Since 1974 I've lived by a bend of the river, 90 miles from New York City, on the forested edge of the Bos-Wash Corridor. I settled in among the bears and the eagles and raised two children to swim like the fishes.

“WA Senate passes bill barring masked law enforcement” https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/wa-senate-passes-bill-barring-masked-law-enforcement/
The feds will sue if/when state enforces a law like this against them. But every state should pass such a law. The American Civil War II demands legislation like this from every state committed to fighting Republican Fascism.

This is honestly the best thing I have read about the US in months. We look from abroad and wonder where the hope is. Read this. Now.
NEW: I was one of only 3 reporters granted access to a convening of 600+ clergy in Minneapolis this week.
It was a striking show of solidarity with local clergy who have been resisting ICE, but the gathering also heralded something else: the emergence of a vast, faith-based network trained to resist ICE. https://religionnews.com/2026/01/23/inside-the-effort-to-organize-clergy-nationwide-to-resist-ice-minneapolis/
Fair play to Minneapolis. This is the fight back the whole US needs.

Update on the AI nonsense with ICE videos—
It looks like someone is adding in material to real videos now. I have found source videos for both things I saw yesterday. Not sure why, but there it is.
The videos of ICE being arrested by NYPD are short, badly done, and old. Some of the newer ones are minutes long, and most of the footage appears to be legitimate.
Regardless, the important thing to remember is that ICE is actually beating and killing people on our streets.
