Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.

Today marks 53 years since the landmark decision in Roe v. Wade protected the fundamental right to an abortion, until 4 years ago.

Now, the U.S.’s most vulnerable are paying the price.

In CA, we’ll continue to defend this essential right and ensure abortion remains safe, legal, and accessible.

Tierra Walker knew that abortion was illegal in Texas, but she thought that hospitals could make an exception for patients like her, whose health was clearly on the line.

At 20 weeks pregnant, she died of preeclampsia.
Women With High-Risk Pregnancies Have Limited Options Under Abortion Bans
Our reporting has found that abortion bans generally don’t include exceptions that cover health concerns pregnant women with chronic conditions can face — or if they do, doctors aren’t using them.

Major news from New York: A state judge just overturned part of the congressional map, potentially giving Democrats a chance to redraw it for 2026.

If this ruling is upheld, the Staten Island-based 11th District would flip from safely Republican to Democratic-leaning at the very least
#BREAKING: Justice Pearlman has ruled that New York’s 11th Congressional District is unconstitutional under the New York constitution.

He orders the NY Redistricting Commission to reconvene and draw a new congressional map by Feb. 6, 2026.

One year has made it clear: The Trump Administration’s lawlessness is bad for business, bad for workers, bad for families, and bad for our economy.
 
As I have proven 54 times in one year, when Trump breaks the law or harms our people, CA will fight back.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
