Man who works in sewer wonders why there's all this shit down here.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

"Where everybody lies about everything of importance, the truthteller, whether he knows it or not, has begun to act; he, too, has engaged himself in political business, for, in the unlikely event that he survives, he has made a start toward changing the world.” Hannah Arendt - "Truth and Politics"

NEW: The Atlantic reports Greg Bovino has been REMOVED from his role as Border Patrol “Commander at Large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “adviser” Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their jobs.

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

Holy shit.

This is a ready made commercial for the Dems. I'll bet my next month's mortgage payment @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social will be too afraid to embrace this because their idiot consultants tell them voters in diners don't like immigrants. We need leaders who embrace this woman.

The nurses are pissed

This is where we are. Trump’s goons tackled and murdered a guy (who was a Boy Scout as a child) when he was helping a woman they had pepper sprayed knocked to the ground. And Trump’s team is lying about it. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

A vigil

I wonder if I’ll ever stop being angry all of the time.

"This is why we fight When we die We will die With our arms unbound" youtu.be/oLSOzcEQjiE?...

Mood in minneapolis right now

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

A must read👇 After a sweeping, Republican-led review of more than 2 million voter registrations, Utah election officials identified just one apparent noncitizen in their voter rolls — who never voted. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“We have a nice little database.” Two weeks ago I wrote about the risk of Trump using his NSPM-7 memo to treat citizens exercising their rights like terrorists. Now it’s a reality. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

I mean, I’d guarantee that poll wasn’t worded the way you or I would word it, so I’d take even that small amount of support with a grain of salt. However abstract the media tries to make this stuff sound, when people see what it looks like on the ground they’re overwhelmingly horrified.

Jack Smith today before Congress: “Our proof showed that he caused what happened on January 6th, that it was foreseeable, and that he exploited that violence”.

One of my favorite things about living in this part of the country is walking out of a grocery store and randomly looking up to see a real stunner.

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.)

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

by the way, all of this, dozens of goons, weapons brandished massive teargassing of public space, people beaten in the street, destroying two intersections on either side of my neighborhood, horror, all seems to have been to create a distraction to abduct crying two teenagers who were here legally

Wow. #NoKings #Davos2026

Wake up folks! It's happening all around! Keep your head on a swivel. Stay alert, stay alive.

THANK YOU @datarescueproject.org!!!!!!!!!!! bsky.app/profile/data...

History will likely teach the US had more to lose by abandoning our European allies than it ever had to gain from Donald Trump

A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."

Oh, look. The white president who thinks that asylum seekers come from insane asylums, that the Norwegian government gives out the Nobel Peace Prize, that stealth bombers are invisible to the naked eye, and that windmills cause cancer is talking about which black people have a "low IQ" again.

Red State Texas has 2.1M undocumented immigrants. Red State Florida has 1.6M. Blue State Minnesota only has 130,000. Don't let anyone tell you this is about undocumented immigrants!

One point I’ve been banging on about in interviews the last few weeks is that the mere threat of the use of force by the U.S. President is illegal both under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter but also the U.S. Constitution by virtue of the Take Care Clause.

Essential litmus test

Cops at her front door, holding a phone to her face, asking if that's her Facebook account. What the fuck are we doing here?

Impossible to describe what a raw nerve the rapid response channels are when you’re NOT on patrol. ICE sighted everywhere, all over the neighborhood. Silence and then swarming. This is not an immigration agency, it is not a law-enforcement agency. It is a state-sponsored terror agency.

Four attorneys told ABC News they have been denied access to their clients at the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, where they are being held, which they say would violate 5th & 6th Amendment rights to due process & the right to consult with counsel. abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-a...

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

Instead of ending the constitution and murdering people, we could have high speed trains and universal health care.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

In Minneapolis

"ICE is violence-prone because its main purpose has become theatrical. Under present leadership, ICE is less a law-enforcement agency than it is a content creator. from David Frum: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

How many people have the capacity to uproot, move, and vote in a swing state in the coming months? Which districts will have the most impact or potential for shift?

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

It's a coordinated tactic they use. Create a chaotic and terrifying situation with unclear and conflicting orders and force the victim to panic and take drastic action. Then you get to kill with impunity. The goal here was to kill; without question.

Reminder: BP/ICE aren't cops or soldiers. They're federal govt. CIVIL enforcement officers vested with limited policing powers for the purpose of enforcing customs & immigration laws. Attacks on & kidnapping of citizens isn't their purpose nor charge. Neither are street executions for disrespect.

ICE has killed a legal observer in Minneapolis in what Mayor Jacob Frey calls a reckless and wholly unjustified use of force.

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach. You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING. You do nothing? You get nothing. Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH. reps.fyi

And here I stand both to impeach and purge
