Cat wandered in front of the camera during the #aurora long exposure

Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life to advocating tirelessly for the justice and equality of Black Americans and resisting elected leaders’ deliberate abuse and neglect of our communities. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.

In Louisiana, an ICE officer named David Courvelle has pleaded guilty on charges related to his monthslong sexual abuse of a Nicaraguan woman held in a detention center. www.wbrz.com/news/contrac...

Bernice King: "We saw this danger in the tragic killing of Renee Nicole Good. Her death was not just a physical tragedy, it was a moral indictment, a spiritual alarm, a prophetic sign that good is being crucified in our midst. We refuse to let the world normalize the killing of Good."

"The broader research consensus is clear: Housing First works extremely well for the population it serves. What it cannot do is counteract years of rising rents, stagnating wages, catastrophic shortages of affordable housing, and the collapse of political will to end homelessness."

I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE

We’re in a moral fight, and Democrats in Congress need to start acting like the opposition party on every 👏🏽 damn 👏🏽 thing 👏🏽 Opposition isn’t about polite press releases and sad cable hits. It’s about using every procedural tool available to slow, expose, and force accountability. 🧵

Seeing a lot of (correct) statements that "US Citizens" shouldn't be treated this way. While it is important and troubling that ICE is seemingly unconcerned with citizenship, consider replacing "US Citizens" with "people" if it doesn't affect your meaning. People shouldn't be treated this way.

In a country with an actual free press, the photo of that poor old man would be the cover of every single paper with a headline that reads ENOUGH.

OMFG! lolsob "'One ICE agent said if we let you see your clients, we would have to let all the attorneys see their clients, and imagine the chaos,' said another attorney who asked not to be named."

"Graham, a 34-year old Greensboro, North Carolina police officer, is the seventh instance ProPublica has investigated in which a pregnant woman in a state that significantly restricted abortion died after she was unable to access standard care..." www.propublica.org/article/nort...

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

"The money is there. The U.S. currently spends four times more on housing benefits for the wealthy than the poor ... Even during the Democratic Biden–Harris administration, we spent twice as much money on Trump's Space Force as we did on public housing."

"Since 2020, more than 100 rural hospitals across the nation have stopped delivering babies ... Closures have left many families traveling an hour or more to receive prenatal care, and can worsen maternal mortality rates."

Senator Tina Smith says that she has received reports that another person died in ICE custody today. If true, it would mark the 7th ICE detention death of 2026 and the second public reporting today. It is only January 18th.

Cassie prefers ice that brings neighbors together to go sledding and build snowmen, rather than to prevent the federal government from doing kidnappings and murder.

It should go without saying, but you cannot defeat a fascist movement by accepting, validating, and even celebrating its core assumptions, mythologies, and logics. All people of good will must stand up and insist: 2+2=4. www.youtube.com/watch?v=trck...

A third immigrant held at Camp East Montana has died, reportedly by suicide. Victor Manuel Díaz was detained in Minnesota. He is the sixth migrant to die since Jan. 1 in ICE detention. My story: www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

Choice A: Take a moral, popular stance, energize your base, and win over independents who are overwhelmingly turning away from Trump. Choice B: Stay silent as a rogue agency murders people and the military waits to see if they're being sent to fight Minnesotans blowing whistles or invade Greenland.

For crying out loud folks, you’re either for the brutalization of immigrants and the communities where they live, or you’re against it. There are a lot of issues that have shades of grey. This is NOT one of them. If you can’t stand up for the safety of others, get out of the damn way.

Incredibly emotional to hear my poem has been turned into a song of resistance and is being sung in Minneapolis right now. Please do not give up.

“In Florida’s Polk County School District — where Gaggle flagged some 500 students over four years — this meant that at least 72 kids so far have been arrested or hospitalized involuntarily under the state’s Baker Act.”

fwiw these are unionized hotels and their local sent a formal request to employers not to accept ICE bookings or allow ICE to use their facilities www.facebook.com/share/p/1aV9...

Two protesters have been blinded by so-called “less-lethal” munitions deployed by federal officers during an anti-ICE protest last week in Santa Ana, California.

It is odd to see people in the US starting to accept what public defenders have been warning of for years: law enforcement is not actually bound by the law, they rarely face consequences (even for murder), and funding a police state instead of a society where basic needs are met was a bad idea.

Today I was Kidnapped By ICE - Dawokefarmer

Every pedestrian in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco and Portland has come closer to being run over by a car than that ICE agent in Mpls. None of them would have been legally justified in shooting the motorist.

We have unlimited money for paramilitary forces that kidnap people off the streets but also have something called "school lunch debt" what are we doing here

If these soldiers are actually deployed and carry out unlawful orders, how long until @tomsuozzi.bsky.social and 70+ other Dems vote in favor of a resolution expressing gratitude to the 11th Airborne Division for "protecting the homeland" from *checks notes* the people of Minnesota?

This is a Trump+8 county led by a Republican county executive.

Stay close to anything that makes you glad to be alive

“Yes I threw my Leica” what a line for a brave photo journalist

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

Please share this! I sent a version of these stories (before this was published today) to a non-Minnesota work network, w donation links, & asked people to share what’s happening Just got an email from someone who sent it to her mom, who sent it to her church, where it‘s inspiring resistance plans

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

They nearly killed this woman. Then they went on national TV and tried to smear her.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

oh shit this sounds cool. queer & BIPOC writers encouraged to apply btw feels like a job for the great @yoshiyoshitani.bsky.social tbh

This also contributes to the criminalization of marginalized and vulnerable people, and the overfunding/militarization of law enforcement in the US. Too often, "public safety" is a euphemism for middle/upper class comfort. Conflating danger and discomfort does a lot of harm.

A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:

'Tough break with your Aunt and Uncle, but they should have complied with the Stormtroopers'

Something I wrote in my column today and want to reiterate is that all these anti-ICE operations are manifestations of local civic health

As you talk about Greenland, please make sure you are talking about the >56,000 Inuit who have called the Island their home for thousands of years. Here are 2 stories that include their voices, concerns, and hopes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... canadiangeographic.ca/articles/buy...

Sorry for the length, but this is important. The Trump administration is spreading more lies in an attempt to gain access to your data. Fraud is being used as the justification, but no public evidence has been presented showing new, widespread fraud in the five

“Texas prison officials placed the incarcerated woman who cared for the cat into solitary confinement — despite the fact that she did not organize the fundraiser or receive any of the money” thebarbedwire.com/2026/01/15/p...

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

Fun fact! We could be using the $75 billion allocated for ICE on literally anything else! Like essential services that help people exist! It’s almost as if these issues + our priorities have a lot of overlap! Also people definitely can’t afford things if they get shot in the face!

Good night, everyone. It feels like our so-called "leaders" have all but abandoned us, but we still have each other. I didn't know what else to do, so I made a little painting. Stay safe out there 💛
