Well I’m gonna go out on a limb and say today America blew right through that 3% tipping point

looking at reddit.com/r/all right now is wild. 80% of the posts are anti ice from every kind of subreddit like NBA, climbing, nursing, batman, catbongos and music

NEW: The ICE killing of Alex Pretti, the second in Minneapolis, prompts quick legal action. After ICE agents killed Alex Pretti on Saturday, lawyers responded quickly — leading to one TRO issued before the night's end aimed at preserving evidence of the killing. My report at Law Dork:

The killing happened about 15 hours ago. Since then: - MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (FBI equivalent) got a warrant for the evidence on the scene - Tried to execute it - Were forcibly turned away by feds - Filed for a temporary restraining order - TRO granted by the federal district court

BREAKING: Trump-appointed judge blocks FBI/DOJ/DHS from destroying or altering evidence related to shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis. Judge Eric Tostrud grants TRO & sets Monday hearing. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Friends sending me lots of stories about this one particular ICE agent - really more like child soldier. He couldn’t have been more than 23 and came to the scene of the shooting fully kitted in U of MN branded clothes. Apparently he made a 6-7 joke

BREAKING: Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul lawyers escalate their request for an immediate TRO to temporarily halt Operation Metro Surge following today's ICE killing of Alex Pretti — noting three shootings by ICE in the past three weeks, after 11 months of no officer-involved shootings in Mpls.

My neighbor just told me they are having a baybeeeeee in April and so are a couple other neighbors (lotsa pre-first house couples here) so yay! Baby summer at the pool

Hey remember PublicSquare, that website where MAGA humpers listed their own businesses in the deluded idea that it would work out well for them? It backfired spectacularly.

Hmmmmm maybe they were making that up too

Realizing I have so many pics/vids on my phone of memorials/vigils like this from Trump-era violence - for MAX train stabbing victims. Portland, 2017

My MORMON friends and neighbors are posting They have always been more progressive than people assume (I’m up here at the birthplace) but rarely rarely raaaaaarely post politics at all Multiple posts tonight

There are bad ways to protest Oh boy are there Catch me when I’m very chill and we can talk At least 90% of my public rage is for Code Pink and black flag anarchists so you are probably safe with what you are up to good people of the Sky

NEW: Many have reported that ICE intends to build a new detention center in Hutchins, Texas, that can house up to 9,500, but no one has reported the exact location — until now. www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...

Ali Velshi is doing a segment tomorrow with someone on “How to Effectively Protest” That’s very cool - I’m old school so I am totes curious what they highlight I’m such a dork I know

It's all anecdotal, but I know armed white guys of various ages and political bents, and... feels safe to say this is opening some eyes in unexpected places

I totally think so I grew up in a no guns period house and am far more understanding of the appropriate context for guns than my Navy dad was But years in hunting lands and far flung places - every gun owner I know is also Dem or at least old school NY Republican (now called leftists lol)

I know I still need to do my Kent post but this is a great cue for me to highlight one bit: The National Guard at Kent State were 18 20 ish and exhausted from a weekend Teamster’s strike ICE are grown men (& women) for whom this is their full time job

The federal agents committing murder are all trained and experienced. They’re doing what they were trained to do.

BREAKING: Minnesota plaintiffs ask federal appeals court to allow protections for those exercising constitutional rights following today's ICE killing of Alex Pretti. They ask the 8th Circuit to lift the admin stay issued in the First/Fourth Amend case. Background: www.lawdork.com/i/184842027/...

Abraham and Isaac was sculpted by George Seagal in 1978 on commission to be a memorial to Kent State killed and wounded (It is at Princeton if you’d like to see it in person)

One of our friends on the ground in Minneapolis pretty well nailed exactly where we, and America, are at tonight

My co-protestor Mabel is not impressed with ICE (or ice) We all have more to do tomorrow — this has to stop for Minnesota And every other state the Trump White House targets Or are we already no longer a Union? #lovethyneighbor #ICEOUT

Jeez the SVU guy has an ad for Chronic Lyme Disease that is… intense But I will now be very concerned about Lyme Disease And everything else

Turned my lights purple and played neighborhood dj for a few songs It’s too cold for the cows but neighborhood sure heard it And the cows were already on the side of good #iceout

6pm tonite wherever you are Mabel and I invite you to join us in making some noise We’ll be on the deck with Woody Guthrie and the big soup pot to bang a gong with #ICEOUT

Ran out to snow shop and heading back out shortly to deliver meds to Grandma Dox I haven’t seen the new angle video yet but it sounds like the same old ICE lies proven lies stuff

The man killed by ICE was Alex Pretti, a 37-year old Minneapolis resident, UMN graduate, and licensed nurse. The Star Tribune with information we know at the moment: www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

“Agents appear to have fired at least 10 shots within five seconds at him while he was on the ground, according to a Times analysis of verified videos posted to social media. Chief O’Hara said investigators believe that at least two agents opened fired.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us...

Our country is founded on law enforcement is the most ridiculous thing she could hairball up

Here comes the flood of lies from the Trump machine

The bravery of Minnesotans should inspire us all.

I don’t care if only the cows and my neighbors hear me I’m getting loud at 6pm

6pm tonight wherever you are Make a noise for Minnesota Bang pots & pans on your porch blast music from your window holler from deck Drum from your yard Make your noise Our America - ICE OUT NOW

On Xitter Fox News Deportation Propagandist Bill Melugin has been supplied w/pic of a gun the latest victim was allegedly in possession of. No reason to believe that's true (especially since the video doesn't show anyone retrieving one). Also no allegation the guy PULLED IT--only that he had one.

I’m on Fox for the moment They immediately have a quote from DHS claiming the man shot this morning was armed with a weapon and 2 magazines But DHS has zero credibility at this point

"abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved" is the moderate position

MSNOW has the MPLS shooting this morning now - CNN not yet Fox has it full tilt

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

All of these people getting abducted and shot are our neighbors. All of them. If you are moved by what’s happening in Minnesota, you can already bring their actions closer to home. They are all our neighbors.

Trump: "They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan. ... They stayed a little back, little off the front lines." Deaths in Afghanistan per million of population: US: 7.9 Denmark: 7.7 UK: 7.2 Estonia: 6.7 www.wsj.com/world/europe...

A producer in the London bureau is the *only* CBS person quoted in their story about Israel killing its longtime freelance cameramen in Gaza—someone who once filed dispatches for them from an ambulance, while wounded. Not quoted: The network’s editor in chief. www.cbsnews.com/news/journal...

Video of the crowd in MN in a day where the high was -8 are just mind blowing. I’ve lived there. This is a phenomenally huge crowd for a city this size www.tiktok.com/t/ZThDt1bDq/

Key messages: We are ON IT and your tax money pays for some great stuff that will help Enthusiasm for governing Go figure

I have never felt particularly inspired by a pre-storm press conference but damn Mamdani is very very good at this

More than 400 British military personnel died in Afghanistan

Bet she has no idea what parts of American history happened in and around New Orleans At all

Interesting results in the new NY Times Sienna College poll. Any new support for Republicans among nonwhite voters that appeared in 2024 has evaporated. But also, there is no college/non-college educational polarization among nonwhite voters. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...
