NEW: Top DOJ officials quit after their division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shooting - At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

ICE shut down the oldest Mexican restaurant in my hometown of Forest Lake, Minnesota -- a city that voted overwhelmingly for Trump (and Pete Hegseth's hometown too) Feel safer yet?

The United Kingdom and Germany are literally considering sending troops to Greenland to try and calm US threats. What the hell are we doing? Why are we turning our closest allies against us?

ICE beat a U.S. Marine Veteran, telling her: “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch!” Credit to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social for the interview.

New York City turned OUT. @handsoffnyc.bsky.social ✊❤️

Chaos in Minneapolis as Border Patrol chases and arrests protesters. “Do me a fucking favor and kill yourselves,” another protester yells as agents detain someone. Agents say one protester crashed into their truck.

Earlier today, Border Patrol arrested a man in the parking lot of a gas station in St. Paul. They busted out his drivers side window, ultimately dragging him out of the car, pulled him to the ground, and dragged him into one of BP's SUVs.

Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

Love having a bit of tear gas in my rental car.

They did this for absolutely no reason, as hundreds of witnesses, including me, can attest to

okay I feel absurd asking this but does anyone in the twin cities know where to buy a whistle in minneapolis

UPDATE: “The Washington National Opera decided to move out of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts where it has played since 1971 in perhaps the largest artistic rebuke yet to Trump’s campaign to remake the Kennedy Center in his image.”

AOC: That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

This is brutal 🤬 In Minneapolis, an ICE Goon point-blank pepper-sprayed a peaceful protester without any apparent reason. (1/12|26)

BREAKING: Minnesota and Twin Cities sue the federal government to stop ICE enforcement surge after the fatal shooting in Minneapolis.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

JUST IN: Sen. Mark Kelly releases statement after SUING Pete Hegseth and the Dept. of Defense

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

BREAKING: ICE agents pepper-spray peaceful demonstrators and journalists and deploy chemical irritants in Minneapolis. Our partners @statuscoupnews.bsky.social captured the moment live on the ground as it happened.

The Globe and Mail

And the managing partners at Paul Weiss, Skadden, Willkie, Milbank, Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, A&O Shearman, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, and Cadwalader. But instead, they all made deals with the administration.

Renee Good should still be here. She was a beloved child of God, with inherent value and infinite worth. She was murdered by her own government in broad daylight in what is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the planet.

She was angry, we are all angry. She’s an example for all of us. Well done!!!!!

Trump posts that he’s “Acting President of Venezuela”

Know your rights

📣 Know your rights!   We keep us safe: share this post with a friend who might be protesting this weekend.

Just in case anyone has doubts about Trump's plans for the midterms, he now openly admits that he wishes he had order troops to seize all voting machines in 2020. With no one in the White House, Pentagon, or DOJ to stop him, he'll do it this time--unless Congress stops him first.

Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next? Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant. That matters….

PBS News notes this Sunday will be “PBS News Weekend’s” last due to federal budget cuts

Tonight marked the last broadcast of PBS News Weekend for the foreseeable future. As the show signs off the air, anchor John Yang looks back at some of our top stories and highlights over the years. https://to.pbs.org/4pxYe7W

Thousands of nurses go on strike at several major New York City hospitals

The yawning canyon between the bravery of ordinary people trying to protect their neighbors and exercising their First Amendment rights versus the cowardice, silence, and capitulation by elites is something to behold.

Cover reveal. It's about how & why colonies/states controlled international & domestic migration until 1888, why in the late 19th c the feds took over, & what it was like for politically disfavored groups to live under that arrangement of power. You can't understand voluntary migration history 1/

They are illegally stopping and questioning small children on their way to and from school. Maybe someone should report on that.

It looks like what is going on in Tehran, but it's the United States of America. Tonight in Minneapolis. Federal agents are deploying tear gas and sting balls against activists on the street outside the Whipple Building, where ICE operations are based.

Minneapolis is completely unsafe right now. ICE has been in 6 different Targets in the last 24 hours. They are setting up checkpoints on highways pulling all the brown people over. I scared away unmarked ICE from the market by our house after dropping kids off. #AbolishICE #Minneapolis

ICE at Midway Target and seem to possible be leaving. Lots of community members here

If you listen to the #GOP rhetoric, the problem isn't that innocent people are getting shot in the face. The problem that we're upset over innocent people are getting shot in the face.

Confirmed federal agents also going house to house today in Columbia Heights, a near-north racially diverse suburb of Minneapolis.

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

WARNING St. Paul: We are still receiving reports of door-to-door operations in the area. Tonight is a night to look out for your neighbors and check in on one another.
