Some things they care about, other things they don’t care about.

The elites and institutions have folded but regular people haven’t

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Oh, they’re not done. They’re done for now. They’ll get back to both-siding things as the outrage ebbs.

Start with lunacy, then the lying then the crimes then acting for Putin It's a target-rich environment NYT. Start getting those after-Trump clicks you'll be chasing some day. No time like the present!

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

The NYT appears to be done with both-sidesing the significance of Trump’s narcissistic lunacy on the global economy and world order. Good! Now do the same with democracy and civil rights.

In past administrations, at least a couple good journalists typically cultivated sources inside the White House to find the inside scoop. We as a nation could really, really use a strong press corps now. Instead, it's more like a bunch of lap dogs.

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot That’s murder

You’re arresting terrified children and using them as bait. Arresting kids getting treatment at doctors’ offices. Blinding protesters. Illegally raiding homes. Making people terrified to leave their homes. You want to pee in peace? Quit your fucking job.

Could a Democrat, any Democrat, release a statement actually thanking the people that have been out there doing the fucking work instead of this constant scolding tone for the love of God

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.

democrats are scared people will think theyre against this

What a coda to this horror: Landlord called in the storm troopers to terrorize and drive away Black and Hispanic tenants. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/u...

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Re ICE actrocities in MN, I’ve already said that lately I feel consistently angrier than I’ve ever felt in my long life. But I also feel absolutely heartsick. That poor little 5-year old baby kidnapped, imagining how scared he was… I know many of you feel the same. Love and solidarity to you.

It’s gutter racism that serves a white nationalist agenda. Just say it instead of pussyfooting around. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Kavanaugh home invasions Kavanaugh kiddie detentions Kavanaugh pepper spray torture

My take on the Jan 23 action in Minneapolis is that I don’t really care whether it’s a “true” general strike (we could argue about that all day). What DOES matter is that it’s a bold and necessary escalation, and local labor leaders are publicly encouraging workers to join in anti-ICE resistance

He didn't "seem to" do it. He did it, repeatedly.

Radley Balko nails this: "The lies this administration is telling about Ms. Good aren’t those you deploy as part of a cover-up. They’re those you use when you want to show you can get away with anything. They’re a projection of power."

It's as though the media heard Don Corleone say, "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse" and reported, "Don Corleone backs off threats of force. Promises only to make a really nice offer."

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

In Trump's telling, the US are the equivalent of the Nazis

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

this is good more cops saying stuff like this please

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

This is sadly understated, but I do appreciate that one of the rubrics under each extraordinary assertion of power is "How it violated a norm or law". www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Reading the big Bari Weiss piece, all I can think is how it reinforces that she has only one value proposition: aiding the backlash against the democratization of speaking truth to power.

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Senior White House official says local and state police in Minneapolis “have been ordered to stand down and surrender.” What?

At what point is it journalistic misconduct NOT to refer to him as a mad king? (We are well beyond that point.)
