We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.
Everything Stephen Miller and DHS say should be presumed to be a lie, without exception.

TONIGHT: Organizers in Minnesota are asking you to shine a light for their state.
Good's murder "brings America one step closer to a civil war between cities and states defending their citizens and a Trump administration using fascist-style tactics to have a secret police force provoke confrontations, arrests, and in this case, a killing." Read: prospect.org/2026/01/08/i...

Donald Trump wants to send as much as $100,000 in cash to each person in Greenland. With 56,000 people, that's $5.6 BILLION. Meanwhile they're slashing Veterans care, while Americans can't afford groceries. Here's our response: F*** No.
They still somehow feel justified in saying they aren’t Nazis
Police states are only rarely openly violent. It's all about scaring people off from asserting their rights. The fact that Trumpism--which has to my knowledge openly celebrated violence since the first rally I reported, Spring '16--is increasingly openly violent may signal something even worse.
Tell me another one about how protests don’t matter…

It's time to state clearly that if MAGA and Republicans can't condemn any part of this shooting, continue to blame the victim for it, and even hint that it's a just outcome that others "deserve," that's a crossing of the line that the rest of us won't ever be able to forget.
Getting lots of reports of full DC and local office voicemail boxes. Keep it up 😎📞🔥
Very important thread here: the shooter was ignoring his training as well as the law.

Screenshot of an X post by BigBlueWaveUSA claiming Trump pardoned Philip Esformes, described as a Minnesota healthcare fraudster. Below the post is a linked NBC News image showing a smiling man in a suit posing at a formal event.
This is the 7th person whose sentence was commuted by Trump that has been rearrested on new charges. And don't pretend Trump cares about fraud in MN. This guy bilked over a $1 billion and Trump let him go.
“When’s the next nationwide protest?” You might be asking yourself.
Here’s a big one that’s happening in less than a month!
Jan 20th. Free America Walkout. Women’s March, 50501, & More. Be There.
This is illegal and repugnant. Anti-American.
A thread of critical immigration coverage from our very own @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social 🧵:
The increase in military spending is a policy choice; it is the only way to avoid economic collapse.
“…New York City’s election was not a poll. It was a radical education in what’s possible, what workers really want, and who the working class really is. It was an education about capitalism that workers need.“ www.thenation.com/article/poli...
America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.
And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.
And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.
Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.
Vaccines have saved 154 million lives in the last 50 years. That’s 6 lives every minute. Say it with us: Vaccines are safe. Vaccines save lives.
Breaking news! A federal judge in Missoula ruled USFWS broke the law when it denied protections for gray wolves in the western U.S. The agency must now reconsider using the best available science. A major step forward for wolf recovery.
