Tyrants have always tried to emerge on the earth. But they have never carried mankind forward, always backwards. It is the good, the human care one toward another, this is what makes life worth living. Tyrants fall, but human care and kindness remain, they outlive and are greater than all tyrants.

Xantiles (saints) were native to the Mixteca Baja region (Oaxaca- Puebla). They are molded clay polychrome sculptures of seated figures, mostly male deities. Xantiles were found in the corners or under the floors in houses. The sculptures were intentionally buried to hide them from the evangelists.

Maybe its time for the International Criminal Court to declare Trump a war criminal. He's been encouraging violence against any who don't support him. His regime is akin to every 3rd world dictator. How many of us does he get to kill before it matters?

This should go without saying, but apparently it does. What officials say happened is not the news. What actually happened is the story. And headlines should reflect the truth as you can verify it, not the official lie.

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...

Now they’ve shot and killed Alex Pretti, a white man and VA nurse. ICE are slandering him too. Blaming him. Trying to paint him as the threat. But it’s not working. The general public are waking up. They’re refusing to ignore the evidence of their own eyes and ears.

There was significantly more media attention around Renee Nicole Good’s murder, but she was also marginalized. DHS and MAGA played up the fact that she was a queer woman, and tried to use the public’s bigotry to get them to ignore the fact that she was murdered in broad daylight.

Understand that 370 days ago even bringing a motion like this would probably have been treated as sanctionably frivolous Today it was granted ex parte

They are particularly disorienting because they are the precise opposite of the truth.

ICE is no longer a border patrol and customs agency. It is Trumps political police force staffed with insurrectionists and acting way outside its legal and statutory bounds. They are murdering peaceful protestors and lying to our faces.

Hey, does anyone know of a document that lays out what to do if a ruler quarters large bodies of armed troops among us, protects them for any murders which they should commit on us, abdicates government by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us?

The killing happened about 15 hours ago. Since then: - MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (FBI equivalent) got a warrant for the evidence on the scene - Tried to execute it - Were forcibly turned away by feds - Filed for a temporary restraining order - TRO granted by the federal district court

The nurses are pissed

Driving all over Minneapolis tonight and encountering dozens of vigils — either people gathering with candles to mourn the murder of Alex Pretti, or candles left to burn in mounds of snow.

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Since @peoplemag.bsky.social is doing such a good job covering this with honesty & the humanity it deserves in spite of this vengeful regime trying to snuff it out, here’s the links to their articles. Give them all the clicks—they earned it.

All decent people are enraged.

Trump lies are not quite the same as other lies. They are THE TRUTH ABOUT AN ALTERNATE REALITY. When Leavitt or Noem makes a statement, she’s not saying what is true. She’s saying what conforms to an unreal projection of the president’s preferred beliefs, agreed upon by consensus among his people.

I’m a big fan of civilization. Rule of law, public health, universities, science, all good things. Great stuff. It may not be ‘politically correct’ to say this but I’m also a fan of what civilizations have done to idiot barbarian hordes who attempted to trample on those things.

The lies are the point. The lack of investigation is the point. Gaslighting us about videos we've all seen is the point. Disobeying courts is the point. Falsely calling protesters domestic terrorists is the point. You've never wanted anything as much as Donald Trump wants a civil war.

America simply cannot go on as a country where thugs hired by the federal govt occupy and terrorize communities - attacking, abducting and killing civilians - and the govt then lies about the atrocities, defends the killers and vilifies the citizenry. Impeach and remove the entire Trump regime now.

And our tax dollars pay for it all.

This week, Trump will bomb someone, impose a ridiculous tariff, make some crazy announcements - do anything he can to divert attention away from this outrage. He wants the public to move on and forget this as so many have done with his past crimes and transgressions. Don’t let him.

If you need a little time off from the latest atrocities, Kilauea is off the chain right now www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXKu...

We are seeing ordinary citizens — a children’s face painter and a doctor — come forth with sworn affidavits to describe the killing of the Minneapolis nurse. In case you were wondering what courage looks like. Links threaded below

I have been warning for weeks the administration will do anything to get these records. They want to rig the midterms 🚨“The letter adds the state’s unwillingness to share voting data to a litany of grievances the Trump administration has leveled against Minnesota.”🚨

Text of the video posted by Mac Randolph “Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point.”

"For Quartering large bodies of troops among us: For protecting them ... from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States." US Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.

"He has ... sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people ... He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power." 1/

John Mitnick helped establish DHS originally and worked for Trump during his first term. Some of the news is breaking through.

California—the world's 4th largest economy—is joining the World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network. Governor Gavin Newsom says the new alliance marks Calif's 1st formal partnership w/ WHO. It's also the latest move to cast Calif as a counterweight to the Trump regime👇

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

This piece by M. Gessen should have been co-signed by the entire NYT editorial board. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

That Orwell fella was a right pie in the sky optimist.

Let a jury of their peers decide. It's not up to Homeland Security or anyone else in the Republican Political Party. Republican Political Party has opted out of our social contracts. Civil rights. Civil, State and Federal Laws. They are not living in America on the same terms as the rest of us.

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

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."

All alone in my red neighborhood, but we will prevail! #SolidarityWithMinnesota

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Even as the National Guard is deployed in a perimeter around half my neighborhood to try to prevent ICE’s campaign of violence from boiling over, ICE continues to send lurking cars of armed feds on patrol around the city and stage shows of force around the region. Insane. Unthinkable
