Protesting at the White House on Thursday. We also met a large group of students from Minnesota who were so smart and well informed, it makes me optimistic about the future!

Protesters at the โNo War in Iranโ march in DC on Saturday.
A large spray painted โNo Warโ banner in front of the White House, with the Washington Monument also in the background. An Iranian flag, an upside down American flag and signs that say, Trump must go now!โ
Sign that says, โPeace President My Ass!โ with cartoon pic of Trump
Sign that says, โProtect America: No War! Release ALL the Epstein Filesโ with a cartoon drawing of Trump trying to cover up the files and a speech bubble that says, โNothing to See Here!โ
A couple thousand if us protested against war in Iran in front of the White House - after just a few hours of notice. We marched through DC, for almost two miles, to the State Department and protested there, too.

ICE murdered another 23 year old in 2025.
And successfully kept that quiet for almost a year.
Make America safe: Abolish ICE.
Claremore, Oklahoma, home of Will Rogers:
Do not let Brett Kavanaugh's increasingly reactionary politics distract you from the simpler fact that Brett Kavanaugh is a dullard and a shitty writer whose colleagues all (albeit for different reasons) very obviously have nothing but contempt for him

one of those things you need to watch if for no other reason than the trump administration doesn't want you to:
Itโs the 1 anniversary of #TeslaTakedown and we are dancing against fascism, authoritarianism and Musk! Washington, DC is shaking it! @teslatakedown.com @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social
Yes! This is the first show I thought of when I read the news. He was fantastic in it and the entire show was hilarious.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Rep. Walkinshaw on Trump: โHe could rule out clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell, the monster. He could rule out a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, the monster. The question for all of us today is: Why hasn't he done that, and why won't he do that?โ
So upsetting what heโs done to my cityโs paper!
The regular WH protest crew in front of the fenced off White House
Four protesters with signs on tall sticks protest against ICE and the killing of Renee Good & Alex Pretti
In addition to our usual White House protest crew, we were joined by four fantastic protesters from Chestertown, MD on Tuesday!
ICE is running a โconveyor beltโ of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.
Three protesters standing on the snowy/ icy ground in front of the tall black fence that now encircles the White House. The Washington Monument can be seen in the distance. One protester has a sign that says, โICE GOONS KILLโ. The second protesterโs sign says, โPlease do not go gently/ Rage against the dying of our RIGHTSโ. The third protesterโs sign says, โImmigrants Pay Taxes/ Billionaires Wonโtโ / Deport Billionairesโ. In the middle is a cartoon picture of Trump hiding green money bags. His speech bubble says, โMine!โ.
Monday protesting at the fenced off White House
Ha! This is brilliant!

The Sat. Tesla Takedown dance party in Georgetown (DC) is still going strong after almost a year. After, I tend to walk to the White House & protest some more. Grateful to the new protesters who joined us yesterday at the WH, including a woman visiting from Texas!
