I already preordered and you should too.

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”

Americans have a First Amendment right to peacefully assemble, document public actions, and express their views without being assaulted or arrested. ICE's unchecked & reckless actions towards Americans are dangerously escalating tensions. Why is this admin choosing this? apnews.com/article/minn...

So, they’re selling this not because it’s so great but because they’ve all made a huge investment in it.

The reports coming out of Minnesota of the brutality of ICE terror are harrowing. What's clear to me, however, is that the people are rising up to resist this violence head on. Resistance is everywhere. We may be on our own, but we are not alone. "Every time a whistle blows, they don’t win."

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

related to that, my brother who lives in the epicenter of the raids and protests in Minneapolis says that the sounds of the whistles and honking are welcome, inspiring, good sounds - those "shrill" whistles and horns communicate that, when ICE invades, you are not alone -

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

someone popped into my comments and was like “is anyone doing laundry for folks afraid to leave their house?” because their laundromat is usually full and is empty. what an amazing idea. make a google form. send the link to people with a resource directory. start doing laundry.

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

We need more studies of the people who watch Star Wars and dream of becoming an imperial stormtrooper.

We are dealing with an institution modeled on slave catching and the great news is that we also have resistance models This is a great book about the Underground Railroad in an urban environment, New York City: wwnorton.com/books/gatewa...

GOP Adds ‘ICE Kills Everyone’ Pillar To 2026 Platform https://theonion.com/gop-adds-ice-kills-everyone-pillar-to-2026-platform/

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested. It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying." Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Here are his full comments:

Interesting that the people who threatened people's jobs and lives for simply reposting Charlie Kirk's own words are busy vilifying a woman who was shot three times in the face by the gatekeepers of the state.

…it should break your heart to kill.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

ICE OUT NOW

Our reporters are on site at the vigil - network congestion preventing uploads currently. We would estimate up to 10,000 people are attending the vigil near 34th and Portland Avenue in Minneapolis at this time.

BBC is reporting that the same ICE officer who murdered Renee Good was involved in another violent incident in June.

New: I spoke with a Colombian asylum seeker who was the victim of a ‘Kavanaugh stop’ about what it was like to be racially profiled, abducted in front his family and held in ICE detention hours from home for more than a month—despite doing everything “the right way.” This is Nick’s story.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

The death toll is now 80? I know the pandemic made life cheap amid mass death, but 80 dead is staggering

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world. But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

Wrote a thing: The carnage associated with fossil fuel is why speeding the transition to renewables is good for international stability as well as everything else. Fossil fuel is inseparable from violence, and dependence on it it has created a brutal world order....

he's just gonna keep doing illegal shit as long as everyone keeps letting him

What if instead of spending millions if not billions on military operations against Venezuela, the US invested in treatment and rehab for people addicted to drugs and oil in the US.

BREAKING: Venezuela's vice president demands the U.S. free Maduro and calls him the country's rightful leader during speech.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

No war for oil in Venezuela. No war on Gaza. No war.
