The detention of a 5-year-old boy in Minnesota this week has exacerbated tensions over the Trump administration’s immigration operation in the state. Here is what to know. on.wsj.com/49U6KIL

Jack Smith on Trump pardoning J6ers: "I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will."

Federal judges in Minnesota have several times in recent weeks rejected arrest warrants for people protesting a surge of immigration officers in that state — finding that federal agents do not have sufficient evidence that protesters assaulted officers or committed other crimes.

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

Current conditions in Minneapolis for those abroad that think Americans aren't pushing back.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Emphasizing that ICE is deliberately arresting people who are in the asylum process precisely because they are easy pickings; after all, they're complying with the government! Amazingly, it's likely legal; but cruel, unjust, and very counterproductive by discouraging compliance!

There's nothing theoretical about it melting. In 2025 100 billion tons of it flowed into the North Atlantic. The long-term trend is over 200 billion tons a year. The big uncertainty is where is the tipping point (may already have passed) & how long melt will last (hopefully centuries).

honestly JFK is proof we don't live in a comic book universe because this would have absolutely given him strange powers

That red spot is the Tug hill Plateau and it's one of the snowiest parts of the country. Winds here blow West to East- first over the Great Lakes picking up moisture, then getting forced upwards like a ski jump into the THP. Air gets colder at elevation and can't hold anymore water so it snows.

Families, teachers and faith leaders in Minneapolis braved frigid temperatures on Friday to rally against a campaign of enforcement that has left students afraid to go to school.

Have a larger story on this coming, but I’ve been embedded with this group, and this story from yesterday is part of what they’ve been doing in the city: religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

Shocked at how big the crowd is in Minneapolis. Don’t know an exact number but it’s in the many, many thousands. It is so cold your tears freeze to your face and your hands ache and yet people are here.

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

Much of the media is treating the vice president’s visit as an attempt to lower the temperature—if anything, he raised it. Vance simply doesn’t think it’s a misnomer to call the boy's father an “illegal alien,” despite their asylum pending claim (meaning they did enter legally). trib.al/JN74PnB

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Lots of good signs here, but I have to confess my favorite is a rebel alliance where they replaced the red insignia with blue and the Minnesota loon.

This is bad not just because of the direct infections but there's growing research that suggests vaccines also stave off things (like dementia) that we don't typically associate with vaccine prevention.

Venezuelan family seeking asylum -- entered legally, both parents with college degrees -- took their 7-year-old to the ER for a nosebleed and fever. ICE, which is now targeting hospitals as well as churches schools, blocked the child from getting care and detained them instead

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

Philadelphia sues the Trump administration over the removal of museum exhibits referencing slavery.

Every time I read an article that mentions that they are brining the streets of New York my brain says “brining the streets? sounds delicious!” and I can’t make it stop

Prince Harry, who served in the war in Afghanistan, says the “sacrifices” of British soldiers during the conflict there “deserve to be spoken about truthfully and with respect” — a rebuke of President Trump’s comments about NATO soldiers.

The EEOC’s move to toss the guidance out will be most immediately felt by LGBTQ+ workers, experts told The 19th, but it will also have broader implications for anyone who experiences harassment related to their gender, race or ethnicity while they’re at work.

"Never use alone," because your odds of dying from an overdose are much higher when there's no one around to help you. Pretty basic stuff.
