“the people united will never be defeated” There's no better way to end the day. Be well friends. ❤️

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year. These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.* So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds. Read, & check out our maps:

It is unclear whether the highly corrosive and carcinogenic hexachloroethane, or HC smoke, has been deployed in the immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota. It was used during the 2020 protests in Portland, Ore., following the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.

Another ICE shooting, another round of Republican buts and prayers

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

They shot Alex Pretti in the back when he was on his knees and facing away from them. This is an execution.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

This. All of it. But don’t exclude from prosecution the leaders who created and guided and ordered the crimes.

Never forget that the reason they are so convinced you’re all getting paid is that they are all getting paid.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

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.

Alex Pretti’s dad: “He cared about people deeply & was very upset with what was happening...He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests” apnews.com/article/immi...

“ICE > MN” is impeachable by itself.

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.

ICE and DHS are out of control and making our communities less safe. I will not support funding for DHS without clear accountability and stronger controls over the agency. It is time for the Senate to do its job and rein in this lawlessness.

I'm seeing people mistakenly claim the gun photo was posted before today, but its just how Google sometimes dates images based on the original date of the thread its posted in, not when it was posted. The photo was posted an hour ago in this 5 day old thread www.reddit.com/r/fivethirty...

If you're interested in seeing how framing contests are taking shape after the ICE killing of another person in Minneapolis, here's a window into the conversation on X this morning. Link to interactive graph: faculty.washington.edu/kstarbi/Spot... * I put this together quickly. Sorry for any errors

A DHS statement claimed “an individual approached US Border Patrol officers” with “a handgun” in the Alex Pretti shooting incident. A Bellingcat analysis of the footage appears to show that a gun was taken away from where Pretti was situated by an agent just before the first shot was fired.

the regime considers all resistance violent resistance. you chanting while holding a sign and carefully remaining on the sidewalk is as worthy of the death penalty to them as someone throwing a Molotov.

This is why I have been telling people to work in their community to create local legislation denying ICE access to lease or buy these kinds of facilities. Use zoning and other city/state/county regs to block them wherever possible. (Remember, before it became a camp, Dachau had been a factory.)

They killed an ICU nurse whose last act was helping someone up.

We are off the cliff, folks 🇺🇸

New court documents reveal even more ways DOGE improperly accessed and shared sensitive personal data last year — and how that data appears to have been used to advance dubious fraud claims. n.pr/4qDfABZ

When the propaganda is your first and only concern

Hank Johnson still has it: While we're deposing Marshall Miller (the guy who got Jack Smith hired) perhaps we can depose Donald Trump why he hired his personal lawyer to run DOJ.

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

"Among the most demoralizing parts was going to work in uniform each day and watching civilians recoil, as though he was “the fascist arm of the regime” or “the boot on the neck of Washington, DC.” washingtonian.com/2026/01/21/a...

1/7 U.S. scientific innovation cannot recover from this in the near future. For a while, it was reversible. Not anymore. The best-case scenario is that we recover within a decade, but at that point, competitors will likely have eclipsed us. I did not expect U.S. decline to be a story of suicide.

"Trump is a crime boss, and this is a lawless regime." —@davidcorn.bsky.social

@michaelkosta.bsky.social celebrates America's self-owning tariffs against its allies, and @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social can hardly watch

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Jack Smith testifies publicly TOMORROW at 10am in front of the House Judiciary Committee about his criminal case against Trump for attempting to overturn the 2020 election

I wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.

#SCOTUS is likely to do the right thing in the Lisa Cook case. But it's worth bearing in mind that this idea that the Fed is some bespoke exception to the unitary executive theory is utterly incoherent as a matter of both law and history—and is really just proof that the UET is itself bollocks:

The first week of the year I laid out a bunch of things I'm focusing on this year. One of them was to use the Epstein momentum as a lesson in how MAGAts will chase conspiracies when they won't listen to facts. I explained that here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCAT...

My reporting regarding yesterday's protest in front of Palantir in #PaloAltoCA ⤵️

Remember what I said about how when Trump falters, the media inserts a fake, imaginary version of Trump into the news instead?

“I think God is very proud" of the job he’s done in the past one year, says President Trump, in reply to a reporter’s questions in the White House briefing room.

The US is literally the only NATO country that's ever used Article 5. Everyone else showed up. Like... what are you even taking about???

This chart by @nathanielbullard.com is one reason data centers are driving up our electricity prices. Tech companies usually build data centers close to cities, where accommodating their GW-scale power demand entails costly reinforcement of wires or transformers. Utilities pass those costs on to us.

Amazing moment on French TV. A French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy basically trying to intimidate her during Le Pen's trial for embezzlement - something they've done to other judges around the world.

The full speech from PM Mark Carney today. Worth watching for anyone who is following the world order collapse. I may not agree with everything he does, but I agree with the overall strategy he has laid out. The honesty is refreshing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE98...

1/ Donald Trump isn't the first person to be given someone else's Nobel Prize medal. The last recipient of an unearned Nobel medal was none other than Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels, at the instigation of Norwegian author Knut Hamsun. ⬇️
