UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

Bingo.

Come, Sir Andrew, there’s no remedy

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Fellow #Ohio residents: Next time you try to call your Senator's office, say that you're #LesWexner. Then maybe #JohnHusted will answer your call.

This is a great demonstration of the devil’s bargain higher ed is making with LLM companies. A brilliant historian-turned-ass dean-for-AI clearly sees how students & colleges are being exploited by unethical firms, but still concludes there is no choice but to sign on to extractive “partnerships”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

I'm going to quote those last two lines every where I can.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Kaitlan Collins: Why did you & Bondi protect the privacy of child rapists but un-redact the names & faces of victims? Trump: You are the worst reporter. You should smile more. National Prayer Breakfast: Finally a true Christian

Immigrants are carrying this country on their backs while the right screams into the void. Here’s the Cato Institute report: www.cato.org/blog/cato-st...

For those keeping score at home:

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

The ICE death toll keeps rising. The cruelty of these people. people.com/ice-denies-d...

9 deaths. ICE has kileld 9 people. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/...

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

We’re airing a new campaign ad, starting tomorrow. Here it is:

They kill us for their sport.

Knitting colorwork mittens helping regulate my mind this week. #knitsky

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Impeach now.

Everything is clear; Alex was unjustly and deliberately murdered. Officials who claim otherwise should be punished along with the killer police officer. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

A reminder: Do not comply in advance.

The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI. 🤷 www.wsj.com/lifestyle/wo...

I don't care what happens in the last few episodes. For me, the real winner of #TheTraitorsUK will forever be Stephen's jumpsuit.

At this point, I'm just going to assume that any member of Congress who isn't pushing back HARD is worried they're named in the Epstein files.

German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews. In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship. Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN. This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Ohio GOP U.S. Sen. Jon Husted has taken at least $75,000 in campaign contributions from Centene, including more than $29,000 after the company paid $88.3 million to settle allegations that it had fraudulently extracted tens of millions from Ohio Medicaid. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/16/h...

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away. Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

relevant to the debate over whether we should keep funding DHS without reforms and accountability for how out of control their spending is

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

“Emerson does not have a mother today because one of you murdered a woman in cold blood yesterday.”

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing. But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

Make it viral.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

Me yesterday watching ep 7 of #GameofWool: "WhyTF are they having contestants make red carpet dresses out of Aran sweaters?" Me today: Oh. OK. But still.
