Holy shit. Trump sent a message to the Prime Minister of Norway threatening to take Greenland because the Norwegians didn’t give him the Nobel Peace Prize. “…I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace…”

Multi-layered “look what you made me do” lie. Because Norway didn’t give a him prize (it doesn’t decide winners) for ending wars (he didn’t end) the US won’t be peaceful anymore (bombing multiple countries) and will take Greenland (part of Denmark, not Norway) to stop Russia (it’d help Russia).

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.

We are so far beyond "show us your papers." They don't want to see the papers. We are now into the "give us the names" stage of the occupation.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

This week, I spoke with a St. Paul woman who told me ICE came to her door and asked her to report on her "Asian neighbors." The Hmong community, the large majority of whom are in this country legally for decades now, is in hiding.

The conservative influencer, who had a child with Elon Musk, accused the xAI's Grok of generating sexualized images of her and undressing photos of her as a child.

NEW — ICE violence has spread well beyond Minneapolis, with agents landing in small cities like St. Cloud. I spoke with Alice Valentine, a local queer trans woman, who protested ICE on Monday and was pepper sprayed, beaten and jailed as a result, along with her girlfriend. This is Alice's story:

NYT - President Trump pardons a fraudster for the second time. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

someone in Coon Rapids MN reports that ICE is knocking on doors "specifically on Latino houses"

"A majority, 58%, calls the first year of Trump’s term a failure."

A father says he was with his six children when they were hit by munitions deployed by law enforcement in response to demonstrations that turned violent in Minneapolis. Three of the children went to the hospital, including a 6-month-old baby, who stopped breathing after being hit by tear gas

remember - something you can do is share stuff. dont assume "everyone has seen it." odds are they haven't. you're not just one voice in the wilderness. you're part of a team, part of an army. they hate you exposing them. it drives them insane. keep doing it. fuck 'em.

I put together local journalism covering Minnesota. @racketmn.com @minnpost.bsky.social @startribune.com @minnesotareformer.com @bringmethenews.bsky.social @sahanjournal.bsky.social @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

The American Nazi Party.

“I would be skeptical of anyone who would take a job with an agency that is willing to defend behavior this unprofessional." Even former members of ICE are horrified by the killing of Renee Nicole Good.

The Nick Shirley video says so much about the way MAGA journalism -- or, I should say, "journalism" -- is evolving @eggerdc.bsky.social explains it all here www.thebulwark.com/i/184544780/...

the new york times is the problem

This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time. Some thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/2052...

Need to confirm more details about this but seems very bad.

Yeah there has been a decoupling of revelation and consequence, probably starting for real in 2016 though with hints before, and I have no idea how to come back from that.

As usual, pretty much everything Bondi says here is a baldfaced lie. She just can't help herself, it comes so instinctively to her.

This person is live reporting from the scene of protests over the ICE shooting this evening in Minneapolis.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

What we could be getting for the money we’re spending on ICE.

Jerome Powell warned that Trump was pressuring the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates after the DOJ launched an investigation into the chairman. The move escalates Trump’s pressure campaign against Powell, reigniting concerns about the Fed's independence.

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime. Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

"It is our time now to say this ends with us." “I saw an agent that overreacted and did something that was what I think is murder.” Protesters decrying the killing of Renée Good know what they saw with their own eyes.

Trump is going to use DOJ/FBI to try to steal the 2026 election. My legal team and I will fight back in court but we all have a role to play. Tomorrow, I will offer my thoughts on what Trump is up to and what we need to do now. Subscribe to Democracy Docket for free to find out. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

ICE Used a Neo-Nazi Anthem to Recruit After Killing a U.S. Citizen www.publicenlightenment.com/p/ice-used-a...

“They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats.” “The 2020 election was stolen.” “January 6th was Nancy Pelosi’s fault.” “She’s a domestic terrorist.” “I’ll lower grocery prices on day one.” “No new foreign entanglements.” Lies. All lies.

Trump is bad for the economy

And as always, it's vital to say "The media are lying to you!" so when you see actual evidence and that voice in your head says "I don't know, it looks like she was trying to leave" a louder voice will say "If you even entertain the truth then you will be a traitor in this war."

FYI, everyone on the right is being fed a completely insane story in which the videos of Renee Good's murder so plainly show the officer had no choice but to kill her that you'd have to be crazy to think otherwise. An example, from the Heritage Foundation: www.dailysignal.com/2026/01/09/o...

i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

President Trump hosted oil executives at the White House on Jan. 9 to discuss investments in Venezuela’s energy sector following Maduro’s recent capture. Reps from nearly 20 firms attended, forming a who’s-who of the oil industry. Confirmed companies include Chevron, Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips...

I wrote a book on the history of fascist lies and this propaganda operation belongs to this history as a new chapter

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

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.

FOX: It does look like pepper spray was deployed and it does look like Roosevelt students were in the vicinity. What do you say about the use of pepper spray here? ACTING ICE DIRECTOR TODD LYONS: Law enforcement officers would never do that unless it was absolutely necessary

We desperately need to get MAGA in front of fact-based, pro-democracy media diets. It’s imperative that we strive to lift all information boats because when people gorge on propaganda, they vote for a president who sends jackboots into the streets to murder us. open.substack.com/pub/publicen...

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.
