Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.
The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media.
Beware.
The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constitution. - Thomas Jefferson

This is progress, but we are not letting up.
Demand your Senators vote no on a bill that would keep funding ICE while doing nothing to keep us safe from these out of control federal agents. Take action at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks-
Weβve made it easy to email your senators and demand they reject any DHS budget that puts more money into Trumpβs deadly deportation machine. With a vote expected later this week, itβs extra important for your senators to hear from you right now.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
In the spirit of Dr. King, we must respond to ICE's tyranny with peaceful, mass civil disobedience across America.
I stand with the people of Minnesota and other cities across the country who are doing that today.
ICE descends on Maine. "[Gov. Janet] Mills said, βLook, Maine knows what good law enforcement looks like because our law enforcement are held to high professional standards.... they donβt wear a mask..., and they donβt arrest people in order to fill a quota.ββ abcnews.go.com/US/dhs-launc...

Resistance to this regime can take many forms. Kudos to these volunteers who are stepping up to help their community in Minnesota.

If anyone wants to tune in live, I'm interviewing journalists @carolleonnig.bsky.social and @byaaroncdavis.bsky.social on my YouTube channel and Facebook at 11:30. They're smart. (The interview will be posted later on YouTube, where all my interviews live).

$1.5T for the military budget
$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$470M to send National Guard into cities
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$100M for Trump's golf outings
But no money to lower your healthcare costs.
The struggle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.
The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship.
Everyone must choose which side theyβre on.
This is a big no-no in armed combat.
Itβs like dressing up as a doctor or a nurse and then shooting someone.
If this is proven accurate, itβs 100% a war crime.
Trumpβs persecution of Jerome Powell and his political opponents must end.

Blue graphic with text "Over 7 million people took to the streets in 2025 to protest for our rights. Together, we are powerful." Below the text is a photo of a protest sign that reads "We the people demand due process for all".
Millions took to the streets this year to defend our fundamental rights, and over 80,000 people joined one of our Know Your Rights trainings beforehand to be better prepared to protest.
Weβre keeping up this momentum in 2026.
Expiring ACA tax credits will hit small businesses especially hard. Meanwhile, 74% of small business owners are worried that their business wonβt survive due to Trumpβs tariffs.
Trump is crushing small businesses while doling out tax breaks to his big corporate donors.
Priorities.
In 2026, we will need to work harder to keep voting rights alive and offer new ways your voice and vote can be counted...but we need your help. Please consider supporting your local League of Women Voters for Buffalo/Niagara on Giving Tuesday by following this link:

βI think Vanceβs βNew Rightβ will carry the argument. The motivation is obvious: As long as you never criticize anyone on the right for smaller scandals, you donβt have to do the same when the consequences are much greater and involve someone like Trump himself.β

Blue graphic reading "Regardless of political party, voters support the right to protest." Underneath the text there is a blue tinted image of a person at a protest with a raised fist.
A majority of voters across the political spectrum understand the First Amendment protects our right to protest, whether President Trump likes it or not.
