I know this won’t get a lot of attention beyond “well it’s New Hampshire, what did you expect” but I want you all to know there are a lot of kids and families of color here and we all deserve better than this kind of garbage representation

Well here we go. The Good family has hired the “law firm that represented George Floyd’s family to press for answers and accountability”

I wrote this piece with some hesitation; I did not want readers to assume I hold certain negative views about law enforcement in general. I wore my own badge with pride. But ICE’s behavior is so far beyond the pale that those of us with experience have a moral duty to decry its actions.

We will finally hear 'powerful evidence' linking Trump to his attacks... Special Counsel Jack Smith will testify publicly Jan. 22 before the House Judiciary Committee. www.alternet.org/alternet-exc...

Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota

Students protesting against ICE outside the Minnesota State Capitol this afternoon

Nick Fuentes explains his opposition to Trump: "My problem with Trump is not that he's Hitler. My problem with Trump is that he is not Hitler."

What brought Good to this city requires untangling a web of cross-country moves and name changes since growing up in a Christian household in Colorado Springs and twice becoming a military wife. Nearly two decades later, she was in love with Rebecca Good and seeking refuge in Minneapolis.

Russia issues a warning to the U.S.: Any U.S. attack on Iran would be categorically unacceptable and would be the gravest mistake, with disastrous consequences.

.@PabloReports: Do you stand with the autoworker who called Trump a pedophile protector? Ruiz: Trump should release the Epstein files and prove him wrong.

Pondering how AI is taking us back to mid-1990s “Dark Forest” Internet safety guidelines being correct: - assume nobody is who they say they are - don’t reveal anything about yourself - everyone is out to get you until proven otherwise - don’t believe anything you see online without verification

If you fight for the rights of immigrants, you're a patriot.

2/ When I worked at Twitter, CSAM was *universally,* unequivocally regarded as the MOST toxic, nuclear, all-hands-on deck, third-rail issue that was taken DEEPLY seriously (legally and morally) and would garner an *immediate* prioritized response.

Great list of the events of the last half-week, it's a whole thread, not just this tweet, but very important to add to the list that the regime is currently holding three Lakota men hostage to attempt to force the Oglala Sioux tribe to enter into an agreement with ICE

Any account blaming dems for what repubs have done and what voters did should be treated with suspicion. It's a midterm year and they've come here to suppress the vote.

For ease of navigation and sharing, I have turned my little list into a website: standwithminnesota.org

The people who have the responsibility to “bring down the temperature” are the people bringing chaos and violence to the streets of the Twin Cities. Every single person here is showing REMARKABLE restraint in the face of sustained insult from a government that proclaims its contempt for them daily.

Except in a Blue state sanctuary city while Trump is president

Ford has caved to MAGA pressure and suspended TJ Sabula, the auto worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector” to his face today. “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often — and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” Sabula said.

Key detail: Natanson was told that she is not a target of the investigation, according to a person familiar with the matter, which suggests that the FBI is pursuing one or more of her sources inside the federal government.

Confirming the NYT's reporting: FBI agents arrived at Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's home this morning and conducted a search. Natanson penned this outstanding first-person piece last month about being "the federal government whisperer." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Thank you CNN for pointing out that everyone opposed to this regime has normal, pro-social links to the organizations that make up a liveable society where you can do normal shit. Next article you can talk about how the vice president, by contrast, is in nazi groupchats with minors

Marco Rubio, June 2012.

Whether it's Barack Obama asking for Dijon mustard or Donald Trump screaming "fuck you" in a Ford plant at someone calling him a "pedophile protector," presidential norms have been challenged in the 21st century

NEW: The NY Times got the Fulton County grand jury transcripts. Lindsey Graham told the grand jurors “if you told him Martians came and stole votes, he’d be inclined to believe it.”

Psaki: Trump's middle finger towards a heckler at a Ford plant earlier felt "Directed at all of us. At every person in this country who still believes in common decency right now."

Frost: It doesn’t end there. Minutes later—this administration, from Stephen Miller to Kristi Noem to the vice president to the president, labeled her a domestic terrorist. And then, my Republican colleagues have the gall to talk to us about due process.

🔥 @timmiller.bsky.social : “Can we just be honest about this?? There’s no way his life was at risk. Nobody who looks at this with open eyes can think this was justifiable.” WILL CHAMBERLAIN: “He’s essentially accusing us of bad faith.” TIM: “Yeah.“

…took and SOLD his phone?

Well shit. Fact check true.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

The Trump DOJ's wild directive to investigate Renee Good's widow — which reportedly prompted several prosecutors to resign today — builds on a claim that has been slopping around right-wing media for days, pushed by Jack Posobiec, Tim Pool, Andy Ngo, others.

ICE agents and its leadership need to be investigated, prosecuted, and imprisoned. www.propublica.org/article/vide...

DEFEATED! Democrats joined by 6 Republicans just took down this anti-worker bill, the final vote was unchanged from below. Mike Johnson spent nearly an hour trying to flip Republican holdouts but ultimately gave up, his first floor defeat of the year and likely not the last.

If you are still subscribe to Paramount+ you can cancel it . Then for a reason list Bari Weiss and Stephen Colbert. Here are list of Paramount movies scheduled to come out over the year www.imdb.com/list/ls06675...

I'm just not going to make the same Idiocracy "joke" over and over again but what the actual fuck

Exactly.

These people know exactly the wrong thing to say and when.

Everyone knows Rosa Parks, but fewer know it was Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old, who first refused to give up her seat and sparked a movement. Colvin has passed away at 86. I spoke about her during the commencement address at @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social RIP www.wesleyan.edu/about/news/2...

Wow—just catching up on this morning's oral arguments in the trans sports cases, and what a moment when Justice Sotomayor asks, "Have you studied the people?"

Some more figures about ICE's presence in Minnesota: The Pew Research Center estimated in 2023 that Minnesota is home to 130,000 immigrants without legal status — less than 1% of the nation’s total. About 9% of ICE’s 22,000 personnel are currently in Minnesota. bit.ly/3Zbix0d

If 3,000 federal agents land in Minnesota, their footprint will be bigger than the 10 largest metro police departments combined.

Tonight on The Briefing! @frost.house.gov @warren.senate.gov Stacey Young @kenmartin.bsky.social

Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL): "I rise today to announce I will be impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Secretary Noem has violated the Constitution and needs to be held accountable for terrorizing our communities."
