Ever since the Service lied about their phone messages to the January 6th Committee, and subsequently wiped their phones as well, I've never trusted them. Free speech IS free speech- but the service is NOT apolitical- they are without question, far right leaning.

‘Maybe DHS Was a Bad Idea’ - 🎁Article

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was intentionally trying to destroy the United States, how could you tell the difference?

One can hardly . . . excuse me, CANNOT blame them

Minneapolis.

h/t @pkrugman.bsky.social Just this once I approve of this AI-generated video. ;) youtu.be/hS0wFiWpU4U?...

NEW: The DOJ has filed a motion to block the appointment of an independent monitor to release the Epstein files in the Ghislaine Maxwell case. The DOJ argues that federal courts lack the authority to enforce the Epstein Transparency Act… 1/

It’s quite likely that being called a “fucking bitch” is one of the last things a dying Renee Good ever heard. I demand leaders who are as filled with pure, diamond-hard rage over this as I am. I believe this is absolutely not asking for too much.

There's NO business like SNOW business

🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents. Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored. Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

I haven't had to yet where I live, but I'm trying to be ready to do so where and when it is necessary. This violence is not limited to Minneapolis, Chicago, LA, NYC. If not stopped, it WILL come to a neighborhood near you.

😂❤️

Germany sends troops to Greenland. Germany has seen this movie before. They played the bad guys then. They want a different role in the sequel.

I don't understand. Why are they treating this as "breaking news"? This broke many hours ago, did it not?

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.

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid. And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.

Are we?

all just part of the great Antifa plan

What, really? Where is the fucking outrage, . . . US media?

One thing about Midway Blitz was those fuckers got off work at 5 and you could leave the house and go to the store. With the exception of Broadview and South Shore, they were not on foot terrorizing neighborhoods in the middle of the night. Their choppers were. Nothing like what is happening in MSP.

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

ICE is out of control. They are the source of the violence and can never be its remedy. In the short term, the only answer is for them to cease operations in Minnesota and leave. Immediately. In the slightly longer term, ICE must be dismantled and abolished. They cannot be reformed.

I was quite surprised how much I loved this movie, because it frankly looked unlikeable, if admirable. The last scene and beginning of credits had me laughing out loud AND crying. It really is all that. Review: Marty Supreme chicagoreader.com/film-tv/movi...

If this doesn’t sound familiar, then you haven’t seen enough movies about Nazis.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

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.

At least Obama's hypothetical Death Panels would have decided who deserved to die based on a rubric more complicated than "did they just piss off a high school dropout armed by the state"

How is this not inciting violence? Why must they remind ICE that they have immunity? One of their agents just shot a killed a woman in broad daylight and they’re effectively telling them to go ahead and do whatever they want because they’re above the law. Be safe Minneapolis.

I wonder, seriously, how big the "ICE should be disbanded" percentage needs to get before either a) congressional leaders get on board or b) people decide congress isn't the best way to solve the problem

Quiet, piggy

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

If he gets canned he will make many years worth of salary on a Go Fund Me before he wins his grievance through the union.

NEW: The Times got the Fulton County grand jury transcripts. Lindsey Graham told the grand jurors “if you told him Martians came and stole votes, he’d be inclined to believe it.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

More war crimes: "But the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then attacking and killing them. That is a war crime called 'perfidy.'" Gift article www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

So why did nyt wait until today to trot out the racism portion of their interview? The way they’ve been stretching it out is so self-serving and they’re diluting the impact. Trump Says Civil Rights Led to White People Being ‘Very Badly Treated’ www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Six years ago I wrote in the Washington Post that police must not hide their face or name. Seems kind of pertinent now, right? Here’s a link to a free version of the piece I wrote. I was angry and sad then. I’m angry and sad now. Courage. Use it. Now. www.heraldnet.com/opinion/comm...

If there has to be ONE winner, it will feel like the other noms are losers. The winners were great, too, so I can't complain, but Sinners was so splashily and daringly new and unique!

Russ Vought claimed last summer that the Fed had "failed to comply with permitting rules around capital-area construction," and just wait til he hears about what someone did to the East Wing of the White House a few weeks ago. www.wsj.com/economy/cent...

There's no reason for ICE agents to have guns. Nobody is shooting at them.

Ah, this is news to me, but not surprising at all.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

More proof that traditional media is out of touch: The level of pearl clutching over Mayor Jacob Frey dropping a well-deserved f-bomb versus the outrage over the murder of Renee Nicole Good

a lot of people think the cops should be allowed to shoot you dead if you disrespect them. No word on what you should be allowed to do when the cops disrespect you.

The only ax to grind that I have is against lazy thinking, of which this post is great example. You are equating the lionization of Mangione by a small number of Americans — in a manner no different from classic veneration of the outlaw — with propaganda in defense of state-sanctioned murder.

It's almost eerie. Gives me chills.
