We won’t defeat fascism with a politics-as-usual approach. That’s why we’re gearing up for a massive primary program to put forward a new wave of candidates who can win at the ballot box and in the battle to defend democracy: indivisible2026.org/?utm_source=bluesky

The reason the D establishment doesn’t want to disclose its 2024 autopsy is because the autopsy attributes the cause of death to corporatism and the donor class. Establishment Dems want that campaign cash, and what their voters want is not relevant to them.

NEW from me — I broke down Trump's claim on local right wing radio that the US carried out a Christmas Eve land strike in Venezuela, how he doubled down Monday, the subsequent media reports with no substance, the potential role of social media rumors about an actual fire, and how we need the truth:

Rebuilding Gaza for US investors rather than the people who actually live there is an obscene approach, so of course Trump's inner circle are pitching it. www.timesofisrael.com/us-said-to-p...

ICYMI: With lots of staffers on vacation last week, I volunteered to write a brief on the Community Police Review Board making quorum after months of inaction ... and ended up with this 2,000-word piece on what can only be described as a staggering fail (or re-fail) by the Albany Common Council.

"'I have my ID!' Mubashir shouted repeatedly, as heard on the video. The agents do not respond." www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

"Trump will live forever, but only as a cautionary tale, one we tell successive generations to demonstrate that sustaining a democracy against the corrupt and the malevolent requires vigilance and determination." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

At the end of a strange year, the North Country Republican announced that she would end her run for governor and tenure in Congress.

One of the most successful propaganda campaigns of our time is the right-wing claim that liberals dominate the media. The right has pushed this myth for decades on Fox and other outlets. You know about it because RIGHT-WING MEDIA HAVE A HUGE MEGAPHONE. My thread. 1/10 🧵

Friends — Here's one "big idea" for how we can start to fix the system in 2026. Let me know your thoughts. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

Capping off our series on what Zohran Mamdani can accomplish in his first 100 days, here's a grab bag of actionable policy ideas ranging from immigration and homelessness to culture, schools, parks and reproductive justice.

Not only are people showing up to defend their neighbors and our democracy, they’re doing so in historic numbers. The amount of our local groups has doubled and the overall size of our movement has quadrupled!

People ask, “If the economy is growing, why doesn’t it feel like it?” Because our individual economic realities are driven less by the national average and more by the policy choices—tariffs, taxes, and cuts—that decide who actually gets the gains from growth.

The @nycplanning.bsky.social Manhattan Plan is here with a strategy to build 100K homes across the borough. The report makes clear, we must build homes near transit hubs. Today, we can reopen the Penn Station GPP, controlled by the Governor, to build affordable homes. Let’s get this done!

Police reform is one of the most fraught initiatives Zohran Mamdani could undertake as mayor. What could he do to meaningfully change the NYPD without triggering a politically costly firestorm? Quite a bit!

If you care about fighting against the regime's anti-immigrant agenda, you need to know about this plan. Sources & more info below.

This definitive tale of what has been happening in Chicagoland is well worth your time.

This is the world Justice Kavanaugh sanctioned in his foolish & unnecessary concurring opinion to the Court’s order in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo. His hopes of cleaning up that blunder with a plaintive footnote in last week’s concurring opinion in Trump v. Illinois, demonstrates his staggering naïveté.

In just the past two months, DHS has awarded more than $4.8 billion in border contracts to two companies, entirely outside the normal competitive bidding process.

Everybody is looking forward to the next No Kings Day in the spring. The official date will be announced once we land this with the full No Kings coalition, but trust us that it’s coming. And we can’t wait, either. ❌👑

Remember: There's always strength in a union. Solidarity.

Update. The ICE supervisor, who is 47, was arrested for domestic violence against his non-citizen partner who he started a relationship when she was 18 and he was 40. www.fox19.com/2025/12/22/i...

Merry Christmas and happy holidays. If you’re so inclined to show up in south Florida w your empathy and solidarity come out and join this weekly vigil www.mobilize.us/theworkersci...?

Every Sunday, protesters from Florida and beyond go to the notorious immigration jail and advocate for its closure

"What compelled her to sing in Spanish that day, she explained, was the simple act of looking out into the crowd and seeing people who, she felt, needed solidarity."

The billionaires have allegedly been leaving NYC in droves for 20 years. They won’t actually go, unfortunately.

ICE agents spent Christmas Eve arresting a man in a Walmart parking lot—even taking his already purchased groceries for themselves. A bystander asked ICE if she could take down the phone number of his wife to let her know her husband had been detained. The ICE agents refused. trib.al/FwqJZki

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

"My life's work has been about ensuring that money and power cannot trample the rights and dignity of working people," said the incoming DCWP commissioner, Sam Levine.

Trump, a silver spoon nepo baby that received a “small loan of a million dollars” from his dad to start his business, has publicly expressed wonder at the word “groceries” for more than a year now. “Who uses the word?” Trump told Meet the Press with a completely straight face. trib.al/vWdeQXQ

The sheer disregard shown by this regime for the humanity of trans kids and their families is breathtakingly cruel. The Dr. Oz-run Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has proposed two rules that would severely restrict access to gender affirming care for young Americans.

When I launched my campaign, I said I wanted to do politics differently… and we’re actually doing it. Thank you to Jessica Washington and @theintercept.com for covering the most exciting and rewarding part of this campaign: theintercept.com/2025/12/26/k...

Other states have taken action to protect court houses, and MA should too. #mapoli www.wbur.org/news/2025/12...

ICE has defended the care detained immigrants receive in custody, but a 2024 ACLU investigation concluded 52 deaths between 2017 and 2021 were preventable or possibly preventable had ICE provided clinically appropriate medical care.

In thinking about what you can do this year, keep this in mind: showing up at protests has real impact - - www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Thirty-four inspector general letters detail DMV snooping, Sing Sing heat failures and other New York agency misconduct amid renewed oversight.

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

Birthright citizenship has been part of our constitution for over 150 years. The Trump administration wants to change that. Here are the facts: bit.ly/44Tm6Mn

Merry Christmas. Trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor. Pass it on to a conservative family member near you.

"[Erik Prince] said he was the one to first suggest using prisons in El Salvador to detain migrants arrested by U.S. immigration authorities." After a visit to CECOT last year, he pitched the idea of designating parts of the prison as U.S. sovereign territory, WSJ reported in August.

DC does not want the National Guard here. They need to go home!

The Trump administration is pushing to expand grazing on public lands while reducing its already low cost, under the false premise that it will fill America’s coffers. Wealthy ranchers are profiting — at the expense of taxpayers. With @highcountrynews.org

Trump, after bombing Nigeria on Christmas: “MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists [sic].” These are the words of an evil man whom Christ does not know.

An excellent read by @mariamsilva.bsky.social on the horrific plight of Afghan members of New York communities, and the state of immigration enforcement locally and statewide.

The president’s own chief of staff was reportedly stunned by his pardon of a former Honduran president.

A grandmother will spend Christmas with her family after ICE held her for nearly five months. She’s had a green card for 30+ years and lived in the U.S. since childhood. Her detention ended only after public and congressional pressure. www.star-telegram.com/news/nation-...

The director of Minnesota’s Driver and Vehicle Services is warning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that they’re violating state law and could be cited if they switch out or remove license plates on their unmarked vehicles. (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

🌲🕊 What gives you hope? We'll start: the sound of whistles and the sight of crowds turning out to protect their neighbors. ❌️🧊

Leadership isn't a gala with billionaires at Mar-a-Lago; it’s a surprise visit to a children’s hospital. Remember which one actually served the people.
