The work it will take to win the midterms is already happening across the nation. But to secure our strongest check on Trump’s power, we must keep organizing all year. Please pitch in to help us grow this movement and power the grassroots organizing that will make our electoral wins possible.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

U.S. gave $7 million to island nation of Palau to take 75 people (not including transportation costs to U.S.)

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

As President Trump cracks down on immigration in Minneapolis, he’s finding the public is not with him. The majority of voters disapprove of ICE’s work and think the agency is making cities less safe, polls show.

I'd wager this is the angriest statement ever issued by the Nobel Peace Prize people...

Trump tariffing countries over Greenland is a test. If Europe just swallows it and tries to move on, it increases the odds of the WH thinking it can seize Greenland without consequences. Europe therefore has to respond. Euro publics have had enough and want their leaders to push back 2/

This story is one of lapses in cybersecurity and digital preservation. I read it thinking of Palantir and its access to NHS data… what could go wrong for the people of the UK? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Wow: “Good thinks she’s still in the normative state. She has no idea of the peril she’s in. She seems relaxed. She [tells] the agent that she’s not mad at him.” But she’d unknowingly crossed “the border to the prerogative state [where] you can be shot dead recklessly..and no one will pay the price”

If anything, the terrorism is more important to their project than the deportations themselves. The only way they could ever "remove" 14 million people from this country is for most of them to remove themselves.

How shameful that FIFA chose to throw their flawless reputation down the drain

Now are ICE and CBP lowering their standards? Absolutely. Were their standards high to begin with? No, especially not for Deportation Officers and Patrol Agents. Anyone who has tracked the culrure of CBP and ICE knows they're (worse than many cops even) an armed Fifth Column for Trump since day one

This is bad. Like Reconstruction Era bad. www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

ICE is being suffocated by people LEGALLY and PEACEFULLY observing - following, recording, alerting. It’s plenty confrontational: they do not want to be followed, and ICE can become violent at the drop of a hat. But it is not crossing a line that will justify them using force against use.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

This is perfect advice for doing AltText; no notes 10/10

It’s nice that a number of Republican electeds are standing up for America’s long-term alliances. But there’s only one way they can possibly save U.S. power and security: impeach and convict Trump, Vance, and the entire cabinet. If they do it soon they’ll even still hold the presidency.

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."

I often forget that not everyone knows this song. Do you have a track your friends made in your youth that mattered as much as any huge hit? A song so good it doesn't make sense that everyone doesn't know it?

Must stop looking at the news. Ugh. So here's a picture from Jan 2024 on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in #Iceland on my very snowy trip.

Minnesotans are waving American flags. The head of ICE dresses like a Nazi.

Where do I sign

The EU stands in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland. Dialogue remains essential, and we are committed to building on the process begun already last week between the Kingdom of Denmark and the US.

AGREE 💯 👇

NEWS: The U.S. Department of Justice has formally moved to block the appointment of an independent monitor or special master to oversee the release of Epstein-related records

Honestly all Denmark needs to do is to withdraw all Ozempic exports to the US and Americans will finally revolt

Officers in the Minneapolis-area participating in a U.S. immigration enforcement operation can't detain or tear gas peaceful protesters who aren't obstructing authorities, a judge ruled Friday.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

I like this "too weak to be useful, or too strong to be comfortable" framing.

My latest in the @theguardian.com on how the Trump admins latest immigrant visa ban takes us back to the racial quotas abolished in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It would be funny, if it wasn’t so infuriating, that this is the second time people have elected Donald Trump and then almost immediately been like “wait what the fuck we hate this guy”

Gov. Walz to MS NOW: "Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic. "The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

This kind of messaging is intended to drown moms in research, risk, and responsibility. The goal is to keep them so anxious and so busy that they can't work for pay--especially not in high-powered "mens" jobs--or get involved in any kind of efforts to push for progressive change.

Trump escalates his attack on Minnesota Democrats as Justice Department launches a criminal investigation into Gov Walz and Mayor Frey apparently on the theory that their objections to ICE amount to illegal interference, sources tell @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

A US early-warning radar of one sort or another has been on Greenland for nearly 70 years—without the need for US sovereignty. Greenland is also covered by Article Five & US could protect it v Russia or China. Conflating Greenland's military importance with the issue of US ownership is dishonest.

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

A post-truth information environment is very fertile soil for the growth of fascism, especially when the entire federal government is controlled by shameless fabulists who control huge swaths of the information economy and have cowed much of the rest of it into submission.

So why did CBS News report he had internal bleeding?

As you talk about Greenland, please make sure you are talking about the >56,000 Inuit who have called the Island their home for thousands of years. Here are 2 stories that include their voices, concerns, and hopes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... canadiangeographic.ca/articles/buy...

About this: This practice of churches providing groceries/supplies to immigrant families who are afraid to leave their homes out of fear of ICE is widespread, and widely reported. What's different here is the *scale* of operations this one church is overseeing, and how public they are about it.

seeing corporate outlets repeatedly refer to ICE beating the shit out of protesters as “clashes” may be the thing that sends me over the edge

It's all a bit too obvious...

For every ICE arrest that draws a crowd with cameras and whistles, there are an untold number happening quietly when no one is watching.

This is the way.

Jimmy Kimmel offers to let Trump have one of his trophies if he will pull ICE out of Minneapolis.

Some folks say they see no ethical issues since Guinea-Bissau is “too poor” to roll out the birth dose & that won’t happen until next year—with Gavi funding But you can’t ethically exploit scarcity. The trialists will knowingly protect just half the newborns; they have the means to protect ALL.
