Now, 8 years later, @Heritage just announced that Duda has joined The Heritage Foundation as a Distinguished Visiting Fellow.

@KevinRobertsTX is a disgrace.
I have archived the article for when Heritage Foundation tries to delete it.

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer - EP167: ICE UNDER SIEGE: Deadly Face Off In Minnesota

Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune - This is a positive development — one that I hope leads to turning down the temperature and restoring order in Minnesota.
I encourage local officials in Minnesota to work with the administration to keep communities safe and continue the important work of enforcing our laws and getting dangerous criminals off of America’s streets.

Lee Zeldin @epaleezeldin - Video: President Trump saved the coal industry. During a week like this, with temps this cold across the country, we are reminded just how much our nation needs MORE baseload power, not less.

Leigh Marcotte @labtechleigh - Diving deeper... my thread on Eric Ward's role as Exec Director of Western States Center (Portland) and Jill Garvey WSC Chief of Staff until in ~2024, when they cofounded States at the Core (fiscal sponsor is Hopewell Fund).
Western States is THE national hub for training and coordinating anti-ICE activities. WSC describes itself as the leader of the 21st century civil rights movement, and it includes national partners: FIght Back Table, a coalition that includes the "No Kings" groups; NEA; SPLC; Common Cause and more. Supported by big donors including Soros OSF, Ford Foundation, etc.
Sorry for the long thread(s), includes receipts.

Leigh Marcotte @labtechleigh - CONFIRMED: Eric K. Ward - former Executive Director of Western States Center (WSC), current Exec VP at Race Forward, former Senior Fellow at SPLC - is featured as a key speaker in today's (Jan 25, 2026) "Emergency ICE Watch Training" flyer/event by Defend the 612, in partnership with States at the Core (STAC) and Protect RP.
This training ties directly to Western States Center, where Ward was Executive Director in 2020 (until his 2025 transition to Senior Advisor).
-
The quote below was written by Eric Ward himself as Exec Dir of WSC in his June 2020 piece "Authoritarian State or Inclusive Democracy? 21 Things We Can Do Right Now" (published via WSC), just six days after George Floyd's murder.
-
Authoritarian State or Inclusive Democracy?
That was the question posed six days after George Floyd's murder ignited a global uprising for racial justice.
-
"America is on a precipice. Whether we go over the edge into the abyss of a full-blown authoritarian state or find firm ground on which to construct an inclusive democracy depends on what we do right now."

In 2026, these networked trainings (via WSC-linked leaders like Ward) frame community defense against federal enforcement as resistance to perceived authoritarian threats.

Follow Ward, Garvey, STAC, and Defend the 612 for coordination details. Pinned thread digs deeper into WSC donors and partners. Thread
