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.

SO much winning!

Also, the The Orangeburg Massacre at South Carolina State College in 1968: cops killed 3 students who were protesting against segregation & wounded 28. All the victims were black. I learned about Kent State in high school, but not about either of these tragedies, which I learned of from friends.

Don't forget the shootings at Jackson State, 11 days later. 40 highway patrolmen fired more than 460 shots; 2 students (a married law student and a high school student who was walking home from work) were killed, and 12 injured. It's rarely mentioned in the press, perhaps b/c the victims were black.

Kent State is the reason I became a professor. It was unbelievable that the National Guard could murder students on any campus. We've learned nothing since May 4, 1970.

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

These elected Dems still don’t get it. @booker.senate.gov

Call it what it is. Door to door concentration camp round ups. You know when the full record comes to light there *will* be horrifying degrees of intentional genocide of non-whites in ICE facilities due if nothing else to over crowding. It is happening.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

On our last day the skies of Norway gave us a send off like no other.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic. We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.” And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

The military has a duty and an oath to defend the Constitution. Honor it.

Saw someone on reddit call Bovino "Temu Himmler" and yeah, that's perfect

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.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

Austin Pets Alive brought in two bunches of intakes from shelters around Texas and AAS this week. We have a LOT of new dogs, stressed dogs, puppies. Come get some dogs (or cats!).

@newyorker.com Hi I was wondering if you could share this dog. Her name is Melia and she's looking for a low traffic adult only home. Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter (516) 785-5220 3320 Beltagh Avenue , Unit Wantagh, NY 11793 Video 👇 www.facebook.com/reel/1451850...

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

"A Minneapolis couple said that ICE agents deployed tear gas... around them and their six children — the youngest only 6 months old — as they tried to maneuver their car out of a tense protest on Wednesday night." They were driving home from a son’s basketball game. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

NEW: While serving as South Dakota governor in 2024, DHS secretary Kristi Noem's personal company reportedly collected nearly $140K from a secretive nonprofit promoting her interests, according to a tax return obtained by CREW.

When Fascism came to America, no one crawled on their bellies and kissed the boot more willingly than those who once defiantly shouted "Don't Tread On Me!"

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

“Lifeless… foam around his mouth. Nobody wants to see their kids like that.” ICE attacked a family trying to LEAVE the besieged neighborhood and hospitalized a 6 month old baby that couldn’t breathe.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead Pic of the day #photography

LOTS of new shitty MAGA accounts on here this week. It's like finding out overnight there are lots of new piles of dog shit on your sidewalk that weren't there yesterday. Step carefully.

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.

The Trump administration just released a five-year plan for offshore oil leasing, setting the stage to auction off 1+ billion acres of public waters in the United States. More drilling will only push imperiled wildlife closer to extinction. Take action. act.biologicaldiversity.org/OvxlEQSpoEGj...

ICE is in every large Minnesota city, and also our smaller ones, truck stops, gas stations, 3000 ICE are everywhere.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community. They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

This was the plan

Skyrocketing violence & terrorism carried out by the Gestapo (=ICE) against the American People is intentional said former ICE members ICE goons are not trained to handle large crowds & now are urged by higher ups to be as violent as possible #Trump www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Gestapo (=DHS) now brazenly & shamelessly using white nationalist/Nazi themed advertisements in their recruiting campaign for more goons (=ICE) #Trump #ICEAndBorderPatrolAreTheNewGestapo theintercept.com/2026/01/13/d...

Trump is jamming the news cycle full of awful things to distract us—but we can’t stop talking about the Epstein Files. I’m fighting to enforce the law and make the sure the full files are released.

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Russia offers to help the U.S. Military sink NATO ships If this doesn’t convince Repubs something is terribly wrong, nothing will

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship. We good with that, America? I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.
