I don’t see how this country survives until 2029 unless Trump is impeached and removed. This level of lawless malice is not sustainable. What fresh horrors await us this week?

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates.

DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

We Are on Our Own

From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

This is today in Minnesota. A swarm of ICE thugs bashed in the door with guns aimed. Everyone has to watch and share. This is now Sunday in America.

I'm just back from the Ice Out for Good protest in Alexandria with @someonedosomething.bsky.social. Cold as hell, massive gusts of wind, and a fired up crowd. Told to organize beyond this moment, a throng of people head straight to the sign-up tables. Outrage today, organize tomorrow. We will win.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

FUCK ICE. ABOLISH ICE.

AND PROSECUTE THE AGENT WHO DID THIS.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

The WH released photos of Trump watching the operation live from a makeshift “war room” at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump went on Fox News this morning and said he watched it like “a television show,” praising the “speed” and “violence” as “an amazing thing.”

I'm losing track of how many countries a man livid he wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize has illegally bombed.

Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen.

Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.

Scott Wiener's anti-masking law is now in effect in California barring Trump's ICE Nazis from hiding their faces. This will make it easier for authorities to identify and arrest them once the US Nuremberg trials begin against fascists who committed crimes for the Trump regime. 👇

CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics
