Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.” Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity. So pathetic and weak.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

This is the city that killed the friendly robot that was just trying to go across the country to inspire people.

“Every Tory is a coward, for servile, slavish, self-interested fear is the foundation of Toryism; and a man under such influence, though he may be cruel, never can be brave.” —Thomas Paine, “The American Crisis” #1, published December 19, 1776

“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.”

The inadequacy of Obama’s statement is even starker after the National Basketball Players Association released a stronger one (we all know he loves basketball)

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

Extremely funny that the champion of the revolutionary left/socialist boogeyman of Republicans everywhere is basically Leslie Knope.

Pam Bondi: Our country was founded on law enforcement. Our country's founders:

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

I wonder if I’ll ever stop being angry all of the time.

Mood in minneapolis right now

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Party in the back

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

COLLECTIVE LIBERATION OR BUST

the children are protesting from inside the camps. i hope they know that we hear them.

Clarissa explains it all to the DHS Instagram account

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Holy fucking shit dude.

And he didn’t. He tried to help a woman who’d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

I hope Democratic senators and congressmen understand, out of pure lizard-brain self-interest if moral decency happens to be unavailable, what is at stake for them if they don't handle this the right way. This is a true "If not now, when?" moment.

Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.

Pretti’s last words were, reportedly, “are you ok?”

The term martyr means “witness.” The man was murdered for bearing witness, literally bearing it, not arms but a camera. Murdered for seeing.

Thinking a lot right now about this crisis of trust. It’s a new world for Americans to not be able to trust what their government tells them. Not to say that the government has never lied or misled the public before. Obviously it has. But this is a new, Soviet-style level of lies and fabrication

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

This is what an American hero looks like. The best of us. Fuck ICE.

A man was choked so hard that his blood vessels burst in his eyelids and his death was ruled a homicide. This is a rogue agency. It needs to be torn down and replaced with a new federal agency that respects human and constitutional rights and has civil rights oversight.

“mom, if i create enough noise my friends can get away”

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

Democratic leaders need to fear being branded as collaborators more than they fear being called soft on crime

We have no functional national media in the way many people still think we do, so the more regular folks we can show this stuff to, the better. Make sure your friends, family, co-workers, REALLY see what’s going on. If you still have personal Facebook, blast it with these videos. Make it inescapable

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

We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

i’m never gonna stop saying this

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

Holy shit, this thread is incredible.

This is what heroism looks like. It’s the civilian whose only weapons are their voice and knowledge of their rights standing their ground against menacing armed fascists.
