School administrators at some Atlanta area schools have threatened disciplinary action against students as more than 100 schools join national protest

In case someone is sceptical anyone could be profiting massively from Trump immigration policies. The more the people lose, the more these people win

Rest in laughter 😢 Catherine O’Hara, 71 — way too early

Great essay, unsurprisingly from the great Andrew Weinstein, which boils down to one simple caution: without a belief in our common humanity, anyone can become the “other” and be framed as “evil.” Don’t let yourself fall into that trap.

When Timothy Snyder talks, I tend to listen.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

"Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.” - lead study author Maria Steenland. In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.

“Melania” is truly the worst experience I’ve had in a theater” -Abraham Lincoln

They won’t investigate the murders of Good or Pretti, but they’ll investigate fake 2020 election fraud. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

Yes!

The extent to which residents of Minneapolis are more civic, courageous, and patriotic than business elites, conservative luminaries, and Republican members of Congress, is really, really striking. It’s a lesson not to be forgotten. It’s one that would not have surprised Hubert Humphrey.

“The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common”

"Let's talk about how crazy this is" and it's just something he made up

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.

Kudos to Andy Cohen for his closing monologue tonight calling out the government for the ICE raids in Minnesota—more of this from our media please. We shouldn’t require our entertainment show hosts to be the bearers of truth #andycohen #watchwhathappenslive

A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.

🤣🤣🤣 Disney Exec Reminds Toddler Only IP Goes On Fridge — theonion.com/disney-exec-...

Greg Ketter, the owner of DreamHaven Comics in Minneapolis. A legend in the biz, gassed by ICE. 70 years old and a total badass, both in the biz and on the street fighting for our republic. Salute!

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

A succinct analysis of what the US may be facing by deprioritizing and ceasing to recommend vaccines

I want a lot more of this

A war correspondent who says Minneapolis reminds him most of the Arab Spring, which he witnessed firsthand. Vivid portrait of decentralized resistance in the US, & the persistence of community organizing after George Floyd’s murder & the continued hypernormalization of trauma on our schoolchildren.

The kind of post that will almost certainly be vanishing from TikTok under its new administration

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Democracy dies in broad daylight

"Authoritarianism is the conversion of rule of law into rule by the lawless.” This quote from @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social is ringing true today in the US as it did in years past.

I know everyone's exhausted. But this is an excellent & succinct text account of the murder of Alex Pretti on Saturday morning the 24th. Jan 6 (5th anniversary) Jan 7 (Renée Good) Jan 24 (Alex Pretti) And so much more! Hell of a month.

Jesus. “How could this man, who had endured unspeakable cruelty in his childhood and youth, liberate himself so readily from his symptoms?” — Alice Miller, drama of the gifted child.

Who didn’t see that coming?

Remarkable stat.

This should be big news, but it’s barely a whisper. The Trump admin is focusing on the wrong problem. The fraud isn’t w/SNAP recipients, it’s with outside scammers. USDA let outdated SNAP cards stay vulnerable, and families lost about $555 million in food benefits, not to “cheating,” but to theft.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

It is important for the reality-based media to report on how Fox lies to its audience. More of this please. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/b...

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Chuck Schumer says Senate Dems won't support DHS funding. This thing is really moving now.

"X is a website operated by an abusive and hateful hundred-billionaire, overrun with racists and misogynists, mired in vitriol, and now complicit in the production of revenge porn and CSAM. It’s a haven of bile, abuse, and criminality just sitting on our phones."

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Democrat leaders should be in Minnesota right now, standing side by side with Walz and Frey and the community. They need to show solidarity and a united front. They must say Abolish ICE. They won't but they should. Trump is going to unleash hell on that state.

“There are many responses to the Pretti killing to undertake from many quarters. But above all, it’s the immediate responsibility of Congress. It is now a clarion call of a generation. Congress must answer it, swiftly, fully, and fearlessly.” open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...
