ME(outloud): 25th Amendment? ME (to myself): this EastCoast Nepo Baby MF$#ker has NO idea. This is CHICAGO, city of my heart. All Chicagoland will resist.

And the algea, big strong algea with tears in its eyes thanked me for its new home.

We don’t often get NYT column reprints, but I was very glad to see this from @jamellebouie.net in today’s print StarTribune. Really strong piece warning of the dangers of Dems just trying to go back to “normal” after Trump. It’s among Bouie’s best (which is saying something)

It’s been a really long day. I’m tired. But I had something that I had to get off my chest. Have a listen.👇

First Canada Then Australia Then South Korea Now Hungary Next — America Fascism is failing - democracy is winning

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the DSCC, DNC, DCCC, DGA, and Leaders Schumer and Jeffries, we have filed a lawsuit to block Trump latest illegal and unconstitutional executive order targeting voting. www.democracydocket.com/cases/trump-...

@jakescottmd.bsky.social connects the dots perfectly in this must-read @cidrap.bsky.social op-ed. It's hard to focus on any single issue with this ongoing barrage of insanity and illegality, but what's happening at HHS/CDC needs to stay on everyone's short list of important issues.

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

Things in Minneapolis are still really bad!!! We need to keep the pressure up.

The state of the Union speaks for itself. Americans across our country and across the political spectrum think we're headed in the wrong direction, and I couldn't agree more.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

This is good news for Wisconsin. Let's celebrate the passage of Gail's Law.

Holy shit this cartoon.

BREAKING: huge win in the big case vs ICE in LA. Government's motion to dismiss denied! We @democracydefendersfund.org our honored to represent my hometown the City of LA as intervenors together with other amazing counsel for them & for other parties. It takes a village!

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because: 1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it. 2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet: www.404media.co/with-ring-am...

BREAKING: New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video: "This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

Donald Trump will never know this L❤️VE.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If we're going to post or repost anything about the Obamas today, let's please make it this: ❤️

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Fulton County demanded that the federal government return all of the 2020 election files seized by the FBI during an unprecedented raid on its central election hub. The county's commission chair said he "would use every resource at [their] disposal" to fight for Georgia voters.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles

I’ll be there

The Murder of Alex Pretti: Emergency Community Meeting at 8:30 pm ET on Substack live. open.substack.com/live-stream/...

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

If you’re able, please support this verified GoFundMe for Alex Pretti’s family. And if you’re not in a position to donate, sharing it far and wide matters just as much. It’s at $300K and counting.

WSJ says ICE is lying. Read that again…. The Wall Street Journal is calling out the lies

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

So far in Minnesota They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school. Then Ice kidnapped a five year old. Then ice kidnapped a two year old Then border patrol murdered Va nurse. Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

Today, Minnesota is shutting down in solidarity. It could be a model for what the nation as a whole does in coming months, to repudiate the Trump dictatorship. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/minnesotas-general-strike-and-americas

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control. Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances. I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone. I need to share with you what I saw.

There I fixed it

The arc of the moral universe does not bend on its own. It bends because people organize, resist, and refuse to comply with injustice — again and again, even when the path is hard.

Please SHARE if you agree!

As you already well know by now, it's all lies. Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie. All of it. Every time.

I was shocked at how pissed people were about their electric bills today.

just got out of an uber. the driver was telling me how he has to work 16 hour days, seven days a week, at two different jobs to afford rent. he doesn't have healthcare and he worries about retirement. "i would feel a lot better if we owned greenland," he told me. then he cried.
