When a federal judge has to order agents not to arrest peaceful protestors…https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/01/16/us/minn-injunction-aclu.html

This is the dumbest shit he’s done yet, and that’s saying something.

Miller is correct here, if international law = the rules of Risk

I would never argue that you are entitled to punch Stephen Miller in the mouth and steal his wallet as long as you are bigger than him. But that is exactly what Stephen Miller is saying. The rule of the playground is no basis for peace.

I agree that we ought to use persuasion to bring people nearer to our political purposes; I think that making every single Republican a social and professional pariah for the rest of their lives would be very persuasive when it comes to people weighing the cost/benefit of aligning with fascism.

Unvarnished thuggery

“The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people, but the silence over that by the good people.” Martin Luther King, Jr

CBS lies on behalf of the Trump regime. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

Pure, unadulterated evil.

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

All we can be sure of is that ICE denied a dying US citizen medical care. If one cares about those sorts of things.

Impeach him. Now. apnews.com/article/denm...

I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes: these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.

Let’s have one anyway and see what happens.

A democracy should not allow a person who says things like this to remain in office regardless of whether or not he is sincere.

Bluesky going to work over on Twitter

Geez, now that the regime is actually treading on our constitutional rights, where are all those people with the yellow snake flags? www.thedailybeast.com/ice-barbie-w... www.thedailybeast.com/ice-barbie-w...

We are so far past the Rubicon that it isn't worth having a discussion anymore as to whether Trump is acting as an authoritarian. The only question is whether we have the strength and courage to get back to the other side.

Asked why President keeps talking about canceling the election, Leavitt said: He's speaking facetiously

State of the Union

We’re beyond the “show me your papers” phase of the fascist take over of America. ICE is going door to door asking people to point out where their immigrant neighbors live. We’re at the “naming names” stage.

Worth every second

Trump told Reuters in a just released interview, “when you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.” This is not a joke, a boast, or an expression of frustration that the people are turning against his agenda. Do not allow statements like this to be normalized.

Rather than invoking the Insurrection Act, Trump could simply withdraw ICE/CBP from Minneapolis. He clearly wants violence, chaos, and an excuse to deploy the military against US citizens. He’s at war with anyone who doesn’t support him.

Minutes after I warned Trump is following Putin's playbook from Chechnya in Minnesotta, he just warned he is on verge of sending the US military into the state. If you think Trump won't slaughter Americans, you are kidding yourself. We are at war. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections

Trump encourages Iranians to protest against their totalitarian leaders while threatening to institute the Insurrection Act in Minnesota. 🤷‍♂️

Trump wishes America good morning by threatening to institute the Insurrection Act.

Trump’s ICE thugs tear-gassed a Minneapolis neighborhood in the middle of the night and flash-banged a 6-month-old baby. ICE initially told a family trying to flee the gas that they could leave, then flash-banged their vehicle anyway. Their baby stopped breathing and was taken by EMTs. #GoodvsEvil

On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

What Ed said

my friend was maced by ICE agents outside of the coffee shop where I do my homework. she was just standing there filming them and they maced her directly in the eyes and fled the scene. our communities are being terrorized.

Can they swing by and protect the citizens of Minnesota, too? www.newsweek.com/greenland-ge...

“Internal bleeding to the torso,” is a completely meaningless phrase and is not terminology that any credible medical report would contain. Release the records, especially any imaging that was performed.

I’m hoping our historic allies can swing by and help defend Minnesota, too. substack.com/@50501/note/...

“Prices for groceries, insurance and housing are much higher than they were just a few years ago, forcing President Trump to pivot from scoffing at complaints about affordability to pitching ideas about how to lower everyday costs.” www.wsj.com/economy/cons...

“The ICE agent who had pepper sprayed into the vents of my car said ‘you guys gotta stop obstructing us, that’s why that lesbian b—— is dead,’ verbatim, speaking of Renee Good.” www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.
