A veteran goes off. “I've bled for this country, I've fought for this country—they're disgracing this fucking country and what it fucking means!“

🚨BREAKING: ICE unleashes ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical ammunition at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. Several protesters struck. Our reporter @zdroberts.bsky.social struck in the head. "I got hit in the head really bad." LIVE NOW ⬇️

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

SCOOP: Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground. Inside the app called ELITE—what ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid.

The president is threatening the insurrection act on my city y'all. It's already in massive crisis. ICE needs to get OUT! Will this nightmare ever end?

Snow days! Get hyped.

US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone. And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

From 1/14/2026 ICE showed up at Aquila Elementary School in St. Louis Park, MN right at pickup time Community members chased them off with whistles and words A note: the KKK attempted similar intimidation tactics outside schools during the Civil Rights Era

Look at what Trump has done.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community. They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE. Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.” /1

It’s a lawless totalitarian occupation of an American city.

Apparently ICE goons in multi-car caravans are circling Spanish immersion preschools in the city taunting and photographing the parents and neighbors who are patrolling the school perimeter to keep kids safe.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

She says ICE agents mocked her: “The ICE agent who had pepper sprayed into the vents of my car said ‘you guys gotta stop obstructing us, that’s why that lesbian b—— is dead,’ verbatim, speaking of Renee Good. Which filled me with absolute rage and shock..." www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

😬😬😬

Fun morning run.

I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them. But this one hit today. And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon. fascism wrapped in our own flag

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

ICE are thug scum.

So, the First Amendment is a thing of the past by the way. 😤🤯😡🤬 #Minnesota #ICE

My fave attorney spitting facts. Rachel Cohen from Chicago. I affirm this

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

holy shit. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

Today is a watershed moment for women’s sports. The Supreme Court is hearing arguments relating to how Title IX will be enforced going forward. Title IX was created to expand, not exclude. It ensured that everyone could participate, and promised to protect opportunity, access and dignity for all. 👇🏻

They think compassion and empathy are a sign of weakness. They are wrong. They are confused that law-abiding people will stand up to them. Normally, when they abuse their partners and children, there is no pushback. They are floundering and will get ever more violent. Stay strong. Stay united.

A U.S. citizen legally observed ICE activity from a distance. He didn’t interfere, block agents, or make contact. An ICE agent still threatened lethal force and referenced a recent killing. That’s retaliation for protected speech—and it’s illegal. Caught on video. #sheshed

The federal government is now a southern sheriff in 1894 bsky.app/profile/pbum...

The art space under the bridge is getting crowded.

My understanding is the feds are reviewing national wildlife refuges to determine if some are no longer needed or no longer fulfill their mandate. A clear pretext to open the door to development, etc. Nothing is safe and everything must be put under as much public + journalistic scrutiny as possible

Brandon Siguenza, observer, abducted by ICE: "At one point during my detention, I was offered money or legal protection for any undocumented family members or the, which I don't have, or, in exchange for the names of undocumented persons or in exchange for the names of protest organizers."

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

4 male ICE agents tackle a woman U.S. citizen—lift her off ground with no concern over groping her breast or exposing her midriff. "Help me! Help me!" she cries out. "Check my ID!" Agents shove her into back of SUV hitting her head—literally run away from scene of crime. St. Paul, Minnesota.

ICE kidnap 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at Target then dump him bleeding and crying miles away in a Walmart parking lot… 🤬

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)

This woman is harder than goddamn steel dealing with these goddamn thugs. I want her to be my neighbor.

One basic pattern here is that DHS officials are engaging in violence simply because they are irritated at citizens protesting them. There is no plausible threat of violence here. He just wants to inflict pain, and believes there will be no penalty for doing so.

ICE is now ramming civilian cars through red lights in Minnesota. — they are tax payer agitators ‼️

The official explanation they’re apparently going with here is that they aren’t 100% convinced that breathing soot and ozone is actually bad for you.

An all too familiar scene: tossing some more gas canisters at residents as they flee.

Trump is clearly not well. At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

And now for a nice photo… Perfect pose. No notes. Husky clowning never ends. Even the cat is disgusted.

Finally, America has more masculine energy, defined as publicly expressing panicky terror at the sight of anyone who looks like your mom. Or a former school teacher. Also cities, especially with subways. And rainbows. But only the manliest men, the hard men, go around saying they’re scared of mommy.

Here’s the story on that, Dom. 1/2
