We all need to endorse Fernando Mendoza on LinkedIn for being a goddamn baller

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

The rapidly increasing numbers of deaths in DHS custody is an enormous, stand-alone story in this moment of so many stories. In addition to that, however, I would like to note the horrifyingly deferential way this NBC News report presents information. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Obama, Biden, and Clinton all embraced this notion that they had to appear “tough” on immigration and it helped to build this machine that the GOP is using to oppress and kill Americans. Maybe the party ought to stop doing that shit.

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

“He has sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people” -The Declaration of Independence

one thing i wish i could impress on a lot of you is that trump et al are not the only people with agency

in which case minnesota is almost a prototypical miller operation. maximally cruel and dangerous but also haphazard and self-defeating.

what makes him dangerous is that he is a fanatical xenophobe and white supremacist with the power of the federal government in his hands. what makes him weak is that he is utterly indifferent to public opinion or political necessities.

i think it is simply true that for all intents and purposes stephen miller is the president of the united states

these are out of control thugs and every single thing they say is a lie that they are lying should be the default presumption of the press, the courts, and the general public

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

haul Bovino’s ass in front of the judge every six hours to explain this shit keep hauling him in, hold him in contempt, make his life miserable until he tells his goons to cut it out

BREAKING: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will attend the Supreme Court's hearing on Trump's attempted firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook, an unusual show of support by the central bank chair.

replace rfk jr with this guy

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Not just Mexican restaurants. Many places are doing this, including some McDonald’s and supermarkets.

Per AAG Harmeet Dhillon’s X page, the DOJ is now investigating this protest. This may frustrate the Trump admin’s religious critics, as the DOJ doesn’t appear to have investigated (at least publicly) any of the incidents where clergy have been shot w/pepper balls/tear gas/etc. by DHS agents.

Stay warm and 🐻⬇️, Illinois.

“Verbal assaults”

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.

Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.

ICE agents. are putting. stuffed animals. on dashboards. to fool children. into thinking. they won't be kidnapped.

Losing my mind at the Dems with their billionaire backers and powerful friends who have come up with the brilliant strategy that the party should adopt the policy positions of the avg MAGA voter — apparently ignoring that independents and swing voters even exist. Is this what $40 million gets you??

The political ground is shifting on ICE. Your own Dem rep or senator may not have caught up yet. Now - before the 1/30 funding deadline - is the time to push.

Average Sunday show interview: OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats HOST: how will you pay for it? OFFICIAL: tariffs HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed HOST: thank u for ur time

If moderates are uncomfortable with “Abolish ICE”, I have a more Beltway-friendly framing they can use: we’re gonna shrink ICE so small that we can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.

just incredible to have somebody with this political view quoting Matthew 25, the chapter where Jesus says none shall enter Paradise except those who feed the hungry, welcome the foreigner, took care of those in prison etc

When the racist meme becomes national policy

Cassidy sentenced countless children to death, knowingly, by confirming RFK and Trump stabs him in the back anyway I hope it eats at him every miserable day of the rest of his life

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

jd vance would sell his *own* children for a percocet if he thought it would get him closer to the presidency

"Not since the British occupation of Boston on the eve of the Revolutionary War has an American city experienced anything like the blockade of Minneapolis and its surrounding areas by the federal government" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/o...

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

Running Nazis out of town and then whimsical cardboard sleds at Powderhorn - you just have to love Minneapolis.

Something important about how regular folks have responded to the occupation in Minnesota is that it has created a permission structure for other people across the country to feel like they can fight this regime. Over the past couple of weeks I've seen a lot of people finally step off the sidelines.

once again saying: our ancestors accomplished more, with less, against worse.

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day. I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

My cousin lives where ICE is going door-to-door looking for "Asians". She no longer feels safe leaving the house.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

these exact complaints coming from LA over the summer and Chicago in the fall. This is part of the mission for ICE

The cops who love beating people with batons will be there—but no helmets for you rebel scum.

Democratic politicians facing frivolous criminal investigations from Trump: Kat Abughazaleh Elissa Slotkin Jason Crow Tim Walz Jacob Frey Letitia James Lisa Cook Mark Kelly Eric Swalwell Adam Schiff

Every few weeks we get a story like this and it always fizzle out. Stephen Miller is in control. Let's not pretend otherwise. Even when Brooke Rollins convinced Trump to *publicly* say he'd back off of some raids, it took Miller just 48 hours to browbeat Trump into changing his mind.
