“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

There is no redeeming this, no amount of training that can fix the rot at the heart of this institution. Any Democratic official that votes to give this agency a penny is betraying our country.

Incredible, Greenland's PM is now refuting the one part of this that represented any change to the status quo ante. *GREENLAND PM: NOT AWARE OF TALKS ON MINERAL RESOURCES

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

Heartbreaking cruelty visited upon children in our name

on the one hand, the worst person alive, and on the other, the two biggest cowards alive

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

#SCOTUS is likely to do the right thing in the Lisa Cook case. But it's worth bearing in mind that this idea that the Fed is some bespoke exception to the unitary executive theory is utterly incoherent as a matter of both law and history—and is really just proof that the UET is itself bollocks:

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

DOGE likely perpetrated the most serious, far-reaching data breaches in human history, and we will be dealing with the consequences for years. Many DOGErs should have been, and still could be, prosecuted for these crimes.

I think the moment I fully lost it with American elite culture was when there was a no-shit bipartisan panic attack over Colorado throwing Trump off the 2024 ballot because of this stipulation

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

i'm going to spend the rest of my life figuring out how a small band of elites decided that acting as the global currency and primary military hegemon was gay and feminine coded

any Democrats afraid of including threats of ICE prosecution and dissolution in campaign messaging should go get a job in retail or lawn care

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

"A protester detained, her bra removed and wedding ring cut off, and some of her clothes never returned..." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

This isn't a left-right ideological issue. But it blows me away that anyone who is actually anti-Trump would think running back Joe Biden/Merrick Garland 2.0 will work the second time. No political party can tolerate a very large, armed secret police force committed to murdering its voters.

“I don’t think the president’s personal militia recruited from white supremacist gangs can be reformed” shouldn’t be a controversial statement, or taken as anything but an obvious statement of fact, and yet here we are.

What’s happening is a war of treason being waged by the Republican Party’s paramilitary against the citizens of the United States in support of ethnic cleansing.

I feel like the bell beaker guys would be down with it though. They would be like yeah we really were about those jars.

Forced face scanning of a U.S. citizen with zero cause, just bald racial profiling. This is tech fascism.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

I can assure you that Fuck ICE does better than 50% in Massachusetts lmao

Breaking news: An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner said it is likely to classify the death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at an ICE detention center as a homicide. A detainee says he witnessed Campos being choked to death by guards.

Read your comment section, NYT.

This dude is intense and correct

So the first time the color kittens knock all their buckets over, they make brown. Fair enough. The second time they knock their buckets over, they make ALL THE COLORS IN THE WORLD??? Such an obvious plot hole. Margaret Wise Brown had so much contempt for her audience it’s disgusting.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

They see themselves as an occupying army with the mission of oppressing and destroying our people

important thread. they are doing ethnic cleansing

these people hate the very concept of civilization

if anyone copies the way I'm tickling the plagiarism machine, you better believe I'm going to do an epic clapback thread. with the assistance of the plagiarism machine of course (3 neurons left)

Such an unreal, death cult headline

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

The worker, identified as TJ Sabula in the Washington Post, said “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
