"I've asked them to get their affairs in order to make sure they have their wills written... because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements, but for us with our bodies to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable..." www.npr.org/2026/01/18/n...

There is something strange about this video. Clothes, hair, body movements are wrong. Is this really you @hcrichardson.bsky.social youtu.be/4_ehnJ-eIiA?...

What do you think about being a citizen of a country that instills such fear among the citizens of another country? www.nytimes.com/video/world/...

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Every Democrat should pledge to back each of these 10 steps to make America affordable again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0atXZZveIjE

Check this out, now ICE is tasked with fraud prevention? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

The level of corruption is just insane. Even Putin is better at hiding it

Pressure works. Make them bend, and if they won't bend, we'll simply break them.

There is free speech that defends American values. And then there is free hate speech. Why are these hate guys, often in positions of wealth and power, so afraid of peaceful protesters watching them? What are they hiding? What are they protecting? www.aol.com/articles/mic...

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Seems to me that armed and masked men roaming the streets of Minneapolis without authorization by the local authorities fit the definition of domestic terrorism better than an unarmed woman in a car going zero mph. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

Just on a quiet city street in Minneapolis.

I just received a message from a former student of mine who lives in Minneapolis. I wanted to share it with you. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-view-from-minneapolis

E 34th St & Park Ave S (Minneapolis) — Report of confrontation after a vehicle crash involving federal agents

Bit of a parable here.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

ICE agents killing people in the streets. The naked extortion of a sovereign state. The National Guard unleashed in American cities. The Justice Department weaponized to prosecute political opponents. The tyranny is on full display — and it's waking America up.

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Truth from the Mayor of Minneapolis. Lies from Kristi and her goons. www.cbsnews.com/news/minneap...

Look at the videos and then tell cosplay Kristi that she is such a shameless (and frankly stupid) liar that even her supporters say "your lie should at least match the situation."

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit. If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

“The money will be controlled by me”

With Trump, we see American imperialism with no clothes. Naked and vain. American imperialism is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous. I wrote this essay in March 2025 when Vance visited Greenland, and it is unfortunately still too relevant. snyder.substack.com/p/vance-in-g...

Arizona Senator Mark Kelly (@captmarkkelly.bsky.social) and Jon Stewart dissect Pete Hegseth's "sedition" accusation against the retired Navy captain and how it speaks to the fragile egos of the Trump administration

My friend @charlotteclymer.bsky.social has written about Mark Kelly’s distinguished military career. This is not to be missed. open.substack.com/pub/charlott...

Way to go Hilton!!!!

Watching @PaulRieckhoff.bsky.social right now on @maddow.bsky.social . You both nailed it - it's not about drugs or oil. It's about grabbing as much control and land as possible and then using the resources for personal gain. Our leaders are locusts!

"Hernández boasted that he would 'stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses' while trafficking more than 500 tons of cocaine into the US. "Trump freed him, saying, 'If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail'..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

This political attack on Kelly continues to be more and more dangerous, un-American, and authoritarian. It’s beyond bad for our military, our politics, our free speech, and our democracy. And if they can do it to Sen Kelly, they can do it to any other of the 2 million military retirees in America.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Who let these self-important boys out of the house? Who gave them a microphone? And what country can they go to to live out their fantasy?

The corruption in the Epstein files. The testimony of Jack Smith. Murder on the open seas. The five-year anniversary of January 6. THEY’RE STILL HERE Though they want us to forget.

This story details that the teen they detained for six months was just about to graduate high school early at the age of 16. Definitely the kind of irredeemable criminal monster we don’t want in America.

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files. #ImpeachAndConvict47NOW

“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict the dividing line will not be Mason & Dixon’s, but between patriotism and intelligence on one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other.” ~President Ulysses S. Grant, 1875. Image: LOC.

Every day that the pushback by Congress is muted, the more we can be sure Trump will take it asa green light to invade another country.

So…Americans represented by Democratic Senators and Representatives? Sorry. We’re no longer part of “we the people,” according to this regime.

Ughhh

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 was a campaign trail boogeyman for President Trump, but much of it became reality during his first year back in office.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

This Christmas the real Scrooges are corporations that raked in record profits this year and paid their CEOs millions of dollars but still deny workers a living wage and benefits.

Some good news to end the year on. The Supreme Court today blocked Trump from sending the National Guard into the Chicago area — finally setting a limit to Trump’s executive power. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/finally-the-supreme-court-stops-trump

That’s not how GDP works. But it is how propaganda works.

"Radical Left Democrats!" DRINK!!!
