Be aware everyone that ICE has officially arrived on Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/iceg...

First Energy apparently wants to continue to rely on its purchase of—oh, um, I mean goodwill with Ohio Republicans to allow itself to be less accountable to customers. Quite the partnership they have built here. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/06/f...

"Argentina's done it. Russia's done it. Turkey's done it. Venezuela's done it. And Zimbabwe's done it. It's a thing that tin pot dictators do... right before starting a hyperinflation and destroying their own economies."

In addition to Good's murder, ICE has been busy in Minneapolis causing car wrecks and traffic jams, filling the streets with tear gas and goons with loaded weapons, issuing specific threats and sewing general chaos. This is not law enforcement to preserve order. It's an occupation to cause chaos.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

Thank you, @chaserbaybe.bsky.social and @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social! @aliadair22.bsky.social @justfara.bsky.social @zizij.bsky.social @tanziamill.bsky.social @happy213.bsky.social @kaplanikids.bsky.social @dawnbritten.bsky.social @politicalodor.substack.com @littlemissemmet.bsky.social

Last August Trump posted: “the States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do.”

Trump is going to use DOJ/FBI to try to steal the 2026 election. My legal team and I will fight back in court but we all have a role to play. Tomorrow, I will offer my thoughts on what Trump is up to and what we need to do now. Subscribe to Democracy Docket for free to find out. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

“Do you believe deadly force was necessary?” TRUMP: “They were highly disrespectful of law enforcement.” Apparently being disrespectful is punishable by death now

I realize that every word that comes out of his mouth is outrageous in one way or another but unambiguously framing execution as a legitimate response to disrespect is still noteworthy

#ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited Good morning, friends! Every day we are uplifting each other in extraordinary ways, even when they seem insignificant. We are saving each other and we are not alone. #Jaye’sMorningLight

THIS IS THE REASON WHY IT’S ALL HAPPENING #ElonMusk was the perfect person to make the statement, a man who came from racism, whose family moved to #Africa just to enslave Blacks, b/c they think they’re superior. We will not live under #WhiteNationalism #ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited 👇🏼

this is what patriotism looks like

I love Mark Ruffalo. ❤️ #Pinks

Mark Ruffalo telling USA Today that the black-and-white pin he's wearing was in honor of Renee Good. He also speaks out against the war in Venezuela and calls Trump a pedophile and a rapist, 'the worst human being'

Thank you to @markruffalo.bsky.social, @wandasykes.bsky.social & other actors who wore “Be Good” pins at the @goldenglobes.bsky.social last night to honor Renee Nicole Good & to remember all who are being killed or terrorized by the Trump administration. #IceOutForGood

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates. DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now? Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests? Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

Here's the 1st decent push back I've seen for a while on this administration. Here Jake Tapper confronts Kristi Noem with her hypocrisy. He brings up the pardon of the January 6 terrorists & contrasts it with what happened to Renee Nicole Good. Noem's response is that of a sociopath.

What would your follow-up questions for Vance be? Why don't journalists ask Vance about all the donors that are making millions of dollars off of the immigration industrial complex? Why don't they ask him about whether he still believes in the Constitution & due process? #ICELawlessness

JD Vance says #ICE will be going door to door to rip people out of their homes & the journalist had no follow-up questions on that? Mine: Do you have any qualms about the horrific conditions and multitude of deaths in detention? What's your feeling on Trump being mentioned in the Epstein Files? 🧵

Although the Nobel Committee felt the need to make the unprecedented announcement clarifying that the Nobel Peace Prize "can neither be revoked, shared, nor transferred to others" – once Machado "gives" it to Trump, it will make no difference to him, for like a small child, he will have his new toy.

Maria Corina Machado is coming to US in two days to likely give Trump her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. In exchange, Trump will "allow her" to lead/puppet-lead Venezuela. Trump will have extorted Machado for the Nobel Peace Prize by invading a sovereign nation. While planning to invade Greenland.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.

In the face of fears we face, it’s easy to retreat into ourselves. I do it all the time. But as we press into what will be a long year, try to fling those threads. Find each other to both build and strengthen our connections. It will always matter.

One of the great ironies of today is that, with so many ways to connect, and so much world across which we can, so many of us feel like we must fight alone. Out of fear, mistrust, or active efforts to divide us, we feel more isolated than ever. But we don’t have to be. (1/2)

The abhorrent find defense a bore, So they’re planning to go door to door. The Gestapo will roam And push into your home; After murder, these monsters want more. www.ms.now/opinion/vanc...

Now they say they’ll investigate fault, But they’ve already reached a result: Holding evidence back To keep states off the track, Fighting truth with an all-fronts assault. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

When Nick Shirley lit racism’s fuse His fake story blew up on the news. So like Vance with the Haitians, Far right’s masturbations Sent ICE in to act on the ruse. www.peoplesworld.org/article/debu...

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the Minnesota lie unfold—and unravel. A component of anti-truth fight: The regime creates anger and spite So they sacrifice life On the altar of strife; They just wish that she hadn’t been white.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

A beautiful sunrise this morning over the fresh ugliness the regime continues to impose. What will you do today to help us step toward better? There isn’t an immediate fix—but do not let them convince you that we are helpless to create or lead change.

RFK is ready to release new nutrition guidelines. And just as he damaged the vaccine schedule for all children in the US, he's promising "a major shake-up" of the Dietary Guidelines. Experts expect him to advocate for more red meat—especially beef—and more saturated fat consumption👇

Captain Mark Kelly earned his rank. Now his decades of service are being attacked by a drunk and a draft dodger. All because he reminded our military to stay true to their oath, his right as both a veteran and an American.

this is small comfort given he has state power and i don’t but i am struck by what an obviously weak and fragile man miller is. a blubbering piss baby whose entire affect and personality is an attempt to make up for his profound feelings of inadequacy

America First: We can’t afford healthcare or groceries, but we’re beta-testing imperialism again.

🔟 So when I listen to Kim Lane Scheppele on Hungary and Poland, and then look back at my own research on US states, I see the same international project taking shape. The question in more and more places is not just “Who wins the election?” but “Will the winners actually be allowed to govern?”

9️⃣ In some spaces this project is explicitly spiritualized as the Seven Mountains mandate: the idea of capturing government, media, education, law, and other “mountains” so that formal democracy survives on paper while real power is held by one movement.

8️⃣ The result is familiar. Even if Democrats or moderates manage to win a governorship or flip a chamber, they hit fiscal handcuffs, rigged maps, and friendly courts for the old regime. You get elections that change faces, not the underlying project. www.propublica.org/article/nort...

7️⃣ In those states I see tools that rhyme with the Hungary and Poland story: aggressive gerrymandering, constitutional tax and spending caps, supermajority requirements to raise revenue, and captured state supreme courts that pre‑decide major fights as well as preempting local power of growing cities

6️⃣ My own work is not in Budapest or Warsaw. It’s in US states like Texas, Missouri, Florida, Tennessee, and others, where I’ve been tracking what I call constitutional petrification of gov’t inside state constitutions and legal codes. Even if Dems win, they are restrained on pretty much everything
