While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

what a legend lmao

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

For trans ppl who have received a letter/visit from the FBI (THREAD). Step 1. Call the National Lawyers' Guild federal defense hotline: www.nlg.org/nlg-announce... 2. DO NOT publicly talk about it or share the letter until you do (1), and understand the potential consequences 3. Spread the word!

And finally, whatever your gender, if you come across a trans person online or IRL who shares that they have been targeted in this way, 1. Send them the link to the NLG hotline: www.nlg.org/nlg-announce... 2. DO NOT demand that they share the letter with you or publicly as 'PROOF' Ty. <end>

If all you're willing to do is say "We're cooked" on a social media site, maybe it is all over. If you're willing to struggle alongside your friends and neighbors for democracy, then we've got a chance.

Read your comment section, NYT.

New: meet ELITE, the Palantir app ICE is using to find neighborhoods to raid. Map interface; officers search for immigrants; click person to bring up individual dossier. This is clearest link between what Palantir is building and ICE's activities on the ground yet www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

Which types of welfare fraud are politely litigated between white collar lawyers, and which types of welfare fraud are used to justify an immigration purge and shutting off resources to the poor?

ICE tear-gassed a family car with six kids in it, including a six month old.

authoritarianism does not look for truth, it looks for reduced cognitive load

Now we'll see if Alito keeps his word from the Texas case that California can do whatever it wants, too...or if he, like Trump Judge Lee in dissent here, says nahhh Dems are the real racists

Would be nice if big media would point at how stupid & useless this plan is

Asking the ICE agent beating a guy up on the pavement to hold still so I can scan his QR code that he was required to wear instead of a badge that can simply be read

Just another morning in the Twin Cities, keeping my eyes on the preschool parent signal chat to make sure none of my child’s classmates, their parents, or their teachers were kidnapped by the federal government in front of the school.

NEW: After doctors sent her home with a racing heart, Ciji Graham came to believe the best way to protect her health was to end her pregnancy. But new restrictions in NC and nearby states made finding an abortion provider difficult. www.propublica.org/article/nort...

A quick 🧵 about Thurgood Marshall, civil rights, and Trump’s recent argument that, “White people were very badly treated, where they did extremely well and they were not invited to go into a college or university.” (You can find more in chapter 8 of The State Must Provide)

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

This!

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...

There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter

Cops stand with ICE bsky.app/profile/erin...

Please consider taking the training. Become knowledgeable. The more trained legal ovservers, the higher the amount of better quality evidence we all can collect.

Every Dem lawmaker should be saving clip amongst reasons to abolish ICE/CPB. They killed NPR b/c it helped poor kids learn how to read

Bovino on the officer who killed Renee Good: "Hats off to that ICE agent"

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.

Newsom is useful in the same way MTG is. Great that he’s there to make fun of Trump, but that doesn’t mean he’s actually got good ideas. Being pro-tax-the-billionaires is the lowest hanging fruit for 2028 aspirants and he can’t even clear that bar.

Gavin Newsom has terrible political instincts. Cozying up to racists like Charlie Kirk. Attacking trans kids. Defending billionaires. When left to his own devices he always picks the wrong path.

Here are videos sent to me of the incident Frey details (1/2)

the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

NEW: Court records obtained by @wired.com show that an FBI agent's testimony contradicted claims Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good, made under oath in December; the testimony also raises questions about Ross following his training. This is by @hudsongiles.bsky.social and me:

PSA

What did I say.

Will never forget this very bad take from Derek Hunter.

Has the @thehill.com retracted this trash yet?

Chances of a retraction when the inevitable happens?

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Context is clear. They’ll shoot us if we don’t do exactly as they say. This was inevitable from DHS’s inception by GWB.

To understand JD Vance, you need to meet the “TheoBros," a group of extremely online young Christian men who want to end the 19th Amendment, restore public flogging, and make America white again.

💯

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive. The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

A suburban mom with stuffed animals in the glove box and her dog in the back seat was executed in broad daylight and they're calling her a domestic terrorist. Murderers.

18/ SACR founder Charles Haywood says that “sex discrimination should be not only 100% legal; it should be aggressively expected and demanded…” (Again, Josh Abbottoy of the Frontier Foundation, which wants the Presidio for a “Freedom City”, reportedly belongs to SACR).

Unsurprisingly, Trump's immigration crackdown is not delivering labor market improvements for the US-born Over the last year, native-born unemployment is up from 3.9% to 4.3% while native-born employment has decreased by a similar amount

@cbsnews.com ”bothsidesing” murder…

Res, and I cannot stress this enough, ipsa loquitur. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

Since last year, Trump admin planned what to do if ICE agents were accused of crimes (even murder): Protect them “no matter what." Trump laid out ways to retaliate: —Refuse to hand over an agent —Charge local officials with “obstructing" —Threaten to cut off more funding led by @swin24.bsky.social
