I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

Content warning. ICE fascists pistol whip a person, pile on him 5-1, and then murder him in broad daylight. Do not believe a word of the story from ICE or DHS. This is a fascist regime and they will lie. We must abolish and prosecute ICE. This cannot go on. youtube.com/shorts/2IqIn...

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

1/21/2026 - Minneapolis Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

The people of Minnesota continue to show awe-inspiring restraint and resolve in the face of escalating violence from the occupiers terrorizing their communities.

The roots of all our neuroses lie here, in the conflict between the longing for growth and freedom and our incapacity or refusal to pay the price in suffering of the kind which challenges the supremacy of the ego’s demands.~Helen M. Luke, The Way of Woman

This engraved Romano-Egyptian magical gem (green jasper) depicts the Egyptian god and psychopomp Anubis holding an ointment jar and standing over a lion-shaped bier. The mummified body of Osiris lies on top. 💀🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/ 100-125 CE. #GettyVilla 📸 me

The delicious orange-red color of this #Mycenaean sealstone almost distracts from its incredible engraved bull-leaping scene. The bull is realistically rendered, but the body of the leaper is elongated, shown in motion as he lets go of the bull's horns and prepares to land. 🏺 1/ 1630-1440 BCE. 📸 me

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas. ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

It could happen to ANYONE. And absolutely EVERYONE should be outraged by the abuse and cruelty we’re watching play out in our names. Our tax dollars are funding this. Citizens 👇🏽

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us. WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present. He was bundled into the van & taken away. Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?” I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

These men love that they are officially sanctioned to abuse women.

It’s not too late to book for this online short course later this month 👇 #medievalSky @warburginstitute.bsky.social @ies-sas.bsky.social palaeography.uk/study/short-...

Here's some ice I can get behind. The southern polar cap of Mars, imaged by ESA's Mars Express spacecraft in December 2012. Much of this ice is frozen CO₂, with some portion of conventional (to us) water ice, too.

Weekly reminder that tear gas is a chemical weapon banned by the Geneva Convention and if you use it in war you're supposed to go to the Hague.

It’s going to get worse before it gets better.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Across the country feminists are rising up to say ENOUGH. ICE murdered Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, and she wasn't the first to die by ICE's hands. We're taking action on January 10, on January 20, and every fucking week until they stop attacking our freedoms. Join us: https://bit.ly/4jBx7HU

Billionaires added $2.2 TRILLION in wealth in 2025. Elon Musk grew his wealth by $187 billion. Jeff Bezos grew his wealth by $14.6 billion. Mark Zuckerberg grew his wealth by $26 billion. The Trump era has been good to Trump’s billionaire donors, & terrible for the rest of us.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

In L.A., Rev. Francisco Garcia called her killing “murder at the hands of our tax dollars. State sanctioned. This cannot be, this cannot stand, and we offer our continued witness to stand against these atrocities, against this evil.”

This elaborate alarm clock from the 19th century prompted people to think about the shortness of life. When the alarm bell chimed, a small card running up the skeleton’s spinal column retracted to make the jaw open and the eyes roll. It's now at the Science Museum, London. #skystorians
