If you choose to go out, you need more than vibes. You need a plan. This is about maximizing safety and impact. Not about looking brave on Instagram.

If you’re going out, your first job is coming home.

45 postcards in two hours asking Dem voters in OH to vote for Sherrod Brown. Postcards and letters really help, plus we laugh a lot. Not shown: me with camera, Stuey giving postcards, Tuck donating stamps. A five-person collaboration. ❤️ activateamerica.vote/postcards

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

“We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy… The powerful have their power. But we have something, too: the capacity to stop pretending.”

Large protests broke out in Denmark and Greenland under the slogan “Hands off Greenland.” Crowds gathered in front of Copenhagen’s City Hall before marching to the U.S. Embassy, demanding respect for Greenlanders’ right to self-determination and opposing reported U.S. plans concerning the island.

It's horrific but also this is pretty much a regular arrest. That's how violent arrests are. I am glad people can see it and be horrified -- that's what police are out there doing every day, legally. Every 3 seconds basically.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.

The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

This was a major initiative from the Biden White House, based in the idea of getting together all the countries with a stake in this crisis. They pressured China to stop precursor chemicals, hit hard at the capital funding for production in Mexico, and funded Narcan in the U.S. It apparently worked.

DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.
