This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country. The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.

This is a remarkable story. Worth a minute of your time to read it. “I was hit so hard with the fact that this man would not do this for me,” she said. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

Protest sign in Minnesota today...

More of this, please

When ICE get a hold of you... You don't know if: 1) You will get raped 2) Be arrested 3) Sent to a detention camp 4) Ever see your family again 5) You're going to die 6) Be tortured 7) If you lose your children 8) End up in another country 9) You have any rights anymore 10) Get your meds

Woman marches in sub zero temps as part of a massive protest against what ICE has done to her state. And folks on BlueSky are busy complaining in her mentions from the comfort of their homes that she’s not doing it right.

Why is all of their messaging basically a rapist telling their victim to stop fighting it and let it happen? Oh, wait, I know why…

“.. We are learning to bully back,” the second European official said. “We’ve been too shy over the past years to apply counterpressure. There is a sense this stops now.” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

And using humanitarian funds that were pulled from actual humanitarian efforts to pay for this. Sickening.

Would the internet and social media have changed the way we get and digest information? Yes. Was it guaranteed that it would empower fascism? No. But the right adapted faster to the new technology. Saw the potential. Just read the Chris Lehane memo from 1995, I believe. Warned what was happening.

This thread is very useful in understanding why Americans are drifting into bespoke conspiratorial realities tailored to their own biases. But the big causal problem underlying the rise of conspiracies is money. Coordinated dark money networks—mostly on the right—and right-wing media.

WE ARE THE PATRIOTS.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

The Regime, well-known for its transparency & adherence to constitutional order, tried to pass this off as truth today.

This.

Gary Kasparov, as usual, perfectly understands what's going on.

this picture belongs in the history books next to a picture of what this wall looked like last week

When an ICE agent confronts you is "when your due process ends," says the member of Congress from the largest border district. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Telling people who fought and died by your side, after you got attacked and asked for help, that they're ungrateful moochers who never do anything for you, is really low. False, rude, and self-harming all in one. Denmark and other NATO allies are right to be appalled. I'm not sure what else to say.

Reps Tarra Simmons and Shaun Scott have introduced a bill in the WA State Legislature that would prohibit state and local law enforcement agencies from hiring individuals who were previously employed as sworn officers with ICE on or after Jan 20, 2025. This is called an idea whose time has arrived.

And you may ask yourself Well... how did I get here?

Trump's Board of Peace is a stunning study in Trump's character & modus operandi. This all started with grifting red hats. He kept going, Ultra-MAGA club, fake watches, $1 million a plate dinners, $10K selfies. No matter what he did, suckers kept giving him money. So why not a $1-billion/seat?

This is GENIUS

The Regime's strategy, laid bare. They only worry about controlling the narrative, so they control the thoughts and emotions of cult members. Then disinformation platforms pick up the 'story' and repeat it on blast for hours if not days. It's not that hard to see when you take the blinders off.

I know we normalize everything this thoroughly abnormal man does but to reiterate: the president is SUING a newspaper over a poll result he doesn’t like and claims not to believe. He is suing over a poll. Insanity. 25th Amendment territory. Again.

They defied congressional subpoenas and suffered zero consequences.

Sounds like premeditated murder to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

He understand the medium - simple visuals that penetrate cultist’s trance-like syncophancy

It's not an accident that they're choosing to go after/make an example of a Black woman, FTR

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Big payment headed Trump’s way in 3 … 2 …

We’re not calling ICE the Gestapo because we think it’s a cool insult for social media. We’re calling ICE the Gestapo because they’re terrorizing and murdering people. Like the Gestapo did.

Good rule of thumb that secret legal opinions are secret because they are indefensible. See also Torture Memos.

Not difficult at all for those who see immigrants & asylum seekers as less-than-human.

Just got an email from my kid’s basketball coach outlining the safety precautions the host school has put in place, including when and how they’ll go into lockdown if the federal secret police show up. Again, schools making plans to protect children from their own government.

Expected this, given the makeup of the 8th Circuit. I've been wondering if this is why Trump chose Minneapolis, actually. Blue governor, blue mayor, in a conservative circuit.

It’s important to note that even though the importers jacked up prices on the American consumer, it’s the corporations that get these refunds. Not the consumers. So the rich, as always, will get richer while American consumers will have paid the price. END/

Domestic terrorism & a violation of civil rights.

“Look what you made me do - you made me use force” -is always the last line with an abuser.

I've been saying to friends for a few months that the more I study authoritarianism in other countries, the more concerned I become that the CBS story is the sleeping giant here. The process has been a simmer (people inside the network have spoken out in real-time) but don't mistake slow for safe.

Well said. And if the federal laws won't do this, the states, which grant corporate status, can and should.

Speaking as an Eastern Kentucky native, this idea that coal is good for America, and more specifically for Appalachia is utter bullshit. The coal companies have done nothing but raped the environment in the middle Appalachians, kept its people and utter squalor....
