People of Maine, how can the rest of the country help you stand up the way MN successfully did?
ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...
ICE watchers in Maine say they were threatened by federal agents

TikTok is under right wing billionaire control now. Plan your exit strategy.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

Not headline news. No real fuss by Democratic leaders. No calls to censure. No pushback. No questions asked of GOP leadership by the press.
Just totally accepted anti-Muslim bigotry across the board.

Almost no new jobs have been added since April and 710,000 more people are unemployed now compared to a year ago.
Meanwhile consumer prices are skyrocketing thanks to Trump's tariffs.
Does this sound like an "A+++++" economy to you?

Thinking about the Jewish community in Australia.
On this holiday, the worst can happen.
I do not have much power to change, but I am shocked and hope we can make the world a safer and more inclusive place.
