Jim Jordan has never passed the bar exam. The fact that he serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee tells you everything about how seriously today’s Republican Party takes its responsibility for legal oversight.

This cruelty & racism is seeping into all parts of life. Many kids are being traumatized, but others are emulating it. Children are learning from their hateful parents & a hateful President & Republican party that tormenting others is the norm. Are you okay with that? What will you do to stop it?

The US is due to officially exit the World Health Organization on January 22, in the face of warnings it will hit both US health and global health and also in violation of a US law that requires Washington to pay the UN health agency $260 million in fees that it owes (Reuters)

I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.

You know what to do….

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Here’s the report www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I've been waiting for this. Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window. It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

New in PN: Kristi Noem's assault on the Fourth Amendment "The Department of Homeland Security deliberately confuses reasonable suspicion and probable cause in hopes that no one will notice that ICE and CBP are making illegal arrests as standard operating procedure."

Precisely.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

The regime is threatening our allies. They’re investigating victims instead of perpetrators. They’re occupying our cities and robbing our country blind. The right leader should be able to unify the party and get some moderates from across the aisle to stop him. Chuck Schumer is not that leader.

. @schumer.senate.gov is absolutely failing and needs to be replaced NOW. @klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov

History will judge Chuck Schumer as entirely ill-equipped for this moment. I try my best to see the good in our party leaders because I understand we're in uncharted territory, but it is beyond obvious he's the wrong person for the job.

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Everyone needs to read this!

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic. We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.” And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

Heart-wrenching read And it‘s hard to know whether 16.5-18k dead is accurate, but this is another data point suggesting the death toll is likely many thousands

My new album, ICE WORLD, is out! It’ll show up on streaming platforms in a few minutes, but this thread has some full sample tracks. This is a winter album about the winter of American democracy—a season whose villain is ICE and those directing it. The album opener leads off with Nazi brownshirts:

1/ The second track on the album is already the subject of controversy. YouTube refused to publish it under its correct track title, which is “Fuck ICE.” So instead it chose a different track on the LP and gave “Fuck ICE” a repeat title. It’s needless censorship—but I think you’ll like the song.

Yes!

Dems should be making hay of this!

Abigail Spanberger was told to throw trans youth under the bus during her campaign. She refused to do so. She won the election by 15 percent. A dominant victory. A landslide. She was just sworn-in as the 75th Governor of Virginia, the first woman to lead the state.

“The President of the United States is a criminal. He’s not just a convicted criminal. He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th. He is running the government like a mob operation.“

Of course.

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.

Trump thugs are killing, brutalizing, and torturing American citizens. That is not an “immigration crackdown.” It’s domestic repression and occupation.

Trump Pentagon chief busted breaking Pentagon policy to insult Mark Kelly

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

Ironic that the Trump administration will strike Iran for killing and maiming protesters, while his administration does exactly the same in Minnesota and other states.

This is a big no-no in armed combat. It’s like dressing up as a doctor or a nurse and then shooting someone. If this is proven accurate, it’s 100% a war crime.

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.

We need to get the word out on voting tricks Republicans might try. Some Republicans will claim to be Dems and will then change their affiliation to Repub. after they win. We shouldn't just flip the Dem lever but we should go in and make sure each candidate is vetted and endorsed but trusted Dems.

OMG😵‍💫😱😡
