The control of the information….. it’s a play right out of the handbook of North Korea or Russia or Iran or Hungary or Indonesia or Belarus or China or Cuba or Sudan or Myanmar or Mali etc. tons quash it at the source. It shouldn’t be suppressed here & yet, indeed it is. #1stAmendment #IceOutForGood
As I’ve always said: billionaires pay tons of money to make you think your vote doesn’t matter. It’s insidious. Be very wary of anyone who tells you elections don’t matter, or that both sides are the same.
👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.
"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
... And that's why you as Senator are going to ______.
How many times, in how many contexts, in how many ways am I going to have to say that this is what "AI" does— what it fundamentally *is*— before it sinks in? That all Bullshit engines do is statistically correlate training data & inputs via their weights to produce outputs you are likely to accept…
Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
Graphic. Background is photo of Frederick Douglass. Quote reads, “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” Logo of Rep. McClellan is present.
As the case with many enslaved people, Frederick Douglass never knew his birthday. After escaping enslavement, he chose his own birthday: Valentine’s Day.
Today, we honor his life, which reminds us that freedom and equality demand accountability, courage and action. #BHM2026

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Partisan gerrymandering should be constitutionally barred.
SCOTUS says it isn't.
Until a constitutional amendment changes that we can't have unilateral disarmament.
Which means once Republicans kicked off mid-decade redistricting this was the only possible response
Join this event on 2/17 to deliver comments/signs/cards/letters to Wittman’s office.
Let Wittman know that he is supposed to represent the constituents in #VA01, not bend a knee to the President. Let him know what he should do to stand up for our democracy.
Hilarious when you see a conservative Democratic incumbent start cosponsoring a bunch of bills they have publicly and privately opposed because their primary challenger has them spooked
Statement from the Committee for the First Amendment on the arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort.
This is a test. They want us scared and quiet, but we can’t let fear win. Enough is enough.
This is the second physical attack on a Democratic Member of Congress this week. The other was Maxwell Frost.
www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.
Huge detention center planned in Hanover county.
It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason
Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026
Democrats need to realize ICE isn’t just—or even primarily—a mass deportation force.
ICE is also Trump’s most loyal internal security force which will be used to attack regime opponents and try to steal the election. They should defund his authoritarian capabilities.

Three way selfie!

Fantastic time last night at the Chesterfield Dems Blue Year Bash!
With so much awfulness in the world, I appreciate opportunities to celebrate the wins.
I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war
All hail an anti-corruption king!
The work @adambonica.bsky.social did in 2025 on exposing the costs of campaign corruption, the false promises of "moderation," the courts, and so much more has been constantly fresh, clear, and astounding.
A graphic with the words "Happy New Year" and "2026" and firework designs.
Happy New Year!
This past year, Democrats came together and won races big and small across the country. We’re going to keep building on our momentum so we win up and down the ballot in 2026.
I won't lie, this was a tough year for democracy. But we enter 2026 with hope and optimism for the year ahead. I wish you all a happy and healthy new year.
Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.
If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.
By making these choices, you will literally save lives.
San Francisco Chronicle
Dec. 29, 1925: Three girls write anonymously to the Fort Worth, Texas, police chief seeking his permission to wear boy’s trousers so they can better conceal long johns during a bitter cold snap. Chief Henry Lee will only consider the request if the girls identity themselves.
