ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement. "I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish. Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature. Minneapolis, MN

I’m not much for religion but if I were, if a line of clergy flew in to freezing weather to line up and oppose me while singing songs of faith, I might be thinking “are we the baddies?”

Singing

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans. Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror. Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

“I would never wish what we are dealing with on anyone,” Crabtree added. “But if I was going to be in this situation, I am so grateful that I’m in it with these people in this moment.” #MinnesotaStrong #NMStandsWithMN

"Minnesota's Got the ICE Melt!" Protesters chant from FREEZING temperatures in Minneapolis outside the Whipple Federal Building from Minneapolis w/ @jtcestkowski.bsky.social at ICE protests in MINUS 20 DEGREES (-38 wind chill). LIVE NOW ⬇️

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer. The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem. Abolish ICE.

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

Federal agents took the boy from a running car while it was in the family's driveway, the school superintendent said. The officers then told him to knock on the door to his home to see if other people were inside, "essentially using a 5-year-old as bait," she said. https://to.pbs.org/3NBVWHK

Hey I’m endorsing @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social today for US Senate in Michigan. I’ve worked with her for years to keep our kids safe from gun violence. I’ve seen her fight up close - and it’s exactly what we need right now to take on Trump and his corporate allies.

Been banging the drum on this one since he showed up trying to get his DOGE kids access to all those separate silos of data on American citizens and feeding it into AI! No one paid attention. This is it right here. It's always been about "making lists" for ICE and now they got the cash too.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

The Habs can score any time now. Don’t have to wait until the end of the

The Habs need a decent goalie. Montembeault isn’t it.

Montembeault can’t poke check?

Jack Smith on Trump pardoning J6ers: "I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will."

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Jack Smith testifies there was "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" that Trump committed crimes

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

If it wasn’t for the enjoyment I get from watching the Montreal Canadiens and their never say die antics, I would have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. Last night’s winner with 15 seconds left in the game was awesome

SHOOT! AARGH

Who had Danault for first goal? 😂

Sure, that would be nice, but unfortunately Congress is no longer with us

I never had any 'hockey hate.' Truly. But after the 4 nations cup and the last 2 Stanley Cup runs, I can honestly say that I hate Tkachuk and can't stand the Florida Panthers cheap shots/punches to the face after the play to draw a penalty/fighting smaller players 'Tkachuk style' hockey. 😠🏒

Terrorism is “shooting point-blank range into someone’s face when you don’t even have the guts to show your own.” Lots of protest music and new talent showing up on instagram and TikTok ✊ www.instagram.com/reel/DTn-lcL...

These are not the words of a President who thinks rationally. Our allies are forced to take this seriously. It is NOT acceptable for an American President to be threatening aggression or war against our NATO allies. It is WAY past time for this Republican Congress to intervene.

fantastic piece from my colleague @polgreen.bsky.social that gets at something i have been thinking about. what, exactly, is the administration's strategic goal in minnesota? what does "victory" look like for trump and miller?

Yes! I've been telling people this. One real Minnesota cold snap, and these baby boys are going to fall apart.

Reminder: Senate Republicans BLOCKED an extension of the ACA tax credits (again) and are letting YOUR health care premiums skyrocket. And Trump's sorry excuse for a "plan" isn't going to change that.

Gee. Shocker. #Krasnov leaks critical info to his Daddy, Putin. I'm so shocked. 🤦‍♀️

The good news? We’re winning universal childcare faster than anyone expected. The bad news? Ms. Rachel and I have to find some new song inspiration…

This is important & revealing. Gallego is from AZ. He ran to the right of Dems in 2024 on immigration. The fact he's saying this speaks volumes. He sees where the public is on ICE. Tear it down. Build another non-police-state-freak-show immigration enforcement agency.

Again reminded of standing in the middle of my hometown one Saturday during the 2016 EU referendum politely trying to disagree with a Brexit-voting woman who kept saying "how can things get any worse?" - like... please have some imagination, I'm begging you

We keep talking about the midterms as if we're very sure of the issues that are going to decide them, but I think about where the country was a month ago and where it is now, and I honestly can't begin to (and don't want to) imagine the world we'll be living in come November.

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen

Nice goal by Caulfield. Suzuki outmuscled the Senators player - didn’t catch who-along the boards to get him the puck

This is actually the really simple story of the collapse of American democracy. You can explain America’s constitutional collapse in a single coherent sentence:

Eric Swalwell answering a question on how the next governor of California will protect Californians from ICE. “They're going to lose their immunity. They're not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver's license. Good luck walking to work, assholes.”

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

Right-wing influencer Jake Lang is stuck in a window recess against Minneapolis City Hall. He’s soaked with freezing water after counterprotesters hurled water balloons at him. bit.ly/4baGhJn

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

A major victory. A federal judge has ruled that ICE must stop targeting peaceful protesters and legal observers who are not suspected of any crimes.

a few things I want people to get from this: -how tense it is here. I was death-gripping the steering wheel during this, even watching it makes me tense up -how organized the community is. the rapid response networks are ENORMOUS and highly effective -how completely the city is united against ICE

“Simply put, ICE Watch does not spur violence; it reduces it. It’s based on de-escalation tactics that have long historical roots in American antiviolence and civil rights movements, as well as a strong theoretical foundation… about why violence happens and how it can be prevented.”
