For giving, this is a very good resource for mutual aid orgs, personal fundraisers, and nonprofit/community org donations.

Besides that, the best thing you can do is prepare your own communities. If it can happen here or Lewiston, Maine, it can happen anywhere.

The moment we stop asking for things because we don't yet have the votes is the moment we stop moving forward.

We didn't have the votes when we first asked for marriage equality. Or the Civil Rights Act. Should we stop pushing for Medicare for All because we don't yet have the votes?

@statuscoupnews.bsky.social interviewing this woman in Minneapolis right now who said she came out of her home, wearing whatever she could grab to protect herself from ICE agents. You do what you can, with what you got.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”

1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.

2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.

3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

My office is ending Betar US’s campaign that engaged in bias-motivated assaults, threats, and harassment targeting Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, and Jewish New Yorkers.

My office will continue to use every tool available to protect all New Yorkers’ civil rights and public safety.

I learned a long time ago to never piss off people known for being nice. Not only do you look like an asshole, they make you regret it more than anyone else.

I'm at a coffee shop at the moment with a bunch of writer buds, and we just observed a large convoy of ICE vehicles pursued by a much larger convoy of volunteer observers honking their horns with wild abandon. If there's one thing Minnesotans do, it's show up for shit.

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?
