I have bad news to tell ICE about Maine and Boston in January

I have a mostly unused refurbuished Chromebook that still has 75% charge and it very honestly hasn't been charged since September or October. I don't want to plug it in and ruin it

As we continue to trudge through the current moment I think it's important to find ways to hold Elon Musk accountable for X's role in fomenting this moment. Everything the Fed Gov does is channeled & deliberately exacerbated through X. And nearly all of it wouldn't be on the platform 5 years ago

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

BREAKING: turns out that armed government agents cause internal bleeding for approximately 100,000 Americans each year

Trump to Reuters about the midterm elections: "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election." www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

What a great example of "laws that seem straightforward but would be awful in practice" www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2026... #nhpolitics

Breaking by who?

I'm mind-boggled that there's 6,000 dots in this picture

GOP lawmaker said trans people “harm” children. Now he’s going to prison for child porn.

And there it is. All your fault, Minnesota, that there will be no midterm elections....

The lies I was talking about:

Looks like a warehouse to house detained immigrants has been chosen in my town of Merrimack NH Apparently there was a site visit two days ago and people are reporting truck traffic to an empty warehouse. God damn it.

Yeah it's called being an American, bitch. Smugness towards authority is our founding trait.

In order to navigate the next chapter of American history, we will need to be genuinely interested in focusing on successive incremental wins instead of defeatist and inaccurate cynicism. We can't fix everything at once. But we can make lasting change. Make your choice

we should want to make it undeniable that there is no choice but to end ICE, prosecute its officers for lawbreaking, and fundamentally rethink immigration enforcement.

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

In Minneapolis

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

Cops say ICE account of shooting conflicts with results of investigation. "The ICE spokesperson said agents fired their weapons in self-defense, hitting the driver. ....the spokesperson said another individual, Solomon Antonio Serrano-Esquivel, ‘was in the passenger seat’." wjla.com/news/local/i...

I am *still* seeing posts like this, and I very genuinely don't understand the purpose

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

This is bait. Must be bait

Remember that JD Vance is arguing that federal agents with less than two months of training should enjoy unlimited unqualified immunity up to and including murder

Time and time and time and time again, Big Tech fails to understand that people do not like it when their experience is controlled by excessive curation and/or algorithms www.cnbc.com/2026/01/11/w...

If 1) it wouldn't temporarily ruin her life, and 2) it wouldn't (very slightly) trivialize the prize in service of (very satisfying) politics, I would more seriously advocate for Ilhan Omar's consideration for the Nobel Peace Prize next year

Man it's so intellectually weak to still be using "the country celebrated Luigi Mangione" as if it's a blanket statement of simple truth

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.

After 30 years in prison and 25 years on Louisiana's death row, Chris Duncan walked out of Angola today a free man. "I'm cruising down a highway," he texted me. "Most glaring emotion is shock."

“US citizens should leave Venezuela immediately” … Checking in on the country President Trump executed a coup against a week ago

Cell phone footage shows that Renee Good tried to drive away from the ICE agent who shot her. But an AI video shows Good pledging allegiance to ISIS before plowing her car into a crowd of blonde Christian children. For busy presidents of the United States, it can be hard to know what to trust.

Man, I just don't have the words for how much I admire Ilhan Omar. Years of the most vitriolic abuse sent directly her way have culminated in the worst constitutional crisis in modern history. And she continues to serve openly and on the street. No better American.

If you had predicted with precise accuracy any of our current top stories this week during the ‘24 election, it would have been dismissed as Trump Derangement Syndrome by most of the professional takesmiths.

do you guys hear that bell tolling? wonder who it’s for. it’s so loud lmao

A friend of mine cooked up a flag to show support for strong municipal services and this feels like the perfect emblem of the Mamdani Moment. I absolutely love it.

This is a death threat

Genuinely - why are Trump's eyes, like, changing angles as he gets older? It's like the 63rd most disturbing development of his presidency

President Trump humiliated himself Friday when Secretary of State Marco Rubio tried to slyly pass him a note during a meeting with oil executives, and he immediately read it aloud. Marco just gave me a note. ‘Go back to Chevron, they want to discuss something,’” Trump read. trib.al/lOv9Fso

Trump: “We are not going to let Russia or China occupy Greenland — because that’s exactly what they would do if we didn’t act. “So we are going to do something with Greenland, either the nice way or the more difficult way.”

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.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

I can't think of a more obvious sign that "this system doesn't really work" than "the world's richest man is entirely focused on running a child porn app and obfuscating blame for it"

I'm guessing this is the episode:

Online "prediction markets" are the latest scam to fleece the public. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/09/o...

Looks like it is actually on YouTube, so just for academic purposes and the sake of completeness:

BREAKING: JD Vance's diaper has just been soiled and he is NOT letting the white house staff change him. He's reportedly running around their legs giggling but gets mad and screams NO when someone tries to grab him. This is a developing story

Timberwolves hold a moment of silence for Renee Nicole Good

Is your dumb ass really asking why someone would try to drive away from a platoon of masked, Full Metal Jacket lookin' wockaflockas, stompin' into neighborhoods, breaking down doors and windows, draggin' men, women and children away with "absolute immunity"?
