I was grateful to be invited to speak to a very large No Kings gathering in Amsterdam yesterday. The US is waking up, even abroad. Onward!

Live Updates: María Corina Machado of Venezuela Is Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

Trump will whine that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, because it was given to someone working to turn a dictatorship into a democracy instead of the other way around. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

I was really honored to be profiled in the new edition of the Kennedy School alumni magazine. I have been walking the citizen activism road for 50 years and I have been graced to walk it with many of you.

Donald Trump sends me an email like this almost every day. Is he finally having regrets about his actions? But it seems like the only way he can get to heaven if I give him money.

Dear Donald, sorry I missed you. Are you asking for money again?

More than 120 people of all ages turned out this morning in Lockport NY for our protest against ICE and Trump‘s abduction of migrants in our community. Most heartbreaking sign, a middle school student holding up: “ICE abducted my friend’s family.”

JIM SHULTZ: America's new secret police They wear black masks that cover everything but their eyes. They carry guns but not identification. They drive unmarked cars.

Masked agents with no identification are throwing terrified men, women, and children into unmarked vans and carrying them away. Here is my column in today's Lockport Union-Sun & Journal and syndicated to 100 newspapers nationwide.

JIM SHULTZ: A letter to our cowardly congresswoman Dear Congresswoman Tenney,

"Congresswoman Claudia Tenney loves concentration camps in El Salvador the way some Germans loved Auschwitz." My column in today's Lockport Union-Sun & Journal: Letter to our Coward Congresswoman. www.lockportjournal.com/opinion/jim-...

Notice the difference in Pope Francis photos?

Well Donald?

Rep Claudia Tenney are you on drugs. Our retirement funds are cratering in service to Trump’s ego and your lips are occupied elsewhere.

Where?

If you aren’t paying attention to how NYPD is turning #LuigiMangione into a folk hero, you aren’t paying attention.

Biden’s pardon of his son will give Trump both license and a lot of motivation to pardon anyone for anything. Political boomerangs are tough. Hunter did us no favors and we owed him none.

It will give Trump both license and a lot of motivation to pardon anyone for anything. Political boomerangs are tough. Hunter did us no favors and we owed him none.

Forrests are pretty cool and are the reason we can have books.

It is stuff like this that just makes Trump more powerful. How would others feel if Tucker Carlson posted this about Barack Obama? Can we try to be just a bit more strategic and stop feeding the beast of Trumpism red meat?

Happy Thanksgiving! He is risen.

A friendly reality reminder: Donald Trump’s win in the popular vote in 2024 was half that of Biden’s in 2020. Not much of a mandate.

Mexican President Mulls Retaliatory Tariffs After Trump’s Threats President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to President-elect Trump’s threat to impose high tariffs, saying such a move would inflict damage on both countries.

“Allocating even a fraction of what the United States spends on warfare toward peace building and development would address the deeper drivers of migration,” Ms. Sheinbaum wrote in the letter. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/26/u...

Fred Harris, former US senator from Oklahoma and presidential hopeful, dies at 94 | CNN Fred Harris, a former U.S. senator from Oklahoma, presidential hopeful and populist who championed Democratic Party reforms in the turbulent 1960s, died Saturday. He was 94.

When Fred Harris dropped out of the presidential race in 1976 he said this and I never forgot it: “We couldn’t exactly call it winning and we couldn’t exactly call it losing so we decided to call it quits.” Vintage Fred Harris. www.cnn.com/2024/11/24/u...
