I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

ICE detained a 5-year-old Minnesota boy coming home from school + took him and his dad to Texas, school officials say. The family has an active asylum case + entered the US at a port of entry. "They’re taking children. They're not violent criminals. They're little kids," the superintendent told me.

“We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy… The powerful have their power. But we have something, too: the capacity to stop pretending.” — Canadian PM Mark Carney at Davos, basically announcing divorce from America and receiving a standing ovation

Government shouldn’t be in the business of mandating what content media outlets must air. Whether it’s threatening lawsuits over editorial judgment or telling broadcasters what games they must carry, compelling speech is still a clear First Amendment violation.

POLICE CHIEF: “If it’s happening to our officers, it pains me to think how many of our community members are falling victim to this every day.” ICE is even racially profiling off-duty Black & Brown cops— including pulling guns on one and knocking her phone out of her hand.

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

This thread though

Someday corporations and technology companies will pretend they were always against this

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

National media: Please stop describing what’s happening in Minneapolis as “protests.” There has been a modest, sustained protest outside the Whipple federal building, about 10 miles from downtown, but... 1/3

Nasra Ahmed was shoved to the ground and detained by ICE agents, suffering cuts and bruises to her face and legs Ahmed, a U.S. citizen born in Minnesota, spent two days in jail before being released without charges

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Make no mistake, he is justifying violence if he objects to the outcome of an election. Keep that in mind as we prepare for 2026.

Have to post this now, because I could just keep collecting examples forever... This is an occupation. youtu.be/FG6TfpIAy9Q (Posted without VO earlier.)

I can’t even enjoy milk in peace.

Just hours after Renee Good was shot, one member of Customs and Border Patrol’s elite tactical team on an adjacent street fired a less-lethal weapon five times in less than five minutes, with four shots aimed at the faces of protestors. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

For every ICE arrest that draws a crowd with cameras and whistles, there are an untold number happening quietly when no one is watching.

Absolutely definitive video analysis of Renee Good killing here. Look at the image framed in red. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

This hits hard

It annoys me so much when this dorkass loser does his whole Foghorn Leghorn "I'm just a good ole boy from the South who don't understand these elites" schtick with that syrupy drawl he puts on. John Kennedy is NOT from the sticks. He comes from a long line of southern elites. (thread)

Great thread confirming my suspicions that John Kennedy’s good-ole-boy schtick is just that - completely performative.

Reposted somebody else's post of this Telemundo article yesterday on Enrique Tarrio bragging about being a member of ICE, but it's way too thinly reported. It's from that dataset that hasn't been confirmed and has weird problems, and him dicking around on Twitter isn't confirmation, so I unreposted.

That is what was relayed

Frey: "This is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation our city is being put in. We cannot be at a place in America where we have 2 governmental agencies literally fighting one another. We are put in this position b/c we have approximately 600 police officers & there are 3,000 ICE agents."

Ice has been constantly outside of our schools, causing many of them to have to go into lockdown. After the shooting at Annunciation earlier this year, this is only further traumatizing our students & educators. Thank you to the parents, educators, and community members helping keep students safe.

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community. They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

Council members, state and county lawmakers and community members share firsthand accounts of ICE attacks and demand justice to prevent further harm.

Laura Jedeed on applying for a job with ICE: "I expected them to Google me, and they didn't ... they sent me a final job offer ... what's disturbing is we don't know who is wearing these masks with guns in our city. We don't know if they have domestic violence convictions."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

NEW: Restrained by three white men for attempted shoplifting, a Black teen died from asphyxiation. His father refused to accept that no one would be held responsible. More than a decade later, his idea of justice has shifted — and may finally be achieved.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

there is no coming back from this without prosecutions up and down the entire chain of command

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you
