Jane Fonda isn’t mincing words: We’re seeing things that have never happened before. Authoritarianism has made it’s way into every single nook and cranny of our government. People are being kidnapped, illegally deported, shot, and blinded. This isn’t left vs. right. It’s right vs. wrong.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
Notice the suppressors

@timothysnyder.bsky.social is sharing an extremely important #CupOfJoe. Drink it in.
As the state uses and normalizes violent forms of resistance, that makes it all the more important for the rest of us to use non-violent forms of resistance.

Congress can freeze out funding for ICE in 2 weeks — but only if Democrats are a unified opposition. To make that happen, we must flood their offices with calls to demand ICE Out For Good.

A 🧵re protective masks for ICE protesters (in Minneapolis MN and elsewhere). I am not a scientist, but my BF has a PhD in inorganic chemistry and provided this info to me so I could provide it to you. Please share and re-post it widely. It may save someone, esp. from green gas ICE is using (1/x)

People need to stop pretending the U.S. government isn’t actively rebranding as a white supremacist movement.
🚨 The Trump administration has rolled out a coordinated campaign across departments, using imagery and messaging straight from right-wing and white nationalist circles.
This isn’t subtle.

I just announced my proposed budget. It's balanced. It doesn't raise taxes. It removes tax breaks for corporations. It preserves reproductive health care access. It maintains core services.
And even as the federal government goes backward on affordability, we're moving forward.
