“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” An elected Republican legislator in Minnesota ⬇️

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING. 202–224-3121 Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Yep. And they lie about it, but the facts are that they are #KavanaughKillings

A political protester in Minneapolis was captured by ICE. They removed her bra and cut off her wedding ring. They never returned her clothes to her. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

Please read and share this. It shapes all my thinking about the future of the US right now, and it explains why Trump and the GOP are behaving the way they do. There is a near zero chance a Democrat will be sworn in as President in 2029, no matter how people vote. bylinetimes.com/2026/01/22/t...

“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so. How far we have not come in 250 years.

People often confuse the terms United Kingdom, British Isles and Great Britain. Here's a handy map to add some clarity.

“Minnesota is under siege. It might not yet be a civil war, but what the White House has dubbed ‘Operation Metro Surge’ is definitely not just — or even primarily — an immigration enforcement operation. It is an occupation designed to punish and terrorize anyone who dares defy this incursion”

Kavanaugh Stops now include arousing you from bed and hauling you off at gunpoint in your underwear in below zero temps because that's more fun than checking your immigration status ahead of time.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

Good morning. I read this dispatch from a comrade in Minneapolis this morning and thought that some of you might appreciate it too.

Good morning. The free city of Minneapolis still stands.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

maybe the 6 month old they tear gassed was driving right at them, maybe think about that before you pass judgement

From ever-brilliant @rubenbolling.bsky.social another great cartoon. See original here bsky.app/profile/rube... And reminder that a certain SCOTUS member will be immortalized for something other than "I like beer!" We should use his name in every account of these skin-color-based roundups.

Abolish the crazy thugs at ICE.

Abolish ICE Before They Kill Again, Impeach Trump & Noem Before They Incite More Murder Renee Nicole Good was a 37-year-old award-winning poet, a mother of a six-year-old, and a wife who had recently moved to Minneapolis. That all ended yesterday when a masked ICE agent murdered her in broad…

DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

yes! i am a bit of a broken record on this but among elite male commentators there is such obvious gender anxiety

Replace "Islam" with "Judaism" or "Christianity" Replace "Islamists" with "Jewists" or "Christianists" Replace "Caliphate" with "Rabbis" or "Papacy" Tell me such hate directed at Jews or Christians would be acceptable? Of course it wouldn't. And it shouldn't be for Muslims either. Yet here we are.

Every Democrat should be an ICE abolitionist. None of this “we all agree you need to come here legally” or “we all agree the immigration system needs reform.” Fuck focus groups and polls. Inform the public of these atrocities and shift the Overton window to a presumption of equality for everyone.

lot of big words when RACIST has always been right there

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*
