Please open to find ways to help Ukrainians in this dark winter. Trump & Congress abandoned---betrayed---Ukraine. As a result, Ukraine lacks adequate air defenses & Russia is able to commit war crime after war crime targeting civilian facilities & civilians. Americans can fill some of this void.

Self-censorship is obeying in advance. Shielding Americans from what this administration has done to the US's reputation and standing abroad is a profound disservice to NBC's viewers, who should know long-standing allies & friends now boo leaders of the United States.

With a few exceptions, the items in this list are already the law. Republicans are saying it’s unrealistic for Trump’s goons to follow the law.

This is a good slogan.

Notwithstanding the Trump-aligned editorials, the @washingtonpost.com's unionized journalists and other union workers are the ones keeping this a real newspaper (as the @wsj.com). It's worth fighting for. Show solidarity for @postguild.bsky.social. Join the protest if you can. #SaveThePost

What really got to me in this essay, other than the horrible particulars and the inspiring details about the community response, was when she first looked into the protests, on October first, and learned it had already been going for 119 days

Keep reposting. We need to know. And we need to resist (staying committed to strategic nonviolence).

@maddow.bsky.social is posting the reports we generally aren't seeing. Keep reposting. We all need to know the extent of ICE and administration lawlessness.

Eight people have died in dealings with ICE so far in 2026. These are their stories The high-profile killings of Minneapolis residents Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good are only two among many

Contact @riseandresist.bsky.social for their posters/pictures. Wikipedia has a List of Deaths in ICE Detention page.
The Guardian is doing the best reporting:

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social is correct. It is the right analogy.

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

Thanks also to @adamserwer.bsky.social for his in-person reporting on Minneapolis.

More media need to be reporting the full story. Thanks @stephenrodrick.bsky.social for doing it. (See below.)

Also thanks to @polgreen.bsky.social for her full-page Sunday Opinion article in @nytimes.com. Please read.

Glad to have been outside support for today's protest inside Trump Tower bringing attention to dozens who have died in detention centers or at the hands of ICE. Passers-by on posh 5th Ave. were largely supportive & many joined in chants "Abolish ICE." Rise & Resist is right. We can't just stand by.

We have seen the whole gamut of authoritarian abuse of power being unleashed at a greater level this past month. It requires an increasing level of resistance at all levels to prevent Trump's consolidation of greater power.

So many NYers out in the cold at a vigil for Alex Pretti, standing in solidarity with the unions who organized it and with our siblings in MN 💙

Depends on how one defines Europe, but the un-democratic actions & human rights violations in Georgia *are* at a new level. Worth the read. And @terjehelland.bsky.social is correct: GD does it because it can act with impunity. Unfortunately, the US won't act. Up to the #EU. @kajakallas.bsky.social

Well, thanks so much for lecturing me. I've been around long enough, too. Longer even (as Jacobs).
When someone mistakes a post for what it is not & spends a day making it into something it isn't, I've got it.

There's a reason the right to petition the Government for redress of grievances is part of the First Amendment. Use it. Pressure works.
Keep signing. Keep emailing. Keep calling: 202-224-3121 (and ask for your Senator/Rep).

I think you miss the forest for the single tree. Jacobs' & my posts weren't about blaming but media accountability. He is an experienced journalist & serious analyst. Lecture about what proper journalism involves but Jacobs knows it as do I. He is worth taking note of. Take time to read his work.

Trump is succeeding in taking over mainstream American media with sycophants and supporters more efficiently even than Viktor Orban. He's doing it without any new law on media.

FYI: Bellingcat was 1st to do frame by frame. It's now a year in, w/ LA, Chicago, et al., incl/ multiple shootings/deaths in custody, and it took MN and 2 video-taped murders for there to be clear front-page, non-stop reporting. Yes, call out good journalism. But Jacobs is right to call for better.

@markjacob.bsky.social asks the right question (given less stellar reporting b4 now). Agreed: support all free media, but NYT was late to "stellar" reporting. Took videos to make it stellar. And Kahn's headlines are speculative even when reporting clear evidence. WSJ was clear. Worth calling out.

Correct. If a former R comms person sees it, Dem Senators should, too. This is about the entire authoritarian architecture built for '26 midterms. Dems need to hold the line until ICE is taken off the field (so it stops intimidating voters). Also deny DOJ voter rolls. Protect free & fair elections.

Nor am I. @nytimes.com states that clear evidence only "appears" to contradict (if no video, then there isn't even the appearance). Note, however, the @wsj.com was much clearer stating the video evidence did in fact contradict. Absent Joe Kahn, it seems some journalists/editors may put 2+2 together.

Admitting moral error in his vote is a good thing. Now let's get the 6 other Vichy Dems to do the same (and so @tomsuozzi.bsky.social should do more than just email his campaign list and convince his colleagues to make a common public statement).

Watch and listen.

As much as media (rightly) has covered the resistance to tyranny in Minnesota, they have downplayed the national solidarity that has been demonstrated all over the country (with Rs/former Rs like @govwhitman.bsky.social also standing up).
