Wow. www.nj.com/politics/202...

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

“Some Republicans are now open to demands by Democrats to stop roving ICE patrols, to require search warrants for immigration enforcement officers and to establish a code of conduct governing use of force.” God forbid, search warrants and a code of conduct. apple.news/Ar4I__goTSFi...

I'm not a lawyer. Is there really nothing the local police can do when federal agents violate the rights of one of their residents? Can't a federal agent violate state law?

add George Will to the list. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Add Rand Paul to the list of people I have long disagreed with saying sensible and helpful things. Important in the current climate. Bill Kristol is also on the list.

The proposal to send ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to a foreign country makes it pretty clear that ICE is not about immigration. I hope Italy does not allow them into their country. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings. Get them out of there.

If only the Democratic leaders in the house and senate were woke like Bill Kristol.

We are still mourning Charlie

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

I'm so sorry for your loss. We will not forget.

this is it. this is the level. this is the standard for democratic officials. anything less is intolerable.

Agree. No one outside the US, who has a choice, should be enabling a lawless and lying regime. Which has become a threat to its own people and the entire world. (Speaking as an American patriot.)

What stayed with Amundson most [was] the realization that came while she was holding the agent’s head in her hands and keeping his airway open. “I was hit so hard with the fact that this man would not do this for me,” she said. Her mind went immediately to Renee Good.

A little piece of ice. www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected...

US on the verge of losing measles elimation status. “In previous times, it would be unheard of to lose your elimination status, unless it was a war-torn, collapsing country.” Hmm. apple.news/AbZlSE7lLTMS...

It turns out that when Trump warned us about armed gangs terrorizing our cities he was right, but they are his gangs.

This post by @pkrugman.bsky.social on "Sundowning" is worth reading. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-sundow... Agree with this conclusion:

Time for another FIFA Nobel peace prize, this one for the war between Minnesota and the United States of America. www.cnn.com/2026/01/18/u...

Stephen Miller and Trump want conflict and crisis to unleash the Insurrection Act. It's necessary for martial law, which is the end game. Everyone who says that is impossible isn't paying attention.

Unfortunately, we live in a country where this is the appropriate response to this kind of news.

The best thing about back to back meetings with no breaks for the entire work day is having 8 or 10 hours without news. Also, shouldn’t it be Native Americans detaining ICE agents for being here without justification, rather than the other way around?

ICE is not competent to carry out its mission. It needs to be abolished. www.latimes.com/california/s...

It's sad - but I guess true - that a Republican saying that a President shouldn't imprison a Federal Reserve Chairman for a policy difference is "remarkable". How unbelievably low the modern Republican Party has sunk.

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.

Signs you might be a far white authoritarian party (#3283):

Not a lot daylight between news in the US and elsewhere

This is very revealing about intent and response. We have to continue to appreciate that a major goal is intimidation and they see steps up to murder as acceptable tactics.

Chris Murphy is on point here and sounding the alarm. They're going for martial law.

Yes. And the same is true for Trump, too.

The reason for us all to fight now is that Putin has ruled Russia as a dictator for 20 years. If we want a different path in America you should do everything you can to fight. Now. While it can still make a difference.

Yes, the executive branch is trying to usurp power from the legislature. But seems like the bigger issue is plundering and aggression against a sovereign nation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_o...

Life in the urban hellhole paulkrugman.substack.com/p/notes-on-n...

By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

Time for FIFA to give Trump another Peace Prize.

The FIFA Peace Prize used to mean something

I don't know NYT. Can Iran's Ayatollah legally 'run' the United States? What kind of question is this?

I am a broken record but: this will require Supreme Court reform. There is no chance the John Roberts Six allow prosecutions of Trump officials to stand. 1/

Yes, clearly true. Is the "pile" being carefully recorded? Democrats in congress ought to be documenting all of this in detail.

A year in and Greg Sargent is cautiously optimistic. newrepublic.com/article/2046... "...angrily demanding the arrests of 3,000 undocumented immigrants per day. Nine months later, Miller is still two-thirds short of that goal" Or, acc to Adam Smith, "There is a great deal of ruin in a nation."
