After the George Floyd protests, right-wingers needed something to counter demands from the largest protest movement in US history. Fortunately, they found a word that fueled their white backlash AND demonized anyone who supported police reform, equality or human decency. "Woke"

@kamalaharris.com told us exactly what would happen.

Pinning your hopes on police orgs breaking with ICE is not sound thinking. sherrilyn.substack.com/p/whether-it...

American democracy up against the wall. Watch. 2026 could be the end . . . of everything we know and love.

Thanks to Trump, Ohio farmers lost $76 MILLION in sales last year, ripping a hole in our state economy. Trump’s trade wars mean farmers are paying more and selling less. And the best Trump can do is offer inadequate relief packages. Pathetic. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/01...

These are not immigrants.

After killing Renee Good, ICE fascists in Minneapolis have now arrested and detained 4 members of Oglala Sioux Tribe. ICE HAS ARRESTED AND DETAINED INDIGENOUS AMERICANS. These ICE fascists are not here to keep us safe, but to advance white supremacy. Defund and abolish ICE permanently.

Yes.

Alaska officials gave false info to American Samoans, telling them they can vote. (They can’t, due to a unique status.) Now, the state is threatening them with years in prison, part of GOP’s voting fraud panic. @burness.bsky.social spent months reporting the story; spend some of your w-e with it.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

FIFA could prevent world war three tomorrow: tell Trump if he invades Greenland he’s losing the FIFA Peace Prize and the U.S. is out as World Cup Host.

I wrote about one of the many thoughts about Renee Good that’s been keeping me up at night https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/01/renee-good-killing-ice-watch-mom.html

“A crowd of hundreds also gathered at Ocean Beach in San Francisco to form a human banner spelling ‘IT WAS MURDER — ICE OUT.’” www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti... #ICEOutForGood

I’m at an anti-ICE protest in Encinitas, California. Protesters have gathered on both sides of 10 lanes of traffic. Hard to get more Californian than that.

NEW: A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from revoking lawful status of 10,000 people paroled into the country with “family reunification” status. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

JONATHAN ROSS THREAD: 🧵 I think a certain # of women have seen the video from Ross’s cellphone showing the taunts that led to Renee’s murder. And we feel in our bones that we’ve left immigration officer territory and entered domestic violence territory very quickly. Here’s why: 👇🧵

Hundreds of nurses, college faculty, teachers, school aides, bus drivers and labor union members march to a #IceOutforGood vigil in Portland, OR, to condemn the violent, unprecedented attacks on our communities, on our streets, in our schools and hospitals, everywhere.

“Whose streets? Our streets!” Protesters have shut down Columbus demanding the arrest of Johnathan Ross and ICE be abolished. #JusticeForGood #AbolishICE #RefuseFascism

👇👇👇

I’ve seen some understandably desperate hope that MPD or the National Guard would intervene to stop Trump’s thugs. It’s fantasy. Local law enforcement will not protect us from federal law enforcement. They’ll do this:

ice protest in #oakland tomorrow (Saturday) 6pm, lake merritt amphitheater. Spread the word 🔥

Here's the map after 24 hours of launch. Find your event or get one up here: www.mobilize.us/map/?tag_ids...

Vance believed this video would exonerate Ross for the same reason he would show a rape victim in a short skirt to exonerate the rapist. Republicans believe that women are the original sin & are responsible for the errors of men. Ross committed murder - but it’s a woman’s taunt that caused it. 👇🧵

He very last act is to turn the wheels away from the ICE officer.

Yes it is. Can’t put that back in the bottle.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Now I can look forward to seeing Washington National Opera again soon www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

These statements alone are more than enough for 25th Amendment removal from office due to disability and inability to perform duties. Not rhetorical hyperbole. The president is mad (crazy).

“We are not in a good place, and the feeling of it all at the start of a New Year is something like grief.” With this, Sherrilyn begins a text that reaches into the guts of this brutal Trump era. “We are near democratic collapse. It is time to demand more from each of us.”

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson: "There was a time that we could take [the federal government] at their word. That time has long passed. That is why we are calling on ICE to halt all operations in Portland until a full and independent investigation can take place."

House Oversight Democrats are demanding Oversight Republicans hold a hearing with Pam Bondi to examine the DOJ's "botched release" of the Epstein files. "Let's be clear: Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice are breaking the law every single day the Epstein files are kept from the public."

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

Sassy Sistah’ telling it like it is 👏🫶✊ #RepShontelBrown

Rep. Shontel Brown, ladies and gentlemen. 👏👏👏

Breaking on MS NOW: The House just PASSED Democrats' discharge petition for a three year extension on enhanced Obamacare subsidies, 230-196. 17 Republicans voted with Democrats.

Obstruction of justice by… the US Department of Justice

Congratulations to Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani for laying out not just a vision but a concrete roadmap for universal child care. A monumental win for New York families. Since 2000, the cost of child care has risen by more than 150 percent nationwide.

The architect of a new White House ballroom told a planning commission that the Trump administration was also considering a one-story addition to the West Colonnade to restore “symmetry” around the campus.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Let’s suppose it was. People were willing to give MORE money to police even after seeing the brutality and excesses. Comms is more important than human rights?

Dead right. And every day hereafter, America falls deeper into the abyss.

DHS, ICE, DoD, HHS, AID, EPA...every day, Trump is murdering people, maiming them, making them suffer. The administration has zero accomplishments. But it has a growing death toll, at home and abroad. Trump, Noem, Homan, Miller, Rubio, Hegseth, Kennedy, Oz, Zeldin all have blood on their hands.

Residents surrounding the ICE agents calling them murderers and saying "You can't kill us all, Nazis." I feel their pain deeply.

Straight, no chaser. Thank you @chrislhayes.bsky.social.
