It’s notable that both of the killers were, with varying degrees of success, spraying irritants in bystanders’ eyes seconds before the shooting.

Why does the Tribune fail to mention that Stephen Miller feels that their child is an abomination who doesn't belong in this country? Why would we be happy for that child to be born into a country where his father supports its persecution?

How much did you get for your soul, Tim. (Didn't bother with a question mark because there really is no question here.)

We’re now at the part of the “First They Came” poem where they’ve come for white U.S. citizens with different politics. Trump has been planning for this since the 1990s.

It was pointed out to me that the Lucas opinion the administration is flagging is just a plurality opinion, not a majority opinion, which I totally missed before. Revised post now up: reason.com/volokh/2026/...

This is *way* more people than were at Trump’s first inauguration, and the weather is *way* colder.

Minnesota Nice has its limits.

LastPass has just warned its 33 million users to be vigilant about an email phishing campaign posing as them to steal master passwords and takeover accounts. The LastPass TIME team describe the campaign as “circulating widely” 👀 www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/lastpas...

Nehls: I would like to quickly address the police officers from January 6th. And I can tell you that the fault does not lie with Donald Trump. It lies with the US capitol leadership team. Fanone: *Coughs: Go fuck yourself*

FBI agent with high-level undercover experience previously tasked with protecting the US from foreign threats now sitting in a parking lot grabbing up immigrants www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"In 2024, the total installed electricity capacity of the planet—every coal, gas, hydro, and nuclear plant and all of the renewables—was about 10 terawatts. The Chinese solar supply chain can now pump out 1 terawatt of panels every year."

End Qualified Immunity now. Hold the ICE officer who blocked aid accountable for Renee Good’s death.

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

oh man, the Walker Art Center is going to be closed on Friday (If you're not from the Twin Cities, this is like MoMA closing in support of a general strike—a very big deal)

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

The fact that *both* of the churches that have made news in Minneapolis for pro-ICE links/positions have ties to the Doug Wilson-verse (which, for those keeping track, is who oversees the church Sec. Pete Hegseth now attends) feels like evidence that the universe's writers are just getting lazy.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

The 25th Amendment isn’t going to save you. It requires the vice president and a majority of the cabinet to certify that the president is unable to carry out his duties. And then the president can say no! In which case two-thirds of the house must vote in favor of removal. Not. Gonna. Happen.

So basically today was the day the United States jumped the shark

So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this. We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...

Trump, who is not mad, has made 30 Truth Social posts in the last 30 minutes, topics including Muslims in the UK, Biden stealing the election, how right he is on Greenland, and other topics.

Yes. My theory of the moment is Miller/Vance thought their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity would be widely shared. But ICE raids are driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants quite courageously. Now Miller is trying to disrupt that alliance with state violence.

The Norwegian government is staying fairly quiet for now, but as a sign of the shifting vibe here the former head of Norway’s armed forces has come out and called the US a “neo-fascist banana republic” and a “hostile great power without norms”. www.dn.no/politikk/tid...

"Formed in 2003, during the embarrassing and disastrous national excesses of the post-9/11 era – when the nation launched two ill-fated forever wars, and demonized Muslim immigrants – ICE’s mandate was overwrought and ill-considered."

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino marches through Minneapolis surrounded by federal agents, shouting at American citizens. This isn’t about deporting “the worst of the worst.” It’s about deliberately sowing fear and chaos in cities that oppose the Trump regime ht: @rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social

There’s no way a party that has masked government agents in major cities rounding up anyone who looks Latino or African and throwing them in prison camps while shooting people who get in their way can win free and fair elections. Malfeasance is their only option. We should expect shenanigans.

ICE Agents Told Not To Stand In Front Of Cars After Renee Good’s Killing

America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.

This man speaks for all of us.

We've learned that for the All Lives Matter crowd, no lives matter.

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true. They are getting creative!

The AI boom has caused memory prices to rise and less investment in graphics chips for PC gamers as chip manufacturers focus on making AI chips. This is expected to impact PC sales this year. Apple is now facing similar challenges as TSMC is prioritizing making AI chips for Nvidia over iPhone chips

Dear Free World: please boycott the World Cup matches here in the U.S. This is now a rogue, extra-legal, xenophobic, unreliable, gratuitously violent, militaristic anti-foreigner government. Stay safe.

“If you put the Apple icons in reverse it looks like the portfolio of someone getting really really good at icon design” (Source: mastodon.social/@heliographe...)

So CBS gave Trump essentially 3/4 of the Evening News tonight, airing an interview that would be right at home on Fox News (dayside, not primetime.) Not a single question about Justice Dept resignations or Epstein Files. Not a single Trump lie corrected. youtu.be/5WkrKoxFghE?...

House Democrats just DEFEATED a Republican bill to let employers deny overtime pay or minimum wage to workers if they classify time worked as "job training" or "education." 6 Republicans joined us and the vote failed; GOP leaders then cancelled votes on two more anti-labor bills.

These names should have been public record anyway. A name without some correlating info like an SSN or birthdate or address isn't even considered PII. Yes, there are exceptions, but they're intended for stuff like CIA undercover operatives, not to enable domestic terrorism like this.

*looks around for the environmental activists who didn’t think the 2nd-ever presidential endorsee of Scientific American in 179 yrs was worth backing after the 1st-ever endorsee won in 2020, & together they passed the largest climate bill in U.S. history* www.scientificamerican.com/article/vote...

Trump yells “fuck you” and flips off an auto worker in Michigan who yelled “pedophile protector” www.tmz.com/2026/01/13/t...

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

Trump's DOJ is going after Renee Good, her wife & possibly their neighbors...and three prosecutors in the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney's office -including the number 2 person- quit because of it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

Noticing even in work meetings that, while most people might end the meeting with "Have a good one" or "See you soon," people in Minneapolis reflexively stay, "Stay safe"

lol

This administration doesn’t want you to see the abject cruelty that ICE is committing. That’s why they’re arresting and shooting legal observers. That’s why they hide their faces with masks.
