Pretty sure one of the most important things about a job in politics is the ability to stand around, looking at your phone, with a VERY serious face to pretent you aren't actually just doom scrolling rather than doing anything of any importance.

“We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility.” presswatchers.org/2026/02/the-...

Trump: “Oh, I thought when I saw this note, 'I'm excited to announce that Norway,' I thought they were going to say that they're giving me the Nobel Prize. Oh this is less exciting…But I don't care. I don't care about the Nobel Prize.”

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Crazy that a celebration of the diaspora that is Latin culture is seen as a violent affront to some people. Can you imagine being that afraid of everything?

The 10 companies to boycott during February: - Microsoft - Apple - Amazon - Google - Meta - OpenAI - Netflix - Paramount+ - Uber - X

Holy shit. So this just happened at Minneapolis's legendary First Avenue club. That's Tom Morello introducing Springsteen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jHe...

Trump cares most about the markets. The best strategy is to opt out. We’re asking you to join a monthlong national economic strike targeting tech and AI companies. www.resistandunsubscribe.com

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

1/27/2026 - Minneapolis ICE just attempted an illegal entry into the ECUADORIAN CONSULATE to abduct someone They did not have a warrant

Abolish. ice. 💔

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

"If you deserted Trump, we could get to 60 votes and end this occupation of Minneapolis." "You funded the murder." @timmiller.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social talk the complicit GOP Congress on today's Bulwark Podcast:

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"

The people want to see that their leaders actually give a f@&$ People are putting their lives on the line while our leaders debate whether to fund ice more. They refuse to call out the republicans who have used the darkest human emotions to destroy us. Step UP!

Everyone still think athletes will avoid DHS (ICE, CBP etc) racial profiling? #WorldCup ⚽️

"For The Homeland is not 'The State' or even 'The Country.' The Homeland is not defined by simple geography." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

imagine if all that money had gone to teachers instead

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

WHy, as liberals, do we still buy Apple products?

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor: "Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

Swin is one of the best journalists of the internet era.

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

We are calling on Democrats to shut the government down until they remove ICE from our streets. Enough is enough. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Raskin: "I think the people have Minnesota have shown us with their mass demonstration and general strike the direction that we may need to go in nationally in order to send the message that American society does not accept this authoritarian derailment of the US Constitution."

Mr. President, they're holding Minnesota hostage, not for anything related to Immigration. They're terrorizing & occupying Minnesota for the *voter rolls* Bondi said so plainly. They want to intimidate voters & destroy the possibility of fair & free elections. This should not be understated.

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

It is time for a general strike

A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation. 🎥 dangjessie / Threads

“Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.”

For Twin Cities friends who are doing a lot of recording lately anyway, I bring this to y'all's attention.

God I love MA

Oh yeah, Massachusetts is prepping. Apparently this bakery had anti-ice cookies and received death threats. They won't be open their usual hours tomorrow. Not out of fear, out of baked goods. They completely sold out and need to spend tomorrow restocking. fallriverreporter.com/massachusett...

Meanwhile, on the left, we freak out when we pay an influencer 2k for an engagement. Gee, wonder why we are losing the online culture wars?

@timmiller.bsky.social says it's time to stand up and fight back against ICE thuggery: "This stuff is ratcheting up, not down, and it is gonna take a united populace to say no, to get them to back off this, and it's worked"

Let's see how things are going President President Trumps vacation presidency in Venezuela: Oh.

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

NYT article does a good job of laying out the García’s investigation. What a disgrace

The California governor will head to Brazil for the UN event, aiming to bolster his international profile after the Trump administration refused to send a representative.

One of the persistent myths out there is that young guys who buy crypto love the unregulated, unpoliced state of the market. There's zero evidence for it. Most young men want crypto to be more regulated, and don't like Trump's corrupting influence on it.

Hey Democrats! Maybe we should also sue CBS for the edited interview, for a bajillion $, and then use that money for Medicare for all when they settle as we take over congress.
