Continues to enrage me that so far zero mainstream journalists have written a story about straight up, zero quibbles, white supremacist Nazi propaganda being posted *daily* by multiple, official, US Government accounts. Just fucking crickets.

Academics - if you are expert in the history of the fourth amendment, today is a day you could pitch your favorite news outlet with a piece about it. If you're interested, do a little writing, then email me lollardfish at gmail and I'll give you some free op-ed coaching.

Wingspan sounds so complicated and impossible if you explain it out loud but it's literally tied for my favorite board game with…Finspan😂 🦆🦈It's just a delight to play, honestly. And so beautiful!

The song "what's my age again" is older than ICE

Much like skateboarding

Ron Wyden last posted to Twitter two days ago. Lujan and Markey have both posted today. Suspending their use of the app is a practical thing these senators could do immediately to raise awareness and bring pressure on others.

I probably undersold this, yeah: this is a moderate former House frontliner directly and in those words calling for the defunding of a major law enforcement agency

No less than @officialmelbrooks.bsky.social has always said it:

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

I can't help imagining the ruthless joking my fellow enlisted soldiers would make at the expense of a real military officer who posted armed guards to go to the bathroom at a Target as well as the soldiers chosen for this auspicious duty. Honestly looks like somewhere between paranoia and hazing.

Training isn't the problem. If you need to be trained to not murder people in cold blood in order to do a job, the job shouldn't exist.

“ please please don’t listen to the Negroes or the Queers !! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE . I know you’re winning and we aren’t fighting Gerry meandering but we would rather die than admit our culpability!!! And also ignore how we don’t cover indigenous voters at all PLEASE PLEASE “

NEW: GoFundMe's rules forbid fundraisers tied to legal funds for violent crimes. One for the ICE agent who killed Renee Good, currently nearing $500K, changed the language in its description after @wired.com reached out (but not in the images at the top of the page, oops) @dell.bsky.social reports:

People are being asked to walk out everywhere at 2 pm on 1/20 - www.freeameri.ca

How ever much they are hurting? It’s not enough

BREAKING: Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife has made a “transformational” donation to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group. This large gift comes just months after the Trump administration shut down counseling services for queer youth. My latest for @wired.com:

Yep. Because people actually love police alternatives - we see that in the polling and the hundreds of millions of dollars already invested in successful non police programs in more than 70 (not just blue state) cities in the U.S.

Today's featured work, is a necklace called "Buffalo Sky": wingssilverwork.com/buffalo-sky-.... Pendants: sterling silver; royal lapis lazuli; natural Fox turquoise; dried cedar shavings.

The person who shot Renee was a cop for ten years. They are cops taking a better paying job. Stop glorifying cops.

You notice how thousands and thousands of cops aren't coming out to condemn Jonathan Ross for senselessly killing Renee Good? This is what people mean by "all cops are bastards". If this were any other profession, the entire group would condemn it. With cops it's the reverse, they all justify it.

Legislators in New York and Hawaiʻi are considering bills that allow their attorneys general to sue fossil fuel companies if climate-related disasters cause residents’ property insurance premiums to rise. Aloha.

Surely the President’s antisemitism task force will be looking into this pronto

Democrats talk A LOT about building a big tent—but as @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social says, “there are two visions for what a big tent means.” We can either “flatter any fabulously rich person” and protect the status quo—or “challenge a rigged system” and fight for big, structural change.

I keep seeing people asking why the police aren't arresting ICE or protecting people from ICE and I desperately need you to understand that the police aren't protecting you from ICE because protecting YOU is not and never has been their function and that's why we need to defund them.

Best Twitter riposte of the day. I started the morning looking at mass protest videos uncertain whether I was watching Minneapolis or Tehran. Turns out it was both.

In the past I would have defended this as being a rhetorical trick to shift the Overton window on ICE being an out of control agency but the public is already there. They don’t need to do this, and at least to me, it just sounds hollow and out of touch now.

The NYT has run a thousand of these pieces over the last decade: The brave Republican pushing back against Trump and leading the party back to normalcy. The shift never comes. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/o...

posting this in case I need to refer to it in the near future: I cope with current events by watching garbage on my tv. do not yell at me that now is not the time to watch garbage. this machine runs on garbage.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why: They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course. The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

Scoop: The EPA will no longer estimate the lives saved by reducing air pollution when writing clean-air regulations, according to documents reviewed by @nytimes.com. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

If anyone ever tells you should do this, I—a person who made a (very bad) decision to try and allow a non-viable pregnancy to resolve on its own (to avoid getting a D&C) and spent weeks feeling like a walking tomb—will come fight them for you

Why do you people lie like this? 👮🏻‍♂️"Show me your f*cking hands n*gger, or I'll blow your f*cking head off!" is what I've been told more than once. A Black immigrant is still more likely to be pulled over by cops and killed for being Black, than pulled over by ICE and killed for being an immigrant.

This morning, Pinal attorney general Brad Miller attempted to hold a “We stand with ICE” press conference on the Senate lawn at the AZ Capitol and about two sentences into his speech he fucked off inside due to an anti-ICE noise demo lol, lmao The crowd blew whistles and chanted “ICE GO HOME!”

I was the first member of Congress to call for abolishing ICE. Turns out I was on to something.

Nobody admits it but the real reason most people get cats is because they make a really good noise if you prod them while they're asleep.

abolishing ice is the bare minimum. feel free to use this illustration if you'd like ❤️

Long looong dog.

FYI I believe this is the news story version of this video. The poster on the door is the same. As you will see, no one opened the door to start with - ICE just broke it down. www.twincities.com/2026/01/11/v...

We literally don’t need ICE for anything

Girl scout cookies for the morning crowd!

A handy script to cancel your Hilton Honors account:

If you are a worker at a place where ice is staying or patronizing, think of creative ways you can gum up the works: Take forever to wait on them or bring them their check. Waste every second of their time you can! Make them repeat themselves again because you “didn’t catch that”

I think it shows how little these goons fear accountability that they are flat-out saying, "Hey, we're just itching for any pretext to murder you."

WHAT

This is f*cked up! There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling. And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen. So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.
