Yes!

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE. First no funding. Impeach Noem. Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN. Demand that Miller resign. Don’t let up.

Proud to be whizzing by on this list, as one of many people across the country committed to defending democratic values:

Check out our latest resource, created in partnership with @state-futures.bsky.social, which outlines concrete actions state legislators can take to protect election integrity and security ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

That said, I trust there was an emergency meeting of the security team tonight with a 7am meeting scheduled to discuss new protocols and personnel. Because this shouldn’t happen.

Fascist Swine.

Any Second Amendment folks want to have a nutty about this or nah because you all are fucking hypocrites.

Bovino getting pulled is a nice thing, but everyone needs to be clear on one thing: just today, we have infuriating stories of families getting abducted and ICE creepily surveilling our children. ICE are acting the same as they did last week

UPDATE: After seeing this video, I informed ICE of my intent to visit the Baltimore facility today. I was told I would be denied entry. It’s clear Trump's ICE would rather engage in a cover up. I will not stop pressing until we get answers. We need transparency & accountability.

It’s obscene, tbh.

And speaking of obscene.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

His parents are LEGAL asylum seekers with NO criminal record.

RFK Jr. wants to end the “war” on unproven treatments like stem cell therapy

ICE is riddled with sex criminals. A January 2026 report by the Pacific Antifascist Research Collective identified 30 ICE and CBP agents with documented convictions and arrests, some for serious violent and sexual crimes. At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.

The purpose of this system is its result.

👀 Judge Schlitz, the chief federal judge in Minnesota, has ordered the head of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appeal personally in court Friday and threatened him with contempt for the agency’s repeated violation of court orders. “The court’s patience is at an end.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The fact that a Democrat has never been head of the FBI in its entire history rivals the fact that liberals have not had a SCOTUS majority in 56 years as the most bonkers statistic in 🇺🇸 politics

So Greg Bovino is back to his post at USBP in El Centro. There are many lovely hardworking Americans in El Centro but at a place to be it is not to everyone’s taste. I had a hearing in El Centro and drove there the night before because you can’t get there in the morning…../1

Two incidents tied to federal immigration enforcement at churches on opposite sides of the country are raising renewed questions about whether federal law is being applied consistently, or selectively, when religious worship is disrupted. The full story: lataco.com/border-patro... By Izzy Ramirez

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

Yup bsky.app/profile/nbed...

okay fellow white people, they're doing this because they believe this will appease us and it can't the only way forward is the dissolving of the agency totally fuck them abolish ice is the ONLY way forward

I would very much like someone to explain to me how — in 2026, when most humans walk around with a phone camera in their pocket that they know how to use and pretty much everyone knows how to, say, push a button — it would take 180 days to give officers body cameras.

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

from Brainerd, MN: "Local mexican restaurant was raided by ice. They took 4 employees"

Read this beautiful commentary from Stacey Patton. substack.com/@drstaceypat...

MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

[stares directly into the camera]

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

A hearing is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) on the state of Minnesota's request to halt the ICE surge in the Twin Cities. I'm covering the proceedings remotely. From the state's memo: buff.ly/ub2bHso

This person’s actions paved the way for Trump’s presidency and cost Alex Pretti his life

Abolish the death penalty for individuals. Institute the death penalty for individual fortunes.

It is excellent. Minnesota is a case study on how to turn people who don’t see the point of protesting into determined protestors. I am blown away by their courage in the face of a rogue, murderous state. The other America. Try this link archive.is/2026.01.26-0...

HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES: 1. Government lies 2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 3. Press says “the government is lying!” HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE 1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 2. Government lies 3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”

A teacher literally shaking as she describes the threat from her own government to the children she teaches www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

Alex Pretti was a working class hero.

It’s remarkable how closely this matches what I knew of Alex when he was a high school senior and I was a freshman. It’s remarkable how much this tracks with how those who knew him in high school remember him. This is who he was, at his core, even as a teenager. Open, and welcoming and kind.

They call it "pulling a Vatican"

My friend wrote this about Alex. She was his last nursing student. He taught her lessons we all need right now.

Walz: "I don't care if you are conservative are flying a Donald Trump flag, a libertarian 'Don't Treat on Me,' a Democratic Socialist -- this an inflection point. If we cannot all agree that the smearing of a citizen and besmirching everything they stood for -- someone has to be accountable."
