right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

A 5-year-old preschool student was taken with his father by federal immigration agents shortly after arriving home from school, Columbia Heights school leaders said Jan. 21.

1) Trump to billionaires: "I'm announcing we're going into Greenland." 2) Billionaires dump stocks. 3) Stock market tanks. 4) Trump to billionaires: "I'm announcing we're not going into Greenland." 5) Billionaires buy cheap stocks. 6) Stock market rallies. 7) The 99.9% get screwed. Had enough yet?

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd. 📷️: Jeff Wheeler

Neighborhood watch is taking on a new form in Minneapolis and other cities under occupation by federal immigration agents: ICE Watch. These folks, who're tailing federal agents as they make arrests, are passionate, determined, and just about everywhere—and ICE is getting frustrated.

The worst of the worst, right?

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

The absolute accuracy of this.

Multi-layered “look what you made me do” lie. Because Norway didn’t give a him prize (it doesn’t decide winners) for ending wars (he didn’t end) the US won’t be peaceful anymore (bombing multiple countries) and will take Greenland (part of Denmark, not Norway) to stop Russia (it’d help Russia).

$1 BILLION per nation to stay on the Gaza “Peace Board” — with Trump controlling the money. Obscene, indefensible corruption. Monetizing the slaughter. There is no bottom. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-w...

Trump seems ready to deploy active duty Army troops in Minnesota. He has declared war against his own citizens. abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...

The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death. The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post. This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide. wapo.st/4qR1T1U

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

"Voters have rejected him. Courage is contagious. There are clear signs of the regime cracking and Trump weakening that are right in front of us. I’m encouraged by it, and I think Democrats have to learn that we need to act with greater ambition, because when we challenge Trump, we keep winning."

Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia. It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.

"That is a federal crime in Minnesota: pouring cold water on the ground. That's what the party of freedom wants to tell the citizens this week." @timmiller.bsky.social on the clownishness of the authoritarians, from today's Bulwark Podcast:

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

"No peaceful demonstrator should ever be killed for standing up to their government. Unless, of course, they’re a suburban mom in an SUV that’s driving away from law enforcement."

Again it is something that people in previous eras have commented on but I still find it just astonishing to witness in my own: fascism is somehow the natural ideology of loser men, just all of our most pathetic and contemptible instincts rendered into a worldview.

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

This board member resigned immediately after my reporting came out earlier this week in the @texasobserver.org www.texasobserver.org/dallas-texas...

So ~1 week after they killed Renee Good, ICE chased a man, shot and injured him reportedly through the door of a home, then blanketed a majority Black neighborhood in a tremendous amount of chemical weapons and flash grenades in the middle of the night. That's where we're at.

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.

"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”" "“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane

Trump Net-Approval On: Immigration: -23% Venezuela: -24% Foreign Policy: -24% Economy: -25% AP-NORC / Jan 11, 2026

These Klansmen in federal garbs are occupying a northern city and represent a total reversal of the Reconstruction’s own logic. These nazi scumbags see the chance to run around the black side of town to throw flashbangs at black children and to *shoot into a house*. Abolish ICE and hang them.

Minneapolis police chief comes out 100% in support of ICE

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Here's Jacob Frey & his police chief. Is Frey telling his police to protect his own residents? No! He's letting his police chief order protestors to stop exercising their first amendment rights, and calling them "criminal demonstrators"

If you’re throwing flash bangs at unarmed civilians you’re an asshole, a criminal, and you should go to jail. Did you think that dad and his kids were Osama and Al Qaeda? You guys are cowards.

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

If this seemed like fever dream doomerism a few months ago, it increasingly looks like this is where they want it to go. Full on military occupation of cities. Posse Comitatus act, etc.

For people outside Minneapolis: North is the historically Black part of the city. It's been heavily disinvested from, gutted by the 2008 mortgage crisis, and got hit by a tornado which did damage you can still see from aerial photos. It's no mistake ICE is going after more vulnerable populations.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously: -Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it -His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate -Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Well, this is awkward... guess someone changed their mind about cutting funding: rollcall.com/2026/01/14/h... Good news to end the night! Sleep tight 💚

Valar Atomics (founded by Isaiah Taylor) is one of the companies building a nuclear reactor for this project with a July 4 deadline. Valar is backed by Day One Ventures, which was founded by Masha Bucher (Drokova), a Russian-born investor living in the US who represented Jeffrey Epstein. 1/

“My tax dodge makes my life so difficult.”

Johnny Harris just did a video on this. I think they also can kind of just getting away with never paying the money back because whatever they provide as collateral is also an asset that will appreciate over time, or something along those lines
