Nothing to see here, people.

Trump wants to be your daddy, but we know who’s the Boss.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Listen.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

“The officials who confirmed ICE participation on Tuesday said that federal ICE agents would support diplomatic security details and would not run any immigration enforcement operations.” ICE is being trained to be Trump’s extra-legal paramilitary force.

Someone who forgets the word “Alzheimer’s” might just have . . . uh . . . something.

This right here.

Broncos-Pats is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. They’re playing in an apocalyptic snowstorm. I don’t know how they can tell where they are on the field. I expect the offense to send a note out of the huddle: “For God’s sake look after our people.”

“Like the original Fascists, ICE agents want their violence to be public. They want the world to understand that anyone who challenges their authority and occupation of public space can be ‘taught a lesson,’ humiliated . . . or eliminated.”

Training cannot correct for lack of vetting and unsuitability for a position of public trust

ICE agents initiate violence everywhere they go.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

I didn't say it. The Germans did.

ICE murdered a detainee and is trying to deport the witnesses. Will there be an investigation?

Love this.

The bill requires DHS to outfit ICE agents with body cameras, give them more training on defusing conflict, and provides money for independent oversight of DHS detention facilities. And what will Dems do when DHS takes the money and ignores these provisions? Nothing? Then they are useless.

After all these years, it turns out that “Trump Derangement Syndrome” was, in fact, simply sanity.

Tammy Duckworth. Not only does her sacrifice for her country highlight Trump’s pretend machismo, her gender would trigger him in the same way that Nancy Pelosi’s did.

im getting disturbing reports that donald trump is doing exactly what he said he would and the results are exactly as disastrous as everyone said they would be

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

In which Kristi Noem equates Jonathan Ross to to Lord Voldemort.

The Associated Press is running a story today called “In His Own Words,” in which Steven Miller gets free rein to promote his bigotry and racism. I’m not linking to the story because, unlike AP, I see no reason to amplify prejudice and authoritarianism.

DOJ investigating whether Denmark lied on its Greenland mortgage.

Frequently when people attack or vandalize or threaten synagogues they use the excuse the synagogue has recently had some event or said something that can be construed as Zionist as opposed to, you know, Jewish. Hard to sell for a place burned down a year ago. /1

I dont see how any of my fellow Jewish Americans can be more fearful of college students protesting about Palestine than they are of a militarized ICE stacked with avowed Hitler supporters

I’ve only seen posts about books in this feed, so I hope it’s okay to post about bookstores. Because there are two terrific stores in So. Cal: The Calico Cat in downtown Ventura, and Bart’s Books in Ojai. Bart’s is a Möbius strip of a store, indoors and out at the same time. #litfic #literaryfiction

It’s Game of Thrones time at DOJ, starring Pam Bondi as Daenerys Targaryen. Bend the knee or be immolated.

Whatever’s in the Epstein files, it is so bad for Donald Trump that he’s chosen to distract the public from his failure to comply with the law compelling disclosure by having ICE shoot young mothers. That’s bad. Don’t let him get away with it.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

“Of the 1,500 or so [Jan. 6] offenders who received pardons, roughly 600 had been charged with assaulting or obstructing police officers, and 170 had been accused of using deadly weapons in the siege.” Trump doesn’t back the blue. He supports thuggery and intimidation. That’s why he backs ICE.

Renee Good should still be here. She was a beloved child of God, with inherent value and infinite worth. She was murdered by her own government in broad daylight in what is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the planet.

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.

This is exactly right. She smiled at him and said she wasn’t angry with him. She wouldn’t cower, and that both exposed and enraged him.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Anyone who doubts that the Trump Administration is fascist in nature needs to read this.

Look, people, let’s stop being so judgmental about folks who stay on Twitter/X. There are fewer Nazis here, sure, but if a woman gets murdered by an ICE agent and you want to see her corpse in a bathing suit, where are you on Bluesky? Out of luck, that’s where.

Bad take of the day. There’s no prohibition on LE knocking on doors. What they can’t do (most of the time) is enter a home without a warrant. I’m as outraged as the next person at the murder in Minneapolis and at ICE’s storm trooper tactics. Don’t let that lead you into bad takes like this.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time? Really American FB
