Daily reminder WHY this is happening 👇

Book 1 of one of my favorite series is on sale. The audiobooks are fantastic as well along with the spinoff series Gargoyle Queen.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

Pedophile Protector AND Putin Puppet #MultiTasking

Really enjoyed the first two episodes of Paramount’s Starfleet Academy. Based on the cover photo I was sort of expecting more of a Melrose Place meets Star Trek vibe but I was pleasantly surprised and quite amused. Looking forward to more episodes! link.us.paramountplus.com/40Kc1fvbZZb

Urgent update: Migrant choked to death by ICE agents in ICE custody, his death will be ruled a homicide. His last words: “I can’t breathe.” ICE tear gasses a 6-month-old baby. Agents arrest workers hours after dining at Mexican restaurant. The reality of America. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

ICE and Border Patrol agents must be reined in. Here is one thing we can do right now. Please read and share. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/americas-gestapo

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

Trump keeps yelling “insurrection” in Minnesota like he forgot January 6 — the one he actually incited. Terrorizing communities and calling in troops isn’t law and order. It’s authoritarianism.

Do I like calling my representatives? No. Do I think I do it well? No. Do I do it anyway? Absofuckinglutely, I do. www.5calls.org

Let’s have one anyway and see what happens.

WATCH: “The Trump administration is now threatening to put down the people of Minneapolis with military force as if they were rebels against the United States government,” says Chris Hayes. Renowned civil rights expert Sherrilyn Ifill joins to discuss.

The administration needs to be asked directly how many J6ers, and anyone convicted of seditious conspiracy, are now ICE agents with a badge and a gun.

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis. I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets. But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace. Don’t give him what he wants.

ICE is out of control. Congress cannot keep bankrolling ICE's abuses.

🚨ALARM: Former Biden White House Deputy Press Secretary Chris Meagher SLAMS the unprecedented, dangerous raid on a Washington Post reporter and directly calls on Jeff Bezos to speak out. This is authoritarian shit:

WTF! The Epstein files are not in the headlines for two minutes, and this creep feels entitled to put his hands on a young girl in the Oval Office as millions of Americans are watching? Gross.

🚨HOLY COW: Rep. John Garamendi OBLITERATES Trump’s Greenland threat: “The man is crazy. He has a mental problem. He really does… I am always impressed by his ignorance.” Trump’s too stupid to understand alliances or adversaries. He’s an IDIOT playing Monopoly with the world.

🚨ALARM: Karoline Leavitt lays groundwork for Trump invoking the INSURRECTION ACT ahead of the midterms. “The Insurrection Act is a tool at the president’s disposal. Democrats are deranged in their hatred for President Trump.” This is the exact scenario people warned about.

Urgent update: Trump suggests cancelling upcoming elections. I spoke with Governor JB Pritzker who says to take his threats seriously. Meanwhile, Republicans say Trump will be impeached if he invades Greenland all while European troops have landed on the island. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Velazquez: The American people are upset. They did not sign on for this. The most fundamental principle for the American people is fairness and humane policies, not beating the shit out of people, especially vulnerable women and children.

14 January 1942 | German Sinti girl Hildegard Widic was born in Elberfeld. In #Zigeunerlager (Gypsy camp) in #Auschwitz II-Birkenau from 9 March 1943. No. Z-1925 She perished in the camp on April 12, 1943.

Dear Black people, they’re coming for us too.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

"For a while, #Greenland has been a warning sign to the rest of the world as to what to expect with the climate crisis, and unfortunately Greenland is now becoming a warning sign for what is happening in the world order."

BREAKING: Trump threatens insurrection act for Minnesota as DOJ is already calling it an ‘insurrection.’ ICE AI tools fail to vet applicants who started working without any training. Articles of impeachment filed for Kristi Noem. Republicans rebuke Trump on Greenland.

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

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities. That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment. We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us. WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

We must ban members of Congress from buying, owning and selling stocks. But House Republicans' new bill fails to do that — lawmakers can continue to own and sell stocks. It’s absurd and an insult to people’s intelligence. Stop playing games. Ban congressional stock trading.

Trump admits that this is nothing but political retribution. Minnesota voted against him three times and now he’s punishing us – putting lives at risk and wasting enormous resources in the process.

I just held a town hall in Collin County — which Trump won by double digits. 2,000 people showed up. There is something happening in Texas.

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst. Every dictator in history has lied. Donald Trump is no different.

Today is day 25 of the Trump Justice Department refusing to release the full Epstein files, violating the law in the process. All of the files need to be released immediately so that all of the survivors can get justice and accountability.

Sure seems like an awful lot of folks in the "Don't Tread on Me/Second Amendment" crowd are doing a lot of advocating for people to just let the government tread on them.

Nikki Glaser calls out CBS News at the Golden Globes while it’s being broadcast on CBS. “And the award for Most Editing goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News, America’s newest place to see B.S. News.”

I highly, highly recommend checking these out, whether or not you're a crafter. Maybe the crafters in your life could use some, or the scene kiddies about to head for their next rave, or really, y'know, anyone. I may fill a candy dish. They're fucking AWESOME. www.bassheadbeads.com/bead-shop/p/...

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
