think of all the college students who were disciplined or expelled for protesting genocide

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps. This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

This is just misleading. There is a big difference between saying state resources can’t be used to enforce fed’l civil immigration policy & local cops refusing to assist fed’l partners in an emergency. Deliberately conflating the two is disingenuous.

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

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...

Within 4 hours of ICE (actually CBP) killing Alex Pretti, the data suggested that the right wing spin machine was having trouble gaining traction, even on their home turf over on X. Here's a Substack I wrote analyzing X data from that time. katestarbird.substack.com/p/another-mu...

I think it's interesting that just hours ahead of @theverge.com reporting that OpenAI's president has donated $25 million to Trump that Katie Miller was over on Twitter falsely trying to clam that actually, the AI companies are biased against conservatives (the opposite of reality).

Please reshare the below post, unfortunately some accounts with lots of followers have reposted the false claim and loads of people are falling 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

Showing cross-racial solidarity is a potential death sentence. There are few things white supremacists hate more.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Multiple video angles show that the man who federal agents shot in Minneapolis was filming with his phone immediately prior to a physical altercation seemingly initiated by the feds in which they maced the man, wrestled him to the ground, removed a gun from his waistband, and then shot him unarmed.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Two different agents are visibly firing their guns, with at least 10 shots being heard in total. Most of them are fired after a brief delay, when the man is already lying motionless on the ground. The current videos of the shooting only show these two agents with guns drawn.

If you’ve seen the video from the lady in pink, which I highly suggest you don’t, the only conclusion you can come to is that DHS should burn to the ground for even suggesting those were “defensive shots”

After the first shots are fired, the man collapses on the ground. Agents back away. At least another 5 shots are fired toward the man who is already incapacitated on the ground.

Holy shit. He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him. His hands were on the pavement when he was shot. He never had his hand on a weapon. Cold blooded murder.

Nobody will forget nor forgive this.

So, the "Board of Peace" [sic] not only doesn't mention Gaza in particular; it proposes to make Donald Trump in particular (not the president of the United States) king of the world. 1/ reason.com/volokh/2026/...

Where we are: "... Military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days." Such an order is still seen as unlikely, the officials add.

Cartoon

From @faisalislam.bsky.social Surreal, but heard at Davos: Official Danish archives show Woodrow Wilson’s 1916 signature & Secretary of State Robert Lansing, committing US by treaty that Denmark has right to “whole of Greenland”, after Trump written denial of right.

NEW: This is a REAL story in The Globe and Mail today. Canadian Armed Forces are modelling responses to a US military invasion from the south. They expect Canadian forces to be overrun in a fortnight, so the plan centres on Afghanistan-style insurgencies to inflict mass casualties on US troops 👇

It’s Penguin Awareness Day which seems like a great excuse to post the greatest ever Wikipedia edit.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

This map exposes the Greenland lie. The US used to have a massive military footprint here. Today, they operate just ONE base. If Trump were actually worried about Russian vessels, he would simply open more bases, which Denmark allows

The Department of Homeland Security is refusing to release information on 3 detained Oglala Lakota tribal members who are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp for Native people, unless the tribe enters into an immigration agreement with ICE.

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

Must be a coincidence that they keep ripping off Nazi phrases

A Red Lake Ojibwe descendant was snatched by ICE in Minneapolis, and a Plains Cree woman was questioned. This is in addition to the four Oglala Lakota men who reportedly were grabbed by ICE. ictnews.org/news/i-felt-...

The moment ICE thug Jonathan Ross switched his phone (he was recording the verbal exchange) from his LEFT hand to his RIGHT hand to reach for his gun was the moment he decided to murder Renee Good. He was not in danger. He was an angry white MAGA man trying to put a woman "in her place".

I won't believe this is real until I see Sean Hannity telling the males in his audience that they need to eat balls to be real men.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS: SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.

There’s a lot of talk about NATO’s Article 5, and what it would mean if one NATO country attacked another. There’s not nearly enough attention being paid to Article 42.7 of the Treaty of Lisbon, and what happens if an EU member state is attacked.

WOW! Doug LaMalfa, a California Republican congressman, just died. So that means that Republicans are down TWO in their majority (MTG resigned yesterday). Democrats have one vacancy in a Texas seat after Sylvester Turner died.

This aged well.

Trump’s Maga movement ran as an explicit rejection of the neoconservative project led by George W Bush, Dick Cheney and the Republican Party. MAGA was supposedly against foreign wars, against policing the world, and against foreign projects. At one stroke, Trump has u-turned on this entirely.
