Via NPR. The White House--the most partisan, anti-fact White House in history--gets final say over Smithsonian exhibitions. Literally state ideology now in America. #endthemadness #history #smithsonian

Today is Gov. Hochul's State of the State address. Will you be in Albany to stand up for climate? We'll be at the Empire State Plaza to speak up for renewable energy, for affordability, and for clean air and water. For rally information: actionnetwork.org/events/hochu...

US inflation remained at 2.7% in December, underscoring persistent cost of living challenges https://cnn.it/4jGNovl

Warner: "We've had American intervention in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Nigeria, Venezuela, maybe Greenland where he would blow up NATO. Did you see the Brits and Germans are putting troops in Greenland because they want to send a message. How is this leading to price stability, bringing down costs?"

In under 48 hours, you organized nearly 1,200 marches and vigils in all 50 states and DC for Renee Nicole Good. There are more of us than there are of them — and We the People won’t stop demanding accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee. #ICEOutForGood

ICE murdered Renee Good in Minneapolis. Since then, ICE arrested 4 members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. 2025 was the agency's deadliest year in decades. Here I name the 75 Corporate Democrats praising ICE. If your MOC is on this list, call them with the below script.

Via The Athletic. How does something like that happen by accident? A society that obeys out of fear of reprisal is a society that has lost its footing in democracy. #noice #freedomofexpression

Artists at the Golden Globes last night added their voices to the chorus of people across the country demanding that ICE get out of our communities immediately. When we all band together, we can make real change.

Sen. Kelly: “If Pete Hegseth succeeds in silencing me, then he and every other Secretary of Defense who comes after him will have license to punish any retired veteran of any political persuasion for the things that they say.”

Which is more likely: stores will completely upend their inventory or will stop accepting SNAP?

If you can't join a protest or regular meetings for any reason, here is a list of alternate ways to get involved as an activist

This would be a great question to pose to the White House. If you believe that federal officers can kill individuals who disobey their orders, does that mean you think the Capitol Police should have opened fire on January 6th? Do you think Ashli Babbitt deserved to die and others should have too?

"Have they no conscience? Or barring that, no concern for their own reputation? Or, hell, forget the higher faculties altogether—can’t they even manage a superstitious lizard-brain revulsion against slandering the dead?" Well, no.

Minnesota today

Who needs history? Certainly not #America All hail the perfectest leader of all the history of people, who brought us fire, peace, and beautiful groceries. I think that's all accurate in the new history...

It was a rhetorical device for sure in the past, not reality. There's not even smoke and mirrors around the imperialism today, like there was in the past. It's just embraced.

Imagine Greenland's people being made to live in fear because an American president was threatening to invade their land and take their resources. What happened to the bright, shining light spreading democracy across the world? Now America's been relegated to schoolyard bully status.

Today at noon! @geneseevalleyindivisible.org

The transformation of ICE into a type of national police force, backed, in some cases, by soldiers from the National Guard, has been covered as immigration story—but these forces are reshaping democracy for all of us. Listen to 'Autocracy in America' here: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

THIS WEEKEND: More than 1,000 marches and vigils are taking place nationwide to honor Renee Nicole Good, demand accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s terror. Please join us: mobilize.us?tag_ids=2913...

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

WATCH: Eyewitness Emily Heller tells Chris Hayes what she saw when an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis. “There was no doubt in mind that she was fatally shot immediately,” says Heller.

The Department of Homeland Security released a Maryland woman who was held for 25 days despite evidence that her lawyers say proves she was born in the United States and is a citizen.

Live: Thousands gather to memorialize woman killed by ICE agent in Minneapolis "The mother of the woman who was killed identified her as Renee Nicole Good, 37, a Minneapolis resident."

ICE’s “wartime recruitment” ads are running on national television, proliferating on social media, and popping up on platforms such as Hulu, HBO Max, Spotify, and YouTube with alarming frequency. www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the 36th Constitutional Crisis Call-out at the #Rochester Federal Building. Only together can we restore the #ruleoflaw and get America to a healthy place again!

It's so important what @gvcp.org @geneseevalleyindivisible.org @indivisibleroc.bsky.social @flxmcx.bsky.social and others did today in memorializing the truth of #january6 We cannot stand idly by while this administration rewrites history!

Five years ago today, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol in a last-ditch effort to cling to power after losing a free and fair election. January 6 was not a protest that got out of hand — it was an attempted coup, carried out in plain sight.

225 out on a soaking wet day in Canandaigua to remember J6 and tell Tenney: no war! Elections are coming! Lots of supportive honking in supposedly deep red district! Share your pics! @flxmcx.bsky.social @gvcp.org @geneseevalleyindivisible.org

Yes, it's unconstitutional to run again Donald. Try reading the Constitution, not Newsmax sometime. You might learn a lot.

Seems like the experience with COVID, like the stressed health care infrastructure, really got solved by the combination of for-profit care and government indifference. Good thing insurance premiums skyrocketed too. How about some candidates with a plan to address health care get elected in 2026?

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Two policemen remember January 6. One was defending the Capitol, the other attacking it. Both were transformed by the experience, and by the photos and video taken that day www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
