"reviewed by thousands of Americans" That's... not how this works.

this is insane

I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis. Maybe I'm wrong, but 1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city. 2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis. 3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

There is an area in the ICE detention center in Minneapolis designated specifically for American citizens. Contemplate that for a minute.

No way.

🤔

Hmmm

If you're wondering why UK politicians aren't speaking out, the US has been an ally for 70+ years. This Trump admin has been going for one. They're just not going to speak out this soon.

Raising prices even further for Americans? Take that, EU!

Smarter people than me are obviously going through the details on all of this stuff but I genuinely don't see how any of the multiple insane things Trump is doing right now ever actually work out

Incredible stuff. PS, post is way too long to show in full, short of zooming out and making the text unreadable.

How exactly do you sue someone for "debunking" you? Did JPM C violate their own terms of service?

knock me over with a feather

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV experts rejoiced about Trump's approach towards Greenland, since they believe it ushers in a cynical new world order, where the U.S. withdraws from NATO, gets control over the Western Hemisphere — and Russia takes the rest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3BF...

lol

Parmi les restrictions, les agents ont reçu l’ordre de ne pas arrêter ou détenir des manifestants dans leur véhicule qui «ne font pas obstruction» à leur action ➡️ https://l.lavoixdunord.fr/ERFs

Not The Onion. Apparently.

Participation trophies have made American men into weak, feminized soy boys. Here’s why I’m glad that Maria Machado gave her peace prize to Donald Trump

Trump lies about peaceful protesters again.

i'm not totally on the "ban phones for kids" thing because i think it doesn't really work, but i also think that discouraging technology use in some ways among young kids is good

Devastating new CNN poll on the anniversary of Trump’s first year in office: voters think he’s made everything worse — crime, free speech, health, global security. Literally every promise. www.cnn.com/2026/01/16/p...

THE HUMAN BRAIN: so we’re going to need between seven and nine hours of sleep every night in order to function HUMANS: okay THE HUMAN BRAIN: and I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure we never, ever get it.

Guinea pigs in slow motion.

So, someone did interview the pastor who was briefly detained by ICE.

“Noem: U.S. Citizens Should Be Prepared To Show Proof.” Did you vote for a “Show Me Your Papers” society?

I believe the judge simply said she hadn't seen enough evidence yet. I'll try and pull the original ruling. Safe to say he won't be calling her "highly respected" if she does rule against him.

Whatever you think about Trump, you can't accuse him of underselling anything.

As a taunt?

Government investigates six-month-old baby on suspicion of domestic terrorism.

Also, it’s not even clear that US citizens who *are* actually brought to Whipple are ever fully recorded in the books. My wife, for example, was shackled there for a whole day back in November as intimidation and then released without charges as if it never happened.

I thought Trump was the interim President of Venezuela.

The people suggesting that the UK should "try a new party" are completely missing the fact that Reform is basically just a bunch of Tories from the last decade.

Bless this furious ex-wife for giving us a little bit of a respite from the horrors of living in Trumpistan.

Whole of the U.S. right now.

The man the Trump administration accused of leaking classified info to the Washington Post notes in court papers that prosecutors have not presented any evidence he actually disseminated classified info. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We are all this dude.

I think the plan is absolutely to have the military on the streets in November. Have the election while voters look down the barrel of a gun. A bit like Putin's fake referendum in Crimea in 2014.

They're holding people hostage.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Trump is falsely accusing peaceful protesters of being "paid agitators" so he can illegally send goons to attack them. Fascism 101.

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

The Trump administration’s blitz of immigration agents to Minneapolis and St. Paul has ground one of the largest metro economies in America to a halt, business owners and local leaders say. https://cnn.it/49UzJgC

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Requiring ICE agents to wear prominent identification is good. But a system of ”citizens should walk up very close to agents extending their phone to hold next to the agent” is a Dem-brained way of getting people beaten and killed under this administration.

You don't say. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Seems designed to cost her money and intimidate. What court can convict her of reading the actually policy for the armed forces?

And there goes the speech or debate clause.

Quartering troops in people's home by the end of the year.

Really working their way through the ol' First Amendment.
