Do it for freedom!

Completely in character for him.

It’s also worth noting that in Nazi Germany, closing down scientists and other intellectuals’ ability to travel for work was an early move to keep people from escaping.

Cadaverous freak.

These guys are having the time of their lives. Literally what they've dreamed about for years. And they're doing it all for freedom!

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Widely seen video recorded at the Santa Ana protest showed a homeland security agent shoot Kaden Rummler, 21, in the face with a less-lethal munition at a distance of only a few feet. Doctors found glass shards and plastic fragments in his skull and

God help us.

When the racist meme becomes national policy

ICE has kidnapped one of my MN News Guild siblings

Trump has a far more loyalist, extreme administration this time - including the vice president. He specifically got rid of generals who didn't do his bidding in J6. They're already putting troops from various agencies on the ground in cities. They're exploring legal strategies to escalate.

Shorter: We hate women.

Ominous thread.

Funny stuff. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/01/canc...

Woman Seen Pulled from Car Speaks Out: 'Lucky to be alive' Aliya Rahman "said she was driving to an appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when the incident occurred." She asked for a doctor and was taken to a detention center where she lost consciousness. abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...

This is so embarrassing. We expect Schumer to take on Trump when he can’t even take on Nutlick.

Ooh.

Charming people.

ffs Both sides!

LOL. Michael is mad. (And rightly so, to be clear.) Don't these idiots listen to If Books Could Kill?

We're going to see peace like we've never seen it before.

Gee I wonder how this happened.

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

Those brain pills are really working for Elon.

Agreed.

They wanted a university with a particular kind of cancel culture.

Seems bad.

wtf

'Jenrick’s longtime allies, Sam Armstrong and Jake Ryan, watched from the sidelines, while Reform figures James Orr and Tice, in the audience, nodded along to his claims that “Britain is broken”.' Imagine being a "longtime ally" to, of all people, Robert Jenrick. Mom and Dad must be pretty proud.

Funny how that works.

LOL

Flying to Minneapolis tomorrow to cover the ICE raids for News Agents, what is unfolding and the politics which flows from it. If you’re there or know the city and know people/organisations we should be speaking to, please get in touch. DMs open.

This is hideous. And you really should read the ACLU report about what they’re doing to people, especially Cubans, at Fort Bliss. CW racism, violence, torture, sexual assault assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

THREAD of offers of guest lectures (via Zoom) for Minneapolis-area classes so faculty can offer their students a top-quality education while dealing with other crises Seeing tons of extremely generous offers. I'll try to post 'em all here--please add your own w topics you can cover & how to contact

"Let's not make a mockery of this [Senate] proceeding," the anti-abortion Slenderman said, as he proceeded to make a mockery of the proceeding, asking a doctor, "Can men get pregnant?" 12 times and interrupting her 16 times. www.jezebel.com/josh-hawley-...

This is why they don't allow congress people in

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

The Dems saying this would have been the kind of dinosaurs to try and reason with the comet

Nixon but worse. And stupider.

“ProPublica found more than 40 cases over the past year of immigration agents using these life-threatening maneuvers on immigrants, citizens and protesters. The agents are usually masked, their identities secret. The government won’t say if any of them have been punished.”
