We need Nuremberg trials for the people of ICE, for the people who are committing crimes against humanity here in our country. I refuse to call them law enforcement. They are destroying the fabric of our country. - New York City Council Member Chi Ossé www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

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.

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

Media keeps describing Pretti as a “protester” - “why bring a gun to a protest” - but he was something much more akin to a community-based first responder for ICE sightings. He likely wasn’t expecting to get beaten in the street by them or have any violent encounter. Just observe and alert.

We have citizen patrols checking empty cars like this for children and animals that were left behind in the negative temps because that’s where we are at as a society.

This is so fucking haunting.

-11ºF (-23.9ºC) and the good people of Minneapolis are still peacefully protesting. Thank you for continuing to speak truth to power.

“Figures like Bovino are resorting to tried-and-tested models. He stands out from this thuggish mob, just as an elegant SS officer stands out from the rowdy SA mob. The dashing undercut is also spot on; all that’s missing for the perfect cosplay is a monocle.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

minnesota coming together to show us all how to stand up against ICE is such a beautiful display of what solidarity looks like

It’s not quite as cold as MN right now, but NYC just turned out a massive protest in solidarity in plunging temps, heading up 6th ave.

Minneapolis says no to ICE.

This is a list of businesses across Minnesota that are closing tomorrow in solidarity with the economic shutdown. Huge thanks to every one of them for stepping up. If your business is also closing, drop it below.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Local journalism may save us.

Primary ALL of them. Supporting violent, masked state police is inexcusable, especially after all the videos have shown them to be domestic terrorists who constantly ride roughshod over both people and the Constitution.

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Carney at Davos: "And this aphorism of Thucydides is presented as inevitable, as the natural logic of international relations reasserting itself." Trump at Davos:

Translation: NATO told him to get fucked on Greenland. Now he’s going to try to sell putting the Golden Dome (which we were already going to do) in Greenland as a win.

Greenland, Iceland, what's the difference

The only thing more pathetic than thinking you’re Trump’s ally is thinking that he won’t throw you under the bus next. You will not defeat Trump with appeals to the rule of law or being nice. He doesn’t care about those things. You defeat him like you do any bully: by punching back.

this is good more cops saying stuff like this please

The leader of one of our closest allies basically just said "fuck USA"

The Guardian had a rundown of Trump's late night Truth Social binge, which included "an AI generated visual of himself planting the US flag on Greenland." www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

📌Mamdani is a generational political talent, because he has vision, and is not afraid to speak truth to power, and stand up for what is most certainly good and right. You can do that when you don't come off as scripted, boring phonies, who are worried about offending donors, Hakeem and Chuck.

She makes excellent points about the US' traditional treatment of indigenous people.

Trump is trying to end NATO. The chief beneficiaries of the end of NATO would be Putin's Russia and Xi's China, not the American people. He will line his pockets, feed his ego and his delusions, and MAGA will stupidly cheer as American power evaporates and the Country burns. God damn them!

6-6 6: Still, even under an optimistic scenario of countervailing pressures and Trump quietly climbing down, it's going to be incredibly hard for Europeans to trust the United States again.

1-6 My hot take on Trump's tariffs against European countries: 1: they constitute economic aggression in order to acquire territory. Europeans will remember this for decades to come. They mean very serious damage to the transatlantic bond on all time horizons.

What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin. “No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.” EVERYTHING has changed.
