The shadow cabinet idea was a great idea and should have been implemented a year ago. Would have presented an organized, unified response to the chaos, issue by issue, by people with expertise.

As @atomicanalyst.bsky.social pointed out in the replies here, the DNC actually said they were going to do this and then did basically nothing.

People really really downplay dental health. Cavities are not the worse case scenario here. Poor oral health can kill you

Wanna know something? Right before migrants get loaded onto an ICE removal flight, they return their gray jumpsuit and get deported in whatever they were wearing when captured. Have heard from many migrants that the planes are freezing and some shackled people are in summer tank tops and flip flops.

WHERE IS OUR MAMDANI?? www.chicagotribune.com/2026/01/18/w...

one of the other theories i like that i think has weight is this one

Too bad no one can show this to trump

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

This is a very good point. The November 2025 US National Security Strategy never mentions the Arctic at all. The idea that it's a genuine security priority for the Trump administration is not credible.

Nasra Ahmed, 23, was walking through the parking lot of her aunt’s St. Paul apartment complex when she found herself surrounded by 12 agents. Ahmed, born in the USA, says she showed them her I.D. She was forcefully detained and jailed anyway for more than 2 days. www.twincities.com/2026/01/18/s...

Update: The admin is moving to quickly deport witnesses who saw ICE detainee die. They say the man was just trying to get his meds. ICE guards shackled him Then they choked him. The admin moved to deport the witnesses — right after they spoke to WaPo. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

the majority of the activity doesn't even seem remotely protest-related! it's just convoys of goons driving all over the place trying to kidnap every person who doesn't have white skin and a bunch of people following them around making noise to prevent this

Weird that threatening to arrest and deport the staff at your hotel might result in the hotel closing. Who'd have thunk?

Three of these folks were let back on Twitter by Musk after he bought it

A third immigrant held at Camp East Montana has died, reportedly by suicide. Victor Manuel Díaz was detained in Minnesota. He is the sixth migrant to die since Jan. 1 in ICE detention. My story: www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

We've heard a number of reports now of DHS agents at Whipple confiscating arrestees' phones and refusing to return them. Talked with a guy several nights ago who said they wouldn't give his back, and there were more reports of it last night. Just something to keep in mind/be aware of.

the u.s. is now a russian client state

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

Participation trophies, honorable mention ribbons, certificates from a Jiffy Lube, just send them all

This is blatant corruption by an obvious criminal. The longer we tolerate it, the greedier the dictator gets.

FWIW, people suffering from Liquid Glass, the transparency setting you want isn’t the one that adjusts tint but the one for display under the Accessibility settings

The press made W. Bush take quizes to make sure he knew the world leaders.

"There comes a point where we have to start questioning whether or not he’s actually aware of what’s happening around him & the harm he’s doing. It’s similar to historical figures like Nero or Caligula. Their madness took over & they started doing wildly destructive things. Trump is in that place."

From an optics perspective... the protesters being the ones waving the US flag while Bovino et al looks like every awful nazi inspired movie we've ever seen... hats off to Minnesotans.

When South Korea successfully stopped a coup, arrested the former president, and prosecuted him, it sent a very strong message to everyone else: "You can trust that 4 years from now, you won't have to worry about him returning and fucking everything up." The US under Biden did the exact opposite.

This week’s Just for Skeets and Giggles is out! Have a great weekend. open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

Hes going to war over this!?! And NO ONE is talking seriously about the 25th amendment? This is nuts

Trump just placed a tariff on most of the EU of 10% that will increase to 25% in June unless they agree to sell him Greenland. This is mad king shit.

This is quickly approaching nazi Germany annexing Austria territory. At a certain point, Europe will need to stand up and push back or we will end up in a major war.

there were - a lot - of cardinals out yesterday. apparently this tree was a #perfectperch #birdoftheday #birdsseenin2026

Nick Miroff: After 9/11, George W. Bush created the Department of Homeland Security to prevent future terror strikes. Now DHS shifted from defending the country against foreign terrorists to deploying agents on American streets for the purpose of terrorizing American citizens.

When Democrats folded in the last government shutdown—rescuing the GOP majority from itself and helping them pass a budget, giving validation to the Trump administration’s lawbreaking—the savvy politics knowers explained that folding was clearly worth it because it got the Epstein Files released.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

"I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down." ~ Mitch Hedberg (Lucca, Italy)

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

425 years ago a cat makes a friend. In exchange, the cat gets to live forever.

Again- why is this guy, who hasn’t done anything in 30 years, still a thing?

What would be really funny is if Machado used a 3D printer to replicate the medal and used someone’s color copier for the proclamations and had all the dupes then framed.

Heard from a public school staffer. ICE agents follow school buses on their afternoon routes & target some parents picking up kids from bus stops. If ICE knew anything abt particular parents, they'd go to homes. Seems they're just leveraging kids' vulnerability & mixing with racial profiling.

President Trump bought more than $1 million worth of corporate bonds from Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery only weeks after the media giants announced a $83 billion merger deal that could reshape Hollywood.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Literally begging for help to save civilian lives from being murdered while Trump blames Ukraine, threatens Greenland, plays golf for the next 4 days, and Witkoff and Kushner negotiate deals with Putin.
