From someone on the ground in Lewiston, Maine:

ICE is underwater with noncollege whites, god damn

"We know that there are people who are angry...the challenge has been that while there are lots and lots of people and lots of groups out there, finding them is hard, and understanding how you fit is difficult." @staceyabrams.com Story by George Chidi. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I don’t know why people assume they can say whatever they want to me and imma just be cool with that. That’s literally never been me. Not even close.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

My cousin texted me about ICE patrolling her apartment complex, and how a bunch of kids won’t go to the bus stop anymore. This is terror. And, as usual, the children will suffer most.

Here’s Wunmi Mosaku (who im over the moon got nominated for supporting actress for Sinners) talking about how playing Annie and this film changed her

AND DID!!!

They should hear what the students call her. It ain’t MVP.

This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

New VHS tapes arrived today 😍 Just a few childhood faves.

Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul has until Wednesday to turn over employment records to the Department of Homeland Security as part of a surprise audit launched Friday, just hours after one of the shop's owners criticized ICE agents during a television interview. bit.ly/4r5AFol

The article I've been WAITING TO READ go @lmatsakis.bsky.social

One of the first things anyone learns about facial recognition is that it is often wrong and that it is biased. And yet ICE is using it all day every day to determine legal status & who to detain. And now we have a high-profile example of it being flat out wrong: www.404media.co/ices-facial-...

All of Indiana lit up today by the fires of victory, and the spoils of Chipotle-fueled stadium battles. Hell yeah, Hoosiers. Hell yeah.

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

@arriana.bsky.social had to follow off the strength of that username alone 😂

Aw Cignetti smiled 🥹🫶🏾

Each time I see the IU coach, I think about the fact that he has more Chipotle points than the entire state of Indiana.

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

🚨"I'm a nurse...my brown patients are choosing to stop chemo because they do not want to be abducted." -ICE protester tells JT Cestkowski about sick Minnesotans foregoing cancer treatment because of ICE terror. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Never gonna be shocked by the weird behavior of a person who called HR on a coworker for not being willing to go to lunch with her.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

At this point, it’s definitely the pope.

Starting a book club with some friends, I’ll be hosting! And I just got a split hot pot for my birthday 😈

“In Florida’s Polk County School District — where Gaggle flagged some 500 students over four years — this meant that at least 72 kids so far have been arrested or hospitalized involuntarily under the state’s Baker Act.”

One of the kids I used to nanny texted me for my thoughts on his homecoming outfit. I am the coolest person who ever lived.

The Guardian interviews museum leaders inside and outside Washington about President Trump's attempts to interfere with the independence of the Smithsonian Institution.

The division has lost over $77 billion since its inception in 2020.

From @mprnews.org: "DHH began packing groceries when the immigration operation started back in December. They had families register if they needed groceries delivered. In the first day, 2,000 families registered. Now, they have more than 24,000 families registered and there is a waitlist."

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I hadn’t realized until recently that we have The Peoples Laundry Mpls! thepeopleslaundrympls.com

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — US judge rules federal officers in Minneapolis-area immigration operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.

Stunning photos from Minneapolis, including this one by John Locher for the Associated Press. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

Unbelievable. Troops from France, Germany, the UK, Norway, and Sweden are arriving in Greenland right now. Trump has turned our allies against us.

Midwestern Excellence.

This is important and, also, not not new. There were reports of this in LA, Portland, and Chicago, at least, as well.

A ban on sending books and magazines to prisoners in Arkansas prisons goes into effect Feb. 1, putting into place the strictest regulations in the country on sending outside publications to the incarcerated
