I’d wager it’s all those damn windmills

TODAY: Journalist Don Lemon is set to be arraigned on federal criminal charges in connection with a protest at a Minnesota church. The case is far from the slam dunk some Justice Department officials have portrayed it to be. We explain ⬇️⬇️ www.lawfaremedia.org/article/minn...

for better or worse, this will probably be the most successful and compelling argument by communities against ICE concentration camps being built: (from this piece: archive.is/eGsQf)

I read like 1/4 of this and had to stop. It’s disgusting. @repdexteror.bsky.social Secretary Noem must be impeached and removed from office.

The downstream impacts of this are immeasurable. Just one example: there’s mounting evidence that infections from the Epstein-Barr virus may trigger onset of Multiple Sclerosis. An effective EBV vaccine could curb a chronic, potentially disabling, and ruinously expensive to treat disease

This has to stop. The thugs involved and those that continue to fail to hold these thugs accountable are going to reap the whirlwind

Into the void: - the half time show was awesome - the Puerto Rican linemen segment was really cool and powerful - the shout out to all of countries in the Americas will be legendary

AND STAY OUT

They’ll be hearing from his father

How do you lose track of and then “find” $106,000,000?!?!

Billionaires suck. So here's a story about Greg Popovich spending his money on wine and food in order to create community and family and in doing so changes the lives of everyone he comes into contact with regardless of where they stand in life www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

Enough with the fucking Disney adults

Would these nondisclosure agreements be enforceable? - Surely there a public policy arguments against them. What about whistleblower laws? - What was the consideration? I don’t think continued employment is sufficient. Did they get bonuses?

This was such an inspiring read. Thank you for sharing it!

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

Good grief

COLBERT: “.. Do not compare ICE or the border patrol to the Nazis. .. The Nazis were willing to show their faces.” @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

Kurt Vonnegut wept

Establishing the run against authoritarian rule, as @edsbs.bsky.social says, requires the little things, the acts of resistance and kindness and community that eventually add up to something much larger and transformative. I wrote about it for BadFaithTimes.com. badfaithtimes.com/we-must-esta...

One thing that I think was a massive mistake* was not getting Articles of Impeachment voted on on January 7th.

No government can risk sending their country’s team (in many cases, with their country’s most popular public figures) into a potential hostage situation. They’d be courting disaster.

It's obviously good that citizens with smartphones can create multiple records of these shootings and undercut propaganda and government lies about them. But I find it a little deranging that being an informed news consumer in 2026 requires watching what are essentially snuff videos in slow-mo.

Curious why ICE and CBP agents are so brutal? Here's a useful explainer I wrote last week, before Saturday's outrageous murder, about how uniquely unsuited ICE and CBP are for this moment—and why they were so corruptible into Trump's own fascist secret police: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...

Great thread by the best historian of the modern American conservative movement.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Very helpful and timely. Thank you, @tressiemcphd.bsky.social!

Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity." Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."

JD being trotted out to eat shit again

Liar

This story moved me to tears of joy, for this community’s love and humanity, and to tears of despair, for the cruelties that MAGA has inflicted on these people.

The USA. Entering homes without warrants .. apnews.com/article/ice-... .. detaining five year-old children .. people.com/ice-detains-... .. and scrutinizing federal funding of Democrat-led states. www.cnn.com/2026/01/22/p... But at least we didn’t go to war with Europe.

This NPR story also contains the most Minnesota lady shit I've ever seen in my life. The feels like tomorrow is -30F (not a typo) and JB does. not. care. about that "little chill air." www.npr.org/2026/01/21/n...

The thing about America today is that if you just describe what is happening objectively and unemotionally you sound hysterical and partisan and what you have to remind people is that the reason for that is not you, it's the people doing the things you are describing

This is a factual statement.

@bubbaprog.xyz www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJU4... Some of the stuff Tony Dokoupil of CBS Evening News says off air.

You got me, MAGA. I’m triggered. When does this end?

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: “Immigration detainees are violent criminals.”

The government says they’re only going after the “Worst of the Worst” This is Liam. He’s 5 years old. ICE “detained” a Liam on his way home from school He was then “moved” from MN to TX Liam’s family didn’t know where he was for 24 hrs God forgive us

This is morally indefensible. I’m ashamed of our government.

Why is everyone talking about Acting Field Director David Easterwood?

van hollen

no greenlander ever called me a libtard

I’m more and more convinced that Trump’s cabinet members, spokespeople, and advisors that get TV time were intentionally selected to piss people off and collapse “the Cathedral”
