bovino demoted, will return to his job as Chief of El Centro's Border Patrol Sector, to continue his state-sponsored violence he has engaged in for years. Back to status quo militarization, brutality, and opaqueness.

De-escalating is an important first step. And only because they know they have serious legal exposure. We've got to keep the pressure on until the hit men and their bosses get jail time.

Indivisible's "call your senator" resistance needs to disappear. I know they are trying but they are only dissipating the energy of resistance. been there done that for a decade now. Congress effectively does not exist. Resistance will take place at the state and local levels and in the streets.

The bad guys do have the upper hand. In a big way. We need this kind of international support.

Beat ICE with donuts and hot chocolate! This is brilliant! Doubt if these ICE sissies will act so tough with REAL military on the playing field.

do they really think they can send federal agents as occupiers of our cities to gun people down in the streets and then just keep parroting their stupid lines about keeping us safe from immigrants who are violent criminals?

who's the real enemy? "the deformed coalition of internet-poisoned fascists and the billionaires who built the infrastructure to poison them?" quote from @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social

posted first for Renee good. second time for Alex Pretti. Hold them accountable!

"if a Marine, an 18 year old Marine, did that in Iraq in the middle of a war zone, he would be court martialed because it is murder." Rep. Seth Moulton, Marine Veteran.

We demand a proper investigation!

I don't know folks. Call your senators if you want. The house has shown us, once again, where they stand. I think we're beyond calling Congress. Time for a national shutdown. #abolishICE

National shutdown with these demands: 1. ICE out of MN. 2. MN law enforcement led investigations into the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. 3. Abolish ICE. Everything stops until these demands are met. Do we have the guts?

“To actually be called a ‘domestic terrorist,' an individual must commit one or more of 51 underlying ‘federal crimes of terrorism,’” which involve nuclear or chemical weapons, plastic explosives, air piracy, and so on. Rachel Levinson-Waldman, HCR Justice for Renee Good.

Successful resistance movements come forward with a clear and actionable demand. NoKings, not so much. #Iceout is perfect.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LITIGATION The Trump administration yesterday withdrew its appeal of a court ruling that blocked its attempt to withhold billions in education funding from schools and colleges with D.E.I programs. @justsecurity.org Early Edition 1/22 #resist

Very very very important legal piece for this moment. State governments can hold federal agents accountable.

Just Security. Their stuff is gold.

I'm hoping someone passes this on? Our economy and diplomatic status are already a complete train wreck.

The same federal courts that have recognized that federal officials are insulated from state prosecution for the legitimate and reasonable exercise of federal law, though,

State and local troops, agents, and officers deployed to protect us from federal agents. Lock 'em up!

Yeah, what if?

From a friend whom I greatly respect: I know everyone is hoping the madness will stop—thinking it can’t possibly go on like this, at the fever pitch of willful internal and external crises, that surely an election or a court decision is going to stop it—but I don’t think so.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Highly recommend signing up for this daily newsletter from Just Security. Skip the hype. Just the facts. This morning's report has a collection of several key stories about the situation in Iran. Also a daily litigation update, covering our final line of defense.

I never imagined that the days of my life dominated by diapers, helping with homework, weekend long swim meets, and weddings would be such a short chapter in my life. I didn't realize it at the time, but these days were the days of my peak joy. I love being a dad.

How many moms need to get shot in the face before members of congress support a sec Noam impeachment?
