When we talk about new nonviolent tactics emerging and how every action of the regime gives us a chance to be creative, adaptive, and get control of the narrative: the protestors at the Portland ICE facility are giving a master class right now.

Someone showed up with a cart of inflatables. The protest is now a dance party outside the PDX ICE facility. Federal police have mostly stood back but did unleash a toxin into the air @nbcnews.com

Miller seethes when people make fun of him online, so I do think ridiculing him is impactful.

Better, though, would be to start calling him President Miller and telling folks he’s really in charge - that’ll drive Trump nuts.

Administration officials pile lie upon lie upon lie. When a president and his aides are doing that, it’s no longer America.

When masked government thugs take potshots at a priest, it’s no longer America.

Machado founded an election-monitoring group more than two decades ago, and has been a persistent voice in favor of international sanctions on the regime. For years the Venezuelan leadership has repeatedly accused her of conspiracy, treason, and fraud, and banned her from leaving the country.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

Trump can't guarantee Israel won't bomb Gaza after release of hostages.

The United States will deploy up to 200 troops to Israel to establish a task force to support stabilization efforts in Gaza, but no Americans are expected to be deployed into the Palestinian enclave, U.S. officials said on Thursday.
