“.. This list should give pause to anyone — no matter his or her political beliefs — who cares about the rule of law,” Judge Schiltz added. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

Trump (who inherited tens of millions yet has declared bankruptcy four times): “People who can’t afford to buy a home are just lazy so they don’t deserve government help.”

great headline (and decision)

JD Vance Places Candle Outside Hooters Where ICE Agents Were Heckled

It is wild to me that a military incursion to steal another country’s resources so the president can have a personal slush fund in Qatar is like the 5th most scandalous thing currently happening.

Illegal in so many ways.

What’s the point of legislative reforms when (1) the administration refuses to follow the law and (2) the Supreme Court‘s obedient majority consistently prevents lower courts from enforcing the law against the administration? Seems masturbatory.

The type of dinosaur allegedly used in the attack remains unclear.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

Good for her. It isn’t every day you get the chance to tell a SCOTUS justice that he’s full of shit.

Happy large boulder the size of a small boulder day for all who celebrate

NEW: "Minnesota's chief federal judge has demanded the acting head of ICE personally appear in court Friday to explain what the judge described as repeated failures to comply with dozens of court orders amid its enforcement efforts in the state." 👇

ICYMI: I looked through a published archive of Boston newspapers from the 1760s, when British troops were stationed in the city. The accounts read remarkably similar to what's happening in Minneapolis. radleybalko.substack.com/p/two-cities...

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

Senate Dems Finally Realized They Shouldn’t Fund ICE. It Only Took a Second Murder Trump’s agents murdered Alex Pretti on Saturday. Now, Republicans have lost the votes they need to expand ICE’s budget, @andrewperez.bsky.social and @premthakker.bsky.social report. Read: zeteo.com/p/senate-dem...

“appears to contradict statements by” Try “proves statements are not true” Or “shows agents murdered”

[stares directly into the camera]

Here’s your guidance: stop using it to generate legal documents. Instead, do your job.

I keep saying it because it keeps being true: these are counterinsurgency tactics. This isn't law enforcement, it's warfare

Is it really a “clash over the facts”?

“A regime based on terror…deploys violence precisely to reinforce the message that anyone can be subjected to it.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor: "Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Here’s TMZ with a headline every outlet that cares about the truth should have. www.tmz.com/2026/01/24/n...

How about “racist lying murdering asshole”? Are there consequences for that, Gruppenfuhrer?

Neither victim was suspected of anything. Neither was breaking any laws. Both were murdered.

Curious why ICE and CBP agents are so brutal? Here's a useful explainer I wrote last week, before Saturday's outrageous murder, about how uniquely unsuited ICE and CBP are for this moment—and why they were so corruptible into Trump's own fascist secret police: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

This man is part of the agency that is leading the federal "investigation."⬇️ This stuff is even beyond George Orwell's imagination: Bovino in short: I am not blaming the victims. The victims are the Border Patrol agents. Direct quote below.

A person who said they witnessed federal agents shoot and kill Alex Jeffrey Pretti submitted a sworn statement in court disputing the federal government’s account of the shooting. “I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong,” the person said in the statement.

ICE is lying, WSJ. Don’t pretend you don’t know that.

BREAKING: Judge Tostrud -- a Trump appointee — has quickly granted a restraining order, barring the administration from "destroying or altering evidence" taken from today's shooting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Minnesota can, and should, move to indict the ICE agent who murdered Good when the courts open on Monday. And the ICE agents who murdered today. Further delay only increases the chances of more murder. www.patreon.com/posts/147769...

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

These are frames that look to be proof that the guy was disarmed before the shots were fired. #iceshooting

He was not “approaching them with a handgun” drawn as their lying statement suggests. The video shows they shot him *in the back* while he was *on his knees* with several agents around him and with their hands on him.

It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like: 1) They were beating a struggling man with batons 2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back 3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away 4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back

national strike to support this guy, specifically

"The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. ... "Next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

the normal thing that the state authorities can do if they do not want civilians deciding to try to retaliate us to charge those who commit murder, even if they are feds, and force the federal government to defend withholding them in court, which they will likely lose
