Terrific, short statement from the mayor of #Portland about yesterday's federal use of chemical agents on peaceful protestors, including lots of kids and families.

EPSTEIN SURVIVORS: “This is a betrayal of the very people this process is supposed to serve… This is not over. We will not stop until the truth is fully revealed and every perpetrator is finally held accountable.”

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

@billybragg.bsky.social honoring the folks in Minneapolis with a new song. Check it out. (Dating myself: I listened to his Workers Playtime album so much that I wore the cassette out and had to buy another one.)

“He certainly shouldn’t have been carrying a gun. I don’t like that he had a gun,” Trump says about Alex Pretti. “I don’t fucking care that they have guns, they’re not here to hurt me… Let them in,” Trump said on J6. Get it? 2A is only for those who support him and his tyrannical regime.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Jesse Welles was on Colbert a couple of months ago singing this song that rings even more true today after the brutal murders of #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti Hey #Minnesota, you could blast this out of speakers at ICE agents whenever you can, and/or learn the words and sing and dance it.

ICE has killed 9 people so far in the first 25 days of 2026. Alex Pretti Renee Good Keith Porter Heber Sanchaz Domínguez Victor Manuel Diaz Parady La Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres Geraldo Lunas Campos They all deserve remembrance and justice.

This is the 1st vid I've ever seen of this man, but he is SPOT ON, imo. Call your Congress folks and demand they refuse to fund ANYTHING until, as he says, the demands for ICE and DHS are met. Capitol Switchboard: 202.224.3121

"...Defenceless under the night Our world in stupor lies; Yet, dotted everywhere, Ironic points of light Flash out wherever the Just Exchange their messages: May I, composed like them Of Eros and of dust, Beleaguered by the same Negation and despair, Show an affirming flame."

Folks, pay attention to how you're consuming media today. Videos of the ICE murder are everywhere. You can bear witness and honor the man shot w/out watching the murder if your nervous system isn't able. NO SHAME IN THAT. Turn off autoplay: Settings -> Content and Media -> Autoplay Video & GIFs

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

#Minnesota #GeneralStrike 🏆 👏 ⭐ 🫡 ✊ 💙

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

#Minneapolis is showing the rest of us the way. Its people have shown up in solidarity and community and support in more generous, creative, courageous ways than I can count. It's a beautiful, inspiring thing to behold. ✊💙

Love this resistance in #Minnesota

Add "feckless Dem. Leadership" along with "white moderate" for a two-fer!

Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness. Every Democratic leader. Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head. Every CEO. Every religious leader. If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.

This is the way, folks. We must hold corporate collaborators accountable in whatever peaceful way we can. (Boycotts, protest, public shaming, etc.)

My latest.

Perfection. (Tragically.)

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

On December 14th, I sat across from 142 New Yorkers as they shared their concerns, their dreams, the leadership they long for from City Hall. Our campaign was built around listening to the people of New York, and we will govern in the same way. Tomorrow, we get to work. youtu.be/xj89tYvwr6k

Millions of workers are toiling away from their families over the holidays. So thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Pay all workers a living wage.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

This is the way. 👇

Rob Reiner directed my favorite movie in the world, and then made all my dreams come true by, with Cary Elwes, organizing a cast reunion table read Zoom fundraiser for WisDems. A heart, spirit, and talent bigger than the whole world. May his and Michele's memory be a blessing.

In addition to making some terrific films, #RobReiner was pivotal in getting CA's marriage equality ban overturned & he substantively supported the First 5 initiative. Throughout his life, he used his platform not just to speak out, but to actively work for democracy. Thank you, sir. Rest easy. ✊💙

Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy. This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.

South Park is doing its part to give us the laughs we need amidst it all.

If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control: Paramount Studios CBS CNN MTV HBO Comedy Central Nickelodeon Cartoon Network Warner Bros. DC Studios Fandango New Line Cinema TNT Sports TBS Oracle And more.

Every Dem politician should follow this lead. #KnowYourRights

Re-upping this: To not “speak ill” of a recently deceased person who caused incalculable harm & damage & suffering to so many is to totally make invisible & negate the reality of all those people who suffered so greatly bc of that person. I wished him no harm, but #DickCheney was a horrible guy.
