happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

It's time for Americans to stop referring to Trump and his cabinet full of lawless thugs as an "administration" and identify them as what they truly are: A REGIME. Only then can the others remove their blinders. It is time to create a pre-midterm election action plan. Time is running out

AOC: Why haven’t so many people been prosecuted? Why are Pam Bondi and the DOJ continuing to hide the majority of the Epstein files, which they admit contain even more direct evidence of genuinely shocking crimes and abuse of women, minors, and increasingly men…

Rep. Lieu demands Deputy AG Todd Blanche be fired: "Yesterday, he said essentially that it is not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein. If Jeffrey Epstein was human trafficking minors for these sex parties, and you show up and patronize the establishment at that party, yes, you're guilty.”

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Marimar Martinez: “The government told the people they were targeting the worst of the worst…They are not targeting the worst of the worst. They are targeting individuals who fit a certain profile, who simply have a certain accent, a non-white skin color, just like me.”

Band persons didn't always have to look like Calvin Klein models. Enjoy... youtu.be/95ywPJ_8hV4?...

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

"Imagine if we actually followed the Constitution."

Luke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”

How sick we must be to allow pathetic, ill-intentioned persons to destroy our country! We cannot allow it. Minneapolis has been a fine example of non-violence and undeniable tenacity. We must find more ways to continue the non-violent fight. I know that we can stop those who will try. WE MUST!

These are common American products in European stores. Make sure to boycott them. In Europe Twix and Bounty are pretty good though. Its hard to boycott some products that have factories in Europe and are not like the American made products

Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity." Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."

Trump thinks there are hidden votes in Fulton County, so why is it so difficult for him to understand that we think there are hidden men in the Epstein files? 🔄 🤷‍♂️

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

The question has never been whether Bad Bunny will continue to be authentic. It’s whether that authenticity could survive in the Trump 2.0 era—and, now, how it will translate when put on one of the world’s largest stages.

These lists are always subjective, and everyone will have a missing favorite (the absent David Lindley should be in the top ten, but he never gets the love he deserves). Still, some unexpected but worthy choices. And placing Prince and Sister Rosetta Tharpe at 1 & 2 respectively is on target.

My dad and I shared a love for Willie Nelson. He didn't make it quite long enough for this one. Which broke my heart a bit. Because I knew it would have immediately become one of his favorites. I can hear him singing along. "Bad breath is better than no breath at all." Words to live by. Literally.

Absolute capitalism is the belief that government should play no part in commerce. Absolute communism is the belief that government should have complete control of commerce. Socialism is the spectrum in between and balance is key. But, basic needs should never be exploited by capitalists for profit.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Just saying. This is my problem with the Salvation Army. Only my opinion. 1.) Any 'good works' a religion does in service of spreading their religion is manipulation. 2.) I'd rather support groups that want to provide help to people without strings attached or ulterior motives.

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

Trump is trying to reshape immigration courts to fit his mass deportation agenda. In early December, the New York Times reported, eight judges serving on the bench at New York City’s 26 Federal Plaza—ground zero for courthouse arrests—were terminated.

I’m so proud of the talented Leo High School Choir and all they are doing to represent the South Side of Chicago!

House Republicans Cook Up A Garbage Healthcare Bill That Won't Fool Anyone

It's sickening that Trump basically appears to think "Look guys, I'm tormenting brown people!" is fulfilling his campaign promises. And that there is anybody in the voting public who sees it that way.

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data. My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

In case you need it today, here’s a recent view from the lake in Wakefield, MA.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1967: The landmark film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner opens in theaters. It tackles the topic of interracial marriage just five months after the Supreme Court’s decision in Loving v. Virginia. Nominated for 10 Oscars, it won for Best Actress and Best Screenplay.

I got done reading the Onion and the Hard Times this morning and jumped over to the Wall Street Journal and scrolled halfway down the homepage before I remembered that I wasn't looking at satire anymore and such is the nature of the world we now inhabit.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

We are 10 months into Trump’s presidency and Republican control of Washington. The only major thing they’ve accomplished is Trump’s “big beautiful bill,” which kicks 10 million Americans off their health care, strips food assistance from millions more, and hands $1T in tax cuts to the top 1%.
