If you are involved with ICE patrols or protests, you need to see this. They are changing their tactics. www.instagram.com/reel/DT6ec8D...

For anyone following the shooting of Alex Pretti this morning in Minneapolis, here's a gift link to the NYT analysis of the event second-by-second from verified witness videos. SPOILER: He wasn't holding a gun. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

WOMEN: Does the name on your ID right now match your birth certificate EXACTLY? If not, do you have the legal documents to show that EVERY SINGLE TIME you changed your name, it was a legal change? Better start getting them together right now. open.substack.com/pub/wendy664...

Electrical workers in Minneapolis fight back! IBEW Local 292 appears to have just authorized their workers to walk off the job in protest of ICE or when necessary to protect themselves from ICE. THIS IS HUGE! Esp. if other unions follow suit - could it be the start of a regional general strike?

This is chilling - an interview with two observers in Minneapolis who were taken into custody by ICE, describing how they were treated during the 7-8 hours they were held. youtu.be/Inn-sfiMcyE?...

"José y Maria" has been one of my favorite Christmas drawings for several years now, ever since I first saw it back during Trump 1.0. I wanted to use it in my Substack this season, so I tracked down the artist to ask if he'd give permission (because copyright is important, right?)

AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI. So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…

My guess about those emails were released today is that SOMEONE has decided that its time to cut loose from Trump - they see him as a liability now, more than a useful tool.

Newsom: They want to bring us back to a pre-1960s, maybe 1860s world. And you’re seeing it not just on voting rights—you’re seeing it on civil rights, on women’s rights, on LGBTQ rights. They’re censoring historic facts. They’re on a banning binge—Bud Light and Big Bird

It would have cost $38 billion to extend ACA subsidies for one year, and the Dems would have agreed to the funding bill to reopen the government. The GOP refused. Trump sent $40 million to Argentina. It's not the money. They'd rather starve people than fund healthcare.

Oregon SNAP benefits are loaded for November!

The sandwich guy has been acquitted. When the jury did not return a quick verdict, it looked like he might be toast. Turns out they needed to chew on it some more. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Anyone else wonder WTF was going on with Grandpa while someone falls to the ground behind him? And he just stands there looking away?

Someone made this AI video about the ballroom, and it's spot-on. Be a shame if it went viral. youtu.be/HPuAjg9ylko?...

Is anyone paying attention as Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley has held the floor to protest Trump’s authoritarian regime in the Senate now for SEVENTEEN HOURS? And he's still going! www.youtube.com/live/STH89y8...

Plymouth, Massachusetts- somewhere between 2-3,000 people

Plymouth Massachusetts today, right near Plymouth Rock.

Fairhope, representing Alabama and doing us all proud! And ma'am, if you need a lawyer, I can probably find a few.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

#A_NewHope ✊

Plymouth, MA today - not sure how many, but it was a LOT!

Swear her in.

Priorities.

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

President Donald Trump, in an address to the U.S.’ top military officials Tuesday, stressed that after decades of military campaigns abroad, it was time to turn the armed forces inwards against an unspecified “enemy from within.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.” The Trump DOJ scrubbed this study from their website.

Don Jr went on Fox to attack people who call their opponents fascists. Yes, this Don Jr:

Donald Trump again confused Armenia with Albania in a recent interview, saying he ended the war between Azerbaijan and Albania. The actual conflict was between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh, not involving Albania.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Charlie Kirk was killed today at an event in Utah. Single shot to his neck from approx. 200 yards away. No suspect in custody yet.

So the White House has an official TikTok page now? I'm deeply suspicious. And the comments are open? Seems like a really easy way to scout out opponents. Blocked! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BBNqK4/

Gov. Gavin Newsom's bid to redraw California's congressional seats to create more Democrat-friendly districts has a 22-point advantage in support among the state's voters, according to Newsom's longtime pollster.

NEW VIDEO: President Donald Trump announced he will issue a new executive order to get rid of mail-in voting and to control the counting of ballots in 2026. This is not a political stunt. It is an existential threat to democracy. I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6K4...
