On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Chalk up another win!

Boycott the State of the Union Trump doesn’t deserve our attention

I’m not going to watch the State of the Union address Tuesday night. I urge you not to, either. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-fate-of-the-dis-union

The first step to dealing with Trumpism is to ignore everything they say and only watch what they do.

If you have not watched, this is a remarkable lesson in compassion. And so beautiful.

So many Americans are really terrific human beings.

Nice to see Boston stepping up to end the police state.

Thank you, Minneapolis.

Marblehead StandOut for Jan. 31, Saturday. Moving to Tent's Corner because of Snow: 3PM-4PM at Tent's corner, 1 Humphrey st, Marblehead, NOT Glabicky field. After the usual protest, there will be a vigil for Alex Pretti and others who have died with a reading of the latest Amanda Gorman poem.

Call Senator Warren and let her know you appreciate her strong stance and you want her to continue to say "NO" to continued funding of DHS/ICE.

She’s right

When you lose Rupert Murdoch’s famously liberal Wall Street Journal.

Jon SwingLeft's Ground Truth campaign.

Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption: On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti

Absolutely heartbreaking

Essential to convince Senate Democrats not to fund ICE. Here's the script: indivisible.org/campaigns/ho... When you call Warren and Markey, ask for new leadership in the Senate as well!

Why is Massachusetts so far behind?????

Call your Reps and Senators and make sure Democrats know the assignment. Two weeks to go: they need to state their demands clearly now--restrictions on ICE and send CBP back to the border where they belong.

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
