Sen. Jon Ossoff: "This is a freedom loving country…When you have masked federal agents setting up police checkpoints, demanding papers from American citizens, detaining American citizens without cause…that makes people upset all across the country of all political persuasions."

Oh, the border ogre wants to talk rhetoric? Here he is in July 2024 promising mass havoc: “Trump comes back in January, I’ll be on his heels coming back, and I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen … They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.”

Here’s her DC office number: 202-224-3244 And the one in the Cities: 612-727-5220 If you want to call one of her offices nearer you, check here for the numbers: www.klobuchar.senate.gov/public/index... She wants something big from us, Minnesota. Demand something in return: leadership.

More than a week before his crucifixion by Roman law enforcement, Jesus of Nazareth infuriated other authorities as he overturned vendor tables at the temple farmers market and cursed at an innocent fig tree causing it to wither, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

Can’t eat in restaurants? Their own fault, really. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Letting Homan dictate terms seems pretty silly. MN is in the driver's seat and should be posturing with the power that the community has demonstrated. We should see Homan begging to be allowed to continue the most minimal of operations, not this paternalistic diatribe at 7 am

Yes - until you see it firsthand, it’s hard to understand how upsetting and enraging it is to see these guys operate in your community. They are dressed for war, they beat civilians up, they openly antagonize neighbors, they’re masked, they carry people away. Everyone is livid at every scene.

“.. This list should give pause to anyone — no matter his or her political beliefs — who cares about the rule of law,” Judge Schiltz added. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

They are once again trying to demonize the victim. I won’t stand for it. Alex was the best of us. He was killed while protecting people.

Gen X are now parents and grandparents and it is abundantly clear we are Not OK ™️ And there was quite a lot going on in the world back then that contributed to that, but in the States, watching the space shuttle explode in real time did something to us

bc secretary noem is known for telling the truth 🙄

Sen. Collins says admin is ending its operations in Maine “While the Department of Homeland Security does not confirm law enforcement operations, I can report that Secretary Noem has informed me that ICE has ended its enhanced activities in the State of Maine"

The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

All the money, time, and seemingly inexhaustible resources poured into brutalization squads has never once planted a single tree. Or comforted the sick. Or shown decency without a price tag. Or been stronger than 2 babies holding hands.

This is how propaganda works. The Dems would rather look into the depths of Ken Martin’s ass for guidance than in the faces of the people being directly harmed. When they look in the mirror at night, they see a sphincter looking back at them.

Just a reminder that both Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost have been attacked this week. No outrage by right-wing media or even corporate media. Now imagine if this were done to Republicans. The entire system is rigged in favor of conservatives, folks. The double standards are just wild.

👏

The attacker followed multiple right-wing accounts on X, like Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro. On Facebook, his profile picture was Trump multiple times and he regularly criticized Democratic politicians. All of this seems to indicate the attack was fueled by his political sentiments. trib.al/U4mbUX0

He’s shaken because 5 women asked for his credentials…imagine ICE asking you for your papers…

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

Sarah Mullally confirmed as archbishop of Canterbury, becoming the first woman to lead the Church of England.

Jewish descendent of holocaust victims and survivors here. What he said was fine. Neighbours hiding minority children from uniformed government thugs in service to a nativist agenda is bad enough. I'm sure Anne would have preferred people spoke up BEFORE the Nazis got to the death camps stage.

It’s not that Republicans are trying to inspire a campaign of terrorist violence against Democratic lawmakers. It’s that they already have. With wounded and dead our side, frightened but resilient, and zero accountability for the people behind it.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

it is beautiful how we are having another moment of Bluesky unity. everybody basking in the glow of how Ilhan Omar was very visibly gonna punch that dude in the mouth

Night raids are what killed Amir Locke.

video of the moment a man tried spraying something at ilhan omar at her town hall in minneapolis tonight

turns out the person organizing my block is one of the clergy who got arrested at the airport protest ... these aren't agitators, these ARE Christians who are quite serious about their vow to support and protect their neighbors swallow that pill, christofascists

Chuck Schumer's starting position should be as maximalist as possible -- complete abolition of ICE, resignations of Bovino, Homan, Noem and Miller, unmasking of all agents, and prosecution by state authorities of the murderers. Don't start with what looks like a compromise half-measure.

really quite funny that weiss is a one-trick pony and that trick is “give jobs to my dumbass friends”

Good morning friends! Some things to remember when you call your senators today: 1. Renee Good's killer is still at large and has not faced justice 2. Alex Pretti's murderers are still at large, unnamed and still working on our dime. 3. 35 people died in ICE custody last year. 35 shattered families

As a VA nurse, Alex Pretti was a member of AFGE. This union also reps Border Patrol, and may have repped Pretti's killer. I talked to VA workers who are furious and want Border Patrol out of AFGE. "For a union member to kill another is a fundamental betrayal of what a union is supposed to be.”

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)

Like it or not (I don't), they're supposed to work for all of us. Call them and tell them to abolish ICE. 👇

ICYMI: I looked through a published archive of Boston newspapers from the 1760s, when British troops were stationed in the city. The accounts read remarkably similar to what's happening in Minneapolis. radleybalko.substack.com/p/two-cities...

"In the past, Republicans have just waited us out because they thought we would break. This would be a very dangerous moment for us to do that because of the specific moral question being put to the nation: Does the president of the United States get to murder American citizens?"

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

Schumer, Jeffries and much of the current Democratic Party is not built for this fight or made for this moment. They've had 10 years. Just look at their actions. Trust your own eyes. We have to cull the party and replace the Vichy Dems with actual fighters and reformers. It's the only way.

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.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

Ta-Nehisi has a way of clarifying things. So good to read him today. It’s in Vanity Fair but I got past the paywall by using Apple News.

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.

leadership right here

abolish ICE

If your Representative or Senators start going "whew! I guess it's ok to give DHS funding now" be ready to get on their cases
