These unconstitutional, illegal acts by the Trump admin. will only continue +likely, they will get worse.Why are the dems in congress not meeting w/democratic governors by now, to plan an alternative? Some sort of soft succession or alliance(s) that will enable us not to pay taxes to this atrocity.

“In January, Trump told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., that he would unfreeze the funds [$16 billion in new rail tunnels for NY + NJ] if Schumer agreed to rename Dulles Airport and Penn Station in his name.” He is a deeply sick man with no redeeming qualities. #trumpmustgo

The requests of the dems for changes to DHS policy were objectively reasonable. The GOP should be ashamed of themselves.

In reply to Bannon’s insane comment—“we’re going to have ICE surround the polls come November. …And you can whine+cry…all you want...”—every state should call up its National Guard to arrest this army of white nationalists, as the federal government cannot legally do this.

Maine should vote her out. She has no morals.

“All we had to do, as Lincoln put it, was to transmit this noble edifice ‘undecayed by the lapse of time and untorn by usurpation, to the latest generation…’ We cannot fail especially with “such unworthy +unimpressive opponents.”

Trump’s “tastes run to gilded accents and kitschy musicals [which] isn’t a good proxy for either the general population or arts patrons in Washington.”

Former Trump voters who elected him for his promises to make life affordable see yet another example of his useless and, clearly in this latest effort, unconstitutional focus on retribution.

"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/o...

“The glorification of cruelty and rejection of compassion don’t just shape the Trump administration’s policies. Those values are also at the core of Trump’s own character and worldview.” —HR Clinton 1/29/26 Atlantic. #resist #impeachtrump

With horror of Trump’s white nationalist ICE army, his administration is destroying America with a “spurious alternative reality, built from Nazi marches, internet memes, and Vance’s and Trump’s lies…consciously created and spread.” We must fight back! #nokings

Re DHS budget: “Social Dems demanded an end to “roving patrols,” w/fed agents required to use warrants +coordinate w/local +state law enforcement officials. …a uniform code of conduct for agents +independent investigations to enforce that code. …+agents to use body cameras +to stop wearing masks.”

“Today, nothing stands in the way of the brutal tactics of ICE and the Border Patrol. …[Trump] is not withdrawing the federal agents from the state or allowing local authorities to investigate, let alone prosecute, them for their actions.” Let’s all follow the resolute, peaceful example of MN.

The horror of ICE has reached Maine. In MN, Gov.Walz has not been told the officers’ names who murdered Alex Pretti. The wife of Renee Good is still, absurdly being investigated by the federal government. While replacing Bovino w/Holman may be a baby step, Trump,Miller+Noem are not to be trusted.

I will be attending. www.mobilize.us/indivisible-...

About time though good to hear.

Gov Pritzker is clearly referring to a US Border Patrol official Greg Bovino, who not only speaks the language of lies of the Trump administration but who now is dressing like a Nazi.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

“As of this weekend, Democrats are going on the offensive with a number of Democrats saying they will not agree to legislation that funds ICE without changes to the way that agency has been conducting itself.” This offensive should be supported by all dems +republicans who are finally horrified

Wholeheartedly agree

Blumenthal speaks to the Constitution. Congressional Republicans think only of what will enrich them. They are not conservatives, they are radicals who no longer adhere to our Constitution or Bill of Rights.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

FBI supervisory agent Tracee Mergen in Minneapolis resigned after FBI leadership in DC pressured her to discontinue an investigation into ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot & killed Renee Good. An investigation following an agent-involved shooting death is commonplace. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

The hypocrisy is dominant on every level of the Trump administration. Except now there is no where to hide.

“Lincoln was on solid historical ground when he reminded Americans of his era that those trying to impose a new system of white nationalist oligarchy on the nation were the true radicals, while those defending equality were conservatives.” Trump et al are ignoring our Constitution +Bill of Rights.

The AP reports that it has seen an ICE memo for agent training that asserts “sweeping power to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judge’s warrant.” The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable search+seizure, +has been understood to require a warrant signed by a judge.—Joyce Vance

Reflect on the conclusion from this “breaking news” from The New York Times/Siena Poll.

“Today…the death of 55-year-old Cuban-born Geraldo Lunas Campos detained in Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas, was ruled a homicide.”Trump tried to deport the two witnesses of this murder. And the Washington Post reported that at least 30 people died in detention last year. —HCR 1/21 Letters

“Tom Nichols of The Atlantic wrote: “No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.”” —excerpted from HCR 1/21 Letters

Appears that a soft succession is the only answer.

How can we have, for more than nearly a year, a president who is in no way fit to serve? Did he really accuse Waltz of ordering the murder of former MN State House speaker Melissa Hartman? Astonishing! As this piece is titled Trump has “A Foreign Policy of Failure and Dishonor.”He must be stopped.

Since 2019, in Fiona Hill’s testimony to a House Committee, “Russians [remain] pushing the creation of spheres of influence offering…to somehow “swap” Venezuela, their closest ally in Latin America, for Ukraine.” We the people support Ukraine; we do not support the Trump administration in any way.

How is it that Hegseth can initiate actions against the highly admirable Sen. Mark Kelly on the basis of what is a fundamental principle of military law, that people in the military can refuse illegal orders? He can’t get away with calling this seditious. Is he saying that illegal orders are okay?

“In the words of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, MAGA Republicans “have abolished the Congress.” She accurately observed, “They just do what the president insists that they do.” “…we [also] cannot ignore the Supreme Court’s responsibility for wrecking the Constitution.

What the Trump administration has done in Venezuela is the Manifest Destiny of the 21st century. As @hcrichardson.bsky.social explains, and @stevethedog2024.bsky.social shares this illegal act is “destroying the rules-based international order…”

Nationally it is a gerrymandering frenzy, internationally it is taking over countries for natural resources. This is so far from making America great again.

“All 197 of these people have legal status in the United States. They entered legally. They have a benefit that they’re in line for. They have been pulled out of the line, or their cases have been paused.” This is happening across the country in recent weeks. #impeachTrump

“The U.S. president this weekend attacked a sovereign nation, killed its citizens, and kidnapped its leader.” POTUS and his VP concede this is for oil, a fossil fuel we are hoping to move away from for the sake of our shared planet. #impeach

The Bari Weiss effect

May 2026 be brighter, kinder and with greater peace. The quiet and calm of new year’s day (here in Cambridge MA) is a good start 😊 Happy New Year

In the last Bulwark Morning Shots of 2025: “When people show you who they are, believe them.”—Maya Angelo “I will say to my republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: there will come a day when Donald Trump will be gone, but your dishonor will remain.” —Liz Cheney Read on…

Read this current status of the Abrego Garcia case: a quintessential example of this administration’s lies/misinformation. As we head into 2026, let’s hold tight to the reply of @joycewhitevance.bsky.social to Sen. Cory Booker question, the Constitution “lives in our hearts + stays in our minds.”

This photo, after the egregious act that will impact in horrific ways many American people who rely on the Obamacare subsidies, visually reveals that republicans in Congress are heartless and ignorant.

Proud of the artists who bowed out of performing at the Kennedy Center (KC) given Trump’s outrageous act of adding his name. Kudos to: The Cookers, the cast of Hamilton, Jason Moran + Ben Folds + Shonda Rhimes who resigned their respective KC roles, Chuck Reed, Doug Varrone+Dancers, +Kristy Lee

As all student debtors should, given this administration is owed nothing because all monies they receive is used to harm.

Voting is by state. NO state should be giving this president any voter information, as his intent is strictly to disenfranchise voters.

EXCLUSIVE: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will be sworn in as mayor on midnight on January 1 inside the old abandoned City Hall subway station, saying that he sees the venue as a symbol for the aims of his upcoming administration.

How we learn from history. But, first we have read to understand.
