Over five million people protested against the regime in June.
More than seven million people took to the streets in October.
March 28 will be even bigger, with nearly 3,000 events already on the No Kings Day map. Be part of the largest protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
March truly comes in like a lion for elections, and @taniel.bsky.social has a must-read guide on the MANY key races to watch next month.
NEW: Major, BFD action by blue states standing up to ICE.
Maryland, on Tuesday, banned local law enforcement from being part of ICE's notorious 287(g) program.
That automatically forces *9* sheriffs out of their ICE contract!
And New Mexico did the same last week:
Sheriff races are so important and often overlooked!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s “stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.” www.startribune.com/chris-madel-...
Also, uh, we have more than 100,000 people registered for this ICE watch training tonight. Largest training of it type in history by a long shot. Please join if you've not be trained yet, and share to friends/fam/neighbors!
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
This is a direct consequence of the power grab in December 2024 that saw the GOP flip control of the election board despite election results: boltsmag.org/north-caroli...

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
Local elections matter!
Just hours before a federal immigration officer killed Renee Good in her car, Brian O’Hara, the Minneapolis police chief, warned that a tragedy involving ICE seemed inevitable. Have a listen to Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara on today's episode of The Daily. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Redistricting is the fight shaping 2026. Trump-aligned lawmakers are racing to draw new congressional maps to lock in control of the House before voters can have a say. Swing Left is tracking every change—and making sure our collective efforts meet the moment.
Help us get “Lullaby” to number 1 before Christmas!
An incredible group of UK & Palestinian musicians came together to release this song. All of the profits will go to Palestine Children's Relief Fund and Palestine Medical Relief Service, among others.

These 6 swing states are the Democrats’ best chance to take control of the Senate in 2026.
Democrats in ALL 50 STATES need to support these races.
This is the only path to flipping the Senate.

The regime did everything in its power to rig the congressional maps in Indiana — and lost.
Even in deep-red territory, we are not powerless. Thank you to @indivisiblenei.bsky.social and everybody else who is fighting back (and winning) from inside the machine.
Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!
Folks, this redistricting landscape is as confusing as it is outrageous. The VRA case. CA. TX. UT. FL. VA. IN. NC. MD... So, at Bolts we're doing a reader Q&A to answer some of your questions.
But to do that, we need to know what's perplexing you most, what you're left wondering.
