In all seriousness, I see the UK arresting a MEMBER OF THE ROYAL FAMILY for Epstein ties and here we sit, our thumbs up our butts, in the country where our 6th grade social studies teachers smugly assured us this kind of lawlessness and nepotism could never happen

from the family of Virginia Giuffre: “At last. Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.... He was never a prince. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”

“Don’t be fooled by those in E’s circle who say they didn’t know. E not only didn’t hide what was happening, he took a certain glee in making people watch.& people did watch-scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League & other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched &they didn’t care”

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

I wrote about how there are no pure platforms or publishers and how there are very few ethical media diets. Which leaves those of us who know we can’t consume ethically but still want to try, left to navigate what feels right, or, at least, less bad. lithub.com/what-do-you-...

while I wish we too had Consequences For Horrifying Crimes over here, Andrew and Trump are like the two most famous, powerful and well-protected men in that whole file and it’s impossible for this not to change the math completely. other men will be afraid today who weren’t yesterday

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

"We are bearing witness to what fear can do to the health of a community" A poignant piece @NEJM about the Minneapolis devastation "We care for our patients because they are human beings. Our patients are being harmed. People are dying unnecessarily." www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

We will not free ourselves from fascism without taxing billionaires out of existence.

"It is long past time to rein in not only counterterrorism, but also the concept of terrorism that fuels it." My op-ed in today's SF Chronicle on how Trump draws on a concept of terrorism that has been racialized & selective from the beginning. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

lots of good info here!

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

If you read one thing today: Field Notes for Cracking an Empire, by Jackie Summers. jackiesummers1.substack.com/p/field-note... Also: rest, nourish, irl connection, & joy.

The same administration terrorizing immigrants with ICE raids is waging war abroad. These struggles are connected. Defend our neighbors. Hands off Venezuela.

Stable rent. Affordable necessities. Free childcare. Free busses. This is the bare minimum that people deserve and people really act like he has outlandish ideas.

ICE murdering people of any citizenship status should be a very hard line in the sand for absolutely every single one of us. And at this point, I think they’ve done it seven or eight times if you’re waiting for a tipping point, the tipping point was the first time this happened.

I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.

It is perfectly reasonable and, in fact, moral to be shaken, bereft and enraged by that woman’s murder. And all that her murder represents. Let the hurt wear you out. But also, let the hurt push you to reach out and connect with people in your life who get it. Do NOT allow the hurt to isolate you.

Today New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a plan for universal child care across the state. Governor Hochul also announced that she’s “committing to fully fund the first two years” of Zohran's plan for free preschool for all 2-year-olds.

My wife @annapiela.bsky.social and I wrote a new book that comes out in January - Confronting Islamophobia in the Church. Invite us to your church, book group, or podcast, please! If you could help us spread the word and even preorder the book, we'd be grateful. www.judsonpress.com/Products/J32...

Absolutely beautiful piece. As a Muslim, it renewed my love for the Qur’anic Jesus & Mary, & how they are in dialogue with the Biblical stories. Thank you. Prayers for more justice & more peace in 2026.

a very happy The Fellowship Sets Forth from Rivendell Day (December 25) to all who celebrate

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

[GIFT LINK] Lots of folks are sharing this incisive commentary from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social on the Nazi tattoo candidate and the Democrats' insistence that we have to tolerate a smidge of racism to appeal to the working class. She, of course takes, that apart. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

Abolish ICE and the Border Patrol.

The “controversy”? That he called his dad’s cousin his aunt. Guess what, CNN a-holes, in many MANY USian cultures, we call all our elders (by blood or community) “aunts” & “uncles” as a sign of love & respect. No excuse for disgraceful corporate media disingenuousness.

There were a LOT of general strike signs and MULTIPLE speakers called for a general strike. Want to know the value of the #NoKings protests? They helped make this kind of demand more credible. Building capacity for mass action, step by step.

The clips and conversations I’m hearing about the SNAP (food stamp) cuts should be above the fold everywhere. It’s a scary time for a lot of people.

When politicians aren’t afraid of people there is no governance.

People across the country are fighting for their lives and also to protect their neighbors. They are doing so in the 100s of thousands every single day. You can choose to join the fight or you can pretend that "no one is doing anything."

Also remember: trolls make money off of your interactions. They monetize that shit. Block them and drive them into penury.
