What an assembled team of scientists and communicators. Clearly great work.

If every American did 3 of these 5 things, ICE would be stopped in its tracks. We move TOGETHER and we move NOW. (Updated 1/24/26 at 7p PT.)

It’s late, but otherwise I’d forget to send. Nitey Nite

Let me try to articulate what I think the central economic issue of the current moment really is.

Maybe SpaceX should do what railroads have done for years: random UAs

Wait, it’s not a wheal.

Absolutely. Our slide can be traced back to Citizens United, not fictitious criminal gangs running wild.

Amen

@crow.house.gov is serving a resolute #CupOfJoe. More please.

Plumbing takes special skills, none of which are required or applicable to Congress.

YouTube video by FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul Jesse Ventura on Minneapolis ICE shooting: 'We're a 3rd world country now'

Jesse Ventura may be radical in some of his views but he is a true patriot. I'll stand behind Ventura any day.

At the start of 2025, we knew this movement would play a pivotal role in the fight against authoritarianism.

Still, we’re blown away by the level of commitment and dedication you have shown throughout a difficult year.

Thank you for reminding the regime that power still belongs with the people.

A smarter model for paying for college: income-based repayment. You start paying your student loans only once you earn enough to comfortably get by. That turns higher ed debt into something more like a tax surcharge on success, not a choke collar on people who are struggling.

Now five more on the East Coast. 
 
All because Donald Trump wants to kill cheap, renewable energy. 
 
Want to know who will pay the price for Trump's job killing cancellations?

Check your utility bill next year and you will see.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

YouTube video by NTD Washington National Guardsmen Fill Sandbags as Floodwaters Rise

This is what makes America great: helping each other. That’s American. Notice the smiles, laughs of the National Guard? This is what they signed up for (not guarding Federal buildings). WA thanks the National Guard for helping flood victims #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

Using our tax dollars to provide a safety net for our people - a lovely idea that the current regime has shredded to bits.

Trump and his allies are a house of cards, consisting of Russia, some Middle East countries, prominent dictators, international mobsters, and billionaires. The cards seem to have a common thread: underdeveloped prefrontal cortexes.

Release the Epstein files.
Lock up the war criminals.
Abolish the ICE Gestapo.
Lock up the felon.
