It's completely insane to me that it's even up for debate among senators that Kristi Noem should resign. Every lawmaker and newspaper editorial board in the country should be calling for her resignation. She has entirely failed in this role. She is incompetent. She is a disaster.

Stephen Miller & Sec. Noem have cost innocent people their lives and trampled the rights of thousands more w/ warrantless home invasions and racial profiling. Both must resign. DHS exists to make us more secure. But right now it's doing the opposite. www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/01.27.26...

It truly is. And of course the self sabotage starts in Texas with Abbott

basically a collection of weiss's friends and pet projects

A Trump-appointed district judge described the conditions of ICE detainees with no criminal history held in a temporary cell in the Central Islip federal courthouse on Long Island for days — putrid, cramped, inhumane and unlawful.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Good riddance to the anti-voting rights advocate and election denier with the most experience at DOJ’s civil rights division, Maureen Riordan.

146 House Democrats back the articles of impeachment I introduced against Secretary Noem. Secretary Noem has blood on her hands. Under her leadership, Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good were murdered. Impeach Noem. Get ICE out of our cities. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Kristi Noem must resign. And if she won’t, she must be held accountable and impeached by Congress.

Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately. Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House. We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

Hakeem Jeffries: "Kristi Noem is a despicable, corrupt, pathological liar. We've seen her slander not just one, but American citizens, patriotic Americans who were killed without justification on the streets of Mpls ... we are prepared to initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House."

Continued erasure of America’s true #history by Trump. MAGA tears will not change the fact that between 1772 and 1867 most of the roughly 370 treaties negotiated with Native American tribes were broken for gold and land. www.history.com/articles/nat...

👀 Judge Schlitz, the chief federal judge in Minnesota, has ordered the head of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appeal personally in court Friday and threatened him with contempt for the agency’s repeated violation of court orders. “The court’s patience is at an end.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🎁🔗 Since July, at least 16 people have been struck by bullets — including four U.S. citizens. Three people have been killed that we know of. Trump’s DOJ pursued felony charges against 10 of those shot but no ICE or CBP agents have faced charges or any internal disciplinary measures. wapo.st/45scxnC

Excellent reporting by @kyledcheney.bsky.social in Politico on the deluge of cases filed against ICE in Minneapolis. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

The administration is "deeply frustrated"? To my mind, Noem/Bovino carried out what the White House wanted (see statements from Miller absolving ICE and smearing Good and Pretti), and now that its backfired, they are being used by Trump as scapegoats to absolve the WH of accountability. Dont forget.

🔥🧵 Why Bovino was really demoted boils down to optics. Again, nothing has changed with ICE, CPB or Trump’s immigration enforcement policy.

NEW: One of Pope Leo XIV’s top U.S. allies, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, is calling for the defunding of ICE. Tobin says the “lawless organization” is a “machinery of death.” This marks the first time a senior Church leader has called for ICE to be defunded. More are expected in the coming days.

I mean ICE is getting funding: the Republican control Congress, and the BBB gave them a slush fund. The 2024 election means 2029 is the earliest ICE actually vanishes. Elections have consequences The job of Dems is to extract as many concessions as they can, which is what they appear to be doing

🎯 There is no change in Trump’s immigration enforcement policy until Miller, Noem, Homan and Tricia McLaughlin are all gone and the $70B of funding is clawed back.

"How will you say 'no' this week when an appropriations bill is going to be considered? Will you contact your representatives? Will you ask them, for the love of God and the love of human beings... to vote against renewing funding for such a lawless organization?" www.ncronline.org/news/cardina...

🚨 By extending border enforcement to the interior, “the border becomes the pretext an aspiring tyrant (like Trump) needs to undo the law everywhere, at all times, and against anyone. Using ICE to enforce his own whims on an American state of his choosing.”

🔗 The Trump administration’s vicious lies about Renee Good and Alex Pretti serve a purpose: “they function as fascist solidarity, signaling that partisans can and should do anything and everything to political enemies, no matter how violent, cruel, or unnecessary.”

"behind the violence in Minneapolis—captured in so many chilling photographs in recent weeks—is a different reality: a meticulous urban choreography of civic protest." from Robert worth, @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Good. Given what was already known, it was absurd to me (not a lawyer) that the 8th Circuit overruled a lower court and allowed federal ICE and CPB agents to violate our rights guaranteed by the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution.

Continued erasure of America’s Black history by Trump. The National Park Service removed the “Freedom and Slavery in the Making of a New Nation” exhibit describing enslaver president Washington at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. The city has sued globalnews.ca/news/1163449...

If JD Vance is all you have to put a softer face on Stephen Miller's authoritarian police state, you’ve lost the argument.

🚨🔗 Good to see how Vance and Noem lie on camera but the DOJ says the opposite in court. It was the #SCOTUS’ decision that allowed racial profiling by ICE in the first place - the so-called Kavanaugh stops. I’m thankful for the @aclu.org MN lawsuit. Support them. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Great reporting! MN Judges call BS and reject ICE warrants for lack of evidence protestors are committing crimes.

🎁🔗 NYT Editorial Board “Winning back the trust of NATO allies “involves bipartisan expressions of revulsion at Trump’s actions…The shambolic and sometimes illegal nature of his foreign policy moves of the past few weeks has been unusually harmful.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

Breaking MS NOW: Aides to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche directed the U.S. Attorney's office and FBI agents in Minnesota to shut down the civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good and instead alter it to probe Good for possible criminal liability.

Sick and depraved Trump, Bondi and Patel are ruining the DOJ and FBI. AFTER Renee Good was dead, the DOJ ordered an FBI agent to change the warrant from a civil rights investigation to investigating her for suspected assault on an officer. The Judge denied their request and the FBI agent resigned

In the bitter cold of -11 degrees thousands of Minnesotans risk frostbite to protest the invasion, cruelty, and lawlessness of Trump’s masked federal ICE and CBP agents.

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands. An administration of total inhumanity.

COLBERT, on the so-called “Board of Peace”: “.. Paying a billion dollars to obey Donald Trump seems a little steep. After all, CBS got to do it for just 16 million." @latenightercom.bsky.social #$PSKY

It’s amazing how the constitutional rights of people you want to target don’t matter. This has been the ugly history of America for decades.

Let’s not forget about the menace to the health of all Americans - HHS Secretary and antivaxer RFK Jr. Not satisfied with causing the largest increase in measles in 25 years, they’re now moving on to polio.

WaPo avoiding the obvious reason that “conservatives who once railed against federal agents now applaud them” What’s the difference between the people at Ruby Ridge or Waco and the people being terrorized by federal agents now? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

JD Vance lies shamelessly again while in Minneapolis yesterday. Everyone in Trump’s orbit tries to gaslight us 24/7 like we’re all in their MAGA cult.

JD Vance lies shamelessly: "Right now we're focused on Minneapolis because that's where we have the highest concentration of people who have violated our immigration laws."

every democrat should be talking like this. all of them.

The sick Trump White House comms team thinks using AI this way to alter the image of a strong Black woman to make her look like she was crying was bad enough. The darkening of the skin is rooted in a long tradition of a dehumanizing, #racist practice that started in 19th-century minstrel shows

The major winter storm expected this weekend is serious. Be careful and check on your neighbors. The Red Cross has some great tips to prepare for it. www.redcross.org/get-help/how...

🎯 Thank you Rep. Lee, The Republicans are allowing Pam Bondi to break the law the House and Senate passed and Trump signed. The victims deserve accountability. #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

🎯 All of the journalists who dragged Joe Biden are too busy sane washing Trump’s incoherent and crazy statements

ICE includes violating the 4th Amendment in training. I don’t understand why the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay today that allows the abuse to continue.

🚨BREAKING: A New York court ruled Wednesday that the state’s 2024 congressional map illegally diluted the political power of Black and Latino voters*, ordering an immediate redraw that would likely give Democrats another seat in this year’s midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.
