I was just at a vigil in Madison WI for Renee Good and all others harmed and terrorized by ICE and fascism. We are pissed and our resolve is unshakable.

Hey National Democrats and Progressives trying to figure out how to message:
Watch AOC and Mark and Jumaane and, I’m sure, Zohran’s speeches from today. It’s rare to hear such clear and inspiring messages about hope and power in politics.

Amidst all the (understandable!) doom and gloom, it's important to highlight real wins, and this decline in juvenile arrests over time is definitely a real win.
We've seen similar declines for juvie detention too.
It's a genuine success.
(Note that the x-axis for boys is ~4x that for girls.)

every neoliberal policy analyst wants to "trim the fat" of society until the lean times come. community level resilience, redundancies, etc are good actually
When power went out across all of Puerto Rico on 16 April, a lot of the lights in the town of Adjuntas stayed on. A combination of experimental microgrids, solar panels, and storage kept power on for many businesses and residents.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
