Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.

Kinda true story, not Nobel snub, but the world said nothing. Let's hope everyone says something!

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

There are numerous reports across the Twin Cities on ICE monitoring pages of drones circling apartment buildings. What valid law enforcement reason could there be for this?

David Letterman and Zach Galifianakis team up for an unscripted live conversation on February 18, 2026 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre as part of Just For Laughs - Dave's first appearance in the city since 1978 (!!!). Presale ticket info here: zurl.co/AM7ve

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

Martin Luther King was an American hero. Honor and respect.

Have you noticed ICE is consistently using suppressors (silencers) on their rifles? Why are ICE agents using suppressors and battering rams to arrest old men and nonviolent people in broad daylight? This is for maximum effect imo.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

The US proudly lets hundreds of children die in classrooms(citing the 2nd Amendment) but somehow has the audacity to lecture Denmark on keeping Greenland safe. Abortion is murder, killing kindergarteners is good ol' American freedom. MAGA has destroyed 250 years of legacy in just 10 years.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

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.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "The fact the president thinks it's okay to bring charges against those who represent us is something Minnesotans are not going to stand for, and Americans shouldn't either"

Finally, Europeans are taking to the streets to protest against the American aggression against Europe. But it should not have taken this long. And it should not only be in 🇩🇰🇬🇱. If you want your leaders to to stop their supplication to Trump and fight for you, then you need to tell them.

It’s been on Putin’s To Do List for Trump for a long time and they talk about it every time they speak to each other.

New tariff just dropped. Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June. (Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

I found this very interesting perspective thread on FB.

“A federal judge on Friday barred federal agents in Minneapolis from arresting peaceful protesters, or using nonlethal munitions and crowd control tools against them.” www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

“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.

McLAUGHLIN: Racial animus has no place in DHS and of course is not use CNN: *plays clip of ICE agents asking Minneapolis woman where she was born* McLAUGHLIN: I haven't seen this clip before. She might've been assaulting law enforcement prior to this.

ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point. When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.

We are in the era of ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things.

Renee Good had a pulse when EMS arrived. I’m not sure it would have made a difference if ICE had let that civilian physician render aid before EMS arrived, but now we will never know. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

Precisely what Putin has prepped tRump to accomplish.

#BondisDOJ has not released any #EpsteinFiles in 2026. #KeepUpThePressure. #IStandWithTheFordWorker

A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.
