Putin is laughing his ass off at destroying the US and Europe from within.

Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."

▪️Russia’s MoD says it struck Ukraine with a nuclear-capable intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) “Oreshnik,” alongside other weapons, targeting drone production and energy infrastructure.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

"Real" Law Enforcement reacts to the cold blooded shooting of Renee Good.

It’s ok for a reporter to shout out, “no sir, you lost Minnesota all three elections.”

Time is running out for the @wnba.com to pay the players what they owe them. Their contract expires TONIGHT. Without the players, there is no WNBA — and fair pay is LONG overdue. America’s unions stand in solidarity with the WNBPA players in this fight ✊

Minnesota officials renewed their calls on Friday for state agents to be allowed to help investigate the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE officer earlier this week. State investigators so far have been denied access to evidence, they said. trib.al/Iqy2KA4

He has completely lost his mind.

COLLINS: Minnesota officials say the FBI isn't sharing evidence with them. Do you believe the FBI should do that? TRUMP: Well normally I would, but they're crooked officials. Minneapolis and Minnesota are being destroyed. I feel that I won Minnesota all three times. I won Minnesota three times.

"Self-defense" my ass. Tennessee v. Garner says you can't shoot someone like Renee Nicole Good for fleeing if they're unarmed and no real threat is posed. This wasn't self-defense; it was cold-blooded murder by an ICE agent. But then again donald told law enforcement "do whatever the hell you want"

A good friend in Minneapolis tells me everyone there just assumes Trump is hoping for an excuse to impose martial law.

🚨BREAKING: A federal court blocked core provisions of President Donald Trump’s anti-voting executive order Friday, ruling that the president had no authority to impose new election rules that threatened to disenfranchise voters and override state law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Renée Good is one of at least nine people across the country who have been shot by immigration agents since September. There is something every case has in common: Everyone was in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.

@meiselasb.bsky.social reports on hell breaking loose in Minnesota as Trump’s invasion has backfired & the people of Minnesota are fed up & Meiselas speaks w/ @statuscoupnews.bsky.social reporter JT Cestkowski about his reporting from the frontlines & the exclusive footage he has captured.

🚨ICE agents act as SECURITY for right wing agitators, shooting pepper balls at protesters that attempt to walk in the same area as them. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Putin doesn’t want peace, Russia’s reply to diplomacy is more missiles and destruction. This deadly pattern of recurring major Russian strikes will repeat itself until we help Ukraine break it. (1/3)

🚨BREAKING: Nearly three weeks after the Department of Justice (DOJ) violated a new federal law by not releasing all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, two lawmakers now want the judiciary to step in. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

SHOCK CELL PHONE VIDEO: Renee Good's final words to her murderer: “That’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you.” ICE agent Jonathan Ross after shooting and killing her seconds later: “Fuckin’ bitch.” Via Alpha News

Watch the moment this Vietnam War Veteran confronts Federal ICE agents outside Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota. Powerful.

The WH wastes no time gaslighting the American people Several news outlets have posted video timelines to refute the WH's version of events Many Americans feel the same as Mayor Jacob Frey - "Get the f--k out of our city!" - @anntelnaes.bsky.social anntelnaes.substack.com/p/ice-shoots...

A bombshell new video shows that Good was not actually blocking ICE; instead, she waved for the agents to “go around” her vehicle after dropping someone off. However, the agents swarmed, pulling on the doors and demanding she “get out of the fucking car!” trib.al/StJkKeI

Pope Leo XIV condemned the use of force by world leaders ... "War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading ... The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined."

This was a major initiative from the Biden White House, based in the idea of getting together all the countries with a stake in this crisis. They pressured China to stop precursor chemicals, hit hard at the capital funding for production in Mexico, and funded Narcan in the U.S. It apparently worked.

"On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns."

Insanity, yes, but also Psyops They're dismantling our shared reality It is the White House the country looked to in moments of crisis, it is what we understood to be at the center of our power But now u won't be able to picture it in your mind. When u see it u will look away In confusion & despair

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

Remember when Presidents did national speeches for emergencies or times where a nation needs to hear from their leader? This angry old man is literally screaming and clearly panicking

"'If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient,' Ms. Alfonsi wrote." {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

"Quit demonstrating" is not something that a pro-democracy politician says. It's something that an authoritarian tool says.

Jimmy Kimmel dug up a video of Stephen Miller in high school. He’s always been a complete asshole.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez: "Many of our immigrants neighbors are picked up simply by moving their cars. Help your neighbors take out the trash, because there are many reports of neighbors being kidnapped when they're taking their trash out."

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

"He has done what he always manages to do, which is to change the subject through a fundamental reordering of the narrative of the drama that we're living in ...The thing about Epstein and we might trust this is that it never goes away," Wolff said. "It always comes back."

Homeland Security is sending masked, armed goon squads to our neighborhoods to terrorize us. Professional training is not a priority, as this video shows. A willingness to hurt people is the main qualification.

The jobs report is in. What a disaster.

From the episode; "there’s certainly a risk that the president would attempt to deploy troops around the time of an election on the theory that people are less likely to come out and vote if they think that the streets are gonna be full of heavily armed, federal law enforcement or military troops"

In the new season of Autocracy in America, I will ask how the Trump White House is rewriting the rules of US politics. First episode: How ICE and the National Guard are being used not just to enforce immigration, but to project power open.spotify.com/episode/4Baj...

"Kristi Noem insisted that Good was part of 'coordinated' effort to commit 'domestic terrorism.' "This from someone who wrote a book in which she described shooting a trusting puppy in the head as practically an act of self-defense." www.salon.com/2026/01/09/i...

Not a surprise that these "tough guys" immediately went after a high school after shooting a mom in an SUV. They are the biggest fucking cowards. They can only punch down. They go after unarmed moms, teenagers, elderly people. Beneath contempt. www.salon.com/2026/01/09/i...

I've been planning to write for a long time about how ICE and their allies sure are a bunch of whiny bitches, for all they talk about how tough they are. I'm sad that this is the occasion. But by god, these "tough" guys are pathetic cowards. www.salon.com/2026/01/09/i...

Half the comments are “based” and right now more than ever I’m praying for Dead Internet Theory to be true because holy shit this mentality is gonna fuck all of us.

Trump has withdrawn the United States from dozens of international organizations cutting ties that address international security, law, trade, climate, economics and human rights. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

Fuckin' A right, Ann.

THIS 👇 IS TRUE....

Hey JD Vance obviously you have tons of time now, maybe once try to actually do something positive?
