It's 85 seconds to midnight on the Doomsday Clock.

The folks at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists ended today's presentation with a call for a global people's revolution against the maniacs in charge.

Well not exactly, but close!

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

I think what a lot of folks miss is how profitable deportation is for the corporations involved & the politicians they're backing.

Holding people, physically removing them, is cost for the taxpayer & profit into the pockets of the worst people you can imagine.

The setting of the Doomsday Clock gets a lot of eyeballs, but the real juice is in the Clock Statement, where @meckdevil.bsky.social synthesizes the many intersecting global threats assessed by @thebulletin.org's Science & Security Board:

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

I ended the night as the guest of queer, observant Jews who have been organizing nonstop against ICE.

Observant Muslims fed us and everyone else at protests.

An indigenous organizer spoke to us of the creator.

Every church we saw had messages of inclusion and antifascism on their marquees.

Trump's "board of peace" seems mainly like a post-presidency grift for the trump family - yes a way to usurp the UN but also to keep monetizing the presidency out of office.

Not unlike the Clinton Global Initiative, I'm afraid. But with more private $$ to the family and less do-gooder veneer.

Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

One of the most important parts of independent media is that you can ask politicians the kind of questions that fake news corporate slop won't!

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.

Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

Naomi Klein @naomiaklein.bsky.social · 6d

maybe a misunderstanding - i was saying you can watch the debates but not vote if you aren't a member, even if you donated. I had donated but found out I wasn't a member, so if I hadn't joined last week I wouldn't have been able to vote. If that makes sense...'

Obviously I'm biased but Avi's campaign is on fire.

Folks are realizing that we can have a national party that represents our values, weaves our movements together and - for starters - pushes Carney to do way better on climate, housing, healthcare, Palestine.

🧵Canadian friends: if you want to vote for the next leader of the NDP, you have *just one week left* to buy a (cheap) party membership.

After that, there will be a big English debate and lots of media coverage, but it will be too late to have a say.

Only members can vote for leader.

Congress released a DHS funding bill that doesn’t rein in ICE nor significantly reduce its funding.

Contact your reps to demand they vote no on any funding bill allowing ICE to continue its abuses:

"It was a bunch of empty promises from a bunch of Wall Street types who abandoned their pledges when it was no longer convenient,” said a former BlackRock executive who requested anonymity to speak freely about their former employer.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Forced face scanning of a U.S. citizen with zero cause, just bald racial profiling. This is tech fascism.

Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019.

Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:
