How is it possible for someone I blocked to add me to a list?? I would've thought that blocking someone would prevent them from doing that.

looks like donald trump used the military to do a smash and grab for his personal benefit

Seizure ... by whom? If we're asserting that the money is safer in Qatar than the US, that suggests that it is being protected because Qatar has something the US lacks — presumably a lack of accountability to American courts and Congress. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

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...

(Continued) Dan Koh: I want people in this country to answer a very simple question. What is a better use of money. More ICE agents to terrorize our neighbors, or to make people more healthy when 60 percent of all bankruptcies in this country is due to health-related debt.

defund the police means funding our society

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

Wait until the end lmao #TheTraitorsUS

Saw someone (not on bluesky) basically say that ICE agents are enforcing US law similar to how parking enforcement agents enforce US law. 🙄😡 BFFR @#$&

vote blue no matter who, they said

To be clear: The screenshot is the 57 who voted NO. 153 voted yes. Click the link for that list. Casar, Castor, and Swalwell were absent.

✅Threatens to cut funding to any country that does not support the Israeli genocide in Gaza ✅Bans funding for efforts to combat disinformation ✅Enshrines anti-abortion policy ✅Commits $3.3B in Foreign Military Financing Program funds to Israel

What does this bill do? ✅Creates a new slush fund for Secretary of State Marco Rubio ✅Pushes a Big Tech agenda in trade policy ✅Cuts the IRS enforcement budget in order to encourage billionaire tax evasion ✅Advances Trump's imperialist foreign policy ✅Cuts funding to the United Nations

The House voted 341 to 79 to fund Trump's war-mongering foreign policy agenda. Only 57 Democrats voted NO. clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/rol...

The question "are you a US citizen or naturalized" implies the latter is not a citizen (or is a second-class citizen). This is unconstitutional. A citizen, naturalized or born here, does not have to provide their papers to ICE.

"Are you a citizen or are you naturalized?" That is not an "or" question, ignorant bastards.

Several people confronted Border Patrol personnel at a gas station in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after agents stopped a man pumping gas and demanded proof of citizenship.

It's horrific but also this is pretty much a regular arrest. That's how violent arrests are. I am glad people can see it and be horrified -- that's what police are out there doing every day, legally. Every 3 seconds basically.

New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis. The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

Maybe this should be bigger news. theintercept.com/2026/01/13/d...

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

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...

Fucking wow. ABC ran the same shit "story" that isn't an actual story. It just says unnamed sources claim with no verification. Fuck ABC too. My guess, he had an ulcer from the stress of learning there is no statute of limitations on murder. abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...

If Trump invades Greenland, the Europeans won't fight back, Republicans will defend it, Democrats will issue statements, there will be protests, and most Americans will disapprove of it enough to earn Democrats a bit more of the vote in November. Then on to the next thing.

More than an attempted coup, where a mob tried to seize Congress on live television did? There's not going to be an implosion about anything. It's either a slow slide towards oblivion where everything gets incrementally worse as people try to live normally, or a slow grind in the opposite direction.

Just want to stress that this was a woman who was simply trying to get to a doctor's appointment.

This is not the language of the government of a free country.

"A Getty Images photographer at the scene reported that federal agents smashed the man’s car window before dragging him out when he didn’t present citizenship documentation." *Show us your papers* used to be the sign of a fascist regime. www.facebook.com/reel/1946035...

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

You may also remember Lewiston as the site of a mass shooting at a Bowling alley in 2023. Here's a piece from my colleague Jaed Coffin with a portrait of Lewiston, post shooting, through the eyes of an immigrant family.

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

Can confirm I have personally seen three attempts just today of agents in a convoy of ICE vehicles trying to snatch random POCs along Central Ave - and then being chased off by neighbors with whistles. It's blatant racial profiling. Minneapolis city council member says POC should stay home:

so much to cover right now, but a thread i just want to throw out there from my reporting is that the car rental market in minneapolis is reportedly totally screwed up right now because ICE has cleared the inventory. rental companies should have to answer for supplying vehicles used in terror.

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

The de facto position of the Trump administration is that it's occupying forces are allowed to mock and belittle American citizens, and also allowed to kill citizens who mock and belittle them.

She says ICE agents mocked her: “The ICE agent who had pepper sprayed into the vents of my car said ‘you guys gotta stop obstructing us, that’s why that lesbian b—— is dead,’ verbatim, speaking of Renee Good. Which filled me with absolute rage and shock..." www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

Trump is ordering his untrained goon army to go into states that did not vote for him to kill and maim people. That is the story. If this is about "border protection," from "drug fueled" countries in South and Latin America: why isn't ICE in Texas or Arizona or fucking FLORIDA. Oh wait, I know!

A 21-year old anti-ICE protester has been left permanently blinded in California after a Department of Homeland Security agent shot him in the face with a nonlethal round at point-blank range on Friday. trib.al/V6hRQpr

This is Bari Weiss. She kills finished 60 minutes segment on documented abuse in Trump's El Salvadoran prison, but runs a story that clearly says CBS is completely unable to confirm. Why? One serves the Trump Regime, and one does not. CBS is worthless trash. So is Bari Weiss.

Trump is selling seized Venezuelan oil and putting the cash in a bank account in Qatar. Nothing to see here. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

200 million of your tax dollars are paying for the war machine to incorporate the deepfake porn machine. www.newsweek.com/hegseth-anno...

this is a small thing, but we’ve seen it in a number of videos and “first and final warning” is so revealing. no second attempt in case you didn’t hear, or don’t speak English, or the orders were confusing. just bare min CYA so that later when your widow sues they can say technically they warned you

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community. They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

Productivity up. Profits up. Wages down. The economy is performing exactly as the 1% designed it.

The EPA isn’t disputing that pollution causes disease and premature death. It’s disputing whether preventing that harm should interfere with corporate profit margins.

Air pollution kills over 100,000 people every year in the U.S., about 5 times all homicide combined. But you won't see wall-to-wall coverage of Trump's deadly announcement. The *volume* of news coverage affects who and what we are afraid of, and which larger threats we ignore.

☢️THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR LIFE—E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution. the EPA plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives. Gift🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

The EPA has stopped using the number of lives saved as a benchmark for air pollution rules. Their new plan? Calculate the cost to INDUSTRY when setting pollution limits. Trump's EPA cares more about profits than human lives. This is repulsive.
