🧵ICE abducts Mainers in Portland, Maine the morning of January 21, 2026.

I've been dipping in and out of Dementia Don's deluded Davos address (which I know I shouldn't) and

I just hope this prison has enough room for war criminals and violent American fascists too www.borowitzreport.com/p/greenland-...

A greeting card for my Bluesky friends

there is a simple reason why ICE has a budget larger than the rest of Federal law enforcement agencies combined, it is not about immigration. It is to do exactly this, terrorize Americans with random violence by state agents and get us to submit to the Donald's rule. This is literal Fascism

If you see federal agents pulling into your driveway, reporters, power down your electronic devices ASAP. That's the advice from @runasand.bsky.social, via @columjournreview.bsky.social www.cjr.org/news/hannah-...

Be cautious of confirmation bias today, friends. I’ve seen several reports from Minnesota already this morning which seemed plausible, but when I tried to run down the source, I was led to tangles of sloppy misinformation & simulacra news outlets.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

Just want to stress that this was a woman who was simply trying to get to a doctor's appointment.

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

meanwhile, Marco Rubio, January 2026

ICE has escalated from Arresting undocumented migrants with criminal records to Arresting undocumented migrants without criminal records to Arresting legal migrants to Arresting US citizens who 'look' like migrants to Arresting US citizens protesting ICE to Arresting random bystanders. Who's next?

I keep thinking about this with the ICE shooting

can someone tell me Why in the great green Earth Ludacris is going on a tour that Kid Rock & Jason Aldean are headlining and with Unkle Kracker! on second bill?!?!?!!

this is the most correct and courageous thing I've seen my Bishop to do in his entire career.

a true Diva

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Happy 13th birthday to the most essential artwork of the current era, @kcg.bsky.social ‘s “This is fine,” to all those who celebrate.

Carrying a quarter or 2 every time I went out at night in case I had to use a pay phone to call home and say I was going to be late

I hate to admit it but this is impressive

spent last night thinking about Crispus Attucks for.... reasons.

This is the last part of it. It was separated in her post.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Poem in thread

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

this is just to remind us, that Greenland is a real place, with it's own geography, culture, and issues While the political posturing & sabre rattling may have real effects on it, none of that addresses the vital needs of Greenlanders (or us) 350.org/rise-from-on...

when I was a boy my family lived in Italy for a year, so I learned that Epiphany was when la Befana brought gifts to us children, and Joy, Hope, & Peace to the world. 5 years ago Trump and his deluded followers brought the opposite to our nation. It is high time to reclaim January 6th for good

Queequeq, my fine friend, does this sort of thing often happen?

As a Dane, I hate this rhetoric so much. The way that white people have appropriated and romanticised "vikings" as some sort of brave horned helmeted race that conquered the world with their big muscles and boats. Not least because that image is being used to promote white supremacy.

YES. I’ve been posting various pull-quotes for a month. This is my current and longest one yet:

In my opinion Dry January doesn’t have to start until Epiphany But if you wait until then you ought to stay sober until St. Valentines Day at the least

so, new to me, the other tech bubble that could burst soon.

I appreciate the Tour de Ski, but the final stage climb to the top of Alp Cermis is ridiculous, best Nordic skiers in the world single stick coaches walking up the steep pitches. It would be a better race to do a longer loop around the stadium and finish 1.5-2km further down the climb up the Alp.

it's awful when I'm cooking dinner for my family, and I run out of Thyme...

there were a lot of great videos on early MTV (many linked in the replies) and a bunch of great of Prince videos, but this one stands out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9tE...

so the new 5km Heat format, mass start 20x4 heats, fastest times win. A 24 year old Jessie Diggins would eat this format up, But Jessie is 34 now. Still, she is the Tour de Ski leader right now, and the USA skiers all have some very fast skis today.

recall dear reader, this is a Nordic ski racing fan page now, OMG Gus Schumacher WINS the 5km Heat Race in Toblach today! Gus's 2nd ever World Cup win!

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

early Serie A match at 6:30 then a World Cup Nordic Race and first stage of the Tour de Ski, Last 3 laps of Dendermonde Cyclocross WC. that's a nice full morning of Euro sports viewing.

random thoughts while watching World Cup Nordic ski races every Norwegian has 3 names, one of which is unpronounceable except by Scandinavians (and even then...)

the perfect metaphor for TechBro over-reach does not exis....

But Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.
