If you think the DoJ is doing a terrible job against the American people now, you ain't seen nothing yet.

"Is Donald Trump going to invoke the insurrection act in Minneapolis? Almost certainly." 💯 That isn't a reason to panic and it isn't a reason to stop resisting.

Don't obey in advance.

From UK based @news.sky.com "ICE agents threaten car with Sky's Martha Kelner inside as she reports on mounting tensions in Minneapolis" (1/2)

Contact your reps and tell them NO ICE. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

"We’re actually seeing new super PACs being established. One of them has already committed to spending $100 million in the midterms. And we’re seeing politicians and candidates speaking very frankly about wanting to install pro-crypto candidates" more here: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

Jonathan Ross is a ten year veteran of ICE and before that worked for Border Patrol for over a decade and before that served in Iraq. How much more experience does he need according to Chuck Schumer?

Pierce County, are you guys okay? This is absolutely insane. Video from @hannahkrieg.bsky.social. Neo Nazi Sheriff Swank basically threatened elected officials with violent retribution. Also, he sounds exactly like Steven Miller.

Latest NYT video analysis. The White House is lying. Gift link.

Aliya Rahman told ICE she was disabled She told them she was on her way to a doctor appt They broke her window, cut her seatbelt & dragged her away like an animal She was headed to the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when they grabbed her. She was denied access to a doctor & tossed in detention

"Sharp abridgment of speech, free exercise, and assembly; unreasonable searches and seizures; an appalling lack of due process; and a complete disregard for states’ rights and the rights of the people. "

“I re-read our messages, and I was like oh my God, Mark Cuban was right. Everything he said.” Ashley St. Clair, mother of one of Elon’s offspring, realizes @mcuban.bsky.social’s warnings about Stephen Miller and Trump’s cruel immigration policies were all spot-on. (H/T @joshuaeakle.com )

Miller: "In MN, the insurrectionists are confronting our officers on the street. They're being arrested. This is a natl security priority. Arrests of insurrectionists are made every day, and each provide us an opportunity to learn about the network from a law enforcement & natl security standpoint"

I’m announcing my plan to take on our broken, corrupt political system: ✅Ban corporate PACs & super PACs ✅Ban lawmakers from trading stocks ✅And require every member of Congress to hold annual town halls This is how we build a government of, by, and for the people.

State media is widespread.

📌URGENT: Trump's regime is trying to turn Stars & Stripes into state-run media. I was the ME of S&S. It's MANDATED BY CONGRESS to be an editorially independent paper that reports ON the troops FOR the troops. So I type this with precision: The draft-dodging, America-attacking slob can KISS MY ASS.

Have had the unfortunate experience of watching broadcast all day. Insanity inducing to watch the coverage of last night ("they threw water bottles!"). Heavily armed men attacked an entire neighborhood. People only smashed cars *after* feds had left the area and poisoned blocks of family homes.

Lewiston, Maine: “One property manager whose tenants are almost exclusively African immigrants showed a reporter a form being passed around so undocumented parents could designate temporary guardians for their children in the event of their arrest.”

I'm glad we have a State media channel so we get to see this insanity in real time.

I am here in Minneapolis-St. Paul to chair an accountability hearing on the brutality and violence that Trump’s ICE is inflicting on the community. We will not back down. Watch live tomorrow: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfVj...

NEW: In January 2024, a man purchased Meta's newly AI-infused smart glasses. He went on to experience a devastating break with reality that played out across Meta platforms — with Meta AI as his companion, entertaining and affirming his worsening delusional beliefs. futurism.com/artificial-i...

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

SCOOP: Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground. Inside the app called ELITE—what ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as “martial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

Torres: Because when you’re a government insider, the term prediction is a misnomer. If you’re the one making the decision, or you’re part of the decision-making process, you’re not predicting anything—you’re governing for profit.

Our Members of Congress can rein in ICE with the upcoming Homeland Security funding bill. Tell your senators that you demand ICE Out For Good: indivisible.org/ice-out-sena... And contact your representative: indivisible.org/ice-out-hous... #ICEOutForGood

"I'm autistic it takes me a second to understand and process"

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*

if you put this in a script even erin brockovitch would be like “too on the nose, dial it back”

This is your regular reminder that authoritarianism is just domestic abuse writ large.

What the fuck do you mean "how we get there?" We pass the law, we take the best of the already-existing government health care systems, combine them under one roof, and make private insurance companies completely unnecessary. "How we get there?" We just DO it already, Mark. Jesus. 🤣

Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

lol yeah that’s fuckin airtight wrap it up everybody no one’s ever been stupid and evil at the same time

you have to imagine that this probably also happens when there doesn't happen to be a Herald reporter randomly sitting there to see it happen

sometimes a masterpiece is too good to wait. from the upcoming show Strip Law, I give you the song "Pizza Party" (a song written for a scene where i was just like lets have some fun pizza party music and then composer Casey Trela went Mozart-level hard)

Judge Ellis also found that a top CBP leader's testimony was not credible, in part because he admitted that was relying on unreliable "use of force" reports generated by DHS officers — and in a footnote, says video showed an officer asking ChatGPT to help him fill out a use of force report!

MUSK: “The goal of SpaceX is to establish a self-sustaining city on Mars” Billions and billions in taxpayer dollars to this man’s company — yet we’re told there was no money to extend food assistance to those who need it here on Earth 🌎 🤷🏼

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

We can probably agree too many politicians are corrupt and self serving. This one is not. Have a listen. Senator Andy Kim and @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/TKr5hGe...

Why are Trump-supporting oligarchs spending a fortune to defeat @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social? Because they fear Mamdani's people-powered movement will end their plunder and finally make NYC affordable for the working class. Zohran is charting a path forward where billionaires have less power.

MORE: Plaintiffs in this lawsuit just filed notice of an alleged violation. They say they did so w/out conferral out of concern the feds are “simply ignoring the court’s TRO.”
