NEW — DHS just posted this as an apparent explanation for why they arrested an elderly US citizen with no criminal record (it's a quote post of a post about ChongLy Thao's arrest.) The implication seems to be that all Asian men look the same, and it's not their fault they mistook one for another.

I feel like my local Bluesky followers have mostly seen these resources already, but if you have less-connected friends who are trying to figure out how to pitch in on our current community project, feel free to use this link: naomikritzer.com/2026/01/19/h...

FWIW Any customer who didn't know this is how Atlas would behave just doesn't pay attention. This is absolutely in keeping with how John, Atlas, and employees have behaved for years and years. Anyway. Cursed Court and Dice Miner are fantastic board games.

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...

"Politics" is a thought-terminating phrase used to deny the dignity of other humans. If you are fine with murder under color of law, of targeting the least among us... fix your heart, touch grass, and make amends for your transgression.

Edmonton TCG friends, heres a weird guy to not buy cards from

Feel free to tell him, from a Magic artist, that he’s an awful human being and we all hate him.

I, who have never shown any interest in your products or the type of products you sell, declare that I am going to never again buy your products, because I am angry that you said things that conflict factually with my favorite propaganda sources.

Not for the first time, it looks like Channel 4 just handed the keys to their socials to an evil genius:

"Cardinal Tobin said he was struck by voices in the Trump administration who seemed to be advancing a moral framework he described as 'almost a Darwinian calculus that the powerful survive and the weak don’t deserve to.' 'I would say that’s less than human'...” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/u...

The European Commission has called an extraordinary meeting of commissioners on Friday, three officials told POLITICO. The focus will be Trump’s threats to annex Greenland, one of them said. More updates on our live blog: www.politico.eu/article/gree...

WHEN ASKED IF HE WOULD USE FORCE TO SEIZE GREENLAND, TRUMP SAID “NO COMMENT"-NBC NEWS

I mean, he expects the Norwegian government to force the committee to do what he wants. Like he forces our independent organizations to do what he wants. If the White House can run HR at Harvard, surely the Norwegian PM can write in an award candidate.

'“As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have on several occasions clearly explained to Trump what is well known, namely that it is an independent Nobel Committee, and not the Norwegian government, that awards the prize,” [Norwegian Prime Minister] Mr. Store said.'

Atlas Games will be closed on January 23rd in observance of the Day of Truth & Freedom. atlas-games.com/news/post?s=...

The assumption of people like JD Vance that the European far right will forever be pro-America and easily flattered with talk show appearances and book deals seems pretty questionable

Politico reports that due to Trump’s threats to annex Greenland, European leaders are currently considering the creation of an alternative security framework. www.politico.eu/article/dona...

mad king moment from the PBS Newshour correspondent

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

I've harped on congressional war powers for a long time and we do need to fix all that, but threatening to invade Greenland while ranting at Norway about the Nobel Peace Prize and imposing trade sanctions on NATO is more the kind of thing you can only fix by not having a literally insane president.

I have several friends in MN and watching them on FB patiently explaining repeatedly that yes actually what they are personally witnessing in their neighborhoods is bad while their non-MN conservative friends go “nuh uh, that’s a liberal narrative, here’s the facts from a podcast I like” is crazy

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

I'm just blocking a lot of rabid Stencil-haters. I don't care if people don't like him but if your big online mission in this moment is to bring him and his little car down a notch, *plonk*

Please help us spread the word. While this petition is not worded as strongly as we would prefer, it nevertheless represents a tool for trying to break the ICE contract with the Douglas County Jail. The petition is by Superior City Councilor Garner Moffat. actionnetwork.org/petitions/co...

ICE agents at a hotel in St. Paul woke up this morning to news that they’re getting kicked out of their hotel today at noon.

MINNESOTA: Friday is a statewide day of non-violent moral action and reflection. That means no work, no school, and no shopping — only community, conscience, and collective action. Plus, there will be a peaceful march and rally in downtown Minneapolis: iceoutnowmn.com

How it started/how it's going

NOEM IS LYING. I have seen people get taken! It was the same each time: armed men racing out of a blacked-out SUV, seizing a screaming or fleeing pedestrian, and pulling them into the car without any attempt to even learn their identity. Always a person alone on the street. Always a person of color.

National media: Please stop describing what’s happening in Minneapolis as “protests.” There has been a modest, sustained protest outside the Whipple federal building, about 10 miles from downtown, but... 1/3

This is my regular reminded that if your clothes are full of tear gas and/or pepper spray, air them for a day if at all possible and then wash them twice ON COLD. If you come home and throw them in on hot right away you will kinda gas your laundry room. <3 #Minneapolis #StPaul #FuckICE

so RFK is doing this whole marketing campaign about whole milk and i am 100% certain that it was originally supposed to be for raw milk but they pussied out at the last minute

Fun fact about Minnesota: It is the largest state in which Trump lost the 2016 primary and all three general elections.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

Timothy Ryan Gregg, 51, an ICE / HSI agent from Eagan, MN, was arrested in June 2025 for enticing a minor and production of child sexual abuse material. Gregg is a supporter of Donald Trump and his archived Parler profile is still online at web.archive.org/web/20210111...

We will now begin naming ICE and BORTAC agents who have been participating in kidnapping and murder. Meet T.J. Rico of McAllen, TX, a BORTAC agent who accompanied Greg Bovino to Chicago and Minneapolis. Rico is married to a famous Unvision news anchor who covers CBP, raising concerns of bias.

WANTED FOR KIDNAPPING / ASSAULT - Andres Sillas, Jr., 49 of Laredo, TX: BORTAC agent with Customs and Border Protection. He is in Minneapolis now and he was in Chicago in October Insignia "EZ-11" (BORTAC) and "LRT0125" (Laredo SRT). Scorpion patch on helmet. #OneOfOursAllOfYours #ICEList #UnmaskICE

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.
