There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

Damn every person in the US government who has let this continue - and escalate - for 4 years.

“fuck ICE” “and also with you”

I checked in today with a good friend of mine in South Minneapolis. Asked what else I could be doing to help, from the East Coast. He said: Tell people no matter what they're seeing online, it's actually worse.

ARE YOU A NON-MINNESOTAN WHO WANTS IDEAS OF STUFF TO DO TO HELP MINNESOTA RESIST FASCIST TYRANNY? Have I got a blog post for you! With additional advice for how to get ready in case tyranny shows up at YOUR doorstep next! naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/h...

"President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, a new body of world leaders meant to oversee next steps in Gaza... A $1 billion contribution secures permanent membership on the Trump-led board..." Holy shit this is bad.

There are opportunities to resist the Trump regime all over #Wisconsin Fond du Lac, Hayward, Platteville, Oshkosh, Ripon, Eau Claire, Sturgeon Bay, Shorewood, Middleton... Find one nearest you! www.wisconsinresist....#Wisconsin #wipolitics #wiresist

Driving with the kiddo today. She asked about my 1st car. I said I got it before moving away to grad school. It could hold a lot of stuff. "What's grad school?" It's extra college. "How much does it cost?" I told her. "Do I have to go?" No, it's optional. "So it's a CHOICE?!"

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social Are you listening? This is what the people need.

Today in Reston, Virginia. 2:30 pm. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

I asked my South Minneapolis friend @flanknits.bsky.social what I can do to help people right now. She sent me this GoFundMe. People are rightfully scared to leave their homes for fear of being kidnapped or murdered by ICE. That means not working, no income. gofund.me/a7d2ea296

Collected some videos of the Vigil for Renee Good on the street she was murdered. No song better than Earth To Eve's haunting lyrics. I'm so touched & impressed with how Minnesota feels protective & connected with their community. ❤️‍🩹🙌🏻 ICE is the worst of us. MN is the best of us.

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

One of the most comprehensive, timely, and effective news sources on the Internet. Much appreciation, sir.

Buddy, hope left the building, went to lunch, had 4 margaritas and a bloody mary, got into a fight with the server, was tossed through a window, severed an artery, had its leg amputated, spent three nights in ICU, got divorced, defaulted on the mortgage, and is living in a van down by the river

Wisconsin friends: tell me about your progressive, non-MAGA businesses in small towns. I'm going to WI in June for a wedding / annual trip to see the folks. Obviously can't do anything about the wedding venue but for the rest of the week I'm turning a plan:

Holy shit. This actually works?

these are two slightly different things but the point is that academia runs on two things: helping others and holding grudges. often at the same time and for the same people. we cannot lose this

"Shapiro believes that it will demand humility on the part of Democrats, a sincere accounting of how they contributed to the electorate's fracturing along lines of class and culture." No. Failing to prosecute Jan 6 criminals and being civil to MAGA zealots is how we got here.

Today's concert was joyous and whimsical AND full of Christmas favorites. So much fun, as both an audience member and a singer.

Yeah sex is good but have you ever had your spouse take over the annual health insurance open enrollment comparison spreadsheet, spend half the weekend agonizing over fine print and medical jargon, and come to the conclusion that the plan you picked last year is truly the least bad option? 😎

Just saw a horrifying ICE ad in my Facebook feed. (I know, I should expect that from Zuck now and should have stopped using FB long time ago). But holy crap, this was gross. For so many reasons.

“I want their morale as low as possible, because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter, patrols the streets of Baltimore to keep his neighbors safe, and makes federal agents uncomfortable.

Today, November 12th, at 8:35 a.m., every single phone number here was unavailable to accept a voicemail. And apparently he doesn't make his staff work before 9:00 a.m. so no one answers the calls in person before that time. Must be nice. I'm working full-time without pay. Why aren't they?

It’s not that we didn’t want the shutdown to end, it’s the fact that millions of people suffered throughout this shutdown and it was for nothing. That’s the most upsetting part.

That is not a reasonable chance! Where the hell did you learn math??? And with Republicans? Forget it.

Seen Tim Kaine's Virginia offices can be called here: 276-525-4790 - Abingdon 703-361-3192 - Manassas 804-771-2221 - Richmond 540-682-5693 - Roanoke 757-518-1674 - Virginia Beach 540-369-7667 - Fredericksburg The last 3 places aren't even answering - straight to voicemail.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

If Democrats continue to save Republicans from their own incompetence, the American people are never going to learn to stop electing these fucking people.

No!! Do not give up for the mere promise of a future vote! Have you somehow never met Mitch McConnell?!??

Nothing is going to feel special this year except perhaps for the new high bar for disagreeing with even MORE of your relatives than usual. Especially the ones who claim they "aren't political" but grill you on the price of gas across in cities vs the country and complain about the price of beef.

we have a way for guys like this to fund the military it’s called “taxes” and clearly they should go up

To my surprise, she kept going: “It’s obvious the whole convo is off record. There’s disappearing messages and it’s on signal. What is your story? You never told me about a story.” The dumbest people. Truly.

Looks like the “official” gov decided it was time to put their mark on Bluesky. Every single one starts out with a Hatch Act violation for a post and every single one deserves a block. Let’s make sure they have their own little echo chamber and block the shit out of them. If you see any others, add.

"not helping would hurt more" Yes. That's what I'm feeling now too, just can't explain it well.

Anyone else have the most depression-riddled Monday of all Mondays?

Yup. This is totally who we are. Always has been. We need to own that shame.

"Don’t let this pack of soulless fucks scare you. Point and laugh at them. Mock them so hard it makes their empty skulls ring. Parody every last rotten inch of their dogshit circus until the whole thing looks as pathetic as it really is."

On day one, I introduced my first bill to protect federal workers and the vital services they provide to the American people. Read my op-ed on @thehill.com to learn more: shorturl.at/QVQS1

Oh. OHHHHHH. 😯

Yesterday, Adam from South Dakota called my SiriusXM show to say Charlie Kirk was unalived b/c people on the left use words like racism or facism to describe folks like Charlie. That call did not end the way he thought it would. #TrollSlay: Words Hold Power youtu.be/BEcoVzaEOP4

It started at 11am this morning, and speakers are still going. You can watch live on PBS if you want.

didtrumpgolftoday.com It's too bad this tracker isn't accurate anymore because the press pool can't take photos of him on the green, just shuffling to his car in the parking lot.

Whatever you do, just keep your foot on the gas. #ResistTrump

I wrote about the ways different concentration camp systems have ended and how to stop the massive expansion of detention happening in the U.S. right now.

"Intolerance of injustice is deeply offensive to unjust people. Intolerance of injustice is also absolutely necessary" I read this twice. Then read their older essays. Then bought a subscription (because I can afford it now).
