"As the Trump administration cracks down on both environmental policies and progressive activism, the Sunrise Movement, the youth-led climate justice organization that popularized calls for a Green New Deal, is widening its mission to fight authoritarianism."

Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, faces the recurring judicial dilemma of the Trump era: how to deal with a president who lies about the conditions he claims justify his power. trib.al/e0AmwST
Courage doesn’t require rhetoric or defiance—only the quiet insistence that facts still matter.
🚨It feels like things are getting darker faster. Now, more than ever, we need to show the Trump regime, ourselves, and each other that we can and will fight back.

Noem complained that her agents were not being permitted to use restrooms in Chicago because of opposition from residents.
We’re also seeing posts about restaurants denying service to ICE.
Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon.
The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.
This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate. We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops. I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.
Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

Judge Immergut isn’t playing around and I suspect will slam the Trump Administration for trying to end-run her order from yesterday blocking Trump’s call-up of Oregon’s National Guard in Portland.

If a high-ranking elected official can be detained in broad daylight, no one is immune from this regime’s authoritarian overreach.
Let’s stand together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption — and remind Trump and his enablers that there are NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
MSNBC is reporting that Kash Patel fired another FBI agent today because they refused to arrest and perp walk James Comey. It's all for show—they want to embarrass the guy and put on a big display for their base. They know the case is going to get thrown out by the courts.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane
