WATCH: “He’s a narrative breaker… they hear about ‘demoncrats’ & baby-eating & sodomy - then they see an interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social and he’s like TikTok Mr. Rogers.” Tennessee’s own @traecrowde on why Trump & the GOP are afraid of Talarico — (Bonus: in a holler hat🧢🔥)

Folly Beach, 5/6/25.

NYT "... Trump posted a blatantly racist video clip portraying former President Barack Obama and the former first lady Michelle Obama as apes .... "(2/6/26) Clearly Trump is a racist criminal who can no longer hide his mental, emotional, and physical deformities. 25th Amendment NOW

Protest Prep List

Please stay safe. You do not have to go near violent activity. The best help now is to document with cameras and writing down license numbers etc. Keep in contact with your local ICE reporting agency. You can film from a distance. Also, Adopt A Corner is a great way to get involved.

We are Renee

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

Bruce Springsteen just released a new song called "Streets of Minneapolis," specifically mentioning Pretti and Good's names and calling out Miller and Noem's lies. It's a powerful song. youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

I'm at a loss for words. I'm glad someone else has them.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, was a U.S. citizen with no criminal record, an official said. He was a registered nurse who worked in the intensive-care unit at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. nyti.ms/4t3ekJW

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Renee Good's family is accusing federal immigration officers of killing the Minneapolis mother of three as she attempted to follow agents' instructions, and have now hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd's family to press for answers and accountability.

You may feel helpless — a powerless observer of this hurricane of violence. Please do not succumb to helplessness, despair, or fear. You are needed — desperately. Here are some things you can do. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/mobilizing-america

Asked in a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” NYT 1/8/26
