I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

An ICE surge is expected soon in #Columbus and #Springfield in #Ohio, now that Trump is ending protections for tens of thousands of LEGAL Haitian immigrants religionnews.com/2026/01/26/a... "Just do it the right way" was always a lie

Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself. But the public will not be gaslit. We will continue to spread the truth to our communities. Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

This is what EVERY elected Republican should be doing! If you are running as a Republican YOU are complicit in everything they are doing. Stand up and step out!

Target in Minneapolis has pulled Hispanic employees off of pick-up order duty after ICE arrested two US citizen Hispanic employees while on the job. “I’m literally a U.S. citizen!” one shouted as they escorted him into a van.

Statement by President Clinton

Authoritarianism prevails not because people stop believing the truth, but because they stop saying it aloud. If we wish to remain free, we must refuse that silence. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/lies...

Important thread.

Minnesota victims of MAGA violence

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

That wasn't "yes," which means it would be a lie too undeniable *for her.* That's a very high bar for something that would be too obviously a lie.

Media keeps describing Pretti as a “protester” - “why bring a gun to a protest” - but he was something much more akin to a community-based first responder for ICE sightings. He likely wasn’t expecting to get beaten in the street by them or have any violent encounter. Just observe and alert.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

holy shit they are still asking Democrats if they will tone down the rhetoric

Q: They defied a search warrant this morning. Do you think they'll abide by a federal court order? FREY: Everybody listen to that question. The question is 'will this administration abide by a court order.' These are the underpinnings of our democracy and Constitution. The answer better be yes.

Have any of the supposed Second Amendment absolutists on Capitol Hill weighed in on the new “lawfully carrying a gun merits summary execution” standard?

🚨 "Why are you still fundraising for Dems in the middle of another murder by ICE?" Because *IF* we still have legitimate elections this November (and sooner...there's 2 more special elections TUESDAY *IN MINNESOTA*), I want to electorally wipe out EVERY FUCKING REPUBLICAN I CAN. Blue26.org

Remove them. Defund them. Abolish them. Prosecute them.

Chief Strategist for Rand Paul.

rosen was one of the Ds who decided to break ranks and vote reopen the gov't last time. folks, hold on to your butts. i think it's all but guaranteed we're shutting it down until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

No more funding for ICE. Period, full stop. This cannot be allowed to go on.

Vivek Ramaswamy is unreal, man. Like, don’t get me wrong. Ohio is definitely dumb enough to elect a jetsetting billionaire to fix affordability. But we will get what we deserve if we do.

Vivek Ramaswamy's blinder of a campaign continued Friday, when he allowed his new security team to park his personal SUV across three handicap spots outside a campaign stop in Grandview.

And then they forcibly detained him. A boy. The vast majority of the American people are gonna make it super clear that this is not what America will be. No fucking way.👇

UNREAL: Per NY Times amazing reporting today they found "Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view." We live in a 3rd world sh*thole! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

lmao jesus christ

🇪🇸🇺🇦 Spanish PM Sanchez: "A US invasion of Greenland would make Putin the happiest man in the world. Why? Because it would legitimize his invasion of Ukraine. If the US were to use force in Greenland, it would be a fatal blow to NATO. Putin would have double reason to rejoice."

Appeasing Trump always produces the opposite result the appeasers are hoping to achieve. There are thousands of examples over decades, but somehow people still don’t get it. Bill Cassidy and Europe found out yesterday. Someone else will find out today, then another tomorrow.

🤦‍♀️

This is not what our servicemembers signed up for - to be deployed against their fellow Americans.

Wtaf?

Republicans insisting the Clintons testify about what’s in the Epstein Files instead of just releasing the Epstein Files is peak idiocy.

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.

We don't need to play games parsing US law or international treaties to figure out if it's legal for Trump to do this. It's not. It's crystal clear it's all illegal. Everyone's just pretending we're not at the point where the thing to do is to remove him. It's an advanced state of political denial.

Protests in Greenland and Denmark. We stand with them. Resist! ✊ FDT!

ICE hops Texas family's fence and attacks them, guns drawn, for asking for a warrant

Renee Good had a pulse when EMS arrived. I’m not sure it would have made a difference if ICE had let that civilian physician render aid before EMS arrived, but now we will never know. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

🚨 "The [ICE] officer charged me with pepper spray and then clocked me in the eye, knocked off my glasses, then he clocked me again with more pepper spray and punching me and then arrested me," -Mark, an ICE protester with severe black eye from being beaten by ICE. LIVE NOW⬇️

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

terrific conversation with @whstancil.bsky.social about what's going on in his home minneapolis right now. at the end he puts it very bluntly: ICE is not an immigration agency that just needs some technocratic reforms. ICE is a terror agency operating under the fig leaf of immigration.

As WSJ calls Mamdani a "communist" for suggesting that the wealthiest pay tax rates that are still lower than they were under Eisenhower, Trump is engaged in bona fide communism by forcing state ownership of major commercial ventures. Here's yet another one.
