Angry? We should be. Show up this afternoon with @handsoffnyc.bsky.social to reject ICE terror.

All I see is federal agents getting violent with residents, over and over, while Democratic leaders repeatedly tell those residents to calm down and not do anything in response. This is not sustainable.

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.

From the Times Union editorial board: The Rensselaer County executive appears to think his department heads aren't accountable to the county legislature. Lawmakers in both parties need to disabuse him of that notion.

The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION. Absolutely not. ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

"ice is bad" means many things this week to an atmospheric scientist who cares about other people

Today is a solemn reminder that because of Trump and Republicans, women across America have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers did. My full statement on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade:

everyday I am more affirmed with my Kamala Harris vote. We should not be doing this and to not denounce it loudly is a dereliction of duty

Trump reaching new lows: only 37% approval & 71% of adults say the country is out of control. -27 points underwater on inflation -10 points underwater on immigration -7 points underwater on handling crime Plus, only 9% support using military force to seize Greenland.

if only we had been warned

I made an ICE block counter ice.0x0.boo

ICE/CBP is following school busses now. My husband (a school bus driver) was just in an urgent all-hands meeting about it this afternoon.

So what have I been up to lately? Well I am working to flip a seat in the NYS Legislature blue! Supporting Chloe for her strong background on green energy and a need to address affordability through housing, childcare, and healthcare reform. Support us here! secure.actblue.com/donate/chloe...

A federal judge in Minnesota has ordered limits on ICE tactics against peaceful protesters, including barring retaliation, unlawful arrests, use of crowd control against nonviolent observers, and stopping vehicles without reasonable suspicion.

Breaking news: A federal judge barred Department of Homeland Security agents from arresting people peacefully protesting ICE officers in Minneapolis unless they are suspected of criminal activity or obstruction.

Tensions between residents and federal immigration officers continued to rise in the Twin Cities area after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent.

We are relieved that in Tincher v. Noem et al. the court has issued a preliminary injunction. The ACLU-MN is hopeful that it will prevent further First Amendment violations like the ones that have been harming Minnesotans since the start of “Operation Metro Surge.” aclu-mn.org/cases/tincher-v-noem

An international embarrassment.

An icon. She gets it.

This is more felony murder appropriate than most so-called felony murders.

Devastating new CNN poll on the anniversary of Trump’s first year in office: voters think he’s made everything worse — crime, free speech, health, global security. Literally every promise. www.cnn.com/2026/01/16/p...

Sen Hickenlooper’s speech about NCAR

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Senator Susan Collins killed the amendment to protect the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) -- perhaps the world's premier research center for work on #weather, #climate, models, and remote sensing. Remember that.

21 y/o activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous to. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. This story is not getting enough attention.

Breaking: Senate overwhelmingly passes cloture motion on HR 6938, the "minibus" budget bill that will fund most fed science agencies. CO senators voted no, still in opposition over lack of wording protecting NCAR. Bill moves to debate before final vote. More: tinyurl.com/yfsvjmtj

A majority of voters (52%) think the U.S. invasion of Venezuela was mainly for oil. Only 37% of voters think that increasing U.S. control over Venezuela’s oil should be a higher priority than investing in the development of clean energy like solar and wind in the U.S. (59%).

NEW: After the U.S. invasion of Venezuela, a majority of voters think Trump is a “pro-war” president, including 61% of Independents.

My dude, the Baileys are in the streets, protecting their neighbors.

President of Moldova Maia Sandu stated that if there were a referendum on unification with Romania, she would vote yes because: "It is getting more and more difficult for a small country like Moldova to survive as a democracy, as a sovereign country, and of course to resist Russia."

The Senate should not vote to fund the government while communities in America are under assault from the government.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

North Carolina Republican in December of 2024 passed a brazen legislation to takeover control of election administration despite Democrats' win in the governor's race. Now they're flexing their new power: planning to cut Sunday voting + campus sites to harm Dems. www.wral.com/news/nccapit...

Mary Peltola's decision to run for Senate in Alaska widens the battlefield in a year where Democrats face a tough map.

Republicans like Mike Turner talk about how angry they are with Trump's actions—Turner said last month, "You can’t be America first and pro-Russia"—but it doesn't matter much when they keep seeking reelection in competitive seats and voting Trump's way most of the time.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.

Science is not doing OK. Regardless of the bipartisan minibus that should be going through, science is under attack. We’ve seen how congressional budgets are being treated. Scientists are being sidelined, ignored, and fired. We need to restore society’s respect for science and scientists.

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the legal risks that come from merely being pregnant have shot up in the United States.

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

NEW: @jamestalarico.bsky.social kicks off statewide door knocking operation with 40 canvass events in 20 cities this weekend. With $13 million raised and 13,000 volunteers, @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social has what it takes to win in November.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Breaking News: The Washington National Opera is leaving the Kennedy Center after President Trump’s intervention upset artists and donors. The opera has performed there since 1971.

You know Trump thinks what happened in Minnesota is pretty damn bad, because he’s been relatively quiet about it and changes the subject while constantly sending the absolute biggest pieces of shit in his administration (high bar) out there to defend it.

Last night, the House voted to restore vital Affordable Care Act benefits and help drive down healthcare costs for millions. The Senate must now act to pass this bill and ease the burden of rising costs being felt by so many Americans, including one of my constituents from NY-20, Mekhiya.

every republican president destroys the economy

The battle to save NCAR has faded from the headlines, but it is not over. www.eenews.net/articles/tak... Call your Congressional reps and ask them to add language explicitly protecting NCAR to the spending package: 5calls.org/issue/ncar-n...

Rep. Wesley Hunt (TX-R): "The bottom line is this: when a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep you life" The Right went from Don't Tread on Me to Comply or Die in 12 months.
