DoD has placed active-duty soldiers with the 82nd Airborne, based at Fort Bragg, on standby for possible deployment to Minneapolis should the president invoke the Insurrection Act, reports Newsmax’s Carla Babb (a former VOA colleague who was our Pentagon correspondent).

But the point is for about 2 hours these 5-6 cars did nothing except drive around Roseville, constantly observed by the Roseville Liberation Front made up of retirees and librarians. They can't do shit. They are outnumbered. Their operation is shit & ground to a halt. never got my fucking coffee tho

We’ve annotated this satellite imagery from January 20th to show the proximity of where the journalists using a drone were killed to the displacement camps and the nearest IDF outposts in Gaza. The Yellow Line is where Israeli troops withdrew to following the US-brokered deal with Hamas.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'

KEEP CALLING. CALL THEM ALL. ALL THE TIME!!!!!

The @hudsonriverpark.bsky.social Trust is ending contract with ICE to stash vehicles at Pier 40 parking lot. The 150K a year contract ends in June, but @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social whose district oversees the park, is calling for the trust to cut out early. www.thecity.nyc/2026/01/21/i...

we have reached a new era in which direct action is getting a lot of attention and so is getting widely misunderstood—maybe because images of police beating and pepper spraying people at a protest shape how images of people blocking an ICE abduction are understood (connected, yes, but diff tactics)

plenty of media keep looking at rapid response and community defense work as “anti-ICE protest” which it is sort of but is not only that—are people holding signs and marching? sure, sometimes. are people using their wits and tolerance for the cold to slow down ICE? yes. a lot of people are.

If you have time to give a shit about Greenland today, please call your congress folks and loudly give a shit to spare a Minnesotan who is really otherwise occupied! reps.fyi

Trump has a rapist's idea of negotiation, foreign policy, and domestic policy. He gets off violating consent and DARVO'ing, making money in the process is just a bonus for him.

The DFL has issued Somali, Spanish, and Hmong non-attendee caucus forms to make it easier for those targeted by ICE to participate. I've placed them on my website for ease of access: www.abetterdfl.org/forms

In Minneapolis, a Native-owned coffee shop has transformed into a warming space, supply hub, and symbol of resistance as ICE sweeps target the community.

Border Commander Greg Bovino stands outside a South Minneapolis gas station this morning with BORTAC officers in what seemed like an effort to draw more and more people to the scene as other agents shoot high resolution video of the crowd yelling and blowing whistles.

I see people badmouthing Jeffries in response to this, as if he's already backtracked. I'd encourage folks to NOT punish pols for doing the thing you want them to do. Praise this stance and this moment. Keep pressure on not to surrender, and assume we should simultaneously push on other fronts, too.

The Pentagon is drawing up plans to invade a US city

103 days into the "ceasefire." Hours after Netanyahu joined Trump's "Board of Peace." Israeli forces just killed 3 more journalists. They were on assignment to film a camp in Gaza, to document the plight of Palestinians displaced by Israeli bombs. Instead, Israel killed them.

These fucking assholes drove by an elementary school during the short window of morning drop off. They want to intimidate us but all they’re doing is pulling every single parent off the sidelines.

The idea that protests and public opinion are meaningless in the face of the Trumpist assault, that authoritarian regimes are impervious to public pressure, is still widespread. But it is wrong. And it perpetuates the regime's assertion of inevitability.

Had a great time!

imagining a work culture where every manager agrees not to give a shit about productivity metrics as long as work is generally getting done. rotating it in my mind

Please let them know it’s very cold here.

A year into President Donald Trump’s second turn in the Oval Office, it has become virtually impossible to tell where his administration ends and Fox News begins. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

Why Documenting ICE’s Violent Raids is Only Half the Accountability Battle www.techpolicy.press/why-document...

Iceland at Davos

Dear neighbor, We are seeing an increase in immigration enforcement and federal agents across South Minneapolis. This includes the sighting of Bovino at 34th and Cedar. There’s definitely an uptick compared to the last few days. 1/

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

hey, y'all. my name is madi and i'm a reporter for the minnesota reformer. i cover the trump administration's impact on minnesotans, which means i've been out on the streets covering ICE in the twin cities. let me walk you through how we got here:

A reminder to practice basic humanity. America the state is not Americans the people--who are among the most diverse in the world & who are literally dying on the streets trying to defend the vulnerable. Dehumanization cannot be fought with more dehumanization. Hate cannot be conquered with hate.

Have a pal who will match the first $1,000 you all donate to the Immigrant Law Center TODAY. You can reply with verification (make sure ID info obscured) or DM me. Thanks everyone!

Telling me that I personally am at fault for what that shitheel president is doing is certainly your right but also he'd euthanize me if possible as a queer autistic so maybe understand He is the windshield, I am the bug.

His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

Jesus Christ www.statnews.com/2026/01/20/c...

Roberts and Barrett are skeptical that the equities favor letting Trump fire Lisa Cook. Roberts is openly hostile toward the government's claim that courts cannot reinstate Cook at all. On the flip side, Gorsuch seems skeptical of the idea that Cook deserves notice and a hearing before removal.

Gotta love that the metric for "Nazi level" is either the point in time in which other world powers decided to act, or when everyone realized the extent of the actions Nazis took to enforce fascism. You know there were steps to get to either of those points and they were still Nazis then, right?

"An agent came to my side and said, "You are under arrest." I just held my hands in the air and I waited for instruction... At one point, one said to my friend: “You need to stop. You need to stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead.” www.wired.com/story/how-ic...

WIRED spoke to 10 residents in Minneapolis about what life has been like for them since ICE seized the city. I know there's a lot of coverage out there, but spend time with this heart wrenching piece:

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

Yes, this is my overwhelming impression listening to it. He repeatedly demanded full ownership of Greenland, and made an explicit threat to punish the Europeans if they don't give in. He then threatened to punish Canada over its prime minister's speech!

Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address. @josephcox.bsky.social breaks it down. Watch our latest episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-QH...

Und thus, modernity comes to a close just like it started, with a guy ranting at windmills

In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.

3/And like any Court, it is not just one set of insiders. Tech bros have been pushing to set up a network state city in Greenland as well. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

1/Its easy to write off Trump as a mad king on Greenland. But it is as much about Court politics -- Trump and his insiders -- than simply a tantrum. Like any King, it is about makeup (hint: Estee Lauder). www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

What a fucking piece of shit we have for a president.

I wish they would all literally just start laughing at him. Just literally point and laugh. That would bother him more than anything else atp

Trump is making the protection racket obvious. This is not spheres of influence. It is about dominance and extraction. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
