Crucially, many local governments are furious with ICE over these purchases, because they were not consulted or even told. Because they are federal property now, it's taking a commercial property off the tax rolls while likely imposing dramatic additional infrastructure costs.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

Agree!

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

A new wave of Democrats is creating energy & victories by embracing economic populism. They can be even more successful, in elections & governance, if they complement a bold affordability agenda with an ambitious commitment to civic renewal & democracy reform. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/01/08/r...

Well said: “Each of us knows that [the Senate] doesn’t work very well right now. Each of us knows we should be taking a look in the mirror and acknowledging that lives lived in a politicized echo chamber are unworthy of a place that calls itself a deliberative body.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

Democracy depends on a fearless and free press. Corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals with many other business interests should not be allowed to control our media. They cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own financial interests.

Interesting piece calling for democracy reform and renewal in France that’s directly relevant to US. In both nations, the answer to political dysfunction and public frustration is deeper democracy and enriched citizenship, not strongman rule and ever more concentrated power. #democracy

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Thrilled to see growing consensus that Dems must step up in the Continuing Resolution fight. Key to doing so? Refuse to frame this as "shutting down government." Instead, call it what it is - refusing to be an accomplice to turning the government into a weapon against the American people.

The basic point here by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social is this: If the Democrats' plan is to keep playing dead, they need new leadership. Many of us concluded this long ago, but the argument is strongly made if anyone still needs convincing. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

I expected the hardliners in the early days of the administration to try to slow walk people from "why do we need to know about Harriet Tubman?" to "how bad is extrajudicial killing really?" but they have opened the bidding at "how bad is cancer really?"

Seattle voters just approved a renewal of the city's pioneering Democracy Voucher program, with 56% in favor. A new book from @drjenh.bsky.social found that the program, created to counter Big Money in elections, has increased local donor participation and diversified Seattle's candidate pool.

Interesting experiment.

This! The right has been so good at giving its constituents a role — something to do — beyond voting. If the left (or whatever is the opposition to Trumpism) wants to compete, it needs to be *participatory* — ie, it needs to create opportunities for action in both the digital and physical worlds.

Yes. And the Democratic leadership SHOULD be working to get this voter with a passionate opinion about the DMV to have a passionate opinion about Comcast and Big Cable — and link that to Republican policies.
