Some of you on the livestream tonight asked how you could help in Minneapolis-St Paul. One of our allies, Jolly Good Ginger, has been posting a video series on the mutual aid efforts in the native community for observers. (Link in FB comments.) @powwowgroundscoffee on Instagram.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

The American people are meeting the harms and horrors of the Trump-Vance administration with historic displays of courage – and we will continue to fight alongside you every single day. A message from CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social:

In court yesterday, the govt could not answer one simple – but critical question – so we will help them. DHS and Sec. Kristi Noem are violating a court order by blocking members of Congress from conducting oversight at ICE facilities.

Cook Political moves 18 House races in Democrats’ direction, including four key races from Lean R to Toss up. All I can say to Trump is keep going!

Great letter in yesterday's Irish Times, we keep hearing about 'the rules based order', but we've seen most governments, including ours, allow international law to be shredded by apartheid Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people for more than two years. #GazaGenocide #SanctionsNow

Mark Ruffalo donned an anti-ICE pin at the #GoldenGlobes in tribute to Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this week in Minneapolis. The black-and-white pin read “BE GOOD." Follow live updates from the show: apnews.com/live/golden-...

Notice how you couldn't badmouth Charlie Kirk but you can badmouth Renee Good. Notice how it's okay to storm the Capitol and beat up cops because it was what Trump wanted and it was against Democrats, but now if you sass an ICE agent, they're okay with you being murdered. MAGA is a fucking joke.

We, the people, will not be silent. We demand ICE and this admin face accountability for Renee Nicole Good and others who have been needlessly assaulted, for those who have died in ICE custody, and for all people living in fear in America.

In this time of crisis, history will remember who joined the movement to uphold democracy.

Did Trump’s DOJ really think dropping hundreds of blacked-out pages counted as complying with the law? I know it’s a bunch of unqualified folks with no backbone over there, but this is next-level.

These are the Nazis calling themselves "Blood Tribe" that marched in Little Cock, Arkansas. If you know any of these yokel-haram crisis actor motherfuckers, let us know. We want to have a word with their employers. We don't doxx people but Nazis aren't people. Fuck them. They don't get to hide.
