We’re honored the city was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize – and it’s because of your courageous solidarity to promote democracy, human rights and peace.
- Reposted by Rich SwintonEveryone has always wanted one thing: justice. We want the people involved charged or removed from public life. Instead we are treated to this parade of disclosures handled in the worst way possible, all of which are being controlled by the administration of a child rapist.

- Reposted by Rich SwintonICE at every polling place? Not nearly enough goons. Refuse to seat winners? No mechanism and would crash markets. Lie about the vote, falsely claim fraud? Very safe bet. Seize ballot boxes in certain locations? Worryingly plausible, as @rickhasen.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social explain.
- Trump's FBI raid in Georgia is potential model for getting search warrant to seize 2026 ballot boxes, says @rickhasen.bsky.social. "Once those ballots are out of control of election officials we’ve lost chain of custody." On the pod Rick illuminatingly explains all: newrepublic.com/article/2062...

- Reposted by Rich SwintonThis is my friends’ 73-year-old dad. He was protesting against DHS’s murder of Alex Pretti when ICE goons broke his jaw in three places with a flashbang grenade. “I wanted to go [back to protest] this morning. … they need to be told that what they’re doing ain’t going to happen here.”
- The same day that Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez killed Alex Pretti, a northeast neighbor was severely injured by a flash bang grenade in South Minneapolis. His jaw was shattered. Fully lethal, “less lethal.” Doesn’t matter. Abolish ICE www.mynortheaster.com/news/ne-resi...

- Reposted by Rich SwintonNew, from me: Trump finalized his Schedule F policy, allowing him to remove job protections from career civil servants. The new rule is dishonest and unmoored from reality in its effort to formalize the politicization of the federal government 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trumps-sch...
