Party to the Conflict: Eugene Fights Back Against the Feds A participant describes the clashes with federal agents and police that took place in Eugene, Oregon in January 2026β€”a microcosm of the resistance that is spreading ICE increasingly thin.

"Whatever happens, we cannot and will not allow their world to take shape. If our movement must be forged in the crucible of federal occupation, then so be it. Victory belongs to those who fight for a righteous cause."

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

I know I’ve said this before but it’s embarrassing that so many left intellectuals spent 10 years debating if this was β€œreally” fascism while the admin was staffing DHS with open Hitler fans.

@emptywheel.bsky.social has a (frankly) amazing overview of Trump, his administration, how we might deal with where we are, and how we might move forward.

I dont see how any of my fellow Jewish Americans can be more fearful of college students protesting about Palestine than they are of a militarized ICE stacked with avowed Hitler supporters

The estimated cost to end hunger in America is $25 billion.

Or we could spend three times that to let ICE murder people.

Trump’s Own Mortgages Match His Description of Mortgage Fraud, Records Reveal The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found Trump once did the very thing ...

Both of the homes Trump claimed as principal residences in the ’90s were used as investment properties and rented out, according to an interview with his longtime real estate agent β€” exactly the sort of scenario he’s pointed to as evidence of fraud.

Happy holidays from the Starbucks picket line!

We're STILL on ULP strike, and just this week, 19 more stores filed for a union election.✊πŸ”₯

DON'T BUY STARBUCKS at ANY location until the company resolves their 100s of outstanding unfair labor practices. NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE!

A big victory for the University of California.

And a call to every university across the U.S. to refuse to sacrifice academic freedom to Donald Trump.

Our democracy requires your uncensored voices. And the law is on your side.

Target doesn’t care about diversity and they don’t care about their workers. Target Corporation donated $1,000,000 to President Trump in January and this is the result - an economy of bigotry.

If you work at Target, organize. If you shop at Target, stop.

Workers deserve to be valued.
