Apparently the Constitution is optional now.

Media reports say two battalions of the US Army's 11th Airborne Division (aka the "Arctic Angels"), who specialize in cold weather warfare, are on standby for possible deployment to Minnesota.

He gave a bunch of Nazi salutes and out came the super soakers (pic from Mpls subreddit)

The point here is to believe people when they tell you who they are. Gavin Newsom hangs out with Republicans because he likes hanging out with Republicans. This isn't 4-D chess. He wants to hang out with Ben Shapiro and Steve Bannon. When he says he agrees with them on things, it's because he does.

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.

Finally, Millennial Pink is being weaponized

This really well written guide by Defend 612 explains what’s going on. They’ve really developed this to. drive.proton.me/urls/NQBEQE8...

This is the greatest threat to democracy right now, just out in the open! If you’re concerned about the midterms this is it!

#HostileMilitiaME Let’s look into who is doing militia LARP in Maine

UNITE HERE Local 17 represents more than 6,000 workers. The majority of our membership is women, immigrants and people of color. Minnesota is under attack by Federal ICE Agents indiscriminately targeting people of color. WE NEED YOUR HELP — Please support this hardship fund.

On Tooze: I think it is actually worth understanding and appreciating that better ideas don’t always win out over material realities. I don’t know if that was his point or if his point was something more, but you better come to grips with that because it’s true.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights. We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs. Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Why can't Illinois citizens wear protective gear to a "First Amendment Zone" where they've previously been attacked with pepper spray, rubber bullets, baton rounds, chemical rounds and truncheons?

The central government is waging war against one of its constituent states. (This NOI gives the target business 3 business days notice of what is, essentially, an I-9 audit. Note: we're seeing ICE demand access to additional documents that the NOI does not legally entitle them to)

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Let's gooooooooo With alt

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Holy shit

Prediction markets are neither.

📌URGENT: Trump's regime is trying to turn Stars & Stripes into state-run media. I was the ME of S&S. It's MANDATED BY CONGRESS to be an editorially independent paper that reports ON the troops FOR the troops. So I type this with precision: The draft-dodging, America-attacking slob can KISS MY ASS.

Why go die in a frozen ditch forgotten by history if you could die making a banger speech before being hanged for attempting to bomb the fascist party HQ

Love when my keys turn into a brain-teaser in my pocket

Why are so many people posting this story WITHOUT THE GOFUNDME www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities. “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.” A profile in absolute courage.

On the slight chance that there is some kind of sea-change, landslide, whatever, between now and 2028, please PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR as the wins pile up. FOLLOW-THROUGH to push for reforms. Everyone gave up when Obama was elected and didn't engage. IT doesn't matter who it is, just PUSH.

Why am I such a dumbass with super glue

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Feds are pushing centrists to radicalism.

Our devotion to brands and franchises — rather than to the artists who create the stories we love — has turned fandom into a seemingly inexhaustible resource to be consumed forever by a class of corporate Doomsday Machines. I’ve decided to re-examine my attachments.

New poll from Navigator also with an incredible result; the largest drop in support for ICE since June was actually among *Republicans*, 25% of which now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the agency.

The bad analysis really exposes what a house of cards the entire foreign policy wonk crowd really is.

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

Specifically, David Shor is explicitly saying that AOC's message that "Republicans are cutting healthcare to fund ICE, and therefore Democrats should cut ICE funding" is the most popular message among voters

There are many tactics Republicans can & may employ to try to depress voter turnout and intimidate voters. That said, voter turnout can also be depressed by people preemptively declaring the election is rigged. It takes effort to get to the polls, it doesn't help to tell people it's not worth it.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

No Secret Police

MN isn't the first place to go through this, Will, wake the fuck up. They are jealous + have jurisdictional grievance. Cops behave exactly the same!

They are going to name it "Mecha-Hitler"

Not gonna link to it, but the RW streamer NickSortor on X has a video of people ripping out some kind of weapons storage from a car in MN. Used a pickup and a ratchet strap to rip it right out.

One of the most fundamental problems for dealing w/ ICE is the GOP provided years of ICE agent funding in the “Big Beautiful Bill.” No govt shutdown will end that funding stream, and there aren’t 2/3s votes in each chamber to rescind the funding & override a veto. Means resistance is what we have.
