Liam Conejo Ramos, a preschooler, is one of at least four children from the Columbia Heights Public Schools district in suburban Minneapolis who have been detained this month.

Israeli forces on Wednesday killed at least 11 Palestinians in Gaza, including two 13-year-old boys, three journalists and a woman, hospitals said, on one of the war-battered enclave's deadliest days since the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect in October. https://to.pbs.org/3YO6p5p

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.

Social media users shared a screenshot that they said shows Renee Nicole Good had been accused of child abuse. That’s wrong. The document shows details inconsistent with those of Good’s profile, including her birthday.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Commentary: Unsecured guns are killing Ohio kids. But Ohio has no comprehensive safe storage law. We have no statewide requirement that guns be locked when children are present. We have no public education campaign to help families understand the risks. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/21/u...

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.

A reminder how ICE treats priests.

no greenlander ever called me a libtard

since even erroneous arrests (where the person is later released) count toward stephen miller’s arbitrary “3000 arrests a day” mandate for ICE, this kind of shit isn’t a bug. it’s a feature.

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis. It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents. This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

A joke for the history buffs.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Today is National Thesaurus Day. Personally, we find these made-up holidays contemptible, abhorrent, nauseating, repugnant, and unpalatable.

KEEP HONKING, I’M LISTENING TO a lengthy voicemail from my mom about drivers who back into the parking spots at Costco, don’t these idiots know they’ll want to load their trunks later

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

With its near-unlimited resources and aggressive directions from the White House, ICE is sending federal immigration agents not trained in community policing to make at-large arrests in cities across the country.

“This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement, instead, it’s a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by the federal government."

"In the little streets of Belfast, in the dark of early morn British solders came a-running, wrecking little homes with scorn Hear the sobs of crying children, dragging fathers from their beds Watch the scene as helpless mothers watch the blood fall from their heads." www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvGC...

Civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin has died. She was 86. Her 1955 arrest for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated Montgomery bus helped spark the modern civil rights movement. n.pr/4bhqaK7

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

i think powell's response here is a demonstration of the folly of the idea that democratic accountability requires presidential control. what if the president is not acting in the public interest? you want independent agencies to be able to push back and pursue their *congressional mandate*

“Frog, do not worry,” cried Toad. “I am coming to help you!”

Renee Good won a national prize six years ago for her poem "On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs," which muses on science and faith. Good was shot to death by an ICE agent this week in Minneapolis.

I make the little jokes (and cartoons) but man I am so incessantly incandescent with rage I think I may spontaneously combust

“They are outnumbering our own local police officers,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar tells Jen Psaki, noting that Minnesota now has more ICE agents than the combined police forces of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

'Little boy,” she said—he was still that to her, he would never grow up—“little boy, you are a victim of the old men’s crimes. That means nothing to you now, but remember it, and some day, long after I’m gone, you’ll understand.”' -Upton Sinclair, Oil!

“You see, there are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity. Indeed that's what we provide in our own modest, humble, insignificant... oh, fuck it.”

The ICE thug that shot Rachel Good was just another little man with a gun in his hand. "the highest love, a woman's touch harmony, a strong mind, a strong body beauty all the things he couldn't be, all the things he couldn't have. Little man with a gun in his hand." www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTVl...

I can honestly state this is fuckloads worse than I feared it would be.
