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.

Breanna Stewart: "We're so fueled by hate right now instead of love, so I wanted to have a simple message of 'Abolish ICE,' which means having policies to uplift families and communities instead of fueling fear & violence." www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community. I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

As state terror amps up, here's a list of actions you can take now-- a lot of resources and a list of upcoming virtual trainings on a number of topics:

Damn.

American Samoans occupy a strange in-between as U.S. nationals but not citizens. They pay taxes, have Social Security numbers, and can join the military—but they can’t vote. A voter fraud case in Alaska highlights their unusual predicament.

I did a thread like this years ago on Twitter, but I feel after the deaths of Becca Good and Alex Pretti, we need to remind ourselves that this has been an American reality for centuries. While I do not want to dismiss or downplay the tragedies in Minneapolis. Legal Lynching is not new. (thread)

I wish folks would stop sharing that verbal clickbait of that lady saying Stevie Wonder can't sing.... and play some of Stevie's music... he doesn't deserve that trash take..... we need to show him love while he's still with us.

Philando Castile informed the police that he was lawfully carrying. He was killed.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

What I am seeing is that the murders of two white people will be used to tell those of us who face the violence of the state for just existing in our skin that we gotta be the shield that saves the rest of them from their own supremacy. Sigh.

U.S. allies are looking at us and recalling that line from CAPTAIN AMERICA: "People often forget the first country the Nazis invaded was their own." youtu.be/n_NAiUvSjqw?...

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."

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

AOC: If you can keep people divided, then you can continue to loot the economy. They are they are trying to distract from the fact that prices have exploded, that people's health insurance is being stripped, $1 trillion out of health care to fund this violence.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity

i feel we could use a palate cleanser.

A regular reminder that cops have been doing exactly this to Black Americans for far longer than our cellphone culture has been reporting it. If we want the nation in which we live to be different, we must organize, rise up, and make it so. With *diverse tactics* including big strikes and more.

I think more of you should be getting your news from photographers. Here’s a thread. Most aren’t here. Sorry, you’ll have to branch out. Scott Olson, Getty.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

NEW: I was one of 3 reporters granted access to the convening of 600+ clergy in Minneapolis this week. It was a striking show of solidarity with MN clergy resisting ICE, but heralded something else: the emergence of a vast, faith-based network trained to resist ICE. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...

"In St. Paul, at least one-fourth of students from Spanish-speaking homes have missed every day of school since Dec. 12."

MINNESOTA SHUTDOWN: Clergy have blocked the road in front of Terminal 1 at MSP while a crowd of thousands sings "before this campaign fails, we'll all go down to jail, everybody has a right to live." Photos are members of UNITE HERE 17 who've been abducted. I'll be updating here throughout the day.

Police have arrived. Arrests seem imminent. The crowd chants “let them pray” and “Minnesota nice means prosecute ICE”

A hideous, unbelievable insult to our allies, who suffered a full third of the war dead in Afghanistan. And this from a soulless swine who knows everything about using his bone spurs to stay all the way back, entirely off the front lines. Every day, he shames the United States as a nation.

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control. Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances. I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone. I need to share with you what I saw.

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

This is horrific! It's absolutely inexcusable to arrest a 5 year old child! 🤔I just have a few questions... what if the child is Black though? Is it still cruel? Is it also cruel to send Black kids as young as 7 to juvenile detention facilities in other states, so that their moms can't even visit?

Heartbreaking cruelty visited upon children in our name

Among the Education Department’s new appointees is Lindsey Burke, the lead author of Project 2025’s education section. She envisions dramatic enrollment declines for public schools: “We’re going to have a lot of empty school buildings.” (Published Oct. 2025)

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

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:

Republicans quote MLK’s I Have a Dream because it’s safe. Ignoring the parts about racism, militarism, poverty, and white moderates being an obstacle to civil rights. Selective memory is driving the anti-DEI panic and the not-so-quiet erasure of Black history. 1/2 open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...
