Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

A win! A federal judge has instructed the Interior Department to restore signage and video exhibits at George Washington’s former Philadelphia residence that explain his ownership of enslaved people.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

For those unaware, a quick primer on perhaps the most dangerous of the oligarchs. Peter Thiel.

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Trump claims “nobody will care” that he’s trying to steal billions from taxpayers because he’ll give it to charity 🤥 (he won’t) If Obama even dreamed this Republicans would’ve lost their damn minds

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home. Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

Keith Ellison: "The president is openly promoting authoritarianism and tyranny. That is what's happening in America. Most of us thought we would never see it, but here it is right in front of our eyes."

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

Here’s TMZ with a headline every outlet that cares about the truth should have. www.tmz.com/2026/01/24/n...

Be like Alex!

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment. That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant. Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

"Liam, age 5, was the fourth child in the district to be detained by immigration agents in the past two weeks, school officials said. "Two of them are high-schoolers. "One is a 10-year-old girl who was apprehended on her way to school..." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.

Another proud day for America.

Read:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

Several high-ranking officials who investigate fatal shootings by law enforcement officers for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) have reportedly resigned over the department's refusal to investigate Renee Good's killing by an ICE. agent youtube.com/shorts/44an_...

UPDATE: A federal judge in NY has ordered the Trump DOJ to respond by Friday, January 16th, to the request by Rep. @khanna.house.gov and Rep. Thomas Massie for the appointment of a Special Master to get the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

100% this!👇

We’re old enough to remember when Congress existed

When oil and tech CEOs are in the loop about his plans to invade a sovereign nation and Congress isn’t, that’s all you need to know about the legitimacy of his actions.

The Truth about Venezuela.

💯

1991: The United States thinks it has decisively won the Cold War against Russia. 2025: The United States' foreign policy is being dictated by Russia.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

It cannot be an offense to repeat what the law itself clearly states: Soldiers are not required to follow illegal commands. This is political persecution, and it must end now.

WHO AMONG US hasn't sat down 11 times with a journalist and a tape recorder only to be shocked that they'd publish stuff we talked about?

Call your reps and tell them we don’t want to go to war with Venezuela!

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

This is wild! You know the Vanity Fair article with Susie Wiles that everyone’s talking about? Yeah. This is basically the audio version Narrated by Nicolle Wallace, and it’s not “taken out of context”. ☠️😭

🎯 CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER @oliverma2026.bsky.social: “The detention centers are run by private prison companies (like @CoreCivic) — they make millions PER PERSON… that’s why they’re looking for anybody brown, so they can keep stealing from taxpayers.” *THIS IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH*

Caring is an act of resistance in a system that thrives on indifference.

I’m always inspired by the young people I meet through our @obamafoundation.bsky.social Voyagers and Scholars programs. Together, they’re creating change and tackling some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

The Trumps are using the Oval Office as their own personal ATM machine, and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Listen, this administration isn’t “making America great.” It’s targeting our neighbors, tearing families apart, and putting lives on the line. Democrats on Oversight are standing up because this fight isn’t about left or right. It’s about right and wrong. Period.

They preach “life” and “Christian values,” then turn their backs on actual people. This administration has made cruelty the norm, from children to trans folks to immigrants. We deserve better than this.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944
