NOT HARD to make* the argument & win: "Yes, it's true. Someone took your job, your healthcare, your ability to take kids to Disney. If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money. And if they can convince you it was anyone else, they will keep screwing you."

Reactionary centrist advice to Democrats boils down to one thing: avoid making the argument, about anything. Don't defend what was known as "the a-word" (abortion), promise to also "get tough on crime" aka don't speak out on injustice, hop on board xenophobic policies & rhetoric (Laken Riley).

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.

Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:

Black history is American history.
When educators are supported in teaching it with honesty and care, students gain a deeper understanding of our country, our culture, and the ongoing fight for dignity and freedom. As a union, we believe every educator should have the right to teach the full story.

John Roberts Does Not Want You Finding Out How the Supreme Court Actually Works The six-justice conservative supermajority is taking aggressive steps to ensure that the public remains in the dark about how the Supreme Court functions.

John Roberts is out here making Supreme Court clerks and employees sign nondisclosure agreements

Roberts surely knows this raises the question 'WTF is behind the NDA?'

To do so anyway suggests he decided even public speculation is preferable to public knowledge

This sucks because:

A) the people resigning right now clearly have exceptional moral character and would rather leave what is likely their dream jobs than follow illegal orders from political thugs and losers serving Trump, and

B) they will almost certainly be replaced by unqualified bootlickers

More than 1,000 alleged rights abuses in immigration detention, Ossoff finds The Georgia Democrat’s office has produced a report that describes “an undeniable pattern of human rights abuses in immigration detention.”

📍 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋:

A report from Sen. @ossoff.senate.gov has uncovered over 1,000 credible reports of abuses in ICE and broader immigration detention facilities — including medical neglect, denial of food and water, mistreatment of children and pregnant women, and physical/sexual abuse. #AbuseOfPowerWatch

If you have not yet read @adamserwer.bsky.social on Minnesotans' heroics, you are going to feel way better when you do. He went there. He talked to the people doing the work. Then he thought about it and produced something rare. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... [gift link]

And like the absolute most basic rule of negotiation - don't walk in with (let alone send 'round talking points about) your closing offer - do not apply.

Our House Dems voted against DHS funding, our Senators pledged to vote no. Call & thank them, & tell the Senators to hold firm!

These are neighborhood watches. Not protests, not riots, but neighborhood watches. People taking care of neighbors. Watching for danger on their own streets. Keeping their children safe from ICE kidnappers.

The new neighborhood watch.

when the driving range guys are talking about masked agents of the state you’ve probably made a strategic error if you’re the state

Emergency protest in response to ICE killing ANOTHER community member in Minneapolis. Sunday, January 25, 12:00 pm, Colorado State Capitol

Also call your US Senators: (202) 224-3121. No funding for DHS. No funding for ICE.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you”

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti.

The guns-without-laws faction has always been thus.

They never meant the Ground, or the Country, to be for all of us.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

It’s insane how out of touch this administration is.

Folks can’t afford to buy one damn home, let alone 12.

Here’s an idea—let’s stop the foreign adventurism and end tax breaks for billionaires.
