This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Never forget that in 1861 Charles Darwin wrote in a letter to a friend…

“But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything"

…because this is my favorite reminder that we can do great things even if we don't always have great days

The Maine State Library laid off 13 staff members Wednesday — nearly one-third of its staff — and announced that it would close for two weeks to restructure its operations after the Trump administration indefinitely suspended certain federal funds.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Today, thousands of openly-transgender service members will put on their uniform and do what needs to be done because they honor their oath to our country, while Pete Hegseth denigrates their service and violates his oath by brazenly sharing classified intel in text groups.

Just a reminder.

Whenever people in Britain and America like to laud themselves about WWII, I like to remind them that Britain and America both rejected Anne Frank’s family’s visas. They could have been a happy family in London, where Otto wanted to go, or New York.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
