"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

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.

Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens. Call it what it is — fascism. History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.

We are now 36 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

The Senate will vote on the DHS funding bill next week and it can’t pass without Democratic votes. That means Democrats have real leverage to rein in ICE, but they won’t use it unless we force them to. Call your senators: indivisible.org/ice-out-sena... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Smith: Again, and I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will.

It’s so interesting that the comet pizza-Q-Anon folks have disappeared just as their deeply held concerns about a widespread elite child trafficking conspiracy has been proven correct

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

Top Trump Official Says FBI Won’t Investigate Killing by ICE Agent DOJ targets now include victim Renée Good’s widow, Gov. Walz, and Mayor Frey—but not shooter Jonathan Ross.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

I’m just glad the US military is finally focused on the real threats - Minnesota and Denmark.

Large protests broke out in Denmark and Greenland under the slogan “Hands off Greenland.” Crowds gathered in front of Copenhagen’s City Hall before marching to the U.S. Embassy, demanding respect for Greenlanders’ right to self-determination and opposing reported U.S. plans concerning the island.

Block instantly.

If Tom Brady gives me one of his Super Bowl rings it doesn’t make me a Super Bowl winner.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

If you need any more proof of who this Admin serves, look no further. The EPA will no longer consider harm to HUMAN LIFE when setting air pollution limits. What will they consider? The bottom lines of the CEOs of the biggest polluters. A headline from The Onion come to life.

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country

We are now 25 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

I don’t see how this country survives until 2029 unless Trump is impeached and removed. This level of lawless malice is not sustainable. What fresh horrors await us this week?

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.

I wanted to share some thoughts on what has been an incredibly difficult week. My friends, we will win and we will rebuild. We have no other choice. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-our-power-courage

The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting. Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.

Looking back, everyone will one day realize that all that woke stuff was right. Unfortunately, being right won’t erase the suffering.

There’s a special kind of grief many of us are feeling tonight. Because it didn’t have to be like this.

This is a test for Democrats right now. If you really want to grab the mantle of leadership and emerge as a frontrunner, you have to speak out forcefully and against ICE... Right now. No centrist mealy-mouthed bullshit.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Great question.

Tell your elected officials to do everything in their power to stand up to Trump and prevent war with Venezuela. Email your Members of Congress: act.indivisible.org/sign/stop-tr... Call your senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal... And call your representative: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

He watched it from his house. Not from the seat of government. And experienced it as a TV show. He is a non-president.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

I agree.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

“Meanwhile, I’m haunted by the invisible impact of the insatiable greed that’s so widespread (and sadly, celebrated) in our multi-millionaire and billionaire class.”

We’ve had enough of this two-tiered justice system where the ultrarich never face consequences. Tell your GOP Members of Congress that constituents aren’t letting them off the hook — Republicans backed the Epstein Transparency Act and now they need to ensure the law is upheld.
