I know this is a joke or snark or whatever but I think we DO need a historical account of 1. Fox News 2. Obama birth certificate 3. Gamergate 4. Alex Jones et al 5. Election denial & Jan 6th All the other fake crises were just fleshing out this basic decent into meme-ification of discourse.

Would you know how to walk out on the street and by a gas mask? Pam. It’s a painting respirator. You get them at Home Depot

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

It’s time. I want the see Steve Kerr’s Warriors and Minneapolis’ Timberwolves agree that they simply cannot play this game tonight. A strike in solidarity with the besieged city and its murdered and abducted residents.

The Minnesota Timberwolves absolutely need to postpone their game today. Stop pretending everything is normal.

The Timberwolves are playing a game in 2.5 hours?? Late capitalism fascism is a mind fuck, man

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

No idea what the legal definition of “brandishing” is but I guaran-fucking-tee you can’t brandish anything when you’re on your back getting manhandled by a half dozen paramilitary goons.

We will prevail over the paramilitary goons and then we’re going out to dinner to celebrate!

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

I’ve been making monthly donations to Joyce Uptown Foodshelf for a couple years now and reading their email update today gave me chills. - 175k donations in 2 weeks - from 39 states - multiple countries - new plans for distribution - school partnerships Good job friends. We are going to win. ❤️

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

Kristi is lying but she might be on to something… Minneapolis IS more aggressive. Why? I have to believe the experience of burning down a police precinct building gives us a unique perspective on what is possible/necessary when protecting ourselves from state oppression. 🔥✊❤️

This is extraordinary. They aren’t just kicking the ICE agents out. They’re temporarily closing the hotel altogether due to “heightened safety concerns in St. Paul.”

Today's good cause is the Cedar Riverside Protection Alliance. Their Venmo ID is CRwork26. Let the donating begin.

When you run a fascist out of Minneapolis, you are entitled to a traditional feast that honors your Minnesota ancestors.

FROZEN PICKLE YELLS AT ICE

This journalist is getting ratioed for suggesting we donate (!?) to the billionaire owner of the Star-Tribune. Almost as if there’s a story there about how progressives feel about the Strib and how the Strib feels about the mayor, police chief, etc. If only we had a journalist around. Alas.

Here is a little more local reporting on the incident minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/14/s...

“You can’t come back here, bro,” Wooten can be heard in the video saying to an agent wearing a mask and sunglasses. “I’m talking to your manager,” the agent said. Wooten responded: “No, you’re talking to security, I’m in charge.” ICE left empty-handed. mynorthnews.org/stories/2026...

this patrol stuff is starting to feel like neighborhood watch in 2020 where people who typically don't notice what's happening around them much suddenly are and they're suspicious of everything and everyone around them and now they're talking to random people at bus stops at 10am and quizzing them

Would you guys please shut up and go to bed. Some of us have birds in the morning.

I should go to bed, but before I do I'm going to lay onto you the two facts that keep me up at night. The first is chili peppers come from the Americas. So before 1492 Indian, Chinese and Thai food only had black pepper, white pepper, and sichuan pepper to make food... hot. Think on that

Smart kid. This is why the Republico-fascists are changing the text books.

I’m old enough to remember when John Oliver made this joke about Wisconsin and Egypt. www.huffpost.com/entry/the-da...

“Paramilitary goons” is a term we need to use more. I was trying to explain to my FIL that ICE goons aren’t actually law enforcement officers. They’re not cops. DOJ has cops. The Department of Homeland Security is a paramilitary organization. Boomers have a hard time with the concept.

The Epstein coverup is going so well they thought they would release a second season with an all new cast.

- those two guys floating in the ocean were a danger to America - Jan 6ers are patriots - 2020 election denial - very fine people on both sides … - Obama’s birth certificate Hate to say it but if the past 15 years are any indication he’s going to get away with it.

Once I had a big fight with a young reporter who insisted the details of a shooting differed from my reporting which was based on videos of the incident. I illustrated how his reporting could not be true & he yelled back I’M A REAL REPORTER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT SOURCES anyway that was wes lowery

I tried my best to make sense of today.

I want the media to understand just how close what happened today is to where George Floyd was murdered. 0.8 miles.

Looking back on my personal year in writing. A thread of some of my favorites. The first is easy. I’ve been wanting to put Kukathas in conversation with Heath for years. In fact I tried to get the former to review the latter’s essay on immigration, but he ended up being too busy. It was finally time
