I don't want to hear a single fucking word from any Dem politicians or consultants that aren't promising meaningful long-term prosecution and a vicious, unrelenting downsizing of ICE you're worthless and should get out of the way

ICYMI: Trump vows to target Rod Bray since he didn't play his redistricting game right. Trump thought Bray was on his team, but he jumped ship...now it's retaliation time, again. #Pinks

After a week where ICE agents turned Minneapolis into a war zone, this is the question? Frey showed emotion after a federal agent murdered a member of his community. I want more elected officials to show the frustration we are all feeling. Legacy media sucks. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

The top 10% now account for nearly half of all consumer spending.

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.

“protesters” are not “clashing” with law enforcement. violent federal agents have waged war on minneapolis and regular people are telling them to get the fuck out. and last time i checked being in a group chat doesn’t mean you’re in a professional organization. it means you have friends.

if someone punches your neighbor and you go to protect them, that does not make you a protester. that makes you someone who protects your neighbor.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill: "The president said he was going to use our American cities for practice for our troops. I think he is trying to incite the protesters…The protesters have been peaceful, but ICE hasn't been. They're assaulting people on the street."

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good? BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

This part.

Elections do matter.

👂 LISTEN — Authoritarianism is here — the White House tells CBS News(max) they have to air his whole interview or “we’ll sue your ass off” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/b...

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work. Really depraved shit.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

Just a regular reminder that the ENTIRE premise behind the draconian and militaristic immigration enforcement we have been witnessing the past year is based on an empirically disproven lie. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

NEW: President Donald Trump’s redistricting arms race is wreaking havoc across the country, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. But in Missouri, the fight has grown into something that threatens to cut democracy to the bone. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/in-...

A follow-up to the original ICE article, in which I talk about the DHS's response to the article and why it's so ridiculous I also take on the "why are you mad that ICE isn't discriminating against lefties" cope, amongst other things

I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.

The Founders assumed that Members of Congress would jealously and zealously guard the powers and prerogatives of their branch of government against the grasping of an overweening Executive, and instead we got this supine GOP majority that yearns to lick the boot.

Happy Saturday! We’re launching a trade war because Europe won’t let us violate Danish and Greenlandic sovereignty. Enjoy!

These are totally unsupported claims with no links, citations or even statements like “sources familiar with the matter.” I read basically every single story about AI efficacy at big companies, especially salesforce. These are either made up or egregious extrapolations of things.

Saw a tweet about how AOC’s message polled best, and presto, you have a democrat translator machine that strips that message of its raw anger and makes it about “your wallet.” ICE is not about my wallet. ICE is about evil. These people are fucking evil. Call them evil, denounce and dissolve them.

It’s almost like they are enacting project 2025. Remember that? Who helped them write the policies in that? Was it Viktor Orban? Didn’t he attend CPAC? Who’s Viktor Orban, Patty? A foreign autocrat and puppet of the Kremlin? Why does project 2025 help China and Russia so much?

this alone is worth an impeachment tbh

Trump has been doing a lot to weaken the US and facilitate China's rise in his second term, but he did in term 1 too. First thing Trump did in office was cancel the TPP, promising "better" 1-on-1 deals and getting none. Effectively flipped a smart China containment strategy into US containment.

I’m done with politicians and pundits on cable news telling us some version of, ICE would be fine if they just followed the rules and procedures. THEY’RE FOLLOWING ORDERS‼️ I just dropped a piece on why “defund ICE” misses the point. Hear me out… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

Rep Don Bacon, R-NE, texts: “I and most Americans disagree with the President’s heavy handedness. He is threatening NATO members, which is shameful. The fact that Greenland is part of NATO’s umbrella gives the President all he needs to put more bases there…

“Do not engage in a winter campaign in bitterly cold areas. You will lose not just your army, but most likely your throne.” - literally every military historian ever “GET IN THE CAR, LOSERS, WE’RE GONNA INVADE MINNESOTA IN LATE JANUARY” - the Trump administration

GOP Adds ‘ICE Kills Everyone’ Pillar To 2026 Platform

Congratulations, President Trump!!!

Brief operational term of art 🧵 to help better define what we're experiencing. What we're experiencing is state terror. I've seen a lot of terms thrown around for what the Trump admin is doing w/ICE, CBP, & other federal law enforcement (LE). The now largely out of use term is state terror. 1/

What the Trump administration is doing, what Stephen Miller has schemed his whole sad, miserable, pathetic life for & Noem is gleefully implementing because she thinks it'll get her elected president in 2028, is state terror. 6/

So let me get this straight. The Justice Department WON’T investigate the shooting of a woman protesting ICE excesses in Minnesota but WILL investigate the Governor and Mayor? What are you going to charge the Mayor and Governor with? “Felony disagreement?” Absurd and shameful.

We must unconstitutionally impose more taxes on Americans because the threat of illegal aggression against a heretofore American ally hasn't worked out as smoothly as we imagined.

Very curious what the long-term ripple effects of this ICE occupation will be. Many very privileged people have stepped up to prevent their own government from disappearing their non-white neighbors and have now confronted inequalities and social problems they never would have experienced firsthand.

It really is worth stressing that this "important scholarship" is neither important nor scholarship.

In America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be assaulted, robbed, murdered, or kidnapped by an extrajudicial band of Trump's ICE agents than you are by any immigrant gang member. Maybe we should start paying gang members to detain and deport ICE.

Trump just placed a tariff on most of the EU of 10% that will increase to 25% in June unless they agree to sell him Greenland. This is mad king shit.

When Democrats folded in the last government shutdown—rescuing the GOP majority from itself and helping them pass a budget, giving validation to the Trump administration’s lawbreaking—the savvy politics knowers explained that folding was clearly worth it because it got the Epstein Files released.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

The VA has a spotty record but they took excellent care of my FIL for many years before his death from numerous health issues. Now the regime is tearing it down brick by brick and it will kill more vets whose lives could be prolonged.

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress. He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

It's now been four weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Not to mention using every lever in Congress to make things as difficult as possible
