Preparing early for NC (and beyond) giant ice storm so I can try to enjoy my day off without too much dread. May the Force be with you.

Remember how all these republicans pretended to believe in free speech?

There is currently a bill pending in Congress to fund ICE It already passed through the House Somehow 7 Democrats voted for it Please-tell your Senator they cannot give money to a rogue group of federal agents who violate the law to terrorize and even kill people in America Call now 202-224-3121

Why is no one talking about this? We send money to a family member overseas for health insurance and our payments that started at $125 us has gone up over $180 with currency exchange in just 4 months. Thanks republicans!

We have to talk about the trauma that ICE is inflicting upon minors by kidnapping their parents in front of them.

Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .

At first glance, a General Strike sounds impossible — but a strategic look back at the coordinated strikes and militancy of the past two decades shows we might be much closer than we think. All eyes are on Minnesota for tomorrow.

100 cosponsors and 30k letters sent to Congress for impeaching Noem in a week is something special. But we aren’t even close to the finish line, so let’s keep pushing!

The U.S.-sanctioned “Board of Peace” is imposing a colonial mandate in Gaza. It is the latest example of the "shock doctrine," with the U.S. and Israel attempting to transform Palestinian society in Gaza after destroying it through genocide.

A much more accurate name would be Executives United.

Tesla quietly cuts 1,700 jobs at Gigafactory Berlin despite denying it A new report from the German business newspaper Handelsblatt confirms that the automaker has been quietly downsizing the plant’s workforce significantly, based on figures reported by the workers’ council. /1

The GOP is digging its own grave… my brief thoughts on today’s disgraceful hearing. More tomorrow

The president can say something like “self defense,” “national security,” “war on terror,” “war on drugs,” something something “narco-trafficking” & instantly 1/3 of the population will assume any action is justified, even if results in the torture & death of countless civilians.

Less than a third of voters think the country is better off now than it was a year ago, according to a new poll, as affordability concerns dominate.

ICE is a taxpayer funded agency built on family separation, racial profiling, abuse, and lies. Cruelty is carried out in our name. Democrats who still voted to fund it: •Davis (NC-01) •Cuellar (TX-28) •Gillen (NY-04) •Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) •Gonzalez (TX-34) •Golden (ME-02) •Suozzi (NY-03) 1/2

If you still need to be “convinced” ICE is beyond repair, you are not undecided. You are choosing to look away.

Pouring more money into DHS while it operates with impunity and a blatant disregard for human life is unconscionable. You don’t fix abuse by funding it. You stop it by cutting off its funding and dismantling the institution that’s terrorizing communities. tinyurl.com/mr3em3k8

It appears that juries are no more likely to believe Kristi Noem's lying bullshit than they are to believe Pam Bondi's lying bullshit. Nice try, little Greg Bovino. news.wttw.com/2026/01/22/c...

ICE must, collectively and individually, be destroyed. They are committing #Sedition and possibly #Treason. They are committing assault, murder, arson, kidnap, rape while intentionally breaking the Constitution. They use nerve agents on the innocent. They are OUTLAWS and we must act.

#EPSTEIN RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES

These type of people are America's only shot at ever being great. In other words, they are the opposite of empathy-free Donald Trump and his terrorizing Gestapo goons who are destroying our country. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...

We must stop the purchasing of our elected representatives by big money seeking favors.

ICE descends on Maine. "[Gov. Janet] Mills said, ‘Look, Maine knows what good law enforcement looks like because our law enforcement are held to high professional standards.... they don’t wear a mask..., and they don’t arrest people in order to fill a quota.’” abcnews.go.com/US/dhs-launc...

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

This is what fascism looks like. Use the word. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/immigration-officers-claim-sweeping-power-to-enter-homes-without-a-judges-warrant-memo-says

Hold onto any footage you take of ICE. We need to stockpile all the evidence of these crimes so they can be prosecuted later.

Dear Mr. Smith, I’m going to ask you a bunch of nonsensical questions, but you are not allowed to answer any of them because I’m going to keep answering them myself with lies. Not so sincerely, Crazy lady Representative

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.

hello Mr Vice President this is your economist speaking I am advising you to keep using this metaphor

McBath plays audio of Trump asking Raffensperger to find votes for him

Worth noting that among those participating in ICE/DHS watch in Minneapolis today — who Emmer appears to frame as “chaos agents” here — are literally hundreds of clergy.

Jack Smith: "The people who assaulted police officers and were convicted after trial in my view and I think in the view of the judges who sentenced them to prison are dangerous to their community. Some of these people have already committed crimes against their communities again."

That was the best

VAN DREW: Trump asked Pelosi for the National Guard-- RASKIN: Are you saying Nancy Pelosi controls the National Guard? You know she doesn't VAN DREW: Reclaim my time!

Blaming the victims DARVO

Moskowitz reads quotes of Republicans denouncing January 6 before they taught themselves to love it

Send them all home, or to the gulags!

JD Vance lies shamelessly: "Right now we're focused on Minneapolis because that's where we have the highest concentration of people who have violated our immigration laws."

I know we all know this but DOJ is supposed to be independent of the presidency. Not a weapon of such

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home! Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

oh i see they sent JD out again to eat shit

These repub congressmen look like the petty dishonest turds they are

My impression of republican congressmen in the jack smith hearing, lie lie lie, poor us why is everyone against republicans, poor us!

Given that it took nearly two years to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Trump, "pressure" is not the word to associate with Merrick Garland.

Q: Did you uncover evidence to prove Trump knew his claim the election was stolen was false? SMITH: Yes Q: And Trump claimed it was stolen while he privately acknowledged he lost? SMITH: Yes Q: Yet on the 5th anniversary of J6, Trump still promoted the stolen election theory on a govt webpage

Swalwell: "My Republican colleagues are a joke. History will harshly judge them ... these guys are so lucky they're not under oath, because they would have to tell you what they really think of Trump. They call him crooked, they call him cruel, they call him a scumbag ... you're tiny, small."

Lieu: "How scared are Republicans of talking about the Epstein files? They are so scared that they literally are calling Jack Smith ... Republicans would rather talk about the criminality of Donald Trump than about his associations with Epstein and his pedophelia ring."

Lieu uses his questioning time to contrast how Biden let Jack Smith operate independently with how Trump orders his underlings to open politicized investigations into his political foes

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."
