The Trump regime isn't slowing down with its authoritarian violence and power grabs. I wrote a few thoughts about how Minnesotans went head-to-head with the regime while also engaging the whole country to act in solidarity with them. www.powerswitchaction.org/updates/what...

The same way you don't want people bombing you and your loved ones is the same exact thing that other people feel where they live.

Clear and right on statement from Representative Ansari.

🎯🎯🎯 TOMORROW - SATURDAY 1/31 🎯🎯🎯 Join nonviolent actions at Target stores across the country to demand that corporation stand with Minnesotans! Target is a Minnesota company, and it’s time for it to pick a side. Find an action near you: bit.ly/target131

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

Mom-and-pop businesses in MN are showing more backbone against tyranny than all of the Big Tech oligarchs combined 💪 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

My take on the Jan 23 action in Minneapolis is that I don’t really care whether it’s a “true” general strike (we could argue about that all day). What DOES matter is that it’s a bold and necessary escalation, and local labor leaders are publicly encouraging workers to join in anti-ICE resistance

New research from @ilsr.bsky.social uncovers billions of $$$ that Amazon is capturing in govt contracts all across the country. Next month, experts and organizers will unpack what this means and how we fight back: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... @athenaforall.bsky.social @laurenrants.bsky.social

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies. Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market. This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

Tucson residents fought back against Amazon’s secretive plans to build a data center in the desert — and won. But now, in a blatant attempt to override the City Council and the will of the people, Amazon and the project’s developer is pushing ahead anyway.

When we build deep, genuine connections with voters at their doors, we can build the power we need to truly transform our communities and the systems that are holding us down.

Crassly dipping my toe onto this platform with self-promotion: My book, Chains of Command: The Rise and Cruel Reign of the Franchise Economy now has a beautiful cover, and a release date: April 20th. So you'll have something to enjoy with your 4/20 Taco Bell order! bookshop.org/p/books/chai...

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

US border patrol is asking companies to submit plans to turn standard 4x4 trucks into AI-powered watchtowers—combining radar, cameras, and autonomous tracking to extend surveillance on demand.

I used to focus on left versus right. Now I’m much more worried about the money at the top. But while it might seem strange to say it, I think this is a hopeful way of looking at the world that opens the door to coalitions that seemed impossible before. My first for the @newrepublic.com:

It is not “big tent” to bring in one group of people by kicking out another group of people.

Straight up nazi sh*t

I want to be clear: this is what American prisons are like. I spent years posting about the humanitarian crisis in U.S. prisons. The criminal legal system consigns Americans who are incarcerated to live like this FOR YEARS. DECADES.

"Democrats are freaked out because their nominee for mayor in New York City wants to run a pilot program with five municipal-owned grocery stores. Meanwhile, last week the U.S. government became the largest shareholder in the mining company MP Materials."

If you think a group of workere should strike (or not strike) it’s very simple. 1. Get a job doing that work 2. Organize your workplace 3. Convince your coworkers to do that thing 4. Do it your self (together) Until you do all that, don’t tell other workers they should strike

Oh, but she was talking LOUD racist shit the other day.

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

We really hope she'll use this chance to call for Amazon to cut its contracts with ICE and the Israeli military. www.essence.com/entertainmen...

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Tariffs & ICE raids are connected insofar as they are attempts to blame economic & social conditions entirely on the actions of foreigners while attempting to paint domestic enemies as a traitorous fifth column working with the foreigners to undermine the country

Doechii♥️

Before you criticize protestors take a beat and consider what they are protesting…they are protesting, the violent vicious ethnic cleansing of our cities and communities. Still think they are unreasonable or out of control? The regime created this crisis, period

The professional agitators are ICE.

No sound more grating than the voice of a talking head criticizing protesters with “this is a distraction.” The regime escalated all of this not the people.

Back to the federal building, the protestors have exploded in numbers and are approaching the building again This is WAY BIGGER than any previous protest. The national guard is instigating far LARGER of a response and the feds are LOSING.

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Why are corporations and billionaires like Amazon and Bezos throwing their weight behind the Trump regime? The recent domestic spending bill—full of tax giveaways—gives us an answer. @laurenrants.bsky.social and @sarahanderson.bsky.social write in @thenation.com 👇 www.thenation.com/article/econ...

This!!!! “You Bring Them To Your Side By Actually Doing Politics.” Whole thread is worth your time.

In the midst of our defensive work we also have to fight for the cities we want and deserve. Tenant controlled, Green, Permanently Affordable Housing has passed in Chicago.

📢Happening NOW! Hundreds of Newarkers pouring into the protest zone outside the DHS detention facility in Newark demanding #FreeMayorBaraka!

This is outrageous. ICE just arrested Mayor Ras Baraka of Newark, NJ outside a private prison corporation’s $1 billion detention facility that the City says is violating local laws. The Mayor was with Congress members investigating the facility. www.nbcnewyork.com/new-jersey/n...

Free Mayor Baraka!!

⚡️BIG NEWS: Green Social Housing just passed in Chicago! This is a *huge* win that residents and organizers with IL Green New Deal and @grassrootschi.bsky.social have been working towards for years: housing that's permanently affordable, environmentally sustainable, mixed-income AND tenant governed!
