Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

The crowd is so big there are mini-rallies taking place inside it. This group, dancing with puppets and an antifascist action flag, chants "general strike, shut it down!"

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue. Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

GSUS Illinois stands in solidarity with all victims of state violence and those suffering under ICE occupation across the country every day. This was another tragedy in a long line of tragedies. Today, we mourn Alex Pretti and ask for peace for his community and loved ones.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Please share. 💔

"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."

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

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.

I have been warning for weeks the administration will do anything to get these records. They want to rig the midterms 🚨“The letter adds the state’s unwillingness to share voting data to a litany of grievances the Trump administration has leveled against Minnesota.”🚨

Any member of Congress who votes on a piece of legislation that directly or indirectly gives money to ICE at this point is a traitor as far as I'm concerned. They immediately go on the traitor list permanently if they cast that vote. I'm sorry. That's just how it works.

Jack Smith: "The people who assaulted police officers and were convicted after trial in my view and I think in the view of the judges who sentenced them to prison are dangerous to their community. Some of these people have already committed crimes against their communities again."

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Thank you, Jack Smith, for your testimony and your commitment to the rule of law.

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

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."

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

We've had abuses by federal officers before, and institutional endemic abuse by small local police forces. But the combination of ICE's huge expanse and reach on the one hand and apparently institutionalized abuse and disregard for the Constitution is to my memory without precedent. wapo.st/3LGjMSc

Guess who’s in town? J.D. "Couchfucker" Vance will be in Minneapolis TOMORROW, 1/22, to congratulate and affirm ICE (and other BS). We can’t let that scumbag visit in peace, so let’s show up and make some noise! See you at Royalston! (P.S. This is right near the Target Field lightrail stop)

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT… We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself. 📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

Today we honor Dr. King by remembering that his legacy wasn’t comfort or quiet it was courage, sacrifice, and resistance in the face of injustice. He knew progress is never handed down; it’s pushed forward by ordinary people who refuse to accept inequality as normal.

"A protester detained, her bra removed and wedding ring cut off, and some of her clothes never returned..." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

"we deserve better" then back someone better. ffs, refusing to vote is just gonna make this shit keep happening. if you want better candidates get behind them. it's still too early to call who's gonna be president.

recorded this last week

Minnesota is more than what you see on TV. We’re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors. I’m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit

“Trump and MAGA republicans are trying to rig the midterm elections, so they can lock in power.”

WATCH — @piperformissouri.bsky.social : “I’m a middle aged white woman, and I can tell you one thing… if someone doesn’t tell you EXACTLY how they feel about what’s going on, you know how they feel.”

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Why did he put the money into a Qatari bank account instead of the US Treasury?

Dear Black people, they’re coming for us too.
