Friends, this is a difficult but very necessary watch and truly the most powerful video I have seen in years. Please watch it, support the brilliant @michellekinney.com and @tarasetmayer.bsky.social at the Seneca Project and spread it far and wide. We cannot turn away from the horror.

Listen to the video.

The most threatening thing anyone said was

"Come on down. I have a Subway sandwich for ya! I can throw it at ya!"

Excellent article!

A part of me wonders if the delays and lack of resolve was Biden's version of pardoning him without the political repercussions of actually doing so, ala Ford to Nixon, thinking it would quietly go away.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

If Republicans can casually ignore precedent, so can Democrats.

Speaker Johnson has no right to stop duly elected representatives from taking office.

Call a press conference on the capitol steps, and swear in Democratic Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva - NOW.

Also, "the left" includes anyone who isn't MAGA, even if they are conservative, like Liz Cheney or James Comey.

Trump has to rush his consolidation of power before he’s debilitatingly unpopular. That’s what authoritarians do.

What we do is organize massive, peaceful resistance that unifies the opposition, retakes power, and ushers in an era of accountability & reform: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
