Laura Ingalls Wilder was one of my earliest mentors ~ through her books. She supported family that built its own & believed in community that supported those who believed in shared values. She is a standard for community as it truly exists. Support her community values!

WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED. Thank you, @donlemonofficial.bsky.social, for your courage in the face of censorship, and for joining us in NYC as our special opening guest. HRC is proud to stand with you, and will always defend a free press.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

What?

I actually know a 3-legged dog, “Maddie”, who is beautiful & friendly & so lovely to all she meets. Congratulations to her present parents, Paige & Neill, for loving her in all the ways she needs!

There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. -Leonard Cohen

Ager: I had a neighbor who didn’t go to the doctor because he had a stomach ache and thought he’d be all right. Four months later he died. People are more afraid of the costs than getting the care they need. This is happening all across the country, and we can do better.

He will have to bomb someone to take the focus away from the files. He is a disgusting pedophile. Worse than we thought.

February is a time to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought, and continue to fight, against injustice to achieve equal rights. May we reflect on our nation’s past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.

Minneapolis Alex Pretti memorial is packed with citizens who came to pay him respect and demand the end of ICE deployment.

This video warrants reposting again & again. ICE is not slowing down in MN. They’re just changing tactics that you must be aware of. Please, please listen and pass this on. #StandTogether #Pinks #ProudBlue #OneV1

Don Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."

The anthem we need

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

How to Stop the Fascism open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong. The goal of #NonviolentCivilResistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself. We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.

NM: Dem Sens & House Reps are putting together a bill to ban all “law enforcement” officers from wearing masks. Gov. MLG has not YET supported this bill. She needs to support this bill to get it passed. Write her to demand she support this bill. www.governor.state.nm.us/contact-the-...

RIP Alex Pretti.

This.

It’s a toss-up as to what is worse: trump’s behavior OR congress’s inaction to STOP this behavior. Congress: get him out ~ NOW!

It's King Day! open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Our Constitution, common laws, & history support multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-religious, integrated, respectful, peaceful, & law-abiding communities here in the U.S. We may not have always been what we aspired to be ~ but we cannot stop our aspirations. Remember MLK. Remember hope.

I have been feeling a lot of anger lately due to our political climate. Dolly made this video today for her 80th birthday to benefit pediatric cancer. We can’t lose hope. youtu.be/McaD2PG8jOE

The New Dropkick Murphys' Anti-ICE Song Is Everything As the lyrics say, “Too scared to join the military, too dumb to be a cop.” crooksandliars.com/2026/01/new-...

ICE brutalizing and abducting yet more peaceful protestors at the Whipple Federal Building. #FuckICE #FucktRump #Pinks #ProudBlue #Resist

I made this video so we can talk about what ICE is actually doing in our cities. I have the details and you need to hear them. Please share this. ICE isn't targeting criminals or even people here illegally. They are just making up the law - every day. Here's what's going on.

Our Time of Resistance open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

@repyassansari.bsky.social is cosponsoring Articles of Impeachment for Kristi Noem & introducing legislation to defund ICE. We talk fighting back against the Trump authoritarian regime and the bipartisan resolution she just put forth to support the people of Iran. youtu.be/mUJTVGjR7b4?...

Ilhan Omar “Renee Nicole Good should be alive. We will not stop fighting until we achieve real justice & accountability — that must begin with impeaching Kristi Noem & ensuring no federal agent can act as a judge, jury, & executioner in our streets”

Gov. Walz: As a citizen of New Mexico, I stand with you & with the people of Minnesota. Our time for this unconscionable occupation by trump’s ICE army is sure to arrive here (it has been subtle so far) & the example you & your people provide will be a beacon all in our travails ahead. Thank you!

About the only things uplifting in this cruel world now are the venerable monks and their beloved canine, Aloka. 😭 #WalkForPeace 💙
