Last week, we celebrated Eastern European heritage at Gracie Mansion, because the story of New York City cannot be told without the story of our Eastern European neighbors.

If she wins a full term in November, Fire Thunder would join a growing number of Indigenous women successfully seeking higher office across the country. In Montana, the success of these candidates is a result of decades of women-led organizing on the ground.

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

Yesterday, Brazil showed the world that the will of the people is stronger than the authoritarians who try to suppress it. Congratulations President Lula and congratulations Brazil.

A week from tomorrow is the beginning of the END of the Orange Atrocity! 🍊 💩 #voteVoteVOTE

“At a moment when many doubted Lula could reverse the result, a WhatsApp channel called Lula's Army emerged, and rapidly grew to 10.8 million followers. Led by Congressman André Janones, the operation encouraged supporters to share videos, promote hashtags and recruit new voters.” 1/

Please consider volunteering or donating to this race in OC, California. It'd be so crazy to not put the effort in when she's only 2 pts away from getting on the ballot in polling. Most voters don't realize why it's super important to coalesce behind the top Democrat in polling. Please Volunteer!

CA folks: Please DO NOT sign petitions in front of grocery stores, in parks, etc. The billionaires are circulating three petitions to offset the Billionaire Tax vote in November. All look like they have our best interests at heart. NO!! Gifted link. www.mercurynews.com/2026/03/15/b...

We’re not talking enough about what’s happening in Vermont. There’s no excuse for this brutality. None. Law enforcement has a right to do their job, but their job is to de-escalate, not assault people. Video credit: Itisu Siru

I wish blue state governors would band together and tell the feds that they will not give over any federal taxes until ICE is abolished and the rule of law is reinstated. See how well red states function without the funds from blue states.

Seven Democrats voted for the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill that included funding for ICE: Reps. Jared Golden, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, Vicente Gonzalez, Tom Suozzi, and Laura Gillen. www.axios.com/2026/01/22/i...

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Maine alert: ICE is expanding its presence. Know the signs, alert neighbors, document safely, and stay nonviolent—but don’t stay silent. Community awareness saves lives. Save this graphic. Share widely. Credit: Indivisible Maine

Warning: Reports indicate immigration checkpoints along major interstates in Oklahoma, with Interstate 40 most impacted.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Get rid of Jeffries too! Any centrist Dem is now collaborating with the fascists.

Repost so he doesn’t get away with this

@colorado.gov DO NOT GIVE CLEMENCY TO TINA PETERS! THAT IS BENDING THE KNEE. You should be working with other governors to band together and refuse to pay federal taxes until ICE is abolished

@repdangoldman.bsky.social hopefully your Zionist positions will cost you your seat.

@bradlander.bsky.social I hope you win against Dan Goldman who has demonstrated his Zionist leanings multiple times.

‼️Tennessee CD-07! ‼️Be sure to vote on 12/2! A flier was mailed out saying Election Day is 12/3, to try to stop you from voting on time! Don’t be fooled by this attempt to cheat & steal your voice & vote! ‼️ELECTION DAY IS DECEMBER 2nd! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! Elect Aftyn Behn! #ResistanceUnited #Pinks

Let this sink in: in a Tennessee district that Trump won by 22 points in 2024, Aftyn Behn, the Democratic candidate, has closed that gap by *20* points. Only 2 points separate her and her opponent. Republicans & Trump are running scared. All eyes on Tennessee.

Democrats are headed for a tremendous cycle next year regardless, but if we can win this one in TN-07 on 12/2, it will be an earthquake.

VERY POWEFUL #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

@schumer.senate.gov we are so sick and tired of being betrayed by the Democratic Party. You always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. You should immediately step down as minority leader and every one of you “moderate Democrats” (Republican light) WILL be primaried.

@schumer.senate.gov DO NOT CAVE!!! Republicans lie when they open their mouths. If you believe they will honor ANY deal, you should step down as minority leader.

🚨 TEXAS ‼️ Dems — Important special elections happening! DO NOT, I REPEAT— DO NOT LET REPUBLICANS FLIP IT! GOTV! #TX18

The holiday season is coming. Many of you take your families down to Florida for Disney theme parks and beaches. Florida doesn't deserve you or your money. MAGA has destroyed this state. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlueforOurFuture

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I’d like to know too. Has all this insane bullshit made anyone’s life better? Answer: NO - HELL NO. #Pinks #WorstPresidentEver #25thAmendmentNow

Reminder: The guy demanding credit for a ceasefire in Gaza is the same guy instigating a civil war here at home.

🛑 Jack Ciattarelli didn’t flinch when democracy was under attack Jan 6. He didn’t condemn the violence nor the lies that fueled it. Instead, he stood by Trump, echoed his rhetoric & refused to hold him accountable. Ciattarelli doubled down. That’s dangerous, not principled #VoteNJ for Mikie Sherrill

Repubs control the House, Senate, and White House and are now *demanding* help from DEMS to approve more health care cuts. These people have lost their mind! They are saying they will shut the government down if they don’t get help. WELL, NO DEAL! THEIR SHUT DOWN! NO MORE CUTS!

Trump act of ordering 8 military jets to perform a low-pass flyover during the Epstein victims' press conference is a DARVO surrogate. It's a form of gaslighting. It's an act of intimidation. It's an admission of guilt.
