I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

As we say goodnight, a reminder that from lifesaving research to community care, Black innovators have shaped public health at every turn. We honor their brilliance, resilience, and impact. Black history is American history. Just a few public health heroes below. Happy Black History Month! ❤️🖤💚

If you care about Don Lemon, don't forgot Mario Guevara (reporter who was filming police at a No Kings rally in June) was targeted for his journalistic activity; detained for 112 days; and deported. He had no criminal charges against him and was on the path to getting a green card.

I'm so happy for Liam and his father, but it shouldn't just be the "media darlings" that get attention. It should be all of them. Release them all.

To see this as a headline in @nytimes.com is truly quite something. This is a gift link. You might want to read it and pass it on. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/o...

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

For this goodnight post, we honor Dr. Angella D. Ferguson (1925–2026), pediatrician and sickle cell disease pioneer. As a Black woman physician when few were allowed in the room, she chose a disease others ignored, built evidence where little existed, and changed pediatric care forever. 🌙

Ahem

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

So much going on, it’s almost escaped notice today is the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster If you were alive back then (of any age to be aware of world events), you probably know exactly where you were when it happened Most of us watched it in real time in the classroom

I live an hour north of Minneapolis and they’re here too. They’re rounding up workers in chicken processing plants and breweries.

This five year old is still in jail

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Fresh doom just dropped. 85 seconds to midnight. Humanity is so smart, yet so small, Tyrants and despots rise and fall. Acts of terror, words of kindness, On a rock in depths of darkness.

Abolish. ice. 💔

To avoid state limitations, DHS flat out bought the warehouse for $102.4 million. Do not let up pressure on protesting ICE and current DHS leadership. They are still fully engaged in their inhumane and pure evil immigration goals.

Boost this signal, we can beat them if the word gets out.

A reminder that MAGA fully supported and still support double murderer Rittenhouse an him bringing an AR-15 rifle across state lines to a protest in which he murdered two people. Pro-life my ass.

DreamHaven in Minneapolis is where I discovered Pratchett. I’ve always been grateful to sign there, but now I’m gonna be proud as hell too.

The nurses are pissed

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

Do not look for the link regarding the NRA person and please do not add an example, because everyone is traumatized enough, but heed what I am about to say: American Fascism always begins with hurting animals and women. Always.

That tech oligarchs are noisy and incensed about the remote possibility of a wealth tax and utterly silent about the murder of a man who was only using the phone they invented to chronicle the thuggish government goon squads should tell you everything about these desiccated souls.

this is it. this is the level. this is the standard for democratic officials. anything less is intolerable.

Of course

Minnesota, you are loved.

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

USAID was killed with an ink pen. ICE can be too.

I’ve reached out to both Gov. Walz and Sen. Klobuchar following the latest shooting involving federal agents in Minnesota. Marylanders have witnessed this cruelty in our own communities – during a school drop-off in Salisbury and in Glen Burnie on Christmas Eve. These are not isolated incidents.

Sorry, but being nice to 🧊 after they've outright murdered US citizens is what's gotten us to this point. We cannot rely on traditional law enforcement or voting to solve this. Our communities are being harmed by our Gov. Time to fight back. No more murders of our people.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

This is a screen grab of today's shooting by ICE in Minnesota. It is somehow even more brutal than what they did to Renee Good. This is some wild west shit... a straight up execution.

The Twin Cities are home to generational teachers of resistance and resilience. There are liberation singing groups, there are too many radical bookstores to name, and May Day in Minneapolis is something you simply have to see to believe. It is heartbreaking but it is also real life in MSP.

Along with 600 other Minnesotans, I sang and marched today near and on Lake street with the Minneapolis singing resistance choir. It was beautiful and bittersweet as we marked places our neighbors have been abducted.

Honestly. There is no easy fix to <waves in GenX> alla this. But a starting place could be to address the CRIME of Citizens United. Corporations are NOT people. Money is NOT speech. And the place we're in right now? Owes a LOT to those two things being perverted by Citizens United.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

state-sponsored child trafficking

“They need that money to invest in businesses!” And to suppress the media.

🚨MAINE RESIDENTS🚨 ICE is now patrolling in Maine.

Let’s remember he told us he would be a dictator, beginning on day one.

HEADS UP MARYLAND: ICE facility more than likely coming to the Hagerstown, MD area. www.reddit.com/r/maryland/s... Its listed to be a processing facility and is located 7.4 miles from Hagerstown Regional Airport. Located at 10900 Hopewell Rd Hagerstown MD.

The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold. As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.
