It hasn't even been a year since MN Democrats Melissa and Mark Hortman were murdered and John and Yvette Hoffman were injured in a politically motivated shooting spree. IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A YEAR. And it's only been weeks since POTUS used his social media to claim Tim Walz was responsible for it.

Ilhan Omar: “In the 4 years when Biden was president, my death threats went to almost zero — now they are back up — so there is a clear correlation between his presidency & the political violence that we see & the political danger that a lot of members of Congress & electeds feel across the country”

Ohhhhh boy.

Studies show that escalations in immigration enforcement make workplaces MORE dangerous for all workers (not just immigrants), lead to MORE minimum wage violations for all workers, and lead to FEWER jobs for US-born workers. I summarized the research here.

Before the next #NoKings Rally 👉 The No Kings coalition will be leading regular ICE watch trainings throughout the winter. 👉 Put pressure on Democrats to hold the line on reining in ICE and denying it a single additional penny in taxpayer funding. 👉 Exercise your First Amendment rights

Immigrants in the US consumed about 24% fewer welfare and entitlement benefits per capita than native-born Americans in 2023, new Cato Institute research finds. Learn more from Alex Nowrasteh and Jerome Famularo: https://ow.ly/2w4Z50Y4Bsj

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

Great. Now arrest the murderers and the leaders that authorized their actions Fuck off with anything less

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

Did Trump’s 2024 re-election make it okay to be openly prejudiced? New work from @chriscrandall.bsky.social suggests it did. The more negatively Trump spoke about a group, the more okay it became to express prejudice (and the more prejudiced people were) towards that group after the election.

Do we really have to go through some mandatory period where we all pretend that Homan is ANY better than Bovino? The man’s a scumbag, literally the architect of the family separation policy that abducted 5 year old Liam Ramos from his community in MN and put him in a concentration camp in TX.

It should be a career-ending journalistic failure to frame an issue like "sending fascist paramilitaries to murder civilians" as if it's something the perpetrator can just change their tone on. He's conciliatory? So fucking what? Resignation or impeachment, then tribunal, evidence, and sentence.

Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent

"Senator Chuck Grassley, a lifelong Iowan, has served on the Senate Judiciary Committee since 1981, when he was first sworn into the U.S. Senate." www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/chair He questioned and voted on every single justice on the U.S. Supreme Court during their confirmation hearings.

This is an impeachable statement. It should be a career-ending scandal to avoid a question, especially one of grave import and consequence, by claiming ignorance about the most basic fundamental aspect of your job.

“There is far more outrage from tech leaders over a wealth tax than masked ICE agents terrorizing communities and executing civilians in the streets,” OpenAI executive James Dyett wrote on X about industry leaders that have their priorities wrong.

If a non-citizen neighbor gets kidnapped by ICE, you supposedly have about 4-5 hours to file a habeas petition in Minnesota to prevent ICE from shipping people to Texas. They are moving people that quickly regardless of whether or not they have legal status.

Minneapolis has seen a stunning 1,646% spike in calls from families who can't pay rent because they're afraid to leave their homes to work. This is state violence manufacturing housing precarity in real time. People should not be facing eviction when their city is under occupation.

Economist/YouGov poll shows Trump's approval with White people: 47% approve 51% disapprove Hispanics: 27% 68% 18-29: 32% 63% Men: 43% 54% Women: 35% 60%

DHS agents committed the first and third homicide of 2026 in Minneapolis.

Crowd has dispersed, I'm back in my car. This video, to me, is emblematic of the evening. Minnesota cops protecting ICE while the agents lounge and look on, warm inside their hotel ICE commits state violence, and the state is by default on their side

I support this union’s demands to fire Noem and Miller — But find it surprising that both the perpetrators (likely) and Alex Pretti (confirmed) were members of this union …. And also strange that I’ve never heard of the American Federation of Government Employees before this

This is ICE’s standard threat assessment — ABOLISH ICE *and* this model of ridiculously skewed conception of who is a threat to whom

They aren’t backing down. They’re just threatening people in other cities. Still illegal. Still unconstitutional. Even if they haven’t yet backed it up by shooting someone in the face.

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.” www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leos-...

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

“Our demand is clear: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem... and Deputy WH Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them" AFGE National President Everett Kelley said in a statement. www.rawstory.com/trump-immigr...

It's worth noting that the ongoing normalisation of remigration plans in Europe is happening at a time when the Trump administration has turned "remigration" into an official national policy objective, and we can all witness the violence and illegality that this entails.

"Abolish ICE" is very literally the moderate position

Hell yeah, Minnesota! Solidarity to my (former) neighbors and colleagues!

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

We've raised a lot of money for my school community neighbors. And I predict all of it will be depleted by the end of this week. If you're in a position to donate, please help: paypal.me/lyndalepto (donations are tax deductible) 3/3

One thing that strikes me is how, in contrast to all the alpha male posturing of Trump and his coterie, or the ICE agents in their combat gear, real courage in the face of real danger is being demonstrated by a bunch of old ladies, nurses, and other assorted citizens on the streets of Minneapolis.

part of why we are driving ICE absolutely mad is that we are using tactics that do not really permit them to legally arrest us. they cannot operate the way they want to operate when we have eyes on them. they want to be a secret police and we simply will not let them be secret

This is absolutely something to watch and has the potential to be a critical turning point. Regardless of what you think of US law enforcement, they are acutely aware of when their legitimacy is being threatened, and ICE has done more damage to them in the past year than anything I've ever seen.

My old college classmate, a part-time TikTok influencer, just openly wondered on Instagram whether something's wrong with her TikTok algorithm. TikTok's sale to the Ellisons has been finalized. The best time to delete the app from your phones was yesterday; the second-best time to do it is now.

Dass die Trump-Regierung so offensiv weiter lügt, obschon die Videos vom Tod Alex Prittis das Gegenteil zeigen, wird selbst zur dezisionistischen Geste: Gerade weil die Lüge für jeden so offensichtlich ist, beharrt man auf ihr - um zu zeigen, dass man es kann.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Western countries are hitting refugees twice: they are making it harder to claim asylum *and* they are cutting aid to troubled regions. I went to Sudan, the world's worst humanitarian situation, where the UN refugee agency has had to cut half its staff. Please have a read: as.ft.com/r/df593f1e-e...

Vigil Held for Alex Pretti, Second Person Killed by Federal Agents in Minneapolis Pretti was an intensive care nurse with the Veterans Affairs. He was fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. He's the 2nd person killed by feds this month: unicornriot.ninja/2026/federal...

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

A long-underappreciated component of "Do not obey in advance" is that doing so often not only makes you look like a coward and a fool, but also results in considerable unnecessary work.

I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.

[NYT Opinion-Gifted article]: M. Gessen, State Terror Has Arrived, Jan. 24, 2026 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

I was having a low grade panic attack most of the day, but I countered it by walking some stuff over to the community fridge. If you’re also feeling helpless, I recommend doing something similar on a local level. It’s not gonna fix the world, but helping your neighbors is a great lil start.
