My profile pic is an old Lysander plane, used to ferry brave French Resistance & intelligence operatives between France & Britain during WW2. Their work was pivotal in weakening the Nazis in Europe. Now, sadly we need to defeat Nazis in the USA & UK too.

Today, Jan 30th 2026 is possibly the most important day of many of our lives.
America is at a very, very dangerous crossroads and today may be the last chance to counter Trump's fascists
If enough people show peaceful defiance on this day of action, It could very well change the course of history🙏

🚨 The new year has brought what everyone warned us about: FBI raids on a journalist’s home in DC & now the arrest of a former CNN anchor & journalist who was covering a story at a church in Minnesota. This is a critical moment for journalism.
The First Amendment is being shredded by Trump.

Donald Trump said anybody who disagrees with him will never be Fed Chair. Kevin Warsh – who cared more about helping Wall Street after the 2008 crash than millions of unemployed Americans – has apparently passed the loyalty test.

ICE tactics do line up with one theory recognized by military strategists: the theory of control, using terror tactics to create a violent resistance to justify its brutal subjugation and as an excuse to change laws enlarging the definition of terrorism and treason.

Zelensky said Ukraine will not accept compromises that violate its territorial integrity and that no deal on Donbas exists. He said Russia stopped prisoner exchanges, warned about dangerous territorial precedents, did not rule out delaying the next Ukraine Russia meeting. #Ukraine

President Obama always stood up for women. Equal pay, healthcare and the right to vote were important to him. He shares a reminder of a bill he signed for equal pay for us. Fascism is trying to strip this away along with many other rights. The fight for women continues! #Pinks

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.
