Looks like Senator Blumenthal's office worked with the whistleblowers, and has already put out a letter to the Trump admin demanding answers. Congress MUST act. This is a five alarm fire for our basic rights under the law. bsky.app/profile/blum...

These families deserve justice. Not just the abatement of occupation but justice for what they are experiencing.

Oooooooooh ICE feels harassed by their bathroom experiences?

This was Columbia SOUTH CAROLINA this evening! Let me say it again: SOUTH CAROLINA. Hundreds of people of all ages showed up to say ABOLISH ICE

Come on out, yall! It's a large, motivated group!

Exclude JD Vance from Communion you cowards!!!

Breaking news: Alligator Alcatraz is losing track of people and deporting them by mistake according to interview interviews with whistleblowers. Here is our full report on my Substack open.substack.com/pub/nickvale...

Y'all remember when Nancy Pelosi was banned from communion in her diocese by her archbishop? Does the church not take the biblical teachings about honoring refugees and neighbors seriously?

A study shows a cow using a "multi-purpose" tool — a broom, for scratching. "multi-purpose tool use... is extraordinarily rare. Beyond humans, it has only been shown convincingly in chimpanzees." Another example of "this animal is smarter than we thought" 🧪 www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Today is a beautiful day to call your representatives office and remind them to do their job.

Can someone ask Brett Kavanaugh for comment?

Months before they killed Renee Nicole Good, they were plotting shooting Americans.

It's still astounding to me how many people in this country want to be dominated by a narcissist. Like, stand up for yourself?

Is this leaning in?

I miss Copenhagen.

Thank you Andreas Ulbricht wherever you are !!

tired of writing foias in the year of our lord im just gonna automate all of this shit

Old man yells at clouds

Behold: an early contender for headline of the year 🇦🇺 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"utmost respect" is hilarious in this situation

The republican stance is that boners deserve more rights than women do.

Calling everything a distraction is offensive to those of us with ADHD, for whom everything is a distraction.

Love to report that I've hated Elon since before Robyn. I think it was circa 2013/2014? I just saw him speak in some situation and had a visceral "oh this is a narcissist" reaction.

X updated its terms of service to declare that any lawsuit against it, even ones which are ongoing (as Musk’s suit against Media Matters is), must be heard by Reed O’Connor in Texas. Basically.

It's true that Kristi Noem is evil but it's really, really important that we all remember that she is also stupid.

It's cause Kristi Noem is passed that the tribes always saw through her shit

Will will this country get tired of repeating its shit over and over and over and ov...

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Omg gay update

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

My stomach just dropped remembering the feeling of seeing this.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Would love it of we all worked really hard to inaccurate the coming generation against narcissists and abusers. Identify language, behavior, etc

This is the way and every single Democrat should be on board. It won't get anywhere before the midterms, but it will make the midterms easier for Democrats to win and easier to take action on these promises once they do. Be the party of accountability. Own that space, starting now.

Abuser logic

ICE just reported its fourth in-custody death of 2026. It’s only January 10.

for no reason, thinking about the passage in Gravity's Rainbow where the Dutch trying to settle Mauritius drive the dodo to extinction

This is one of my fave stories. The traitor's battle flag was captured by the First Minnesota Infantry at Gettysburg. 3/4 of the regiment died that day. Va has repeatedly requested its return. MN gov Jesse Ventura notoriously responded, “Why? I mean, we won. We took it, that makes it our heritage.”

“The Oglala Sioux Tribe is seeking answers after four enrolled members were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis.” www.newsweek.com/ice-detains-...

the United States government is making my Minneapolis neighborhood dramatically more dangerous for every single person and that's not what they're supposed to be for

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers. the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

There's A LOT going on right now in struggle b/w democracy & authoritarianism, so it's hard to keep up. But it's going to be REALLY important that we pay attention to (and keep pushing back against) how election lies (from 2020) are being mobilized in ways that threaten election integrity in 2026.

I'm so serious that we need to be making use of billboards in trump country. Social media, old media, etc has become so polarized there is no way to get any messages to people completely surrounded by propaganda.

Authoritarians use performative lying to mark who is for, and more importantly, against their regimes. The point isn’t determining truth. The point is creating an ingroup whose loyalty is assured through ritually denying reality and an easily recognizable outgroup that refuses the delusion.

I despise the word “incident” when used in journalism. It is imprecise, unspecific and in instances of state violence has the effect of downplaying what happened and implicitly shifting blame away from the party that committed the act of violence.

This is not the law.

In the spirit of "it's important to go join the work, AND it's important to bring the work to where you are," I'll be facilitating a virtual discussion for ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, POETS, ETC. exploring how we can meaningfully contribute to the organizing happening now. Tuesday, January 13. Register:
