They nearly killed this woman. Then they went on national TV and tried to smear her.

Wonder what Dems are gonna do with their veto-proof majorities.

Was just on w/ @chrislhayes.bsky.social talking about the impact ICE is having on public opinion toward immigration and Trump’s second term in general. The bottom line is that people hate the violence against Americans, and this is moving a significant number of people against Trump in a new way

My brother, a 22 year resident of MN and former GOP US Senate staffer, called me tonight to tell me he is going to protests with his son, who is on the US National Speedskating team. ICE is not winning hearts & Minds, folks

Can’t believe they invaded both of his homes.

Least surprising thing has happened.

NEWS: A federal judge found that ICE had repeatedly retaliated against peaceful protesters in unconstitutional ways — and barred agents involved in Minnesota's "Operation Metro Surge" from using similar tactics and force. w/ @joshgerstein @hassankanu www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

This is the Trump theory of opening up an investigation regardless of whether the case has any merit. Harass & intimidate you enemies & hope they’ll submit. No grand jury will ever indict this case.

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

Ahem, CNN. The term is “railroading,” not “investigating.” FIFY

Minnesota should respond by charging Greg Bovino (I’d suggest Trump, but John Roberts says he’s immune).

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

This is a transparent attempt to create a pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act. One provision applies when a group of people "opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws." And when it's (allegedly) the state itself...

This reeks of desperation and they are upset that nobody is being intimidated into acquiescing.

ICE/CBP is following school busses now. My husband (a school bus driver) was just in an urgent all-hands meeting about it this afternoon.

They… were… going … home… from a basketball game.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

They’re gonna get all these people promotions and raises.

"A Minneapolis couple said that ICE agents deployed tear gas... around them and their six children — the youngest only 6 months old — as they tried to maneuver their car out of a tense protest on Wednesday night." They were driving home from a son’s basketball game. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

This is incredible. (More legible version here www.npr.org/sections/the...)

His overall approval hasn’t changed much since April but notably, “strong approval” is at an all-time low of 19%. Those are not numbers where your supporters trudge to the polls for you.

The thing that should really keep Republicans up at night is that 58% of voters say he's gone too far in exercising his power. There's a tighter nexus between that and voting D in the midterm than on broad economic concerns.

This video shows ICE holding children hostage to bait parents out of their homes. Just unspeakable levels of cruelty and inhumanity.

That makes that depraved indifference murder for everyone involved unless she had no chance of survival even with care

So it turns out that 'you can't fire the head of a statistical agency for releasing numbers you do not like' is, like many other things in the US, a norm and not a law.

These claims are so dangerous. They are the same in effect to the claims in the 1930s that there were secret networks of Jews and Communists working to undermine the German state and that extraordinary steps had to be taken to protect against them.

Can’t believe how dumb it’s gotten.

They flashbanged a car full of kids. A car full of fucking kids.

The University of Arkansas's law school just withdrew the appointment of its new dean six days after hiring her because conservative politicians complained that she filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in support of transgender students

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are using armed, militarized agents to provoke Minnesotans. The Insurrection Act should not be used as an excuse to send armed troops into our streets.

President threatens to deploy the Insurrection Act against Minnesota.

People getting angry at this post seem to be reading Walz saying “What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets” as a scolding about avoiding bad political optics rather than as a warning that Donald Trump wants violence in the streets

How is it that Bill Kristol is better on ICE than the Democratic leadership in Congress?

Blast this guy everywhere.

ICE threw a flash bang at a car and it had six kids in it. All six children are in the hospital now.

Like Musk’s purchase of Twitter, the disastrous fall in revenue and success will be far outweighed by their destroying a powerful media outlet that once held powerful people to account. The ROI is not only about profits.

On Fox 9 just now they interviewed a woman at the scene in Minneapolis. She says she’s not an activist but felt a call to action like she hasn’t felt since 9/11. She says she was raised to love America. She says she’s never felt scared of the government in her life, until now.

Demand impeachment or get out.

Here's an idea, constrain the executive *before* they do something crazy. Congress was Article I for a reason

But the confusing thing is we’re on the other side.

This is a nightmare obviously but: consider that as proof those systems of protection are working, and it maddens and frustrates them.

Ouroboros authoritarianism. Provoke fear and resistance, then use the resistance you provoke as a pretext to expand the scope and severity of your tactics.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

She says ICE agents mocked her: “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. Which filled me with absolute rage and shock..." www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

Plus: Maybe this will scare Trump off. Minus: Are we about to get in a shooting war with Denmark?

Nothing to worry about, just our treaty allies reinforcing troops against attack by a nation that is legally bound to come to their defense

US tariffs are taxes on Americans. The Trump tariffs amount to an average tax increase per US household of $1,500 in 2026. They are the largest US tax increase as a percent of GDP since 1993. Impact tracker by @taxfoundation.bsky.social —>

I dont see how any of my fellow Jewish Americans can be more fearful of college students protesting about Palestine than they are of a militarized ICE stacked with avowed Hitler supporters
