“Many people have said that things like this don’t happen in America. But in many ways the violence exhibited by DHS & federal agents mirrors the tactics used by law enforcement in black & brown communities for decades" said @seandoolittle.bsky.social in this catalogue of athlete dissent against ICE

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

I might get a Nobel Prize before Trump!

Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history. “There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.” My latest: www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...

Calling the Gestapo “the Gestapo” is causing the Gestapo to act like the Gestapo.

"'I worry about how many other people are experiencing this kind of censorship without it being reported,' Goldin said." Excellent piece in @hyperallergic.com by Rhea Nayyar. A shout-out to the stellar @smohyeddin.bsky.social for breaking the news. hyperallergic.com/nan-goldin-s...

New from me: More Than 100 Gazans Have Been Accepted to Canadian Universities. Canada Isn’t Letting Them In.

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them. Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."

“In theater” tells you everything you need to know about Homan’s mindset. He is NOT an improvement.

🧵

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Rise and grind you beautiful babies. Tesla is on the ropes and we've still got work to do #TeslaTakedown

Something that sticks with me from this training: if you’re forming a group/organization, it’s important to spend time together outside of “the work”. Share meals together, grab coffee, etc. You’re going to go through some shit together. This work is hard. Strong bonds help you navigate tough times

Fantastic piece. The intersection of trans and disability politics is kind of where humanity is determined

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social come on dog

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

Translation: “nothing has changed. We might try a little harder to not shoot and kill people. But we are still flooding your city with masked goons to grab immigrants off the street as part of our ethnic cleansing project.”

“Liam is getting sick because the food they receive is not of good quality ... He has stomach pain, he’s vomiting, he has a fever and he no longer wants to eat.” Body cameras on ICE/CBP agents are not going to fix this.

This photo of Liam Conejo Ramos - the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas - is beyond horrifiying. This underscores why just slapping on some procedural restraints on Trump/Miller's ICE/CBP army is not going to make this cruelty/horror go away.

I’ve posted this before but it’s been lost in the shuffle that Brooklyn Park police were reported to have seen the shooter shoot Mark Hortman in the doorway of their home and then enter the home armed and then they WAITED AN HOUR before going in after him www.startribune.com/new-details-...

Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman

The 2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators were treated far too lightly. Media and the public moved on too fast without grasping the seriousness of assassination. These are life and death issues, not just differences of opinion the USA is working out. The reactionary right is ready to kill.

there are people going out in the freezing cold and literally putting their lives on the line in defense of their communities and the multicultural secular society they believe in. not interested in what some online wannabe dnc consultant type wants to tell me what is and isn't possible now

I saw this and slammed my phone down, then picked it back up, saw the post and slammed it back down three more times. I am posting how angry this makes me so I can go back to using my phone without slamming it back down.

This guy, who somehow manages contradictory messaging sometimes in the same sentence has managed near flawless discipline on his Kremlin alignment for a full decade.

American Oversight sues Trump administration over secretive TSA-ICE data sharing that could risk air travel safety americanoversight.org/american-ove...

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Imagine having Bruce Springsteen AND Billy Bragg release songs about how much you fucking suck and how much the people fighting you rule you within the same 48 hours

Haitians in Springfield, Ohio lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. There will very likely be a major ICE incursion the next day. Haitians in Springfield were the targets of Vance’s lying during the campaign. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/28/t...

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

Georgia elections are under attack. The FBI raid at the Fulton County elections office isn’t just about the 2020 elections. Trump is setting the stage to rig 2026 because they know they can’t win fair and square. Y’all, we are going to have to fight this thing with everything we got. 🔥

I wrote about Senate Dems’ proposed “reforms,” which range from superficial to likely unenforceable to actively harmful; the grip billionaire-backed anti-“abolish” Groups have over Washington and the conspicuous absence of any attempt to touch DHS’s obscene budget.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.

I appreciate this piece. "Headlines call it a 'crackdown' on immigration and a 'clash' between the government and 'protesters,' when in reality it’s murderous occupying forces being confronted by people who just want to live free of their violence."

There are so many more of us than there are of them, and that’s gonna be true even if there are, like, ten times as many of them

Shit is worse in Minneapolis post-Bovino. More harassment of observers than before. More following to homes. But the mutual aid/labor resistance hasn’t gone anywhere. We gotta do our part. All of us have to, as Mpls teacher Dan Troccoli said, “Not just appreciate but emulate.”

The fact that these people do not have the practical means to do everything they want isn't a reason to get complacent but I feel like it should be incorporated into planning

I speak to a lot of people — bakers, cooks, farmers — who have never spoken to a reporter before. Sometimes about sensitive stuff. I always explain this stuff at the top of the call, and walk through how I maintain confidentiality. If you want to talk to a reporter, the good ones will do this.

This moment needs more songs that we can sing and appreciate in community, and this one has it all: a clear narrative, an inspirational chorus, and an unambiguous statement of Noem and Miller's moral responsibility. Springsteen even manages to smoothly incorporate a chant of ICE OUT NOW 12/10

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money. And he was still threatening to kill someone.

I have never in my life been more confident in a product prediction than I am that Optimus robots will be a huge flop and I remember the NFT craze

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

ICE was never going to allow its head to testify under oath when they could just moot this by releasing the petitioner, but there is also no reason that every federal judge can't just start doing this in every habeas case in which ICE refuses to follow the law (many such cases!
