Two Black electeds attacked in the same week.

Seek out and join up with groups in your community that are fighting fascism and racism and xenophobia and hatred. This will be one of our primary jobs for the rest of our lives.
Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.

It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.

Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

They shot Emantic F. Bradford, a 'good guy with a gun' who was running towards danger in order to save lives.

They shot him three times in the back on Thanksgiving with no warning,

And according to the courts, they did what they were supposed to do.
E.J. was 21. Enlisted in the Army, on leave before going to AIT.

He was the primary caretaker of his retired, cancer-battling corrections officer father.

He was a law abiding gun owner carrying a legal gun.

He was at a mall, on Thanksgiving, when a shooting happened.

I have been thinking all day about the number of times unarmed Black people were killed by police on the pretext that their cell phone looked like a gun. And people would say “oh but you just don‘t know what the truth is.” Well here it is.
OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

Since this is taking off, here are ways to help. I'll give you one more: there is a nationwide blood shortage right now. If you are well & able, please give blood via the Red Cross. They're going to have to start rationing & making hard decisions about who gets the supply
