This is the kind of shit we need to see. The notion that being professional and nominally apolitical puts you in opposition to Trump as much as being a member of the opposing political party does.

Powell standing up to Trump is the same thing as the Minneapolis residents standing up to ICE - both rely on the realization that all of their power flows out of their ability to make you afraid, and you don’t have to be, and then they have barely any power over you anymore.

"Quit demonstrating" is not something that a pro-democracy politician says. It's something that an authoritarian tool says.
Rep. Roger Williams: "People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil."

The 123-page doc by @hardymerriman.bsky.social goes deep on this framework with examples and practical advice for assigning roles, designing campaigns, and doing the work with your own local community. Highly recommend.

This is why public backlash and mobilizing is so crucial. ICE is an out-of-control secret police and if the lesson they learn from this week is that escalating violence against civilians = less protest and less oversight, they will put that lesson into action. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

Please stop and read this statement from Renee Good's wife.
Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:

Name, shame, and boycott the scammers. They're effectively supporting this fascist regime with their self-enriching bullshit.
Hi @forwardblue.bsky.social No Kings 3 planning is ongoing. You are hurting our coalition-building by sending texts like this-it confuses partners who see them & think we've made decisions without consulting them.

Please reach out to discuss what to do with the money you've raised for No Kings.

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

y'all Kristi Noem absolutely deserves to be impeached but please, please be wary of Dems who try to use an impeachment vote on Noem (fine, but not gonna end in removal) as a substitute for action on ICE funding (real, hits them where it hurts)

Has anyone seen Jeffries or Schumer at a protest or rally this weekend?

In Minneapolis?
At a #IceOutForGood @indivisible.org rally?

The minimum requirement for democratic leaders right now is to be out in the streets with the people who are under attack.

In under 48 hours, you organized nearly 1,200 marches and vigils in all 50 states and DC for Renee Nicole Good.

There are more of us than there are of them — and We the People won’t stop demanding accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee. #ICEOutForGood

Our tax dollars are paying this asshole’s salary.
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

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.
