Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning. This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

I saw this life-sized glass sculpture of a pregnant woman in a hammock while we were in Virginia, and it is living rent-free in my head because of the incredible attention to detail. Her feet, her hair, even the facial expression...how? It's Nang Ga-Red by Oben Abright from 2010. I am in love

Part of what it looks like to save ourselves is for folks to take over our library, park, water and other local boards. Get leftists on there who can make decisions that benefit the working class. We can do that because few people actually pay attention to those levers of power.

"Liberate this city from socialists and burdensome leadership." If that's not regime change, I don't know what to tell you. The inflection point is now.

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

Do you know what else was illegal and had severe life altering consequences? Hiding jews in your attic. Hiding escaped slaves. Sitting in a white only area. Not turning in your neighbours for being unhappy with the regime. People still did it.

RFK Jr. fired every single vaccine expert advising America—all 17 members of ACIP, which has guided safe vaccination for 50+ years. ACIP determines who gets vaccines, when, & why. RFK Jr. claims vaccine expertise itself = corruption, setting the stage to replace scientists with ideological allies.

MAGA was terrified this weekend, because one city out of 19,495 incorporated cities, towns and villages in the United States, decided to pop off. Los Angeles has 0.12% of the total US population and out of that 0.12% around 1% protested. That's how fragile the Trump regime is.
