Froze my ass off at the Iowa City anti-ICE rally, but it was worth it

I don’t see how this country survives until 2029 unless Trump is impeached and removed. This level of lawless malice is not sustainable. What fresh horrors await us this week?

BREAKING: ICE agents pepper-spray peaceful demonstrators and journalists and deploy chemical irritants in Minneapolis. Our partners @statuscoupnews.bsky.social captured the moment live on the ground as it happened.

With Trump going full authoritarian on Venezuela-Greenland, ICE, and the Fed, the response has to be serious. Four Republican senators (Tillis, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins?) could announce they’ll caucus for now with the Dems to give them control of the Senate to check Trump.

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates. DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore $12 million in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, saying the terminations appear to be retaliation for the group's view points re: vaccine safety/efficacy. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

@meidastouch - ICE Protester in Minneapolis: "My best friend, Lala Rios, got taken away for recording. Tied up like a hog! U.S. Citizen by the way, born and raised here."

Jesse Ventura speaks for all of us.

This is the way - United, Brave, Disciplined nonviolent resistance. Trump wants conflict - we'll give him resolve. Thru rigorous, strategic, nonviolent resistance, we'll grind down this admin of Inhumanity, Cruelty and Evil. We refuse to be governed by fear.

Trumpstein will continue to escalate his illegal activities and corruption to avoid dealing with the Trumpstein Files --> DON'T BE DISTRACTED

Trumpstein nightmare continues

Some countries that have prosecuted or threatened to prosecute central bankers for the purpose of political intimidation or punishment for monetary policy decisions: Argentina, Russia, Turkey, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

This is f*cked up! There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling. And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen. So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.

100% this!👇

Did ICE have a bring your child to work day?

I also must say that it's a bit rich that Trump and his DOJ think it's a good idea to gin up a bullshit investigation about supposed illegalities in ... {checks notes} … renovating a federal building

You know who else shot citizens in the street? Nazis. Have we had enough yet? #DefendersOfDemocracy @thedefofdemocracy.bsky.social

Pam Bondi is going to announce tomorrow that Jerome Powell tried to ram Donald Trump with his car

Hard to overstate what a remarkable statement this is from a Republican senator — even a retiring one — accusing thte Trump White House of weaponizing DOJ to control the Fed: "It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question."

Oh, I definitely will remember…

With Americans how having witnessed an unarmed Minnesota mom shot in the head 3 times, a photo of how the first regime called "fascist" ended may be less shocking than Mussolini's words: "Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”

ICE murdered a women today, in broad daylight. The entire administration of our child rapist president stood behind this pile of shit and said it was warranted. The video’s don’t lie. Have we had enough? Does a relative of yours need to be murdered? #DefendersOfDemocracy

🚨Trigger Warning🚨This video shows a cold blooded murderer shooting into the vehicle of the citizen in Minneapolis. Every distraction stated by this administration is false. The shooter needs to be identified, arrested, and charged with murder. Have we had enough yet? #DefendersOfDemocracy

Will be interesting to see who suddenly cares about the president’s weaponization of the Justice Department now that it might threaten their bottom line $$$

I want to remind everyone that the predators in the Trump-Epstein files that are still alive never stopped raping kids. That's not a thing. Release the Trump-Epstein files unredacted!

This NYC protester speaks for a lot of us 🔥 “It’s an injustice being done in my name… my tax dollars not to go feed people who need food, house people who need housing, even to actually have policing to keep actual criminals off the streets… ICE is… not going after the worst of the worst.”

Bari Weiss strikes again. Anderson Cooper's months-long 60 Minutes' investigation into the Trump administration's refusal to process refugees from South Africa is being stalled by Weiss bc it is "all but guaranteed to provoke Trump." #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy #BoycottCBS 🔗⬇️

I started thinking this when the decision was issued in 2000

Flashback Kamala Harris: “Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him.”

Incredible @statuscoupnews.bsky.social interview with Skye, who says she’s a Marine Corps vet and appears to have just been released from Whipple. She says she was trapped by ICE, yanked out of her car and stomped on. 1/2

In this clip from a longer interview, she says while she was in detention, agents called Renee Good a “lesbian b*tch.” This video belongs to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social and I’ll take it down if they want me to. 2/2

In Germany, a lot of houses have these Stolpersteines on their sidewalks or stoops. They’re a memorial to victims of the Holocaust who were ripped from that home. Some houses have a few. Other houses have many. ICE has started going door to door in America.

Congress! Enough is enough. Either you’ve pledged to honor & upload the constitution, or you have sworn fealty to a child rapist, sex trafficker, alleged child murderer, convicted felon & traitor. There is only one choice. Which is it? #DefendersOfDemocracy @thedefofdemocracy.bsky.social

Remember that one of Trump’s justifications for attacking Venezuela was its appropriation of assets in 2007 from ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips. So much for that!

#ResistanceUnited #DefendersOfDemocracy This past week in America was everything Kamala Harris tried to warn us about before the 2024 election 🧵

Wasn’t long ago when folks on the right lost their marbles over influencers (who leaned Dem) utilizing resources to help build their reach and refine their skills. Now MAGA influencers are being paid to recruit NAZI’s for ICE and spin facts about a woman being murdered. We are not the same.

Hate has never solved any world problems. ✋🏻🚫 “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. I have decided not to be reduced by any events, social or political, that aim to rob me of my dignity” — Maya Angelou #SheShed

Do you hear the people sing?✊️ Protesters sing in an incredibly powerful and haunting moment at Thursday's ICE protest/vigil for Renee Nicole Good in Philadelphia. #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy

Was not self defense. The videos, which are many, prove it. The state of Minnesota must arrest and charge this man with murder. They must or were lost. Have we had enough yet? #DefendersOfDemocracy @thedefofdemocracy.bsky.social

Holy shit! Watch this. A U-Haul truck plowed into demonstrators supporting Iranian protests in the Westwood area of L.A. The driver was caught and detained. Thank goodness no one was seriously injured, because this could have been catastrophic.

No one in Trump’s junk drawer deserves the benefit of the doubt. Neither does Trump.

Kristi Noem and DHS do not deserve the benefit of the doubt The Department of Homeland Security and its leader have an honesty problem — and the numbers prove it.

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.

Upcoming at the Kennedy Center. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Donald Trump is scared out of his mind that Republicans are going to lose the House in the midterms, if not sooner given how fast things are unraveling, which is why he’s accelerating his authoritarian and fascist plans at a pace we’ve never seen before. This isn’t confidence, it’s panic.

More bullshit at the Smithsonian. This is fascism. www.npr.org/2026/01/11/n...

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.
