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?"

MN brings up the leaked DHS memo instructing ICE to enter homes without a judicial warrant in the 10A hearing happening now. Judge: "Where is the law suit on that? I can't be the global keeper of all the things. That's an important legal question that isn't before me in this 10th Amendment case."

Casual reminder to ONLY call the elected officials who show up on your ballot. 👍📞🤓 Non-constituent calls do not get tallied and can cause more harm than good. For example, during high traffic times like this, they block calls from constituents who can get tallied.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Nurses are pissed. This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

What's the status of ICE funding? The House passed a standalone DHS funding bill last week. But then they COMBINED the DHS bill with 5 other less controversial funding bills to trap the Senate. Now the Senate has til Jan 30 to vote on a 6-bill package that funds ICE *and* most other gov programs...

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

2 dead in shooting in New Orleans, Louisiana.

A memo was released by ICE instructing agents to violate the U.S. Constitution. ICE told officers and agents that they can forcibly enter homes without warrants signed by judges. The memo was from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) by two whistleblowers.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Out of town ICE thugs physically intimidate an immigration attorney protecting her clients. ATTORNEY: "Don't push me! Why are you trying to pick them up?" ICE GOON: "It's none of your business!" ATTORNEY: "It is my business—I'm their attorney. It's EXACTLY my business!" They give up and leave 😭

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

If the president invokes the Insurrection Act, even more harm would descend on our communities. Congress must rein in the Trump administration's already dangerous abuses in Minnesota.

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for. My story:

Y'all. Stop calling people in red states stupid. Stop saying we deserve what we're getting or that we get what we voted for. First, and most importantly, that's no way to win anyone over. Second, it's just not true. Many of us are victims of gerrymandering& disenfranchisement. Love is the way. 1/

Not arrested. Just kidnapped and beaten.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG... www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates. DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

Agents like this should be identified and their name and picture posted on a searchable web site with videos and content like this linked to their names

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The transformation of ICE into a type of national police force, backed, in some cases, by soldiers from the National Guard, has been covered as immigration story—but these forces are reshaping democracy for all of us. Listen to 'Autocracy in America' here: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

Renée Good is one of at least nine people across the country who have been shot by immigration agents since September. There is something every case has in common: Everyone was in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.

Do you hear the people sing?✊️ Protesters sing in an incredibly powerful and haunting moment at Thursday's ICE protest/vigil for Renee Nicole Good in Philadelphia. #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy

Greenville showed up again! Thanks to #IndivisibleUpsatateSC for keeping the momentum going! There were people there who had never been to a protest before. #SCPol

In SC, 16-year-olds can get married. A bill would allow only adults to wed. Dem. Sen. Hutto has been filing the bill since 2019. Republicans in charge won't give the bill a hearing, keeping it legal to take a child bride. Says a lot about SC Republicans.🤢 #scpol scdailygazette.com/2026/01/09/i...

Tina Smith: "I've worked closely with law enforcement in my roles at state and local government, and I have never seen anybody describe as protocol holding a cell phone and taking video while you are simultaneously shooting a gun that ends up killing somebody. It's kind of unbelievable."

This is sad.

MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela
