The shared agreement that it's when, not if, ICE agents swing, and it's shared by perfectly normal people across an increasingly large chunk of the population. It's the overton window finally shifting *away* from fascism, an anchoring on what is possible that *isn't* a nazi's dream.

Prince, in 2007, before the greatest half time show in Super Bowl history, when told there was rain in the forecast: "Can you make it rain harder?" Minnesotans, today, preparing to march to protect our neighbors when told it's -21 degrees. "Can you make it colder?"

Use our action center to tell lawmakers to stop the Trump administration from deporting Guan Heng, who helped journalists expose the horrors of Uyghur prison camps in Xinjiang, China. His life could be at risk.

This is fascism

Nothing complicated or subtle or hard to understand about what is happening: -"forcibly entered homes without a judge’s warrant" -"interrogated people because of their ethnicity or accents" -"broke windows and dragged occupants from their cars" -"used force on people who were already restrained"

Remember when these guys lied that they were preserving Confederate monuments because you had to leave up the whole messy contested historical record rather than erasing history?

FBI leadership coverup of Renee Good killing. A supervisor in FBI’s Minneapolis field office resigned "after bureau leadership in Washington pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into" ICE agent Jonathan Ross. "Such inquiries are a common investigative step in similar shootings."

Families were promised their children's data would be protected. Instead it was fed into shoddy, pseudoscientific research making claims about race and IQ. Now amplified by AI bots, compounding the harm. We need an honest reckoning with how genomic data can be weaponized for scientific racism.

This is fascism

ICE keeps abducting babies. www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

This is fascism

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage. Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

This is fascism

I do not have access to the study mentioned here. Can anyone shed light on what the researchers mean by "long held theory"? There are a lot of long held theories of grammar out there. #Linguistics scitechdaily.com/have-we-been...

I wrote about Minneapolis. nymag.com/intelligence...

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

The Profa Republican Party is an international crime syndicate of white supremacist domestic terrorists

It's of a piece with the pentagon removing pages about Charles Rogers, the tuskegee airmen, navajo code talkers, etc. That's not some shameful history they're covering up, those are American heroes! They're trying to erase them because the administration is a bunch of disgusting white supremacists

"Whitewashing history" is not what they're doing. They're not trying to erase the history of slavery to make america look better. They're erasing the record of the lives & humanity of the enslaved people, because they don't believe they're worth remembering, or even people at all

This is also murder. Every single Republican member of Congress shares responsibility for this. Never, ever, ever, ever vote for a Republican.

The Profa Republican Party is an international crime syndicate of epistemic irresponsibility putting us all in danger

"I am going to be clear: as a physician in the U.S., I am terrified. The administration's vaccine policies, led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are extremely dangerous." www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/pres...

i say this as someone who does research in this field: is it that "no one has any good idea of what to do about it" or that the people with good, effective ideas are ignored and drowned out by people with terrible ideas?

CBS News is reporting that the ICE agent who abducted a Minnesota preschooler suffered internal injuries during the abduction.

I didn't say it. The Germans did.

Germany's magazine Der Spiegel: "Martial and attention-seeking - that's how ICE Commander Gregory Bovino likes to present himself."

NEW: Federal agents have detailed a Spokane 10-year-old and her father. They remain in a Texas immigration detention center. The judge that is set to oversee the case has a 90%+ denial rate for asylum claims. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

These aren't ICE or CBP agents making the arrests. They are collaborators from the Plymouth, Minnesota police department.

Kids, staff, parents detained: How federal activity in Minnesota is affecting schools and students | MPR www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I worry that for every child we know they have kidnapped there are even more that we don’t know about. And I’m scared for them too.

Funny and true.

NEW: I was one of 3 reporters granted access to the convening of 600+ clergy in Minneapolis this week. It was a striking show of solidarity with MN clergy resisting ICE, but heralded something else: the emergence of a vast, faith-based network trained to resist ICE. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...

Pelican Rapids, MN, is a town of about 2500. Median household income about $27K. It's 25% hispanic. There's a Jennie-O turkey plant there. I've been reading the last half hour about how the local Catholic Church had to shut down its Spanish mass because of ICE invading the town.

How is Trump’s “Board of Peace” not just a billion dollar protection racket for countries to avoid being invaded by Trump?

a small start:

It's old news that most of what Trump says is a lie, but Vance is an epic and vicious and often outrageous liar, and someone should track them the way they used to track Trump's lies.

Minnesota standing up to ICE. And they did it in sub-zero temperatures. This is the way. Mass protest is the only action, and we are going to see more and more of it. Just remember: "The power of the people is greater than the people in power"

This is fascism

An FBI agent has resigned after Trump administration officials decided to focus the investigation into the shooting of Renee Good more on the actions of Good and her partner and less on the officer who shot and killed her.

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest

Truly a heartwarming example of Minnesota nice. And Fuck ICE
