I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE

We are now 29 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files. Where are they?

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

This is how it’s done! @abigailspanberger.com’s first act as Governor of Virginia is to repeal Glenn Youngkin’s executive order that mandated state and local law enforcement cooperate with ICE. More of this please! #LetFreedomRing

Make no mistake, he is justifying violence if he objects to the outcome of an election. Keep that in mind as we prepare for 2026.

I’ll never get over this. Trump unfairly pardoned someone, they turned around and committed a new crime, and Trump pardoned them again. You can commit any any crime you want as long as you have the money, power, and connections to get yourself a pardon. edition.cnn.com/2026/01/17/p...

*This* is why winning the AG’s race was so important — VA is going to be join a raft of lawsuits against the Trump administration, including unlawful dismantling of federal agencies and cuts to federally-funded programs, protecting our neighbors, stopping the assault on democracy, and clean energy.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: The reasonable, centrist, moderate position come 2028 will more than just abolish ICE & dismantle DHS; it’ll be “life in prison for ICE,” if it isn’t already. Thank you @abigailspanberger.com for taking real action to weaken ICE in Virginia.

History made in Virginia today. Congratulations to @abigailspanberger.com on being sworn in as the commonwealth's first woman governor. Breaking barriers, opening doors, and leading with purpose.

a hot take: there is real overlap between spanberger’s first set of executive orders and mamdani’s www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

It’s weird that Trump can stand up to allies but not Russia

Four GOP Senators. At most four Repubs in the House. Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

In addition to pushing out board members at UVA, Virginia's new governor has fired the lead attorneys at VMI and George Mason. Things are happening quickly as political control fully flips to Democrats.

We should all send our childhood participation trophies and random stupid medals for 6th place T-ball to: Attn: The Littlest Middle Finger Boy Who was Never Loved 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington D.C 20500

🙌🏾 Congratulations to Virginia on a huge step toward expanding voting rights. Let voters decide.

10-15 years ago, I never imagined Virginia going down this path

ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point. When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.

South Carolina measles outbreak is exploding. Cases doubled in a week. 200+ new infections, 500+ total, 100’s quarantined, kids and adults hospitalized. Doctors say we’re “staring over the edge.” This is what happens when public health is ignored. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AUS0BfoxiQf2...

I don't think people understand how violent ICE has been against US citizens. They are just beating the shit out of people for sport now. bsky.app/profile/stat...

You're paying for this. Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs. Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.

Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

Jimmy Kimmel offers to let Trump have one of his trophies if he will pull ICE out of Minneapolis.

Oh...and I'll just bet not many thought about this??---- IF a war breaks out between US and Denmark or with any other NATO nation, WHO do you think he'll enlist? NO ONE IN HIS FAMILY, BUT OURS! YEP, OUR KIDS, GRANDKIDS , our friends and neighbors kids...ANYONE 18 or older!

Maria Machado probably thinks she's saving her country by gifting her medal to Trump. In reality, what she presented to Trump is all her honor and valor.

It is far more dangerous for a Minnesota resident to venture out on daily errands than it was before Trump's secret pol ICE showed up. How does this make America safe again? For anyone?

This is absolutely what happened.

Here's Virginia Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell explaining, moments ago on the Senate floor, why Democrats today moved to ask voters to allow temporary gerrymandering of Virginia in response to GOP gerrymandering elsewhere: "All of us should be disturbed by the necessity of what we're doing."

ICE has shot a mother in the face, put a 16-year-old in a chokehold, and permanently blinded at least two protestors — and that’s just some of what we know. And now this. Despicable.

You may feel helpless — a powerless observer of this hurricane of violence. Please do not succumb to helplessness, despair, or fear. You are needed — desperately. Here are some things you can do. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/mobilizing-america

Posted by @liminalwarmth.bsky.social: “Someone I personally know in Minneapolis posted this to Facebook a few hours ago. This isn’t what orderly law enforcement looks like. No charge, no location info? How do you even know citizens are getting due process here?”

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

Sneering at questions about canceling elections tells us exactly how seriously this administration takes democracy.

Jesus. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Minneapolis residents are painting tunnels onto brick walls and ICE agents are running into them. This is not funny.
