I can't believe I still have this from 2018, but here we are. 🗳️ 👊🏽🥊‼️🤜🏻

if the head of your homeowners association is a racist, sexist, hurt your neighbors, lied constantly, damaged your neighborhood, pitted neighbor against neighbor, stole funds, & ignored every expert, would you show up to listen to his speech on state of the neighborhood? why i am not watching SOU.

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

@simonwdc.bsky.social Glenn Kirschner referred to him as the orange blowfish the other night, and I had to find this in my photo files!

@glennkirschner.bsky.social Wish I could figure out how to post this on our Substack community meeting. But remember you called him the Orange blowfish? Ha!

I used to think that it was almost impossible to believe that this event was even held as it was in NY at MSG, but now, my God, look where we are. Thank you for sharing this today, Matthew. By the way, we miss you terribly

RIP Irish-born Canadian artist Paul Kane. "The joy of painting lies precisely in the challenge of memory and the challenge of translation from the lived experience to the two-dimensional or three-dimensional symbol."

Fascism is here. 🇺🇸 CBS is dead. ☠️ More people will now see this interview Trump tried to bury than ever would have otherwise. 👀

Bravo Rep Neguse 👏

After officially opening our campaign office in Chinatown, we did a little food tour around the neighborhood. Pro tip: get the famous buns from Mei Lai Wah — they do not disappoint!

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Trump reposting a video of the Obamas as "apes" during Black History Month and no Republican officials as of yet condemning him is another reason why every one of them needs to be defeated at the ballot box and shunned in public.

I just contributed to his campaign. Hope others will if they can.

A follow up on this Jesse Watters clip from 3 weeks ago. The victim of ICE testified today before Congress that she was on her way to a 39th scheduled treatment at a traumatic brain injury center.

BREAKING: Rep Ted Lieu just called for Deputy AG Todd Blanche’s resignation, and points out why partying with Epstein actually would be illegal.

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

My friends, After listening to Alex Pretti's words for that veteran at the VA hospital, I posted that it was as beautiful & patriotic as anything I've heard at Arlington cemetery. Honestly, that just did me in. We are all Minnesotans. We are all Renée Good. We are all Alex Pretti.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Lovely!!

Bravo to Mike Fanone for the cough heard round the world!

TODAY, Friday January 23rd, 2026: We are ALL residents of Minnesota. We ALL want #ICE_OutForGOOD 🚫 🧊 Also: #ICE_OUT4ReneeGood 💔

Bravo to Mike Fanone for the cough heard round the world!

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

Another London sketch dug out of a portfolio, done on a Sunday in 1992 sitting in a doorway on Ludgate Hill looking up to St Paul's. I found another St Paul's drawing where the paper has deteriorated but this one has survived OK. #art #watercolour #enpleinair #London #StPauls

to me the most interesting, compelling,kind and beautiful people are those who walk through life with doubts and questions. the boring, small, ugly folks are those who stamp through the world with certainty.

Cry harder about ruining an American institution we used to be proud of, you stupid quisling bitch.

Preach, Matthew, preach!

One way to quantify the GOP's attack on free and fair elections: My law firm is litigating 78 voting and election cases in 39 states. This is, by far, the largest caseload we have carried in a non-election year and close to our peak in 2024. The question is how many more can a small firm handle.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

From a political strategist point of view, the three worst ways of dealing with voter upset about the economy is: 3. Put policies together that make it worse. 2. Blame it on a previous President. 1. Claim the economy is doing great. Trump and administration has done all three.
