🎩 I am so sick & tired of people on the left saying there’s nothing we can do You’re doing the regime’s work for them, spreading that kinda shit They want us to feel hopeless, they want us to think there’s nothing we can do to stop them We need to encourage people to stand up and fight back! 🇺🇸

Berwyn Cicero Rapid Response reports just now that a significant number of federal agents have returned to Chicago this afternoon. Widespread community alert has been issued:

Since some are confused: 1. SCOTUS did not hold that Trump is immune from prosecution for anything at all that he does. 2. Even if it had (and it did not) we must name all his crimes. 3. Nothing SCOTUS has or could hold prevents Congress from impeaching and removing any President, for any reason.

Why is everyone yelling “release the epstein files” when we should already be yelling “impeach and remove!”? Yelling about the Epstein files is an extra step and it can happen after he’s out of office.

Senator Schumer @schumer.senate.gov: Disappointed enough to publicly demand impeachment and removal? Do you want the House to impeach, and will you vote to convict? Will you make a public statement demanding impeachment and pledging a vote to convict? citizensimpeachment.com/senate-posit...

We all already know ICE never left Chicago, but just to emphasize: several vehicles have been spotted out and about this morning. Unconfirmed (for now) reports of several abductions.

The Jan 6 riot was successful. Maybe this will put to bed the constant admonition that "riots don't work."

Sending love to the imprisoned Palestine Action hunger strikers in the UK, whose well-being and survival I am deeply worried about. In Let This Radicalize You, @prisonculture.bsky.social and I wrote about the escalating repression in the UK. For those who aren't aware, the situation has worsened.

The worst part though was the aftermath. The insurrectionists were in our own workplace. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz would be walking around as if nothing ever happened. I had to go through a military checkpoint to get to work. What difference did it make if the perpetrators were in the building?

This situation is precisely why we have impeachment

Can't knit for at least two weeks thanks to my stupid brachialis strain. January is a rough month for my anxiety, not helped by whatever the fuck is going on right now. And most of my hobbies involve my hands and thus might upset the muscle. Ugh, I'd almost rather have a concussion again instead!

No, Harris wouldn't have done this shit. She would've done other, less heinous shit, and probably wouldn't have done enough to prevent Stephen Miller and his pedopuppet Trump from winning 2028. That being said, who the fuck cares? TRUMP is doing this awful shit, right here, right now. Focus on HIM.

Y’all can say whatever you want to, but Kamala Harris wouldn’t have done this. Not in a million years.

we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

So some Americans would rather be invaded by a foreign country rather step up and fight back against Trump. Come on people. Even something as simple as spreading the word about protests helps. Spread the word, call your reps, provide transport, do SOMETHING besides begging others to coup us.

📢 Immigration Vigil 📆 Every Thursday 📍 26 Federal Plaza, NYC, Federal Worker's entrance ⏰ 12 pm - 1 pm Join Rise and Resist for a silent vigil calling out ICE for abducting immigrants without due process. This may be a silent vigil, but our message is loud!

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Fascism does not advance only through brutality from above—it advances through normalization + accommodation below. Waiting, adjusting, or hoping institutions will restrain this regime is a deadly illusion. Now is the time for mass opposition Stop the Illegal War on Venezuela! TRUMP MUST GO NOW!

And once again, @schumer.senate.gov wants to pass a law to make something that is already illegal, illegal. Congress has the power to levy war. Not the president. What Trump did is already illegal. As your constituent, Senator, how do I know more about the Constitution than YOU do?

I’m so sick of hearing “ impeachment is pointless”. Impeachment is the lawful, appropriate response that is DEMANDED BY THE CONSTITUTION in an act of war without congressional approval. Not impeaching because it will “never get enough votes” is in and of itself, violating the constitution.

Well then.

If you can't attend a protest, I would suggest speaking to your values in whatever ways you can, and attending to something *you can do*. Remember, many things are happening at once. They want to keep your head spinning. Let purpose preempt despair.

I think I just gave myself an anxiety attack by writing my character having an anxiety attack, oops. I guess on the plus side I can draw on many years of experience for this poor character?

"Venezuela could now define Trump's legacy -- and America's place in the world". Well done, BBC, your headline made my eye fucking twitch.

it doesn't raise questions. it signals that the president is a violent fascist imperialist and war criminal. you're allowed to say that? like, you can just come out and fucking say it. don't be such fucking cowards, for fuck's sake.

I am struggling with what might be a generational experience. The gulf war was pretty politically formative for me. It’s not history so much as memory this time. It is destabilizing to see almost the exact same gameplan but this time without the guardrails that at the time I took for granted.

To be fair, people in the US, really love cops too. ACAB is aesthetic for most. There is no interest AT ALL in diminishing the power of policing. We just saw this again over the past 5 years.

NYT gonna NYT: "Both Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Maduro identify as socialists, though they have no relationship.” — would be funny if they did this every time you write about two capitalists. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

For those keeping track at home: Since Christmas Eve the United States has bombed or carried out raids in Syria, Somalia, Nigeria and now Venezuela. And Congress' response has ranged from nothing to support.

Are you serious with this @schumer.senate.gov? You're just mad that you weren't briefed, and that this is a distraction from *grocery prices*???? You should be working with House members to draft impeachment articles RIGHT NOW, but you continue to be a feckless do nothing.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

Impeachment is the beginning of accountability, not the end. It's the most basic duty that a member of Congress has. Each member swears an oath to support and defend the Constitution. If they are not calling for his impeachment, they are violating the oath they swore. Impeach, convict, remove.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

im so tired of people not being capable of focusing on more than one thing that has happened other people in the world are more than just "distractions" for problems closer to home you soulless ghouls

New Interview: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

There are two demonstrations today starting at 3 pm in Federal Plaza in Chicago. It's too cold out for my troubled spine, but my heart is with everyone who protests. The people of Venezuela should determine their own future, and make no mistake: this is about robbing us of our freedoms as well.

This guy’s never met a moment he could meet.

Hey, Indivisible friends: Send up the message that we would love to coordinate with your leadership on impeachment. We've got lots of resources for them. It's time to call for the immediate impeachment and removal of this lawless administration.

Once again.

I have to rest my elbow after straining my brachialis but also if I don't knit I'll be an anxious mess. At least my arm doesn't hurt in the compression sleeve today.

Stop saying "they'll never impeach." Stop giving them permission to be complicit. Stop allowing them to pretend that they are powerless.

We only need 5 Republicans to join the Democrats to impeach. @housedemocrats.bsky.social stop sitting on your hands and stop giving weak statements. DO YOUR JOB.

It's true we can't embarrass them. But we CAN force them to act by tying our impeachment demands to mass boycotts. We can drive a wedge between the crumbling mobster and his paid-off stooges. We can make it practically and politically impossible for them NOT to remove him. groundtheplanes.com

Impeach, convict, remove.

Primer for the uninitiated: ‘Nowhere … has the truth of Orwell’s observation, “Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind,” been better illustrated than in the four-plus decades of Elliott Abrams’s career.’

To show that it can be done, I have drafted up an impeachment article over Venezuela with one other (non-lawyer) looking it over for edits.
