Evening, folks (morning? It's 1am).

Thanks for bearing with some goofs and hiccups in videos today. I have had the worst bout of food poisoning (hence filming from bed today), but I kept some plain pasta down for dinner! So, progress!

Just some corrections since I can't edit ...and also maybe filming while sick = more prone to error and I should try to take steps to prevent both:

1. In the video on the Minnesota pastor who works for ICE being called out in church today: the video was put out by independent journalist Georgia Fort. The speaker in the video is Rev Nekima Levy Armstrong.
Journalist Don Lemon is also featured and I believe the entire protest was live-streamed on his socials if you want to watch the whole thing. Learn more about the Reverend here:

www.nekimalevyarmstrong.com/

The regime is now saying they are investigating and want to prosecute the protestors today. This is a threat meant to chill dissent. We must stay courageous in these times when the regime is terrified of people having rights and is weaponizing the Dept of Justice against Americans.

2. I have a video on Kristi Noem coming out early in the morning and I called the program she was on Meet the Press. It wasn't. It's Face the Nation. My brain was just misfiring a bit.

Ok, off to knit for a bit and then bed. Loads of protests tomorrow, so be safe and get up to good trouble out there, folks!

Good evening, folks! I'm riding the struggle bus a bit today, but I'm sitting down to film in a few minutes.

Please don't forget there are MLK Day protests all over the country tomorrow! Get connected!

Also, MN unions are calling for a general strike Jan 23. I'll be talking about it more in a bit, but you can learn more here: labornotes.org/2026/01/will-ice-ignite-mass-strike…

I forgot to share earlier ...what made you smile today? What made you laugh?

Mine was Martha being soooooo photogenic this morning, catching that sunbeam. She's adorable, I promise. But the minute you break out the camera...

Ok, I just showed Ruth this photo and now we are both cracking up. Ruth: "Why are you bullying her? She's a sweet lovely angel baby." But she can't get through the sentence without us both doubling over laughing. 😂😂😂

Laughter is healing! And so is rest! Sleep well, everyone.

With all kindness: I’m going to start hiding comments from people who treat social media creators, pundits, influencers as if they are infallible, as if they are oracles.

I don’t think it’s healthy for any of us to make cults of personality out of people you watch on your phone. It’s also not healthy for the resistance to only listen to one or two voices. This is why I am always pushing back against people who tell me that I am “the source“ or “the one person“ that they listen to. It’s really good to have a diversity of perspectives and not limit ourselves and we are all human and flawed and have areas where we are biased and blind and ignorant and just wrong.

In fact, I’d be interested to know who the newer voices are that you are listening to? Who is somebody whose ideas intrigue you and you want to learn more? Who is challenging you?

Good morning! I just got home from Senator Jeff Merkley's town hall. I ran into my friend Rosemary on the Max! We got to sit together and hear the senator answer questions.

I need to get some lunch and I have a few videos I filmed late yesterday that I still need to publish, but I want to do a comprehensive breakdown of the Townhall today because I think there were a number of incredibly important issues that were covered.

Hang in there with me! I need to snag some lunch and then I'll get to work.

A fair warning, I plan on posting some vids with clips of ICE conduct in Minneapolis. They aren't easy to watch, but I am trying to position them within context and use them in a way that helps illustrate points.

This evening and tomorrow, I also plan to balance those videos with important positive news, so don't worry, I'm not in a doom spiral and I'm not trying to freak you out.

It's always that balance of walking the line between "we bear witness and are moved to act" but not so far as "we are freaked out and shut down."

Sorry to be short on posts today, folks. Migraine life giving me a bit of trouble. Hope to get 1-2 vids out tonight. There's so much I want to talk about, but I'm waiting for meds to kick in better.

I've been thinking a lot today about our friends in Minneapolis, and absolutely awed by them, as they let their courage light them from within. So many good people are facing the darkness and not only refusing to succumb to it, but pushing it back with love and justice and humanity and resistance.

If you wait for other people to light you up, then I guess you're at the mercy of darkness. " - Katherine Center

Ok, more in a bit, friends.

From ‪@eliza.orlins‬
PLEASE REPORT THIS GOFUNDME IMMEDIATELY.

I reported the GoFundMe fundraiser raising money for the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good.

Here’s what I wrote in the report (feel free to use!):

I am reporting this fundraiser because it appears to support or glorify an officer who is alleged to have fatally shot a civilian in a controversial incident.

Public reporting of this case indicates the event is under active investigation and contested. A fundraiser praising or financially supporting someone involved in a violent incident may violate GoFundMe’s policies against supporting violence or criminal activity.

I request review under GoFundMe’s terms prohibiting promotion of illegal activity, violence, or harassment.

The fundraiser’s description includes language that seems to justify or endorse violence against a civilian and directly solicits funds for legal defense. I believe this could violate policies against supporting harmful acts or activity that promotes harm.
