Resistance is working. Celebrate the successes. We're going to win this.
MN ICE watch is measurably de-escalating violence. Attraction to ICE for newbies is social approval & group power. Now, larger group meets them with social censure. They're using more agents (taken from elsewhere) to conduct relatively fewer arrests, lowering abductions there & beyond.

Virginia Democrats are not fucking around.
The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:
—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.
These will all go to 2026 referendums.

Republicans really think people are dumb enough that gas prices will distract them from an assault on our Constitution. The only people who are buying it are the ones in the cult.

Federal agents arrest a woman for "impeding"
A man nearby starts blowing a whistle while other observers honk their horns
The agents pepper-spray the man with the whistle, he continues, and they tackle him then arrest him

If Senate Democrats vote to fund ICE, and to give ICE even more money, they may as well put on the red hats themselves because they will have betrayed their constituents and our Constitution.
The fascist government gave ICE a massive funding increase which they’re using to wage war on cities, murder citizens and kidnap immigrants.
Senate Democrats response is to offer them more funding.
It’s time to abolish the two party system.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Just some bangers from the COIN Manual that informed so many of our experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The level of restraint we expect from our soldiers and Marines, even in a COIN environment, is remarkable.
Such professionalism should be expected of every American we trust to bear arms.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

A heck of a chart: in every single one of the 10 major US cities that built the most housing between 2017 and 2023, rents for older, existing units fell—often by quite a bit.

Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.
