Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Not a peep on Martin Luther King, JR. day made this past week. The only communication I saw pushed was yesterday, “Focus on the fundamentals: FY26 agency priorities.” For awareness, Jan. 19th is still listed as a fee free day for Federal Holiday memorializing King: www.fs.usda.gov/visit/passes...

I wonder if the Childless Cat Ladies are organizing, too? 🤔

Brrrrrr Despite otherwise Blueskies, ICY conditions have been spotted. Fun Fact: before modern refrigerators were common, ICE was delivered to homes in Blocks. Today, Block deliveries are as easy as pushing a button. Try it out!

“Have you not learned?” This protest sign says it all:

Crowds of protesters across the U.S. mobilized against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown on Saturday, three days after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. trib.al/RXQlxWj

Pure sunshine. 😢💔☀️

Take care of yourselves. Gather with people who love you. Join peaceful protests. Be kind. Smile at the checker at the grocery store. Take a walk in nature. Spend time with a pet. Call your Congressional reps to demand they take action. Let the sun warm your face from time to time. Pace yourself. 🩷

End ICE for Good.

Yes. And so we persist. Next action: National Walkout January 20. 2pm local time. We need everyone out in the streets.

Five years ago.

Indeed. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social We call on you to take bold action. We understand you are not majority leaders, and therefore can’t take up the gavel. Nevertheless, get creative, figure out how to push back, and lead like your country depends on you - because it DOES!

This wins the Internet on this first day of 2026

Happy New Year! Let’s get to work

Me, too. There’s everything right with this. #DEI

Yessssss!!!!!! 🎉

Take another way.... the EU is a formidable foe and ally to Ukraine which is an obstacle in achieving Russia's goal of overtaking Ukraine.

We do, indeed!

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

9. You can contact your reps today to urge them to vote against the anti-transgender provisions here. At least one Democrat has expressed uncertainty on how she will vote, Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), and several other Democrats have voted for anti-trans provisions this year.

Ahmed Al Ahmed is a true hero. I wasn’t able to read the smh.com article but here is a link to a CNN article on the subject: www.cnn.com/2025/12/15/a...

Liam Neeson has not narrated any anti-vaccine or pro-Robert F. Kennedy Jr. documentary. The rumor is misinformation. The actual film often linked to this claim is Shot in the Arm (2023), directed by Scott Hamilton Kennedy and executive produced by Neil deGrasse Tyson. Neeson has no involvement.

Our portal at oag.ca.gov/reportmisconduct will allow Californians to upload photos, videos, and information about interactions with federal agents that may be unlawful.

I hated it so much when Trump would whine about being persecuted by a “Witch Hunt,” for many reasons - not the least of which was that the misogynistic old White guy had no business obliquely referring to himself as a witch. But here, that term might well apply. Glad the grand jury failed to indict.

I love how he sprinkles all these little flourishes of petty cruelty in, every single day, amidst all the major transgressions. He's like the world's worst advent calendar.

This is horrid. We have an obligation to speak out.

I cannot love this enough 🥰

It happened! The @nytimes.com profiled Paulina! The Writer Who Dared Criticize Silicon Valley Paulina Borsook’s “Cyberselfish,” which offered dire predictions about the tech world’s love for libertarianism, is finding fans. It only took 25 years. Gift Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/t...

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Brilliant article.

It's time to concentrate your power/NUMBERS in DC. It's time to protest where THEY are. It's time to focus on a clear demand: •Impeach •Convict •REMOVE. If you can't make it all 3 days, be there & partake in the main rally Saturday the 22nd; help make it HUGE. Info/donate👉 www.removetheregime.com

Please share!

The headline should read, "Trump suing to deny food assistance, for which the funds are ALREADY THERE". That's some Jesus-level effing compassion, CHRISTIANS.

Perhaps the NYT should run some articles about how the Republicans need to listen to the concerns of ordinary Democratic voters.

Many memorable lines from #Mamdani ‘s acceptance speech. This was one of my favorites.

Have always loved this … Fitting.

Wooohoooo! I really really REALLY 🩷 New York! 🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations to Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani!!! Great job New York!!!

This. Exactly.

Sounds pretty good to me!

Mr Jeffries, I don't think you get to decide the future of our party. You insult so many of us who believe government really can be "of, for and by the people" Zohran Mamdani gets it.

Whoever had "People Magazine ends up being the beacon of honest headlines" on their bingo card might as well claim the prize money.

Reports of ICE ads on #Spotify were noted in early October. People began calling for boycotts immediately. Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses. And we can do ever BETTER. 👏👏👏 #BoycottSpotify

Indeed!

A must-see. Please watch and re-share. #WhatsTheDeal @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com theofficialurban.substack.com/p/whats-the-...
