This left me sobbing. Last week I joined hundreds of faith leaders in the frigid streets of Minneapolis. I'll never forget the brutality of the occupation & the courageous love of Minnesotans. The poignant harmonies of the Marsh Family offer another powerful rebuttal to ICE's cruelty & callousness.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

#ReneeNicoleGood was not the first. Justice for #KeithPorter, too. @colorofchange.bsky.social campaigns.organizefor.org/petitions/na...

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Last March 25 masked ICE agents abducted Tufts grad student Rümeysa Öztürk less than 1 mi. from my home. @bostonglobe.com's podcast gave me chills & brought tears for Öztürk, her family & friends & our country. @aclum.bsky.social @acluvermont.bsky.social @aclu.org www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/12/m...

I was honored to be arrested and charged with "disturbing the peace" with three others seeking to deliver food, clothing & toiletries to detainees at Burlington MA ICE HQ. ICE is rarely held accountable for violently disturbing the peace of every community it enters. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

This is, of course, piracy. #VenezuelanTanker www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Trump and Hegseth have been committing murder on the high seas. They must be held accountable. The Medina family and all others devastated by these lawless #boatkillings deserve justice. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

With all the problems facing our country, Congress shouldn't have time to delist wolves from US safeguards. It should focus on REAL issues like jobs, health & climate.

AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

"This is not drug enforcement. This is murder." monacharen.bsky.social Mona Charen is a lifelong conservative. “I don’t think we’re necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war. I think we’re just gonna kill people . . . They’re going to be, like, dead.”--Donald Trump #boatmurders

Alarming but not suprising. On twelve markers of authoritarianism and "democractic erosion" identified by scholars, Donald Trump is . . . 12 for 12. #DefendDemocracy @aclu.org @moveon.org @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A picture really is worth a thousand words, isn't it? POTUS was taking a wrecking ball to democracy, but now he's literally tearing down the White House. May it disgust enough voters that we throw out his enablers and sycophants in '26 and '28. #DefendDemocracy #RebuildTheWhiteHouse #EastWing

This is extrajudicial murder. It is illegal and unethical. And it is a pathetic use of American military force, demonstrating not strength but weakness.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

"When asked whether the president had a comment on the demonstrations, Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, gave a brief response in an email. 'Who cares?' she said." @nytimes.com 10/19/25 This is why we say #NoKings.

"I hear very few people are gonna be there" -- Donald Trump, 10/15/25

So no terrorism then?

🙏 💚

"This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for masking-up and has heard the same reasons advanced by ... ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason—to terrorize Americans into quiescence."

In a stinging rebuke, US District Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee, rules the Trump administration’s campaign to arrest and deport international students for pro-Palestinian activism a “truly scandalous and unconstitutional suppression of #FreeSpeech” @aclu.org #RumeysaOzturk wapo.st/4pPUT5I

At the UN today Trump called climate change the ‘greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.’ Congrats to the clever plotters for enlisting the planet’s glaciers, oceans and forests in their scheme.

I'm torn between horror at Mr. Trump's careening malice and embarassment for my country on the world stage. #TrumpUN

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

@jimmykimmel.com disparaged neither Charlie Kirk nor Tyler Robinson. He disparaged MAGA for trying to score political points off a tragedy. This is government censorship by bullying. Shame on Brendan Carr & the FCC--and on ABC for capitulating. #FirstAmendment www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

Trump's erasure of #BlackHistory can't remove the stain of slavery.

"Murder has been committed." This was not a military operation. It was an extra-judicial killing for political purposes. Trump has blood on his hands and an insatiable appetite for power. Will Congress hold him accountable? #DefendDemocracy #RuleOfLaw #NoKings www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

#CharlieKirk did not respect the inherent worth & dignity of every person. But by this failure he could not and did not forfeit his own. May his spirit learn the lessons of this lifetime & find peace. And may we rededicate ourselves to nonviolence of word & deed. www.commondreams.org/opinion/char...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

This is 100% correct.
