Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Some good thoughts for those of us that seem overwhelmed by the flood from the Trump administration. What I tell myself: "It is better to do a few things, even if they seem small, than to do nothing."

Of Course You're Exhausted. You're Being Targeted.
Your overwhelm is part of Team Trump’s strategy. Here's how to stop doing their work for them and build our capacity for shared civic resilience.

I am not sure how crazy I am about dividing up NoVA so much (look at those slivers in Fairfax County!) but winning back the House is a critical step to bringing sanity back to the US government...and saving my sanity!!
NEW: Virginia Dems have unveiled their proposed 10-1 congressional map in response to GOP gerrymanders in other states. It targets 4 Republicans & has 10 Harris seats.
It will be used in 2026 contingent upon an April 21 voter referendum.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

I know the truth, it's only lies
The president will deny it
The body count, a steady rise

All the violence has touched every part of our lives
Our innocence is gone tonight

The killing of Renee Good was shocking, but it is also becoming normal practice for ICE:

RIP Renee Nicole Good. I did not know you, but I am sadden and outraged by your murder by the hands of masked thugs.
A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

It is hard to sleep thinking that I now live in a country that both kidnaps foreign leaders in the middle of the night in an attempt to plunder their country's resources and deploys masked federal agents to US cities to murder peaceful protesters in the middle of the day.

I turned on the TV last night with a cautious optimism. Now I am filled with a mix of excitement, pride and hope after seeing that people all across the country have not only taken to the streets in mass to protest, but also showed up at the ballot to send a message!
And, as an added bonus, @statenavigate.org is now projecting Dems with 62 seats (out of 100) in the VA House of Delegates (even more amazing when you consider that Dems had only 34 seats heading in to the 2017 elections). Wow, what a night! bluevirginia.us/2025/11/live...

Protecting people's health care is worth fighting for. Stopping our health care system from going into a death spiral is worth fighting for. People want Democrats to stand for something.

Donald: If you are so proud of your beautiful new ballroom project, why erect the walls to block views? Why block access to the public parks and walks? I am not sure about others, but I don't hide things I am proud of.

Went into DC today to add my voice to the growing resistance to the Trump administration (with @melcasmith.bsky.social ). We had fun with costumes! It is hard to capture crowd size from the ground, but there were lots of us! #nokings #nokingsdc
