What the WHAT with this headline @startribune.com ???

Shameful, nonsensical whataboutism from a guy who’s supposed to be a serious establishment Republican.

How it started/how it's going

Elections matter.

State terror in the US is not a new thing that Miller concocted, it was the modus operandi of the Confederate in all but name Jim Crow states. And it often works hand in hand with actual terrorists that are working from the bottom up to achieve the effects the state is seeking from the top down. 9/

The power of the nation-state is being directed at the citizenry through threats & acts of violence, all done under the color of law, including extrajudicial executions, in order to coerce the citizenry into compliance through fear & intimidation. This includes using legal power/lawfare. 7/

Brief operational term of art 🧵 to help better define what we're experiencing. What we're experiencing is state terror. I've seen a lot of terms thrown around for what the Trump admin is doing w/ICE, CBP, & other federal law enforcement (LE). The now largely out of use term is state terror. 1/

Training cannot correct for deficiencies resulting from a lack of vetting. Remember what federal LEOs are normally screened for (CARLA F. BAD): Character Associates Reputation Loyalty Ability Finances Bias Alcohol/Addictions Drugs ICE is not being vetted against any of these. Shut it down.

I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.

Sorry. Has someone said this? 1) Trump can’t impose tariff unilaterally 2) Trump has no $$ to buy Greenland 3) Trump has no authority to leave NATO

Walz: "So carry your phone with you at all times. And if you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record. Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

We don't need to play games parsing US law or international treaties to figure out if it's legal for Trump to do this. It's not. It's crystal clear it's all illegal. Everyone's just pretending we're not at the point where the thing to do is to remove him. It's an advanced state of political denial.

This week's comic on the radical libertarian fantasies of colonizing Greenland

We'll all be paying more for goods because people didn't vote for @kamalaharris.com

Denmark needs to get a hold of the Epstein files. Greenland might be safe now.

In my latest Substack, I explain why every video of what ICE is doing in Minnesota (or anywhere) is a powerful form of resistance open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Folks, PLEASE, if you are sick, have been around someone who is sick, or have a loved one who is immunocompromised, mask up. Normalise wearing masks in public spaces during major outbreaks, flu season, and when you are sick. It saves lives.

I block racists and antisemites.

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.”

I'm still here... and also still going and never giving up, are Ukrainians, freezing in the dark, sitting in trenches or first responders rescuing the latest victims of Russia's war crimes. This is THE daily 🧵for Day 1424 - coffee donations welcome🙏(see link in my bio)

This map exposes the Greenland lie. The US used to have a massive military footprint here. Today, they operate just ONE base. If Trump were actually worried about Russian vessels, he would simply open more bases, which Denmark allows

If you weaponize the DOJ to intimidate elected officials, that’s not “politics.” It’s a federal crime. Retaliatory investigations violate civil‑rights and obstruction laws. Anyone turning law enforcement into a threat is advertising their own liability.

If I'm Harvard or any other university whose funding is being threatened by Trump & Vance on the pretext of their supposed concern about antisemitism, I'm including this photo in the filing to get those threats dismissed.

This is an unabashedly white supremacist regime, and ICE is the regime's racist militia: www.throughline.news/p/the-white-...

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Russia loves Trump’s message on Greenland, as Putin has openly said. It is worth asking whether this was a Russian idea. It certainly divides and could destroy NATO, and it distracts from Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

Executed, in cold blood, by orders of the state. A crime against humanity, a gross and clear violation of international law.

If you look at all the latest the ICE videos and recruitment imagery, it's clear they are attempting to recruit people for a campaign of redemptive fascist violence.

Demand that the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) cut its ties to ICE

FYI, folks, www.thecity.nyc/2026/01/14/c...

Many have observed the similarities between Noem's ICE and the Proud Boys. But folks, I have the receipts. I reviewed tapes from 2016-2017 of Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes. Everything Noem is doing in Minneapolis is laid out in his vision from then. www.salon.com/2026/01/16/h...

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

Machado presenting Trump with her Nobel has to be the stupidest thing a peace laureate can do. She literally is supporting a violent dictator and helping him whitewash his crimes. Completely against everything the Prize stands for. The Nobel committee should rescind her prize.

Putin, failing in his east European war, summons his American clients to organize a diversion in western Europe.

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Karoline Leavitt wears a cross and claims to be a devout Catholic (she is not). The Catholic Church does not use the term “illegal aliens.”

My take on this is that this is a sign of enormous weakness from Trump. It's a tell. He knows the walls are closing in on him politically and he'd like to avoid the Democratic electoral tsunami that's coming in November.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Stunning photos from Minneapolis, including this one by John Locher for the Associated Press. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

Have you ever wondered why Germans didn’t do anything about Hitler? Well, the rest of the world is wondering exactly that about Americans and Trump.

Worth every second

What on earth @housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ????

Imagine if we took the money being wasted on ICE raids across the country and put it toward SNAP.

Celebrating some Democratic wins last night: In FL, Chris Dzadovsky won a seat on Fort Pierce City Commission, flipping it blue. In CT, Larry Pemberton won his state house race, and in VA, Gretchen Bulova and Margaret Franklin won their state house races. Congratulations all!
