Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein. Now we learned that they were in business together. He has no business being our Commerce Secretary. He should resign. www.politico.com/live-updates...

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

Believe your own eyes. Nothing about this is normal. Trump and his goon squad are trying to undermine a fundamental principle of our democracy: free and fair elections.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

The Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists strongly condemns the wrongful arrests of journalists Georgia Fort and Don Lemon for reporting on a church protest in St. Paul. Read our full statement here: www.mnspj.org/2026/01/30/m...

When grand juries have been impaneled to hear testimony and evidence on the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti, then we can begin to talk about the Trump admin doing something tangible. Until that, all this is just PR damage control that only the extremely naive will fall for.

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

The Department of Homeland Security is murdering American citizens. Congress cannot allow that to continue, we must act. We need a full, independent investigation into these killings. 1/ youtube.com/shorts/9e16c...

Our VA Secretary wants all of his employees who serve our nation’s veterans to understand that if masked federal agents execute you on the streets in cold blood, he will not give a damn about you and will use your death as an opportunity to spread propaganda for the President.

In 21st century US politics, the two most important ongoing stories are: 1) The radicalization of the GOP, & 2) the degradation of the information environment, ie, the death of accountability journalism. Neither gets a fraction of the attention devoted to, say, annoying woke undergrads.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings. Get them out of there.

The amount of money that is currently going to fund immigration enforcement in the US is larger than the military budgets of every country in the world other than the US and China. We are witnessing a military assault on American cities by a wildly unpopular governing party.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

America is in the middle of a slow motion kristallnacht

If you think American citizens should be summarily executed by masked federal agents, you’re not a patriot. If you think the lawless goons loyal to our demented pedophile criminal president are greater than the people of Minnesota, you’re not a patriot. You’re a fucking Nazi.

One day after Minnesotans came together 50K in the freezing cold to declare “Protect Our Neighbors” ICE kills again. Can there be any greater proof the Operation Metro Surge must end immediately? Like Now.

The mendacity of Kristi Noem is of world historical level - just a thoroughly vile and worthless henchwoman of evil.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech. This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

IF ICE SHOT A MAN AFTER DISARMING HIM THEN ICE SHOT AN UNARMED MAN.

1. ICE must leave Minneapolis. 2. Congress should not fund this version of ICE - that is seeking confirmation, chaos and dystopia.

It's not debatable that a mentally disturbed person has the nuclear codes. The Republicans know they're endangering us all by leaving him in office. This is a betrayal of every person on Earth. It is a crime against humanity.

This post by @pkrugman.bsky.social on "Sundowning" is worth reading. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-sundow... Agree with this conclusion:

“Even by Trump’s standards, this letter is so dangerous and so delusional that there is no longer any question that the president is mentally ‘unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,’ as laid out in the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.” www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

Donald Trump is mentally unwell & unfit to hold the office of the Presidency. His words & actions show impaired judgment, reckless disregard for laws, allies, & stability. Congress has a constitutional duty to act under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. The public must pressure Congress to act! It’s time!

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/U0fviLiM

Sorry. Has someone said this? 1) Trump can’t impose tariff unilaterally 2) Trump has no $$ to buy Greenland 3) Trump has no authority to leave NATO

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"

Inclined to talk about ICE the way Bush talked about Al Qaeda. We gotta smoke em out of their holes and bring em to justice

Fight Nazis.

I am, in fact, triggered by someone being murdered by the Gestapo and our government lying about it and celebrating the murder. It’s time for decent people to decide where they stand — with the Gestapo and its supporters, the juvenile shitposting government, or with America.

IMPEACH CONVICT REMOVE IMPRISON

I always knew MAGA was gullible, ignorant, cruel, thoughtless, obnoxious, illiterate, spiteful, bigoted, malicious, feeble, callous, mean, uninformed, repulsive, hypocritical, crass, vicious, hateful, deranged, foul, useless, and dumb, but, nowadays, holy shit.

there is no coming back from this without prosecutions up and down the entire chain of command

Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Kristi Noem are LYING to the American people about what we all saw happen on video in Minneapolis. Renee Good wasn’t trying to run over an agent. Her last words were “I’m not mad at you.” Then she was shot and killed.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

Deranged Nazis roaming American streets harassing people with hyped up impunity. Time for ICE to be to be castrated.

I want to connect the dots. The rush to call Renee Good a terrorist, the rewriting of Jan 6th - it's all part of Trump's campaign to use violence to protect his power. A world in which our leader gets to shoot or attack us if we oppose him - that's a dystopia we cannot permit.

This is the issue of our time. How we respond to Trump’s secret police will define our future for generations. Our community is stronger than any masked henchmen. ICE: Get the fuck out of Illinois.
