A local paper did a huge write-up about an upcoming protest in a rural MN town. Can’t access the info because of the paywall. Can’t read anti-ICE letters to the editor. Paywalls keep us uninformed and keep us from building movements.

Exactly. Paywalls have reduced the amount of well-researched and documented essays & articles to reach the public. It’s created a less well-informed and more homogenized base of info from which to form one’s own opinions. Then what is out there becomes copied without credit on revenue platforms.

Yes, exactly. More examples from THEY KNEW:

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024. If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

Absolutely losing my mind over Ava, THE ROCK'S DAUGHTER, quitting WWE despite them offering her a raise to keep working a pretty cushy kayfabe general manager gig and then the day after her contract ends she posts this

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social has been trying to get qualified immunity eliminated her ENTIRE career. What the fuck is it going to take to get people to listen to her?

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Almost every reason people have for defunding or abolishing ICE is also a reason to defund or abolish the police, yet many people who are rightly calling for action against ICE would never come close to doing to the same for police. But this fight goes beyond just ICE. ICE represents a larger issue.

Why did (x) group vote for trump? Is a question is see over and over again from people coming up to speed. It's either sexism or racism that they've internalized. Trump's all about impunity and fear, disinfo that feeds their biases makes them feel as if Trump's promising protection.

Today, I signed the discharge petition on our bill to ban members of Congress, the VP, and President from trading stocks. GOP leadership is trying to block any real progress — I’m fighting to end stock trading to show the American people we work for them, not our pocketbooks.

As Kelly builds support for her Noem impeachment resolution, Dems on the House Judiciary Committee are pushing for a separate, panel-led probe of Noem. That effort is key as an investigation by the judiciary panel is the first step in a formal impeachment process. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.) says she's now up to 100 cosponsors on her resolution to impeach Kristi Noem. May not matter much now, but if they keep ticking up and take back the House in Nov....

MORE: DOJ revealed these "corrections" to the record in a long-running lawsuit against DOGE's access to Social Security systems. The corrections describe broader access — and potential dissemination — than previously described in court. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

In a remarkable court filing, DOJ also revealed that DOGE employees traded Social Security data on an unapproved third party server — Cloudflare — and may have sent private SSA info to a top DOGE adviser. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

NEWS: The Social Security Administration has referred two DOGE employees for Hatch Act violations after discovering contacts with a political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. Speech to the SCLC March 30, 1967

German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews. In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship. Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

Part of the next reconstruction needs to be eliminating “think tanks” “consultants” and “strategists”. No more making careers out of corrupting the system.

i once read "the rights you think criminals should have are the rights you think everyone should have because the state can criminalize anyone" and it changed how i think about everything

And I fucking hate the caveats especially "NO CRIMINAL RECORD." People who have criminal records ALSO deserve dignity. OK.

I have an op-ed out in the @inquirer.com today about misogyny, motherhood and resistance in the age of Trumpian fascism. Gift link: share.inquirer.com/SDFg79?utm_s...

Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

Performance perversity www.wsj.com/us-news/the-...

GOP: We will come to your home and kidnap you. We will kill you if you object. We will cleanse the streets of you. You are like rodents. We laugh as we squish you beneath our feet. You are not even human. Ours is the Fourth Reich. Democrats: Ignore that, we are only talking about the economy.

this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

"We're protesting fascists even when it's cold as hell; they had about 17 police officers show up—not to protect us from the Nazis 30 feet away but to put out our fires," -ICE protester tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social as police put out their fire in -9 degree wind chill. LIVE NOW⬇️

Jimmy Kimmel offers to let Trump have one of his trophies if he will pull ICE out of Minneapolis.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.

When the racist meme becomes national policy

Richsplaining: When people get on MSM with their makeup, hair, pricey clothes, nails and whatever else… and proceed to richsplain how to starve — with a $3 meal… I’m reminded why we don’t watch MSM. Just clips from wherever others snagged their clips.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

100% agree on this. Claw back ICE funding, put it towards affordable housing. Call your reps and tell them to sign onto the Progressive Caucus plan. reps.fyi

Also please be aware that Cortez Masto wants to ruin this plan by redirecting ICE funding to local law enforcement. Tell your reps NO. Local law enforcement is COLLABORATING WITH ICE. They must get NOTHING. nevadacurrent.com/briefs/after...

BINGO 🎯

The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session: —protect abortion rights —repeal the same-sex marriage ban —allow mid-decade redistricting —greatly expand voting rights restoration. These will all go to 2026 referendums.

“don’t take the bait!!!” THEY’RE PEOPLE BEING TERRORIZED BY ARMED FEDERAL AGENTS, NOT TROUT

What ICE and Homeland Security are doing to Native people isn’t so much revenge for all of our tribes banning her from stepping foot on our reservations in South Dakota as it is a continuation of her long standing reign of terror against Native people.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
