oh they are going to rip each other to shreds as it becomes clear that the country has decisively turned against them

And here's a fund for impacted families facing eviction in Maine:

Mutual aid for preventing evictions and homelessness among people impacted by ICE raids is absolutely critical right now. A list of Minnesota-based rent relief funds can be found here:

Okay, so this is an authoritarian playbook trick, once the evidence is overwhelming say everyone needs to wait for the official investigation then either fix it or attack it when its completed. Same shit Russian pulled with MH17 and chemical attacks in Syria, very predictable.

Exactly right, and therefore important not to give credit for an investigation of an obvious atrocity. Appropriate responses are apologies, resignations, firings, impeachments. The individuals who killed people should be tried before a judge and jury.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Please call your GOP reps and demand they answer whether they are ok with ice and extrajudicial contract executions of Americans in broad daylight. bsky.app/profile/atnj...

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Now that's a mash-up 🎷 🥁 🧊 🔥

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Strike while the iron is hot

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Hey, this Bovino thing is a pathetic attempt to make all these horrors the fault of one guy, and it would be a serious, serious crisis if people fell for it. ICE needs to be abolished, bc this - terror, murder - are what it exists for. Nothing else. This is just an attempt to mollify us. Stay angry

semi-regular reminder that I wrote a whole book explaining how and why originalism sucks shit and what we should be doing instead, and I would very much appreciate it if you and your peeps gave it a read www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735353...

1/26: 10:15 a.m. CBP 🧊 cluster raids starting in Koreatown, Pico/Union, Salvadoran Corridor this morning. ICE also in Riverside

"Again and again, I heard people say they were not protesters but protectors—of their communities, of their values, of the Constitution."

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Genociding Gestapo on stolen land (like others said, "the fifth we know of")

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

"A coffin bearing the face of a boy A book Written on the belly of a crow A wild beast hidden in a flower A rock Breathing with the lungs of a lunatic: This is it This is the Twentieth Century." Adonis, from Against Forgetting It's a choice to witness & tell the truth you lying liar

To my Hoosier family members:

Do what you can when you can in your corner of the world where it will matter and spread like wildfire, wildflowers.

Out of Minnesota? So they can go terrorize neighboring states instead? ABOLISH ICE. PROSECUTE ICE. IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT.

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself," FDR, March 4, 1933.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

From HCR's Letters from an American (Friday, January 23, 2026) "Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) warned: “Every American should be terrified by this secret ICE policy authorizing its agents to kick down your door & storm into your home. It is an unlawful & morally repugnant policy (...)

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

The storm is up, and all is on the hazard.

James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

"They want to find the 'orchestrators,' the 'paid activists,' the political professionals scheming up the city’s response to their crimes. They won’t find any, because there are none." www.welcometohellworld.com/there-is-no-...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

"Families could also be heard outside chanting “Libertad!” or “Let us go""

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

"Patriarchy both creates the rage in boys and then contains it for later use, making it a resource to exploit later on as boys become men. As a national product, this rage can be garnered to further imperialism, hatred and oppression of women and men globally." bell hooks

Let’s be clear about what the Trump regime is saying to Minnesota: “We will continue murdering your citizens unless you help us rig your election.”

"The resistance to terror is what makes the world habitable: the protest against violence will not be forgotten and this insistent memory renders life possible in communal situations." --Carolyn Forché, Against Forgetting

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

“This isn’t 1866… this regime in Washington is illegitimate.” @jamellebouie.net today:

a woman was being assaulted by a federal agent, and the victim placed his body between her and her assailant, trying to protect her... agents pepper spray him twice in the face, gang tackle him, take away the gun he was concealed carrying and made no visible effort to touch, and then murder him

I'm thousands of miles away and have a million things to do, but my heart can't stop standing on 26th street in Minneapolis, screaming bloody murder

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

executions in the street.

Monsters monsters monsters

There's an occupying force of masked goons murdering innocent people in the streets of Minneapolis because they've been told they are completely above the law.
