ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

this is, i suppose, one way to address a woman, when given the opportunity to show empathy towards abused women "mr trump do you have anything to say to epstein surivors" "how about you shut the fuck up and smile more, you terrible woman"

Pamela Jo Bondi is protecting pedophiles. She is disgusting and needs to be investigated.

Folks, please retweet this. Trump, Noem, and the rest are lying everywhere about what ICE is doing in MN. We have to do everything we can to make sure the country has a clear picture of what is going on.

This was a remarkably crazy response by Mike Johnson's standards. He's going full "stop the steal" and clearly would line up behind any effort Trump makes to rig the midterms and 2028 elections

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

Usually dictators are more subtle about looting the treasury, because gross corruption is often a part of what gets them overthrown.

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

The very well-accepted term for "stripping the legal protections of a minority group and then sending a paramilitary force to carry them away" is "ethnic cleansing." They are planning to ethnically cleanse Springfield, Ohio.

Absolutely disgusting.

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

It’s so heavy when you are going to get groceries and you find a car sitting with its windows broken out and it’s empty but still running and someone’s stuffed animals or pictures or papers are just laying all over the road. I have personally seen at least five of these in the last three days alone

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Just so we are clear. Haitians are currently in the United States legally. They are not here illegally. Trump is revoking their legal status Feb. 3, and then, according to reports, immediately sending ICE in to Springfield and Columbus, Ohio, to target them.

There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in...

When you explain it plainly, it’s hard not to see where we are as a country.

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.

Just got off the phone with a Haitian friend and he remarked how much the execution that we watched in Minneapolis today reminded him of the murders carried out by the irregular forces that supported the army and police back in his home country in the 1990s.

Another Coalition of the Willing and, as in 2003, Tony Blair is again involved 😆

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot That’s murder

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

"'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.

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

state-sponsored child trafficking

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

It is preposterous for Donald Trump to say he no longer feels an obligation to peace… Does the FIFA World Cup World Peace award not mean anything anymore?

We’re watching Trump radicalizing an entire generation in real time

The WaPo reporter whose house was raided and phone was seized by DOJ had developed well over a thousand confidential sources inside a variety of government agencies.

Perennial reminder of this excellent paper about how secret police forces are swamped with underachievers “We don’t want clever people. We want mediocrities.” (Ungated summary here ajps.org/2019/10/08/w...)

Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT: When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

From an email to one of our faculty members.... Not even Plato can escape censorship at Texas A&M!

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

“Non interventionist” MAGA is not going to turn on Trump because of Venezuela. This operation aligns with their vision of dividing the word into spheres of control/ influence. They don’t think this is anything like wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hours after the U.S. invaded Venezuela to seize President Nicolás Maduro, President Trump sent a warning to the governments of Mexico, Cuba and Colombia that their countries could be next. www.axios.com/2026/01/03/t...

1/10 🧵 The U.S. just captured a sitting head of state in a military operation—and Trump says the U.S. will "run" Venezuela “for now.” Whatever you think of Maduro, this is the most consequential unilateral move in the hemisphere since Panama (1989).

The guardrails are gone. (It’s about the oil)

As an old bearded German one said ”History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce"...

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.
