THIS IS CRUCIAL
Flipping the script, turning their violence into our power, is the only path forward
The 123-page doc by @hardymerriman.bsky.social goes deep on this framework with examples and practical advice for assigning roles, designing campaigns, and doing the work with your own local community. Highly recommend.
If you want to go deep on the theory and strategy, this resource on how to make political violence backfire is informative and practical. static1.squarespace.com/static/666b7...

The world tries to make you do this but never let the cowardice of elites make you cynical towards the courage and goodness of normal people
Great piece explaining the how the Maduro arrest violates international law. @Just_Security. www.justsecurity.org/127981/inter...
Today is the fifth anniversary of one of the darkest days in U.S. history, an attempt to use brute force to block the lawful transfer of presidential power. We are a nation of laws, not violence.
The White House revision of the 5th anniversary of January 6 is less about remembering 2021 than it is about conjuring 1984.

If policy makers are genuinely concerned about loss of population in the United States, the easy answer is immigration. What they really seem to want is more white people.

It doesn’t take a trained ear to hear the deflections. Homan does not deny taking a bag of money. The public deserves answers.
The State of Minnesota is a separate sovereign, entitled to enforce its own laws. Feds are certainly entitled to conduct a parallel investigation, but not to freeze out state investigators.

This is a meaningless trick. A court cannot violate rule 6(e), which prohibits public disclosure.
In some much needed positive news coming out of Washington, the House took a bipartisan step by forcing a vote to advance legislation that would renew enhanced ACA tax credits. Nine Republicans defied GOP leadership to join Democrats, using a rare discharge petition to push the measure forward
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed a petition for rehearing with the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) relating to their recent approval of “special” contracts for DTE to service a 1.4 gigawatt hyperscale AI data center in Washtenaw County.
For the third night in a row Detroit, Michigan joined in solidarity for Justice for Renee Good after her brutal murder in the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota by an ICE agent.
Donald Trump is making his first trip to Michigan in 2026 next week on Tuesday. He's headed to Detroit’s MotorCity Casino Sound Board Theatre to address the Detroit Economic Club, an exclusive business-elite forum that’s hosted presidents and CEOs and has repeatedly given a platform to Trump.
Facing an alarmingly self-inflicted crisis inside NATO, the UK is now considering sending British troops to help defend Greenland, a drastic step prompted not by an external invasion but by Donald Trump’s renewed threats to take control of the Danish territory & refusal to rule out military force.
BASH: I remember a time when Republicans were very careful about the government having access to personal data
NOEM: Well, we can't trust the government anymore
BASH: You are the government
