Two *Black* Democrats attacked. That's not a coincidence..

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

A kindergartener is one of a growing number of children in Maine who have been left without a parent as the Trump administration carries out a major immigration enforcement effort, according to local officials.

The "ban whistles" stuff is how you know whistles are working incredibly well

Uh, protestors flash mobbing Hiltons in other parts of the country for housing ICE agents in MN is going to get that corporation to sit up and take notice. And not only that corporation. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/n...

i'm not saying it wouldn't be cool if trump "fired" stephen miller but tbh he's never "hired" laura loomer and that hardly matters since trump is constantly consulting people who don't officially work for him. if the goons are still in the streets, it doesn't matter if miller is W-9 or 1099.

a lot of Democratic officials have asked the protesters to be careful to not "give Trump what he wants" and I think it's fair to ask them to do likewise

We have been demanding an eviction moratorium in LA since the ICE attacks began here in June, and the LA County Board of Supervisors is finally considering new protections against eviction. Send an email here: tinyurl.com/stopICEevict...

This is unconscionable. Evil. But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president. So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

Signal is compromised in the exact same sense that an irl community meeting would be compromised when a dude nobody knows shows up and starts loudly asking where all the guns are and whether any fellow leftists can let him in on any cool plans to commit crimes. Which is not at all.

Our least trained and intensely bloodthirsty parade of feckless goons is apparently taking it on the road. www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

"I am 5 years old" Shut it all down. All of it. ICE, DHS, Border Patrol, the entire Republican Party, all the fascist billionaires, X, Tesla, Avelo, and every Democrat who supports them. It's evil through and through.

It's called the Yglesias-Schumer Strategy™

Note: the opposition *is winning*, the opposition has not won. If this ends with ICE still in existence and the killers and kidnappers evading justice, we have lost.

I'm gonna add to this that the Dems had ZERO to do with the Bovino firing. It was the tireless work of the good people of MSP standing strong, filming and writing the news with their first hand accounts. The press tried to both sides it. They WANTED to. But the citizens of Minnesota ended this guy

Ah yes, Mainers: a people never known for their stubbornness and insistence on doing things the hard, right way. I'm sure these strong-arm tactics will have their intended effect on a state with the motto of, last I checked, "Well that's your problem right there" said in a cutting Downeast accent.

Simple, clear, direct.

Buddy: How're you holding up? My Brain: *I've listened to fifteen episodes of Worlds Beyond Number in the last three days bc the serotonin in a bottle is not enough* Me: Oh, y'know, I'm fine.

"Let us go." Immigration attorney Eric Lee shares a drawing by his five-year-old client, stuck in an immigration prison.

Say what you will about kings but they used to die in hilariously gory ways. We haven't seen a proper traditional slapstick death in a long time, it's mostly boring old age instead of getting stabbed by an assassin hiding in the toilet while taking a shit and not being noticed til they began to rot

“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.”

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE Graphic by Mark Boswell/The Minnesota Star Tribune

Might wanna take another pass at that conclusion, bud.

for me it was the fact that the author is one of the main driving forces behind the global movement to kill my trans friends and erase their existence hope that helps

The Feds never left Los Angeles. Don’t forget us. Solidarity with Minneapolis and all communities under siege by federal pigs. Keep fighting. Hold the line.

I hope that folks in European democracies understand that there are no longer friendly nations, but friendly political movements. It's our job to support liberal democracy around the world, especially when they're under assault from anti-democratic movements at home.

personally, the fact that children were protesting their detention and violence, yet there's nothing about not putting people in jail, is pretty bad. people are in detention and lost.

The OC Rapid Response Network noted a rise in "profane and harassing” phone calls "reflecting an intent to intimidate and disrupt” since First Assistant US Attorney Essayli shared his post. The full story: lataco.com/bill-essayli... By Izzy Ramirez

I'm glad the worst people on earth are on their back foot today but until the two murderers are arrested and prosecuted this is all fluff

It’s always funny when palantir employees discover that they work at palantir

Signal will never message you like this. If you get a message like this, SOMEONE IS TRYING TO HACK YOUR SIGNAL. DO NOT GIVE THEM THAT CODE.

All the best frolicking in the comments.

This is the thing that I keep coming back to “I didn’t vote for THIS” Okay, well, a *huge* number of people knew that if the guy you voted for won, this is exactly what would happen. So why did they know and you didn’t? What did you miss? Why did you get it so wrong?

I, for one, am agnostic on which jurisdiction sends him to prison for the rest of his life for his many crimes

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.

I keep saying it because it keeps being true: these are counterinsurgency tactics. This isn't law enforcement, it's warfare

If they're fine with the horrors until they realize the horrors might come for them, they haven't changed. They've just done a new threat assessment. As soon as they assess that the threat to them is gone, they'll go back to ignoring or even championing the threat that remains to everyone else.

And this is why I and other Black folks have been urging white folks to stop doing the go along to get alonf shit and to start speaking out. These people will not listen to us but they will listen to a 45 plus year old white man who looks like a former marine.

I wrote about Minnesotans putting their lives on the line to fight for their city, protect their neighbors, and defend the Republic against tyranny. Some thoughts from my new piece - angry and alarmed, but also hopeful and inspired: 🧵

<right wing Nazi infiltrator> - “hello fellow organizers, how do you do, where are the Sorosbucks?” <Resistance Wine Mom> - “So I met this lovely young person who plays this intriguing computer game, I believe it was called ‘Eve Online,’ and they told me about something called ‘operational security

I’ve said before that the horror of conservatives is that all of this is an abstract to them, just one big game, and here comes Allie Beth Stuckey to say that explicitly 😡

I do caution that Stephen Miller, in particular, appears to be salivating at the opportunity of using Tiananmen Massacre-level state violence on Minnesota. I'm not convinced enough members of the military would go along with him, I definitely think we are seeing shades of circa-1988 Yugoslavia

That fascists are trying to dox and harass journalists who are embedded in rapid response chats to get realtime info is a good argument for why journalists embedding in activist spaces should do so anonymously and operate a secondary device for non-activist spaces/work. Opsec applies to you, too!
