Cartoonists are chronicling the madness of this moment in real time.

New episode today, with @pete.lcv.org, President of @lcv.org, about 30+ years of building environmental power — and how the movement needs to think differently right now.

"Everybody needs hope and heroes." A great conversation.

congratulations rev!

Hope isn’t optimism.

“It will work out” ≠ “We can make this work out.”

In this episode, Kristen Grimm of Spitfire Strategies breaks down how advocacy campaigns can win in a fractured media environment — and why trust matters more than going viral.

“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.

At least one Meta employee thinks it's a good time to add facial recognition technology to glasses because we're too distracted by fascism to effectively protest www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

ICE agents beat, shot & killed another person in Minneapolis.

Masked ICE agents are attacking & executing people in broad daylight.

DHS must get ICE off our streets & the Senate must immediately remove additional funding for DHS in the current spending bill.

The EPA has stopped using the number of lives saved as a benchmark for air pollution rules.

Their new plan? Calculate the cost to INDUSTRY when setting pollution limits.

Trump's EPA cares more about profits than human lives.

This is repulsive.

What stops an anti-immigrant bill in its tracks?
A fierce coalition, a powerful narrative, and a lot of phone calls.

New TCS episode w/ Hamp Price (@tnimmigrant) & Anika Fassia (@wemakethefuture.us) on the inside story from Tennessee.

“ICE is abducting people” is a message.
A video of it happening? That’s narrative power.

New pod w/ @jiggygero.bsky.social on messaging, emotions, fascism & how we fight back.

Contact every Democratic US Senator.

Make one thing clear:
Accepting a "deal" to end the #shutdown that doesn't include saving the #ACA subsidies will be a career ending decision

Trump administration ordered to pay full $9B in November SNAP benefits amid shutdown • Minnesota Reformer That means the maximum monthly benefit likely would be roughly two-thirds of the usual benefit flowing to recipients, rather than the half initially projected.

A federal judge said the federal government blew its chance to pay partial SNAP benefits and now must pay them in full. "USDA refused to use the congressionally mandated contingency funds. USDA cannot now cry that it cannot get timely payments to beneficiaries." minnesotareformer.com/2025/11/06/r...

Three people in frog costumes stand outside the Portland ice facility at night. They’re holding a sign that says frog brigade

Tonight in “war ravaged” Portland… a frog brigade standing guard outside the ICE facility.

Trump says there’s “nowhere worse than Portland”… and the frogs magically multiply.

They’re showing that he’s not only a liar, but Portland is still safe, still weird and still full of people resisting.

NO KINGS North Bethesda · No Kings **In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.** Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us. _A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events._

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS North Bethesda” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
