1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Here's what Dems should do: 1) Double down on the demands. 2) Make clear there will be no additional funding. If the GOP wants to shut down DHS, that's on them. Don't surrender to pushback from these goons. Take inspiration from the people of Minneapolis. apnews.com/article/home...

Fun fact- if you take AIPAC money you can’t get an Indivisible endorsement in your primary.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer. (I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)

Name them shame them

Ultimately we've got to prosecute agents and officials who committed crimes, and we've got to dismantle DHS entirely and start over. But as a list of demands to reduce harm now? This is surprisingly good from Dem leadership. One big missing thing I don't see in this letter: funding levels?

This is my hometown - Buda, Texas. Guy runs up and starts pummeling one of the girls. I am so proud of these high school students standing up for their neighbors. There are more of us than the fascist dipshits, and there's safety in numbers. www.kxan.com/news/local/b...

Bravo. There's a lot of leverage out there if you look for it.

Happy Minnesota Caucuses Day! And congrats to @peggyflanagan.bsky.social on this timely endorsement from @mnindivisible.bsky.social!!!

Early last year I approached Rep Gimenez with an offer to work together to protect immigrants in his district & mine. He rudely told me he had his own strategy & walked off. Apparently his strategy was to do nothing for over a year to actually stop this. Miami deserves better.

Neither Trump nor the GOP in congress have this power, & the only way they do this is if we decline to stand up for our rights. He's had a string of electoral defeats & rightfully fears the midterms. His outbursts are real threats, but they come from weakness. Tough shit, he's going down. No Kings.

Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, Shaboozey, and Olivia Dean all took home #Grammys, and all took a moment during their speeches to speak out on behalf of immigrants or call out ICE as the Trump admin’s brutal and deadly immigration crackdown continues. ✊ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Hmm, Paul Weiss, where have I heard that name before?

They bleeped it, but pretty sure Billie Eilish said "Fuck ICE"

Love Carole King wearing a huge "ICE OUT" pin.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

I'm going to be joining and speaking on this call in a bit. Very cool list of folks presenting. Should be interesting - check it out! www.mobilize.us/mayday/event...

lol good luck with your Trump-friendly gerrymander this November, Texas GOP.

Hey heads up - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social’s joining @velshi.com in a minute to talk No Kings III.

Just a fundamentally evil, malevolent person. Rotten to the very core.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

This is a funny looking deescalation. Sure looks like they're ramping up their capacity to arrest, detain, deport, and terrorize Americans exercising their constitutional rights. Should Senate Dems give the regime the benefit of the doubt and agree to more funding for DHS?

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

Heard of 3.5%? We've got our movement friend and famed expert in authoritarianism Erica Chenoweth joining us today for a live Q&A on What's the Plan at 3pm ET. Come ask a question and join the discussion!

Just saw this video where MGP talks about the need to be "strategic." She made this because she's getting massive, deserved blowback from her own constituents after breaking with Dems for MORE ICE FUNDING last week. Now she's all about "strategy". I didn't hear the words, "I'm sorry, I fucked up."

I'm a sucker for a good product review. Here's some practical advice with a powerful story.

Between the Suozzi townhall, this, and the MGP video today, it is becoming increasingly clear that Democratic leaders still do not really know how angry Democratic voters are at them. There is a long summer ahead and there are going be a lot of hard primary fights. Good.

#1 question has to be: Why should the American people trust a person who accepted a $50,000 bribe about ANYTHING????

Suozzi voted for ICE funding last week and issued a preening self-congratulatory press release afterwards bragging about bucking the Dem Party on the vote. FAFO.

It'll be the biggest protest in American history because people are going to make it the biggest protest in American history. Nokings.org has all the info you need for 3/28, and more ICE watch trainings coming next week!

. @ezralevin.bsky.social tells Jen Psaki that 200,000 people signed up for No Kings Coalition training "to learn how to do what Alex Pretti and Renee Good were doing." Levin predicts the largest protest in American history for "No Kings 3" on March 28.

Let's be clear about what's happening here: this is an escalation in unconstitutional federal repression of Minnesotans for exercising their rights. Cowardly federal agents are hiding from the cameras for a reason: what they're doing is utterly shameful.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

THIS is the last straw!!!

It is vitally important that Democrats (and the media) frame this properly. If the government gets shutdown it is because the GOP insists on DHS, ICE and CBP continuing to occupy American cities and trample the rights of US citizens.

From what I'm hearing from folks on the ground, this is exactly correct. This regime does nothing but lie, and they respond to nothing but strength. Dems and other leaders should recognize they're weak now - ignore the propaganda and go on offense.

"Its acronym, F.A.F.O., references a slang term for negative consequences." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Hearing folks are bummed they missed the Eyes on ICE training - but good news, it's all recorded and public! We'll be holding more live trainings soon, but if you aren't one of 200,000 who already watched it, find it here: www.youtube.com/live/zqka9fU...

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Beautiful tribute to a good man.

There's been a lot of discussion about the echoes of the civil rights movement in the protests today, with people obviously drawing comparisons between the strategies, tactics and coalitions that were vital then and are still vital now. But this post has me thinking about a different echo ...

If you didn't catch this segment of @maddow.bsky.social's tonight, I recommend you watch the whole thing. We're seeing both utterly sadistic mass scale horror alongside incredibly inspiring mass displays of humanity. The regime is weak. The people will win.

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

Oh this is rich.

Their entire strategy was based on escalating endlessly until we broke. They broke first. It’s not over but it’s a tacit acknowledgment we are stronger than them.
