Imagine getting up and going to work every day when your job includes kidnapping 5-year-old kids.

The legally-mandated release of the Epstein files is now more than one month overdue.

There are still MILLIONS of pages DOJ has yet to release.

What are Trump's personal lawyers at the DOJ trying to hide?

100 cosponsors and 30k letters sent to Congress for impeaching Noem in a week is something special.

But we aren’t even close to the finish line, so let’s keep pushing!

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.

That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.

Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

NEVER FORGET: Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸

MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Remember this.

Tomorrow we honor the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. I remember the "good trouble" that occurred 65 years ago. I believe it’s time for some good trouble again. Some thoughts...

We must continue the work to abolish ICE.

But right now, Congress can stop ICE’s violent reign of terror. Tell them to do it today: (202) 224-3121

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Trump has made it clear he regards himself as president only of the people who voted for him. But that’s not how the Constitution works. Nor is it how American democracy works.
The Constitution Prohibits Trump’s War on Blue States
This will be one of the major legal fights to come in the Trump regime.

A cold-blooded murder was committed inside the United States by an agent of the United States federal government acting under the authority of Donald Trump.

That is cause for deep concern by us all — right and left, Democrat and Republican. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-cold-blooded-murder

If this was the worst year of your life, you're not alone.

If you barely kept your sanity in tact, you're not alone.

If you had plans for better things derailed, you're not alone.

If you're afraid to trust firework videos cause they might be AI, YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

Happy New Year 2026, friends! 🎆🥂

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.
