As 2025 comes to a close, I'm continuing a tradition that I started during my time in the White House: sharing my annual lists of favorite books, movies, and music. I hope you find something new to enjoy—and please send any recommendations for me to check out!

This is a damning piece about a torture prison that is being used by the Trump administration. That’s why the piece was pulled. All Americans deserve to see this story. Shame on Bari Weiss.

Finally, the United States is waking up 🚨 Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line, and it matters more than most people seem to realize. “If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional

This is rough to watch. A physician tries to get ICE to stop the bleeding and they ignore him. He tries to help her himself and they draw guns on him and tell him to back the fuck up. It’s their duty to provide aid.

Must watch: NYT just released a damning forensic analysis of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. It flatly refutes Trump administration claims — confirming the motorist was driving away, not toward the officer, and the officer was not hit by the vehicle. nytimes.com/video/us/10000…

🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents were filmed assaulting U.S. citizens outside a HIGH SCHOOL in Minneapolis, pepper-spraying students as agents swarmed the school entrance. Let that sink in. School administrators and staff desperately tried to get agents off school property,

Take a moment and listen - TY to Scott Simon for this wonderfully orated, nationally award winning poem by Renee Good. wypr.org/2026-01-10/opi…

Minnesota Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. And yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone behind me here

Seth Moulton just went scorched earth on ICE: “You are cowards… pathetic, untrained, unprofessional cowards.” And he didn’t stop at “defund.” He named Todd Lyons and said ICE needs to be PROSECUTED. That’s where we are now.

Chris Murphy 🟧 (@chrismurphyct) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

When Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis, he says he was detained and shackled for hours. “We're turning into something that I can't even begin to respect, and something that I literally went to war—or they told me I went to war—to fight

Thank you for the education on the weapons ICE is carrying‼️ The scariest part is that we all watched Alex Pretti and Rene Good get murdered and our government literally said "no, you didn't."

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read. nytimes.com/2026/01/30/opi…

Anjanette Young, a social worker who was handcuffed while naked during a botched raid in February 2019, says she is frustrated with a new CPD policy that does not ban officers from serving no-knock warrants or pointing guns at children during raids. to.wttw.com/46jdIWE

Filmmaker David Lynch's Diagram for Transcendental Consciousness is one of the greatest, easiest to understand explanations for how our reality is made of MIND first, MATTER second. I promise this is genuinely worth your time. It's fantastic.
