This administration doesn't care about our health. The only thing they care about is violently kidnapping humans and separating families. We don't want our taxpayer dollars to fund their hate. 💡Why not find our healthcare instead? #FundHealthcareNotICE

Trump has removed signs at George Washington’s house in Philadelphia that inform the public about the history of slavery and signs at Fort Sumter that inform the public that the fort is at risk due to climate change. Because history and science are like COVID: If you ignore them, they go away.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

My favorite story like this is the possibly apocryphal tale of the Bronx Home News headline in 1917: BRONX MAN LEADS RUSSIAN REVOLUTION (because Trotsky had spent 6 months in small apartment in Crotona Park) I have looked in vain for an image of this delightful front page for many many years.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? No, seriously, though, where? Will they be here soon? Because the fucking country is sliding into moronofascism.

Couldn’t agree more with Sen Gallego (D-AZ). Democrats especially, but even more so Republicans in the Senate shouldn’t vote to give more money to Greg Bovino and Tom Homan’s goon squads. We need to #FundHealthcareNotICE for gods sake people’s premiums are through the roof. Shut down🧊🧊

How do we protect our constituents and the Constitution? Rep. Delia Ramirez is clear: ✅ Cut and claw back ICE funding. ✅ Prosecute masked agents committing violence. ✅ Impeach fascist officials like Kristi Noem. 🗣️Accountability is not optional. #FundHealthcareNotICE

The head of Trump DOJ's Civil Rights Division boosts prediction markets placing 36% odds she'll be able to prosecute Don Lemon for his journalism, after a federal magistrate judge found no probable cause of a crime.

Below is our story about the skyrocketing number of kids detained by ICE. We cover the facility where Liam is now being held-- parents said food had worms and mold, and kids were so distressed they hit themselves in the face and wet themselves. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/12/17/c...

Donald Trump returned from the World Economic Forum in Davos without securing agreement on his Greenland demands, facing public rejection that his niece Mary Trump called a devastating humiliation.

And join us, and our allies across the country in standing in solidarity with Minnesota tomorrow, 1/23. We need ICE Out for Good. iceoutforgood.org

Seven House Democrats just voted with Republicans to fund this DHS bill, despite the ICE tactics in Minneapolis and elsewhere, instead of using this small amount of leverage to take a stand. www.newsweek.com/seven-democr...

Genius. Sound on. 🔊

Scam. Trump's new scam, the peace board has a stolen logo of North America - he is trying to replace the United Nations, but the entrance fee of 1 billion goes in his pocket. It's a scam. Davos onlookers notice Trump’s ‘board of peace’ logo resembles UN emblem www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Canada was founded on these choices.

The notion of charging a black journalist under the KKK Act because he covered a pro-immigrant protest at a white Christian nationalist church is just so cartoonishly goddamned sinister. It also won't go anywhere. But they're absolutely relishing it. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

UPDATE: Now, 215 Minneapolis General Strike solidarity actions are being held around the country. This could create serious momentum for strikes in other cities where ICE attacks. paydayreport.com/minneap/

No work. No school. No shopping. Tomorrow (Jan. 23rd), Minnesota stands together in nonviolent moral action to demand an end to ICE abuses and accountability for lives lost. #ICEOutOfMN Learn why ➡️ spinach-primrose-6he6.squarespace.com

When Republicans STRIPPED YOU OF HEALTH INSURANCE to fund a big tax cut for billionaires, that's not completely all of what they spent the money on doing. Trump and his allies gave ICE a whopping $85 BILLION. It is the highest-funded US agency now. #FundHealthcareNotICE

MPR News photojournalist Ben Hovland observed the arrests and said the agents appear to have rear-ended a silver-colored SUV carrying the two minors. Agents took a teenage boy into custody. The driver, a teenage girl, was seen handing agents a U.S. passport youtu.be/_O5IF0Ld8L4

Only seven Democrats vote against bill to fund Homeland Security amid ICE crackdowns

You know the old saying ‘a prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich’? Well, Pam Bondi tried really hard to indict Don Lemon, and failed. He must be kosher.

Grant Stern @grantstern.bsky.social Patriotic Americans FLEEING Republican Party & new polls show swelling taboos of independents who are LEAVING MAGA BEHIND while Donald Trump runs America into the ground Democrats need to work harder to win these swing voters Even Newsmax is worried about it!

218 people voted to fund the child kidnapping ring and masked death squads.

Trump is now calling on Pam Bondi to prosecute Jack Smith.

Lieu uses his questioning time to contrast how Biden let Jack Smith operate independently with how Trump orders his underlings to open politicized investigations into his political foes

Johnson: “Did your investigation uncover evidence sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump knew that his claim the election was stolen was false?” Smith: “Yes it did”

Trump sues JPMorgan Chase and Jamie Dimon for at least $5bn

Q: Did you uncover evidence to prove Trump knew his claim the election was stolen was false? SMITH: Yes Q: And Trump claimed it was stolen while he privately acknowledged he lost? SMITH: Yes Q: Yet on the 5th anniversary of J6, Trump still promoted the stolen election theory on a govt webpage

Feds arrest two black women who disrupted a Minneapolis church service run by a pastor who is an ICE official, but a judge rejected a third criminal complaint against ex CNN anchor Don Lemon, who was reporting on the protest. An NBC source described Bondi as “enraged” by that decision.

The upcoming midterm elections have at least the potential to change the balance of power in Washington. “2026 will be the year for pushing back against Trump with a ballot in one hand and a lawsuit in the other,” Amy Davidson Sorkin writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/s4fzda

OPINION: Mark Shanahan, University of SurreyThe meeting and venue were the same, but the style and tone of the two most anticipated keynote speeches at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss town of Davos could not have been more different.

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.)

Donald Trump made some improvisations in his Davos speech as a way of setting himself apart from other world leaders, a therapist has suggested.
