We are deeply saddened at the passing of Trish Crossin AM, aged 70. A former Labor Senator for the Northern Territory, Trish was a passionate advocate and a strong voice for Territorians.

We are none of us free until all are free! "Sirens in the night. People ask why we stand together. We won't pass it by. We won't be silent while our friends are gunned down. Say it loud!" Some of these people remember our last fight against Fascism.

ALEX PRETTI’S PARENTS: “He was a VA nurse who cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening with ICE... kidnapping children, grabbing people off the street — he knew it was wrong. He loved this country." (H/T @katiecouric.bsky.social )

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

"'What did we learn from the Holocaust? We have to act and we have to resist,' Tracht said, running out of breath as the car turned the corner. 'If I’m not going to act and resist now, then I shouldn’t call myself a rabbi and I can’t be a proud Jew.'" religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

How are they going to spin this video. It's not possible. This man had a good soul and his last act was to help people like he did everyday‼️

I know we’re all tired 🥱 But let’s see how many reposts we can get across this app Let’s go ‼️

Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old democratic socialist whose campaign was powered by youthful energy, a surge of new voters, and a promise of unconventional change, completed his yearlong journey with a decisive victory — to be elected the 111th mayor of NYC and the first Muslim to hold the office.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social good luck Mr Mamdani, from the NT Australia..

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

Take 2 minutes & listen to @amymcgrath.bsky.social deliver the truth about Pete Hegseth lies about military standards.

Disney/ABC just caved & pulled Jimmy Kimmel for political reasons. Nexstar — which owns The CW + 200+ local ABC, NBC, CBS & FOX stations — is part of the same machine. 💥 Boycott Disney. Boycott Nexstar. Boycott their advertisers. Hit them where it hurts: the $$$.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

This comment on the NYT site from a reader who lives in Hungary is a portent for America.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.
