A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Spoiler Alert: Make Fuck. Get Green Card. The End.

Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.

Are Democratic politicians ready to accept that most Americans who say "border security" don't mean border security, they mean make the country whiter? Under Obama, the US increased security assets along the US-Mexico border, including patrols and drones. Few who demand "border security" cared.

Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."

every hour, a little closer to war ... not a sharp, nice little one like the summer or Venezuela, but a good ol' sustained airpower campaign www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Ossoff: "They are building the libertarian, the conservatives' worst nightmare of a Leviathan federal government that is totally unaccountable that acts outside of the Constitution, and a society in which individual rights are not protected."

More authoritarianism and intimidation. This is not about 2020. That’s the smokescreen. This is about the midterms and 2028. There will be a lot more of this in the coming months.

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

Trump trying to destabilise Canada from within.

DUCKWORTH: If it's true that we are not at war with Venezuela, will you advise the president to rescind his invocation of the wartime Alien Enemies Act? RUBIO: That was a mechanism to remove people from our country that present great danger D: It's a wartime act. Are we currently at war? R: No

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

"Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen," Noem told a person who relayed her remarks to Axios."" Anyone paying attentions - it's been President Miler calling the shots. Now the vipers are going after each other. 🐍🐍🐍

Great. Everything is so fucked that somehow I agree with Greenwald. He nails it here, though.

Tim Pool: “I’m not licking the boot. It’s my boot. I voted for it. I’m the one stomping…” This mindset is genuinely pathetic. It’s an alpha fantasy: watching state violence and imagining you’re exercising power rather than the one submitting to it. /1

"DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately," CNN reports

Replace the word antisemite with MAGA and this WW2 era observation becomes uncannily familiar.

NYPOST EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. Mr. President, the American people didn’t vote for these scenes, and you can’t continue to order them to not believe their lying eyes.” @nypost.com nypost.com/2026/01/25/o...

Quite a statement by the Republican governor of Vermont

Walz: "We're no longer having a political debate. We're having a moral debate."

Filming the police is not obstruction. Filming the police is not resisting. Refusing to stop filming police is not resisting. Holding onto your phone is not resisting. Federal agents under this admin have zero respect for rights and liberties.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

The NRA’s two statements on Alex Pretti

Nick Fuentes urging Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota: "Bro, do it. Do something. Just stop chickening out. I'm just tired of the idle threats... Please pull the trigger. Please kill them, Mr. President. Please just kill them." www.mediamatters.org/nick-fuentes...

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

National Guard has fully arrived. Franklin and Nicollet.

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

Walz: "We sill investigate this. We will not be stonewalled ... this will end when enough American say this will end. Do I have any confidence that Donald Trump will do the right thing? No ... quit referring to these people as law enforcement. They are not law enforcement."

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

Rod Stewart calls out “draft dodger” Trump for denigrating the service of allied combat vets, and says that PM Keir Starmer must insist that Trump publicly apologize.

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

“We have a nice little database, & now you’re considered domestic terrorists” says an ICE agent after photographing a civilian who was videotaping them. Posted today by Brian Allen on X. h/t @allenanalysis.bsky.social

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

The White House is just outright admitting that it's posting fake and misleading information about a defendant who has been criminally charged by the feds.

Big flag: Trump says online that he hopes Pam Bondi is watching the Jack Smith testimony. He adds: "A big price should be paid by them for what they have put our Country through!"

Turns out it’s really hard for ultra-nationalists to form Internatonal alliances! 😂 www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

(Politico) - Speaker Mike Johnson now supports the push inside his party to bring impeachment articles against judges perceived as antagonistic of President Donald Trump’s agenda .. @politico.com www.politico.com/live-updates...

Trump: "Sometimes you need a dictator."

Trump's speech was a fiasco. It revealed yet again, his ignorance, arrogance, and malevolence in equal parts. But it was more than that, more than just offensive to our allies. It marks the end of a century of building trans-Atlantic ties that have been a centerpiece of global peace and prosperity.

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

Opinions of Trump improved for a majority of Republicans since the start of his second term. That's what we are dealing with.

"Fuck the Overton window,” Steve Bannon told The Atlantic. "Remember, our strategy... is maximalist, a maximalist strategy. You have to take it however deep you can take it and, quite frankly, until you meet resistance. And we haven’t met any resistance.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

NEW: This is a REAL story in The Globe and Mail today. Canadian Armed Forces are modelling responses to a US military invasion from the south. They expect Canadian forces to be overrun in a fortnight, so the plan centres on Afghanistan-style insurgencies to inflict mass casualties on US troops 👇
