While we throw up barriers and initiate trade wars and unnecessary diplomatic crises around the world, other countries and trading blocs continue to strengthen ties to hedge against an unreliable US partner. This is generational self-inflicted long-term damage.

2024: can Europe defend itself ALONGSIDE America? 2025: can Europe defend itself WITHOUT America? 2026: can Europe defend itself AGAINST America?

ICE again denies a delegation of three congresswomen access to inspect their Minnesota black site, and attacks the crowd that gathered to support them.

Now more than ever, we're a two timing, back stabbing, and disloyal nation without integrity.

Black folks and immigrants have long lived in a "perogative state" when it comes to law enforcement, and maybe pundits at the largest national outlets should recognize that their past support for punitive policing and immigration enforcement laid the groundwork for the current moment.

Scanning faces. Building databases. Fascism is here. 🇺🇸 And all the “tyranny” “don’t tread on me folks” are silent. Turns out they meant “tread on them” 🤷🏼

NEW EPISODE: One year into Donald Trump’s second term, I discuss the collapse of democratic guardrails as big law firms, legacy media, corporate elites, and government institutions capitulate, collaborate, or stay silent while democracy is under sustained attack. Watch and share.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

Hillary Clinton warned us. Kamala Harris warned us. Fiona Hill warned us. Marie Yovanovitch warned us. Black women warned us.

Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

Minnesota ICE agents tell a child that they will put a bullet in her head if she doesn't shut up. #cdnpoli

According to DHS, about 3,000 ICE and federal agents are operating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. THREE THOUSAND! The entire Minneapolis Police Department only has about 580 officers. This is outrageous and unnecessary. Our tax dollars are funding this abuse, so it’s happening in our name.

Selling pardons is a quintessential act of corruption. This is criminal behavior and should be prosecuted (which is why John Roberts’ heinous immunity decisions was such a disaster). We need 1) impeachment; 2) a new law authorizing criminal charges against lawless presidents; 3) a new Supreme Court.

Very curious what the long-term ripple effects of this ICE occupation will be. Many very privileged people have stepped up to prevent their own government from disappearing their non-white neighbors and have now confronted inequalities and social problems they never would have experienced firsthand.

Unbelievable

I will believe the revolution is at hand when everyone collectively figures out that Congress is the center of the government and starts relentlessly bugging the crap out of them until they yield or resign.

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

ICE agents would be permanently barred from becoming state or local cops in Illinois if a state politician gets her way. cwbchicago.com/2026/01/law-...

Important 🧵

Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness. Every Democratic leader. Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head. Every CEO. Every religious leader. If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.

Is any Democrat besides Jamie Raskin going to talk about Trump selling pardons for millions of dollars to some of the most disgusting fraudsters and drug dealers in history? Any one of these is an impeachable offense and there are new ones almost every day. He isn’t even hiding the quid-pro-quo.

This is so embarrassing. We expect Schumer to take on Trump when he can’t even take on Nutlick.

NEXT FRIDAY: Minnesotans are joining together for a statewide day of non-violent moral action and reflection. That means no work, no school, and no shopping — only community, conscience, and collective action. There will also be a peaceful march and rally in downtown Minneapolis: iceoutnowmn.com

Block instantly.

We have to get rid of Schumer and Jeffries. This is about saving our country now. They have to go.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

This is how it’s done. Total control. Not one shred of power sharing with Republicans.

Had to look it up

Public Art, Houston Street, NYC

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

Gestapo shit

BREAKING: A federal judge in Minnesota has just ordered restrictions on ICE's tactics against protesters including stopping cars that aren't obstructing them.

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce. As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies. This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.

Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.

And despite the polls, Trump being underwater, down double digits on every issue, and most Americans openly hating ICE, still...STILL....Democratic leadership is fine supporting and funding this institution.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Wow, they really are tracking down the most hardened criminals in America, even the bloodthirsty monsters who work at ... toy stores?

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime. www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...
