The U.S Government is now threatening fellow NATO members with 10% tariffs, rising to 25% on 1st June, if we don’t hand Greenland to the mad Emperor in the White House. I wonder if most Americans even know this is happening? Under no circumstances should we cave to this economic warfare.

Sebastian is ready to listen. #caturday

Amazing that it takes a lawsuit simply to get ICE to obey the law.

It's startibg to leak out that trump is truly the lame duck we all know he is and Steven Miller is the true president in the shadows.

I found this very interesting perspective thread on FB.

“A federal judge on Friday barred federal agents in Minneapolis from arresting peaceful protesters, or using nonlethal munitions and crowd control tools against them.” www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

“He was just joking.” There is nothing funny about the sitting president “joking” about canceling elections.

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

We need to be done with this racist old cockwomble.

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

It's proper for citizens to be very disturbed and disheartened when the secret police is abducting people off the street and the president is threatening to shut down elections

"...Today’s organizers aren’t trying to make a point or a spectacle; they are primarily trying to save the lives of neighbors who would be consigned to an unbearable fate if ICE were to operate unimpeded."

The president is threatening the insurrection act on my city y'all. It's already in massive crisis. ICE needs to get OUT! Will this nightmare ever end?

This is really getting out of hand.

Because of fucking course he does.

It’s easy to watch the news and feel overwhelmed or even helpless at everything going on. I need you to fight that feeling. I’m an optimist. You have to be when you strap yourself to a rocket for a living. But there’s real reason to be hopeful this year and l’ll tell you why.

Simply horrifying. The whole of DHS has got to be disbanded. We did just fine without them before.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

I have had enough of these racist, xenophobic FUCKS.

America: Land of the Double Standard.

ICE doesn't give a shit; most of the people they recruit probably applied to the job so they could legally make their neighbors suffer and die.

"ICE also has openly stated that they plan to spy on the American public, looking for any signs of left-wing dissent against their domestic military-like presence." It was never about immigration enforcement; they're an unaccountable secret police.

Forget the dementia. Forget the bruised hands. THE MAN IS CLINICALLY INSANE!!!!

Yeah so anyway you're not getting discharged from the hospital the same day if you have internal bleeding in your torso. Even Grok knows that. LOL.

This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections

"This is what extrajudicial killing looks like when the federal government drops all pretense."

The insurrection act was always the end goal - I’ve been talking about this for months. He’s been trying to find a city that would push back enough to give him a (flimsy) excuse to do it

What is the end game for ICE? Terrorize one city and move to the next? How many "illegals" are they actually finding for all this effort? Seems like we should be hearing about high numbers being found but we are not because that's not what this seems to be about.

Shirley Jackson was right. No live organism can exist sanely for long under conditions of absolute reality.

"Trump and his Republican enablers want martial law. I said what I said. Bookmark this. It's what's coming."

And they wouldn't have given a ripe fuck if they had killed him. The only reason I don't say "fuck these guys" more is that the words would lose all meaning if I said them as often as circumstances require...

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

ICE is the American Gestapo. That is the reality of this country right now. The difference is this: unlike Nazi Germany, we have social media. We can see it, name it, organize against it. So let’s organize. Let’s resist. Let’s outnumber them, outlast them, and win.

So Tony Dokoupil apparently compared himself to Walter Cronkite. The only similarity is that they're both carbon-based forms of life. Is it wrong that I want to generate an AI image of Dokoupil fighting Dan Rather, Mortal Kombat-style?

"Renee Nicole Good was murdered by her own government. And the Justice Department’s response was to investigate her. That’s the country we live in now." At least the prosecutors who would have had to perform this travesty had the wherewithal to walk away. Good on them.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Remember: complying with "papers, please" gives them the opportunity to destroy your papers and take you anyway.

so Trump threatens Iran with action if they execute protestors while at home he says Renee Good was disrespectful so apparently deserved to be shot dead, brain working all good, brain all A-Ok

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship. We good with that, America? I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.

if republicans are gonna run as democrats in the upcoming elections then socialists should run as republicans and co-opt that party

*sees that 'Donald Trump' is trending* *gets momentary spike of hope* Oh. It's not an obit. Fuck.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting. Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

DJT's real message: American Patriots, STOP PROTESTING- WE HAVE TAKEN OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!! We are killers & abusers. We will pay no price. I have cancelled all meetings with Democratic officials until we kill all the protesters. DEATH IS ON ITS WAY. MAGA????

It doesn't matter if it's illegal or not; he's going to do it, and everyone else has to catch up and figure what the hell to do about it (not that anyone's done much of anything to stop this bastard at any point).

I disagree that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". That sentiment unfairly minimizes the morality of intentions.

Is it possible that rather than the systematic destruction of our democracy being a distraction from the release of the #EpsteinFiles, the files themselves are the distraction? Asking because I’m increasingly convinced their full, unredacted release still wouldn’t do jack squat to rid us of Trump.
