to the extent that there is a “carrot” to trumpism it is the same carrot that slaveholders offered to lower class white men: “you can be an overseer”

So. To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar. Not defunded. Not trained and restrained. ABOLISHED. Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

an administration that understood it needed at least *some* public opinion on its side would dump bovino immediately

We liberals were right about everything. We were right to scream Trump was in Putin's pocket We were right about sex predator Brett Kavanaugh. We were right about Covid and supporting vaccines. We were right about 1/6. We were right about guns and climate change. We're right about fascism.

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

"While the NHL has never had a current or former player come out as gay, the PWHL currently has 30 openly queer players, including engaged players Anna Kjellbin and Ronja Savolainen, who are set to compete on different teams in the 2026 Olympic games" www.them.us/story/hockey...

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

What lying fucks they all are.

Iran was threatened for killing protesters. After two killings in America, is it ok for Iran to now threaten America for killing protesters?

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

This is horrific. But you should know that in Gaza, the IOF broadcasts audio of children crying and people screaming as bait and then shoots the Palestinians who show up to aid the people in distress.

Sometimes you get a few minutes on live TV with a billionaire. I tried to make them count! 😅

Thank goodness everyone spent months deciding that the Chinese were stealing our data so we could switch to good old patriotic American data stealing

ICE isn’t even immigration enforcement anymore, it’s just terrorism. Public executions, kidnapping people off the streets, nothing done legally. What distinguishes these activities from those of an organization like ISIS?

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

WTAF, Dems?

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

😬

Last year, @markhamillofficial.bsky.social posted this BS quote from MLK. I hope he is more careful (and enlightened) this year.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara shook as he watched a video of ICE officers pulling a woman — a U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment — from her car. Her desperate plea to the ICE agents before they grabbed her: “I am an autistic disabled person and I'm trying to go to the doctor.”

Just saw it noted that 100% of the world’s Ozempic supply comes from Denmark, as does a somewhat smaller percentage of the world’s insulin. Almost as if it’s really quite a small world!

I put myself through the entire interview. Trust me when I tell you that Gavin "dank memes" Newsom agrees with him on EVERYTHING. I literally says "I agree with you" on EVERYTHING. Ben "extremely unpopular even with MAGA" Shapiro gets very combative with him and Gavin capitulates EVERY time.

🚨 #GVerse Wow! Sen. Ruben Gallego becomes one of the first U.S. Senators to call for #FuckICE to be DISMANTLED. “I think ICE needs to be totally torn down. People want immigration enforcement that goes after criminals…not the goon squad from Stephen Miller…”AMEN!

New report from doctors shows the Iranian regime slaughtered 16,500 protesters during the communications shutdown.

These elected Dems still don’t get it. @booker.senate.gov

Here's a little secret about what ICE is doing. They are including all agents who died before ICE was formally created in 2003 when telling us how dangerous being an ICE agent is. How do I know this? I went by the fallen agents page.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

The police are NOT helping protesters being attacked by ICE, but they are putting out fires that were keeping protesters warm.
