Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

This evening's thought to ponder from Maggies Farm. Boo says Earl's head isn't heavy; he's her older brother.

Whoever isn't releasing the Epstein files needs to go to prison.

THIS. Strike while they're vulnerable.

I want to go back to Marimar Martinez' request to lift protective order in her case. She was shot by CBP in October. As w/Good & Pretti, they lied to cover up shooting. As a threshold issue, Bovino was just 1-degree of separation from all 3 shootings. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

JUST IN: Trump admin tells judge that "approximately 3,000 officers and agents" are taking part in Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota. Judge asked for a number during hearing earlier today. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26... Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Patel is backpedaling. Or backpatelling? Before he said that you can’t carry a gun to a protest. When the MAGA base dragged him for that, he’s changed it to this. Which is just a lie.

1500 pardoned thugs will be headed back to prison.

Armed and masked ICE federal agents are now stalking ICE watchers and monitors in Maine-- showing up at their homes, harassing and threatening them with violence. But the Trump regime wants us to believe that these community volunteers are the "paid instigators" and "domestic terrorists". Sure.

ICE is trying to blend in!! Be careful out there

Bondi has moved to seal all FBI evidence in the murder of Alex Pretti. Because one of Trump's pardoned J6 rioters tried to threaten agents. Therefore, Alex Pretti's files must remain sealed. Another murder cover-up.

“The Minnesota Department of Corrections launched a website its leaders said was dedicated to combatting Department of Homeland Security misinformation after Pretti was killed.” apnews.com/article/misi...

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

So, this whole operation is basically using violence to coerce the state of Minnesota into allowing Trump's lackeys to fix elections, a typical mob rule move. State election rolls are a critical security issue for all states. This has to be fought in the courts as well as in the streets. #ProudBlue

Once again, my favorite ginger nails it. 10/10 🎤 🫳 🚫 🎶

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Bovino is not leaving Minneapolis cause he wants to. Not cause Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Vance or Trump want him to go. He’s leaving because the extraordinary “ordinary” citizens of that great city - by peacefully protesting en masse - kicked him out. Lesson to be learned. We have power.

New York Knicks player Guerschon Yabusele: “I stand with Minnesota”

When a fascist has a weapon that can hurt all those he hates, he's going to use it. When Trump decides he's hurt Minnesota enough for now, he'll start executing people elsewhere. That's no policy shift—it's making sure fear is equally distributed. If you're in a blue state, get ready for invasion.

Street artist unknown:

Until Miller’s gone these are just gestural purges to sanitize and consolidate his reign of terror.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

STOP THE PRESSES!!! Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) is concerned!!! (Federal agents are currently operating in a surge to the state of Maine, but let's not get all fussy about it).

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback. Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.” (Published Nov. 2025)

In response to the shooting of Alex Pretti and the events over the past week's in Minneapolis, we are calling on all lawyers to defend the Constitution. People's Constitutional rights are being taken away in Minnesota. It is time for lawyers to stand up and say stop. ldad.org/letters-brie...

Former Gestapo head Gregory Bovino needs to retire to a federal prison, not a lovely ranch in California.

As 1 in 6 in Mass. spend half their income on housing, here’s what they sacrifice www.masslive.com/news/2026/01...

Demand the name of the shooter.

"DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately," CNN reports

“The next phase is not reconstruction.” After the return of the remains of the last Israeli captive held in Gaza, Israeli PM Netanyahu said the next phase of the ceasefire will be “disarming Hamas and demilitarising the Gaza Strip.”

I talked on MS NOW about how state investigators are (rightly) treating federal DHS less like a law enforcement partner and more like a criminal organization that needs to be contained. www.ms.now/ana-cabrera-...

ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...
