Minnesota shifting narrative from "rabble rousing protesters" vs "law enforcement" to "people of conscience" vs "evil regime." This is essential to defeating authoritarianism - exposing who, what & why they are by demonstrating who, what & why we are.
And MAGA knows it.

There is evil and then there is this
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

I'm on the Green Line towards downtown Minneapolis ICE OUT protest.

The train filled immediately. Even 20 stops away from our destination we reached capacity.

People are cheering at every stop when they see people waiting to board because we are all starting to realize how big this is.

Displaced Altadena renters are getting screwed. Please read this deeply reported, moving piece by Elizabeth Aguilera, herself a renter forced out of her family home by the Eaton fire.
Elizabeth Aguilera is a journalist who remains displaced by the Eaton fire. She writes that if the focus of rebuilding stays on homeowners and renters continue to feel ignored, the community that comes back will look vastly different than the Altadena that was lost.
Why Altadena renters feel left out of fire relief
Many Eaton fire survivors who rented their homes want to return to Altadena. Unless they get more help, the community that's rebuilt will look vastly different from the Altadena that was lost.

Medical professionals are alerting us that many pregnant women cancel their prenatal care out of fear of ICE. Many soon to be mothers prefer giving birth at home while others give birth alone at the hospital out of fear their relatives may be abducted by ICE.

This makes me think Eric Adams has gold bars or stolen money hidden somewhere other than in his home.
Eric Adams' new PR strategy: "You called me corrupt. Yet there are no gold bars, no payoffs, no stolen money, no cash in my home."

I've been working on California state policy the entire time Newsom has been governor, and I can assure you that it has not been doing "just fine" with a governor who has always been more focused on podcasting and promotion-seeking than doing his job.
Newsom is the antidote to Trump. We need Newsom's fearsomeness to attack Trump. California is doing just fine with Newsom away for a few days.

No one should vote to fund this or say that it can be improved with proper training. At this point, "Abolish ICE" is the moderate position.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

The most important technological revolution of our lifetime has nothing to do with AI:

Important to realize also that, once constructed, solar infrastructure just keeps working*, for decades, with very little additional cost. There's no need for a constant stream of inputs like fossil fuels.
Check this one fact out:

"In 2024, the total installed electricity capacity of the planet—every coal, gas, hydro, and nuclear plant and all of the renewables—was about 10 terawatts. The Chinese solar supply chain can now pump out 1 terawatt of panels every year."

I want to emphasize that at this time the unconfirmed reports that President Trump has both arms stuck "elbow deep" in the airplane toilet are just that. We will be monitoring this story. Please be responsible about spreading news that both his arms are "as far as they can go" into the toilet hole.

Time and again, successful resistance to Trump’s authoritarianism comes from ordinary Americans putting their actual bodies on the line, when institutional leaders can’t even deign to use strong language.
