People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars

Congratulations to the judges of the 8th circuit. ICE got your message loud and clear.

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

Trafficking the boy after using him as bait, pinning someone in the snow to spray into their mask, shooting Marimar Martinez, murdering Renee Good—Bovino and Miller are asserting the right to harm anyone they want. The only acceptable response is to make sure they can no longer harm anyone at all.

In Trump's telling, the US are the equivalent of the Nazis

There’s a saying in Russian referring to one’s laziness - “won’t move until the grilled chicken bites him in the behind. EU, wake up. Realize that you hold USD practically in your hands.

Imagine knowing your political leader is mentally unstable, dangerous, and corrupt and refusing to admit it or do anything about it. Now meet all GOP representatives and senators.

History will likely teach the US had more to lose by abandoning our European allies than it ever had to gain from Donald Trump

Well said. And if the federal laws won't do this, the states, which grant corporate status, can and should.

Do not comply in advance.

I like this @angryblacklady.blacksky.app. As my colleague Tom Saenz says, “we have to use the whole Constitution.”

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

It may not have the hot clang of the Book of Revelation, but when the Danes are selling your bonds it has not been a good day.

He's the Acting Field Office Director! His name is a matter of public record!

A federal judge’s comprehensive rebuke of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) aggressive campaign for California’s voter rolls last week could hurt DOJ’s cases against other states, experts say. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

the average minnesota mom has done more to fight donald trump than almost the entire senate democratic caucus

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Two DOGE members working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with a group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls" www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

This is actually an understatement—the response was totally unhinged—but I'm glad Judge Novak is highlighting the Justice Department's venomous rhetoric.

New brief from State Futures & @brennancenter.org: As federal election security support retreats, states are stepping up. Lawmakers can protect secure, accessible, and trusted elections through legislation, oversight, communications, & partnerships. Read more: static1.squarespace.com/static/67772...

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT… We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself. 📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

The single biggest drop estimated by NFAP is among immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. In other words, a huge drop in family-based immigration, which the Trump admin has attacked for years (despite using it for Melania's parents).

What's happening in this country? @maya4rights.bsky.social : "Nothing good." The government keeps acting like it’s untouchable. And the rest of us are supposed to just watch? No.

Since Trump was re-elected, @forbes.com estimates— 💰His net worth is up $2.3 billion, to an $6.7 billion 💰Eric’s has increased tenfold, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s has increased sixfold, to $300 million 💰19-year-old Barron Trump is worth $150 million

This is what historian Robert Kagan on what it means for the world. We’re responding to this crisis as if it’s just another crisis. It’s not. This is it. It’s the political crisis of our lifetimes. And how we respond in the US & UK & Europe is critical. 4/

Ignore the political pundits. They’ve failed us. The media is failing us. Listen to the historians. This is Conservative historian Robert Kagan on what is happening in Minneapolis & what it means for the US…& the world 3/

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland. There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same. And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment. 1/

Seems the EU may wake up sooner than our Corp Dems. Of course, our "democracy" has always and certainly continues to focused on expansion and domination. Our oligarchs demand our "leaders" be subservient to their whims, whether it's Gaza genocide, white supremacy, or transfer of wealth to the 1%.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.

If you want to see the “mainstreaming of hate” in 2026, look at the videos of Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate partying to “Heil Hitler” in Miami this past weekend. This isn’t fringe. It’s the cultural vanguard of the MAGA machine. I break down how the pipeline to extremism was built in my latest piece.

As expected, DHS’s claims were false. It’s still possible the men previously lived at the address, but it’s clear they didn’t even bother to check whether they still lived there before publicly claiming the men currently lived with Mr. Thao.

BREAKING — ChongLy Scott Thao's family has released a statement disputing DHS's outrageous justification for his arrest. "He does not live with, nor has he ever lived with, the individuals DHS claims were targets of this operation...[the family] does not know the individuals DHS references."
