Our reporters Nate Halverson and Sam Van Pykeren caught up with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) at Alex Pretti's memorial in Minneapolis on Monday. "To lose a 37-year-old son, and then to have that son insulted as a terrorist as opposed to celebrated as a hero...I was furious."

He’s not pivoting, he is trying to escape consequence. He doesn’t want to de-escalate, he just wants to get away with terrorizing us.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/ (New piece) newrepublic.com/article/2057...

The date for the next No Kings Day is set. But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

Women who refuse to submit to male authority, refuse God-given heterosexual relationships, or reject their ‘natural’ roles as reproducers of the nation are seen as the enemy. This is why, after an ICE agent shot Renee Nicole Good, he lobbed the phrase “fucking bitch” as she was dying.

We should do it to see…

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

This Globe article doesn't get into how bad the MassHealth budget really is. Reimbursement rates for services will be frozen across the board, which will be devastating for the disabled and elderly: www.wwlp.com/news/massach...

In the past 12 hours, Chris Hayes and Brad Lander have both showed up on my block in Northeast Minneapolis. Just surreal.

ICE kidnapped 5 people from my community this morning. I don’t live in Minneapolis. I live in LA County. They’re still here and their still brutalizing.

We’ve been on the streets all day with @bradlander.bsky.social and because we had so many patrols out, multiple abductions were prevented. The world is looking to us for inspiration, and we will keep showing them how we show up for our neighbors.

🚨🚨🚨🚨

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

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

EXCLUSIVE: These Patches Are Clues to Identifying Immigration Agents We built a guide to patches worn by ICE and CBP to help the public determine which federal agents are in their communities theintercept.com/2026/01/28/i...

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Oy

I'm glad that many Democrats are changing their tune on immigration, but in this house, we never forget who voted for the Laken Riley Act and who voted for Biden's shameful border militarization bill.

"Allowing the crime scene to be contaminated then covering the victim’s weapon with fingerprints will make it much harder to investigate the case, much less prosecute it. But of course federal officials never intended to do either. Indeed, the coverup was underway immediately." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Schumer calls for Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to be removed from their jobs.

Raskin: ICE and CBP — these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.

NEW: A ton of additional details about Mobile Fortify, including the company behind the app, which is being used by ICE agents to scan the faces of countless people in the US. The app sends that data to CBP, which uses AI to match the info with existing records.

Also condemned today by the Catholic Church as acts of moral perversity.

CEOs of Minnesota companies, including Target and Hormel, say they're pushing against ICE's occupation. But their industry trade groups actively lobbied for Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which boosted ICE's budget by $75B. Corporate America will not save us.

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

The Trump administration talking about illegal immigrants but make the footage federal agents

An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering. Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law. Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

The death squads want to scare people out of talking, and it's always impressive to see how the good people in Minneapolis don't let them deter them. Not every ICE agent or Border Patrol agent pulls a trigger, but they are all in on the cover-up and abuse. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Funny how the ammosexuals blow a gasket when I talk about licensing my gun, but when Trump and Tuberville say we shouldn’t be allowed to carry guns, they’re suddenly quiet.

Northfield is a town of 20,000 people in southeast #Minnesota, outside of the metro region. That 20,000 people includes two college populations. Agents in plain clothes raided a local bakery this morning, and masked agents continue to raid local apartment complexes. That's where we're at.

You can see this from the Ileana Garcia - Katie Miller tiff too, these people are only united by a belief that they should be in charge and that means they're going to turn on each other the second they sense vulnerability

Good. I don't give a shit if people think it's performative or late to the game or whatever. Every damn celebrity in the country should be using their platform to push back against fascism.

Trump has declaratively made a claim that Ilhan Omar might've staged the attack on her last night It'll be interesting to see how that statement impacts any prosecution by Trump's Department of Justice of the alleged attacker Court appearance could happen as early as today

Pro tip for any Hill journos, the Speaker can approve 24hr protection for Members who are under heightened threat. Omar used to have this, but Mike Johnson took it away. You should ask him about that

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.

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

Budapest mayor charged over his calls for people to defy Hungary’s Pride ban

Not saying yes or no IS playing games.

"They had outbreaks, some children died. So they added the vaccine, which turns out to be the pattern in countries that look like us. Other countries are adding vaccines, while we are taking them away." @citizencohn.bsky.social on RFK Jr.'s latest vaccine lie: lnk.thebulwark.com/49GTzMp

An Axiom of fascist thought: the victim is always responsible for the harm that befalls them, usually because they don't love the Führer enough.

They won’t investigate the murders of Good or Pretti, but they’ll investigate fake 2020 election fraud. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

The Trump administration is increasingly using white nationalist and neo-Nazi messaging as part of its ICE recruitment push.

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
