        Dear Sen / Rep --

        We have seen the testimony of Todd Lyons (the acting head of ICE), Rodney Scott (the head of CBP), and Citizenship and Immigration Services director Joseph Edlow.

        They do not think their employees are doing anything wrong. I do, and I want to know what you are going to do now.

        The stories continue of 70 people crammed in a tiny cell with limited food and water for weeks at a time. DHS officers are beating people, breaking bones, zip tying teenagers, denying access to lawyers, and ignoring court orders. No one holds DHS accountable for the violence and the violations of the Constitution.

        We see refugees and documented asylum seekers held incommunicado for weeks despite being legally in this country. No one holds DHS accountable for this.

        I see Republicans in Congress respond by seeking legislation to punish Americans exercising their First Amendment rights.

        I want to know your plan. Do we let DHS continue to trample the Constitution? Do we green-light Republican plans to crack down on free speech?

        The people are in the streets demanding change. I write to you constantly demanding change.

        Defend the Constitution. This Republican Administration sees no need for DHS reform. We the people do.

        Which side are you on?

            🚨🚨🚨Resist and Unsubscribe🚨🚨🚨

            Americans are feeling powerless to thwart the Trump administration’s assault on our nation’s values.

            Praised by tech CEOs, surrounded by sycophants, and enriched by his return to the White House, the president’s actions march on unchecked.

            Americans, however, have a powerful weapon that has been hiding in plain sight.

            resistandunsubscribe.com

            Text Shot: First, we must recognize that the president is unfazed by citizen outrage, the courts, or the media. He responds to one thing: the market. The most potent weapon to resist the administration is a targeted, month-long national economic strike — a coordinated campaign that attacks tech companies and firms enabling ICE  — to inflict maximum damage with minimal impact on consumers. In sum, the shortest path to change without hurting consumers is an economic strike targeted at the companies driving the markets and enabling our president.

                Dear Senator / Representative --

                I would like an explanation as to why the high-powered supercomputing facility used to run advanced forecasting and climate models is being (according to this Republican Administration) "transferred to an outside entity."

                This supercomputer is essential to forecasting extreme weather and dangerous aviation turbulence, and it is used by roughly 1,500 researchers from more than 500 universities nationwide.

                This supercomputing facility, which was paid for using my tax dollars, is essential for simulating weather systems and testing forecast models — work that ultimately helps improve the accuracy of the forecasts Americans rely on daily.

                I want this supercomputer facility remain in public, not private hands. Please tell this Republican Administration to cease any planned transfer. Pass legislation keeping this critical facility in government hands.

                          In a secret deportation arrangement, the Trump administration flew nine people, nearly all of whom had been granted U.S. court protections from being sent back to their home countries, to the African nation of Cameroon in January.

                          Several of the men and women deported — whose cases have not been previously reported — told The Times they did not know they were being sent to Cameroon until they were handcuffed and chained on a Department of Homeland Security flight leaving Alexandria, La., on Jan. 14.

                                      Dear Senator:

                                      As Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) noted on Thursday, “Not only does the U.S. Constitution clearly provide states the authority to regulate the ‘times, places, and manner’ of holding federal elections, but one-size-fits-all mandates from Washington, D.C., seldom work in places like Alaska.”

                                      Join Sen. Murkowski: vote NO on the 2026 SAVE Act.

                                      Its premise, that there is widespread voting by non-citizens, has been thoroughly debunked. Fraudulent votes of all types (including a spouse voting for a recently deceased partner) represented less than 0.002 percent of all votes cast in six battleground states in 2020, according to an AP analysis. That’s roughly 475 fraudulent votes out of 25 million cast—and existing local systems caught the erroneous ballots.

                                      Under the SAVE Act, an estimated 69 million women and 4 million men have legal names that do not match their birth certificates due to marriage, divorce, or other life changes. While an estimated half of all White Americans hold a valid US passport, only about one-third of people of color do.

                                        Nothing is forever. No trend continues ever upward. We're learning the skills and fortitude we need. We're self-organizing against the shape that collective trauma has forced us into.

                                        This too shall pass.

                                        Then imagine the world we'll be able to build with the momentum.

                                            Today's email is about the ODNI and elections. Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative. Please share with friends. congress.gov/contact-us

                                            Dear Senator/Representative:

                                            I am writing to request oversight of recent activities by the Director of National Intelligence that raise questions about boundaries between intelligence operations and domestic election administration.

                                            DNI Tulsi Gabbard directed investigations into voting equipment in Puerto Rico because of alleged interference by Venezuela, and she coordinated with the FBI to obtain 2020 ballots from Fulton County, Georgia, despite those results being validated by recounts and judicial review.

                                            This is not the DNI's job. The DNI's statutory role focuses on foreign intelligence, not investigating domestic election administration. This is an unprecedented expansion of authority.

                                            The FBI's removal of 2020 ballots from Fulton County broke the chain of custody for legally preserved election materials and relied upon a warrant that repeated discredited conspiracy theories. Gabbard's presence during this operation and her coordination of a phone call between the President and agents—an involvement the parties describe differently—demands explanation.

                                            As we approach the 2026 elections, maintaining clear boundaries and public trust is essential. I hope you will support appropriate Congressional oversight.

                                            Your constituents are watching. Please act soon.

                                                                      In 1981, when President Reagan cut funding for mental hospitals, he rightly claimed that people would be better served by small, community-based clinics. There was a plan at the time for every community to have one mental health/addiction focused in-patient bed for every 5,000 residents. The Republican Party at the time hailed the plan, then never funded it., so it never happened.

                                                                      HHS Secretary in the meantime is advancing a vision of abstinence-only recovery, while simultaneously rejecting harm-reduction and housing-first strategies that have been shown to create stability, trust, and sustained engagement in care.

                                                                      We cannot keep putting band-aids on this problem of a fragmented healthcare system.

                                                                      Please draft a comprehensive overhaul of our healthcare system that includes adequate services for those with addiction and mental illness. Please make sure everyone has a secure, sheltered place to sleep. The $19 billion annual ICE budget would more than cover the cost.

                                                                          Among other changes to the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA), the bill would limit the type of science that is used to determine health risks, stop legally requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure chemicals won’t harm people, give industry a prominent role in chemical review processes, and make it more difficult legally for the agency to ban toxic substances.

                                                                              I am reading the legal documents showing the 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases in Minnesota in January. Yes, you read that right. In one month, in one state, ICE has violated 96 different court orders.

                                                                              The detention without lawful authority is a profound constitutional injury that unfairly falls on the heads of those who have done nothing wrong to justify it. The overwhelming majority of the hundreds seen by the Minnesota District Court have been found to be lawfully present as in the country, yet they are still detained for weeks. They are transferred to Texas within hours of their arrest, then languish there for weeks before being released.

                                                                              Is the Constitution dead? What else could it mean when a federal agency can violate a court order with no consequence from Congress?

                                                                              This must stop. I don't want anyone in Congress getting any rest until you fix this situation.

The government has also taken down signs at national parks mentioning slavery and references to Trump's impeachments and presidency at the National Portrait Gallery.

                                                                                          The White House has also launched a revisionist history account of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and has replaced the government's coronavirus resource sites with a page titled "Lab Leak: The True Origins of Covid-19."

                                                                                                  President Trump has called for Republicans to “nationalize the voting.” This is a direct threat to constitutional governance, and your constituents need to hear you defend the Constitution loudly and repeatedly.

                                                                                                  I’m not arguing policy. At issue is a fundamental question of whether we'll honor the constitutional structure that delegates election administration to the states. That authority cannot be seized by executive fiat or even congressional action; it can happen only by amending the Constitution itself.

                                                                                                  The pretext for this power grab—claims of widespread voting by non-citizens—has been thoroughly debunked. A Brookings analysis of Heritage Foundation data reveals the truth: for example, in a 25-year period in Arizona, 36 fraudulent votes accounted for 0.0000845% of ballots cast across 36 elections. Voter fraud is not altering election outcomes.

                                                                                                  The federal government, via laws and court rulings, has limited authority over federal elections. Our state and local officials run secure elections. What we urgently need are leaders willing to say so publicly and to draw a clear line against unconstitutional federal overreach.

                                                                                                  Will you honor your oath of office and commit to speaking out against efforts to centralize election authority in defiance of the Constitution?

A US Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes, without muttering a word, that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was (quote) 'done by a few people, and you cannot blame us all.' And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said, 'this was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.' The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought, 'how is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'this site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew--as we do--that we are all responsible for what happens in our community."

                                                                                                                            They’ll create a steady drumbeat of allegations and investigations into voting, accompanied FBI and Justice Department seizures of voter rolls. At the same time, ICE and Border Patrol raids ramp up. All of it centered on American cities where most Democratic voters live.

                                                                                                                            Is it too far-fetched to believe that this is Trump’s strategy? Remember, this is the man who summoned supporters to Washington and encouraged them to attack the U.S. Capitol.

                                                                                                                            He doesn’t need Republicans in Congress or the Supreme Court. This time, he’ll unleash the investigative, enforcement, and police powers of the executive branch on American cities to intimidate Democratic voters — or cause them to become so cynical about the whole voting process that they don’t vote.

                                                                                                                            I believe this is exactly what he’s attempting to do.

                                                                                                                            So what should we do? Fight back.

                                                                                                                            We need to make sure our states, cities, and counties are doing everything possible to protect the election process, election machines, and ballots."

Once again unilaterally governing via his digital network, Truth Social, Trump announced Sunday night that he would close the Kennedy Center July 4, 2026 for a two year “renovation.”

                                                                                                                              The Kennedy Center requires no structural overhaul. Congress provides its capital and maintenance budget annually and would be aware of any such needs. I am concerned about exceeding authority as well as precedent: if this president can rename and redesign a Congressional memorial without authorization, to what might other presidents apply similar overreach?

                                                                                                                              I urge you to join Representative Joyce Beatty in reasserting Congressional oversight and halting these unauthorized actions. The Kennedy Center deserves to remain what Congress intended: a dignified memorial and cultural institution for all Americans not a gilded monstrosity more aligned with the Las Vegas strip, which would reflect the President’s well-known aesthetic.

There's a bit of New Hampshire-specific info in it, but it's probably pretty broadly applicable.

                                                                                                                                      If states “can’t count the votes legally and honestly, then somebody else should take over,” he said in the Oval Office, accusing several Democratic-run cities of corruption. “Look at some of the places — that horrible corruption on elections — and the federal government should not allow that,” he added. “The federal government should get involved.”

                                                                                                                                      trump is pathetically stupid if he thinks people can't see why someone who tried to overthrow the 2020 election might want to control 'corrupt' elections.

Israel denies the allegation, and is fighting war crimes charges internationally.

You win a war of mass politics—you get enough of the mass of people to support your cause—and this carries you in to state power, which you use to consolidate and further that political project.

We live in Tennessee...a state that has self-knighted as the "blueprint" for ICE/DHS/CBP (and we have actual neo-nazi training camps here). After I hung up, I heard Kamala Harris' chant, "When we fight, WE WIN!" Minneapolis, Portland, LA, Memphis. They are fighting. Fighting for them and fighting for America. They have already won by virtue of resisting fascism.

And the wave of people who have been set free has upended the Trump administration’s effort to keep detained immigrants locked up indefinitely, even if they do not pose a public safety threat.

These reversals are very important. It is important to consider this carefully.

                                                                                                                                                                    First, Vance reported that the Nazi propaganda campaign that he had himself inspired amounted to factual evidence. Mental chaos has been created where there was none before. And then that mental chaos becomes the justification for physical chaos: Trump’s “large deportations,” ICE raids that will, in fact, wreck an improving local economy. And once that physical chaos has been created, it will be blamed on the immigrants who are no longer there. Most of this has already played out. A key threshold, which it appears that we are about to cross, is the application of the state violence. At that point, so to speak, the lie is supposed to become “true.”

To all appearances, and according to local sources, the city is two or three days away from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. The destined victims are ten thousand or more Haitians.
                                                                                                                                                                      From Timothy Snyder's substack. Note the use of the phrases "ethnic cleansing" and "hate campaign", which are accurate. Snyder later states, regarding his use of the word "Nazi", "I use the word advisedly". It's well worth reading what he says about that. J.D. Vance's words led to a self-professed US Nazi group terrorizing Springfield Ohio. Snyder spells out how the hyperreality--the non-existent parallel and false world Vance set in motion and then Trump amplified--is turning into real-world consequences for real people.

I'll paraphrase him, so errors and omissions are mine.

                                                                                                                                                                        Here's one point: masked thugs in mismatched camo are breaking laws that include abducting, assaulting, and executing people, and the regime is attempting to force us all to refer to this as "law enforcement". For all the many criticisms one might aim at US law enforcement, members typically wear blue, show their faces, and doctrinally aspire to behave transparently and professionally (please don't @ me with your critiques of law enforcement or hashtag ACAB comments; this is not meant as a defense, only a contrast. I've been beaten and teargassed by cops and witnessed far worse so I am acquainted with this aspect of US "law enforcement").

                                                                                                                                                                        In other words the regime is attempting to change consensus reality so that Americans accept that the phrase "law enforcement" includes random, unprovoked breaking and entering by heavily armed masked men into homes or vehicles, assaults, and summary executions on the street, targeting all citizens. They want this to be a normal and accepted occurrence anywhere and at any time. Much as one might criticize previous administration's immigration policies---and one might really really criticize those---this attempt to shift consensus on "law enforcement" to include summary executions of anyone and all the rest is new (It is not new for certain groups; what I think Snyder is saying is that it'd be new for everyone to be targeted in this way, and for most people to accept that's just how it is now).

                                                                                                                                                                        Snyder also points out that the border plays an important role here because it is where the country, and therefore the law, ends. In other words, it's not coincidental that the regime chose to elevate ICE. Historically, authoritarian regimes have a marked tendency to expand the lawlessness and indefiniteness of border zones to include the entire territory of the country, and the current regime is no different. Immigrants and immigration aren't the only targets here. The larger aim is to indefinitely suspend the rule of law nationwide by making the entire nation into a border zone (Recall the Texas governor kidnapping immigrants and shipping them to "blue states", a classic attempt to spread resentment of immigrants throughout the country). Again, this is a narrative move, an attempt to shift consensus reality.

                                                                                                                                                                        So, one way to resist is to simply not accept either of these attempts to change reality. Continue to refer to what's happening as unacceptable, not who we are, etc. Continue to point out that out of control border "enforcement" has led to street executions. Continue to name these actions as the criminal acts of thugs. Continue to pressure people with power, such as lawmakers, to do the same. Not out of some misguided or naive nationalism or patriotism, but in order to keep a stake firmly planted in the ground against the forces attempting to move it. This is something we can all do.

                                                                                                                                                                        Incidentally, all eyes on Haitian and Haitian-American people in Ohio over the coming weeks. The Haiti Temporary Protected Status designation ends this coming Tuesday, February 3, 2026. Haitians in Springfield were specifically abused during the Trump campaign. The US has a long history of abusing and dehumanizing Haitians dating back at least to Thomas Jefferson, so the Trump campaign rhetoric was no outlier or anomaly. Haiti is also one of the countries specifically named in the US State Dept's announcement about indefinitely halting immigrant visa processing. It would not be surprising if the next ICE "surge" targeted Haitian immigrants in Ohio given how the groundwork's been laid.

Basically it means no ethical or sustainable law, order, peace or security, but decentralisation to centralise the harvesting of essential resources so as to eliminate all resistance. It is the War of Worlds in real time; the real aliens are the corporate bunker barons who have taken over governments. By centralising the power of criminal wealth they profit from strip mining Earth to protect their programme of ecocide. Terraforming Earth, they can shed their fake skin to reveal the Fascist Morlocks they truly are. The last drop of blood is promised by them to turn into toxic ash, if not theirs first, their bet will fold or the people collect.

The president doesn’t care about citizens getting mad about his policies. He only cares about the stock market. So… here is an idea I think might actually work to create a lot of pain with the tech companies currently complicit in supporting the administration and force them to start pressuring republicans to do their damn jobs. In February, unsubscribe to as many of these services as you can. Email the company and tell them why. I am really looking forward to a new show on Apple but I’m going to cancel my Apple TV subscription because Tim Cook went to the screening of that stupid new movie just to kiss Trump’s ass. Pass it on. Edit: Scott is well known in economist circles and says he's already heard from some tech CEOs who are mad about this so it's an even better idea.
