"Wait!" Chuckled ol' JD, "It's OK for me to say that because I'm pretending I don't know what the phrase "according to" means, and I'm also pretending that "U.S officials" don't lie almost a 100% of the time. So no "gotchaing me" in the next few days when this absurd, obvious lie is exposed, kay?"

Oh, look! An imaginary car ramming caused imaginary internal injuries. Who knew!

Trump sent ICE to make America bow, but we kneel to #NoKings. Join us nationwide on January 20 to WALK OUT on fascism and demand #ICEOUTforGood: bit.ly/findawalkout

This. If trump thought he could declare martial law or invoke the Insurrection act without risking public dissent from very high up members of the military he would have done it already. Whats stopping him? Why hasn't he done it yet? He clearly thinks theres enough cause to. Call. His. Bluff.

#ProudBlue Minneapolis is Chicago on steroids. As expected, the orange overlord is using the chaos HE’S DIRECTING as an excuse for martial law. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Bluster all you like, we're going to take Congress from you www.liberalcurrents.com/we-are-going...

They failed to both assign accountability for systemic, catastrophic failures to prepare our nation for an authoritarian assault on American institutions & democracy, and to light the way forward for what must be done by a Congress and presidency committed to strengthening our union in the future.

HUGE props to that UAW member who stood strong then & stands as strong or stronger now that he's been suspended... says he does NOT regret his words not one bit! Bravo! Kudos! I bow to you!

Yup

This SHOULD clear it up for anyone thinking he doesn't want to be a dictator.

Minneapolis labor, faith, and community leads have joined to call for a general strike on Friday, Jan 23rd - no work, no school, and no shopping! They are demanding ICE out of MN, justice for Renee Nicole Good, and an end to all ICE terror.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche calls what is happening in Minneapolis an “insurrection” and threatens to go after Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey over their “terrorism.”

Protester: This is nuts. What the fuck is going on, dude? This is insane. They tell you it's immigrants, only immigrants. It's fucking anybody. I have friends that got detained and all they were doing was fucking driving home from work. What the fuck?

ICE is using hexachloroethane gas on protesters. It is banned as a lethal chemical asphyxiation agent by the Geneva Convention, but the trump administration has been using it on civilians and argued that a “foreign convention” doesn’t apply to US citizens.

Why do ICE agents carry guns? Not one single report of them being shot at!! Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!! Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.

The c***sucker in chief says the level of violence that now exists in Minnesota is enough to invoke the Insurrection Act, so he can declare Martial Law, so he can cancel elections. The violence created by ICE! A simple plan from a simple douche.

SCOOP: Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground. Inside the app called ELITE—what ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid.

Tim Miller gives his take on a wave of disturbing ICE confrontations, including Minneapolis agents threatening civilians and a California protester who was shot in the face and left blind by Trump’s Gestapo Goon Squad.

www.semafor.com/article/01/1... #ProudBlue. Donald Trump has opened an offshore bank account in Qatar that only he has access to. The first deposit is $500 million in Venezuela oil revenue. This is the ultimate Trump grift. Half a billion dollars in stolen oil revenue in a Trump owned account.

It's 25 days past the deadline to release the Epstein files.

New Pew Study on Trust in Science. Short answer: about the same as its been, with a bit of extra concern among Democrats about scientific leadership, clearly based on recent events. www.statnews.com/2026/01/15/a...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zas... #FarronBalanced has got some words for Roidgan.

A year ago, I feared Mexico would be Trump’s first target for aggression. Now it will be part of his Trump World War. Yesterday, he slashed about $2 billion in addiction and mental health grants. He doesn’t give a shit about overdoses. See: www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

“We do not accept an intervention by any foreign government. I’ve told him on the phone. I’ve said it with the State Dept, with Marco Rubio,” she insisted before adding that Mexico is open to further intelligence sharing & working together w/the US military to fight back against the drug cartels.“

The FBI raided the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson this week. Free speech expert @jameeljaffer.bsky.social says “it's hard not to see it as an effort to intimidate not just journalists, but their sources.”

It's extraordinarily rare for a political event to break through to such a widespread degree as this. Dems should seize on it! This is resonating big time in exactly the info spaces that Dems struggle to reach, as I try to argue in this piece:

Fuck the Minnesota Police. Crowds throwing fireworks? How about ICE throwing flash bangs! Again, you can’t be pro-cop and anti-ice at this point. THEY ARE NOT PROTECTING YOU.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

We don't need people like Bari Weiss connected with control of the news. We need REAL journalism, REAL REPORTING.

Guess what Trump. You’re gonna lose. I guarantee it you big pussy

BREAKING: Dan Ceisler, the new sheriff of Pennsylvania's Bucks County, just announced he has terminated his county's 287(g) contract with ICE. Ceisler defeated GOP sheriff who'd joined the ICE program in November, & ran on quitting it; we reported then:

What happened in Nazi Germany is happening right now in Trump’s US. 10 lies Germans were told are now being told to Americans. Vid: mdbglobalmom on Instagram

McGuire’s critique is fundamentally correct Allowing Nvidia H200 sales to China while acknowledging AI chips are a national-security risk is not “pragmatism” — it’s strategic incoherence.

That was already the plan. Create chaos. Invoke insurrection act. Interfere in the midterms.

The President encourages the Iranian people to protest while threatening us with the Insurrection Act. We are already there folks. He sent ICE & CBP to occupy Minneapolis. An American city is under attack from our government! This military occupation must stop 🛑. Senate & House SHUT TF DOWN NOW!!!!

"Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground." werd.io/elite-the-pa...

And here it is! Trump made up a Somali scandal so he could send ICE agents to serve as agitators, then blame US citizens for being the agitators so he could declare Martial Law and treat every American as a threat. Democracy is teetering on the brink, y'all. #ice #Minneapolis #proudblue #resist

Rep. Garbarino: "What really bothers me is how comfortable people in this country have become to not listen to law enforcement. When a cop tells me not to do something, I don't do it. That should be the normal way things go."

“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.” – President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)

substack.com/@marciej/not.... It starts in a RACIST HOME AND ENVIROMENT 👇🏻👀💩🦇🛑🤬😡

Watch it be the ACA subsidies extension dressed up w/ Trump’s name on it.

I came here to say just that. “You’ll all be dead soon so health care won’t be necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter. DJT.”

Transferring the population into credit/debt to pay for their price increases. We are not distracted. Some of us avoid credit/debts, so the scam sticks out like a sore thumb
