"A 5-year-old boy wearing a Spider-Man backpack and an oversized hat was detained with his father by immigration authorities, one of 4 students who have been apprehended in a suburban Minneapolis school district during the past two weeks, school officials said." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

For those wondering how Canada profits from U.S. war crimes, they sell America huge amounts of steel and aluminum. You know, things used to build boats, bombs, and planes we sent to Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq again and/or we donated to the Gaza conflict. Canada is not innocent.

Vox seems to have fallen head over heels for Carney’s Davos speech. I was not so impressed. Canada’s attempts to claim the moral high ground is laughable. Not only was Carney’s critique of the world order tame, I don’t recall Canada ever doing anything other than profit from U.S. war crimes.

This kind of stuff gets me thinking about how to get student loan forgiveness. I’ve increasingly come to the conclusion the only way to get student loan forgiveness is to forgive ourselves and just all stop paying. Nothing less radical seems to work.

This piece showed up in my Apple News feed, the sentiment is nice. Students shouldn’t be harmed by student loans. Just there is no such thing as a good student loan. Student loans just harm people, espicially in today’s economy, Education is a right and should be free for all.

Yet another article claiming Mamdani is in the crosshairs since becoming mayor. This time it’s for backing union built affordable housing … which was a campaign promise of his. How dare a politician govern like he told voters he would.

For those wonder what specifically makes him unable to win the White House, it’s not just his bad policies. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the man is a spoiled brat.

While the Atlantic tries to portray Josh Shapiro kindly, his book with claims he withdrew from consideration for VP and attempts to paint the VP vetting as inappropriate prove he is not a viable 2028 candidate. If he is the nominee, you will see third party and spoiled ballots spike.

This polling shows that Democrats can win Congress but without new leaders and fresh faces, they will not keep Congress. By refusing to retire, the old guard is setting up an electoral crisis. Schumer, Jeffries, and the rest won’t fix it, so primary voters must right the ship.

Polling finds Democrats have serious electoral advantage heading into midterms. Yet, a major sign of trouble remains: Voter approval of Democratic congressional leaders is rock bottom with 28 percent approval — even lower than the approval rating of GOP congressional leaders.

Denmark moves troops into Greenland. In a reminder the Europeans plan to capitulate: Denmark so far has sent a whopping 100 soldiers the island. Denmark’s Defense Minister also stated “If the Americans withdraw from NATO tomorrow, we will have a huge challenge in fending for ourselves.”

Hey @moderation.bsky.app WTF? This is not adult content. Am I the only one seeing an adult content label to this article?

Some may ask what am I saying here. I’m not saying what Americans should do, but what is clearly happening. There is a road to peaceful political discourse. The federal government has shown instead to be walking another path.

Political scientists are starting to say that Americans may start to pivot to new forms of resistance and rebellion in the face of unhinged state violence. From a general strike style walk out Jan 20 to polling showing Americans growing support for extreme resistance, we inch closer to a civil war.

So apparently Dylan Mulvaney got cast in a Broadway musical... which resulted in transphobes losing their minds and threatening to "Bud Light" the show... and now the show's Twitter page is locked down. Cool cool.

Just so people know, Harris isn’t in trouble just cause of her connections to a failed presidency, she also has terrible policy proposals too.

Establishment Democrats: Joe Biden was amazing and there is no reason to bring up any alleged flaws. How dare you! Also Establishment Democrats: Harris is unelectable because she’s tied to the wildly unpopular former president, Joe Biden.

Regulations work.

Nearly half of LGBTQ+ adults (47.5 percent) report being less out somewhere in their lives over the last 12 months.

If you read one thing today, it should be this Iran report says 16,500 dead in ‘genocide under digital darkness’ www.thetimes.com/article/01ba...

Bishops telling priests to prepare wills because they could be killed by government agents isn’t normal. These are not statements one makes in societies where you can solve problems peacefully and at the ballot box.

Want to know true evil? Just look at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. To be upset that the government won’t garnish people’s wages over student loans is disgusting. This is your problem with Trump? This?

Ethnic cleansing is a war crime. It’s time to stop talking about resistance and start demanding states put boots on the ground to defend communities.

On some lighter news, people blame Kathleen Kennedy for all of Star Wars’s problems. Seeing what she green lit with Andor, I disagree. The two people that ruined Star Wars are Bob Iger and JJ Abrams.

Was it deliberate that the Washington Post did not include Nazi Joseph Goebbels in its story today about people who were gifted a Nobel Prize by the winner? I suspect it was deliberate because Jeff Bezos’ watered down Post frequently goes out of its way to protect Trump.

For context: Trump has over stepped before. Remember on Jan 6, 2021 it was on the orders of the governors of VI and MD — not the president — that troops came to defend the capitol. The time is now for governors to restore order again.

Do people understand Trump’s actions in Minnesota are an act of war on the state? Gangs attacking people, fake DOJ investigations, attempts to seize the state national guard. He’s not gonna stop with one state. CA, NY, IL, WA, OR, MA, VI, RI, VT, PA, CO, CT, NM, MD must come to Minnesota’s aide.

“Like, it was the most miserable day of my whole life. But I would do it again because I think that people need to know how evil ICE is and that this is happening." www.thehandbasket.co/p/queer-tran...

“don’t take the bait!!!” THEY’RE PEOPLE BEING TERRORIZED BY ARMED FEDERAL AGENTS, NOT TROUT

State leaders who refuse to send in police or national guard units to stop this are part of the problem. Forcing all non white people into hiding is a clear human rights abuse. States cannot just sit by and allow this to happen.

Minnesota resident Alice Valentine says she and her girlfriend suffered severe mistreatment at the hands of ICE.

For you liberals that care more about Roberts Rules of Order than the sanctity of human life, here you go: Federal judge rules ICE must stop harming protestors. The governor of Minnesota can call on state police or even the national guard to enforce the federal ruling.

Democratic politicians facing frivolous criminal investigations from Trump: Kat Abughazaleh Elissa Slotkin Jason Crow Tim Walz Jacob Frey Letitia James Lisa Cook Mark Kelly Eric Swalwell Adam Schiff

Government’s, be they a city, state, or nation, have a fundamental duty to protect their citizens’ inalienable rights to life and liberty. This duty supersedes any court or law. A government that abandons its duty by harming its citizens or ignoring such violence loses its legitimacy to govern.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Walz has done nothing to protect the citizens of Minnesota from these unhinged attacks by federal actors, all he has done is ask nicely for this to stop, yet still Trump will attempt to arrest and remove him from office.

Already 10 people — 4 senior leaders of the civil rights division of the Department of Justice along with 6 federal prosecutors in Minnesota — have resigned over how the Trump regime has handled the murder of Renee Nicole Good. This is not normal.

What, the person trying to give Venezuela’s oil away to the United States gave Trump her Nobel peace prize. How shocking 🤣 So sad lifting up American oil interests has blown up in Norway’s face.

Companies don’t really support Trump … or at least executives and their PR people want us to think that. Don’t just read what these guys say on background, look at these institutions’ actions and words.

any one of these corporations could form a dedicated and loyal customer base for a generation by simply posting “fuck ice”

Parents hide who they are at their children’s schools, workers shrink themselves to keep their jobs, and couples think twice before holding hands on the street, Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson said.

Our granite countertops are killing workers. We gotta ban them. This pains me but I don’t see how we can allow these things to continue.

Trump invoking the insurrection act is an act of war on the people of Minnesota. Yes, when you send federal agents into a city and through these agents they instigate random violence, the people have a right to defend themselves.

Headlines about questions of training do a disservice to the American people. Given the comments by Trump and the DHS secretary, we know these tactics are not a bug.

Every ICE homicide victim as a character from Game of Thrones. by Chris Cillizza

But Dems must support a US victory 🤦‍♂️

“Donald the dove”

Trump officials discuss U.S. claim to Greenland with NATO members, signaling something the left has always known: NATO members are just American vassal states and will capitulate to the US. Trump will take Greenland and NATO members will go along with it.

New York based pro Israel group Betar US known for compiling names of Palestinian activists and giving the list to the Trump administration to attempt to deport people forced to settle with state of New York. Must cease its harassment of Muslim, Palestinian and Jewish people.

Does this feel odd to anyone else? Like, it is starting to feel like protests in Iran don’t feel as organic when oil companies talk of stabilizing Iran. And I’m sure the timing is completely unrelated to Trump’s actions in Venezuela.
