AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

Amazing to watch white people, under Trump, get varying sized tastes of the world black Americans have lived in throughout this nation's history.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

He has a large supply from his own dealings with Silicon Valley

I often lose patience w. folks blaming Dems when MAGA has all 3 branches. But the role of the opposition party is to educate the public. Right now Trump is destroying the post WWII order & listening to Chuck you’d think the biggest issue is the cost of eggs.

The President of the United States is not sane. He's a danger to the wellbeing of every American and every world citizen. 2 houses of Congress, the courts, the media, corporate behemoths all know this - and do nothing. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

For those in the cheap seats, Gavin Newsom is aa democratic jd Vance.

Obviously, I'm not going to stop people from giving to campaigns but if we could just shift a few percentage points of the billions spent on ads into organizing, it could transform the country.

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

Instead of anodyne poll-tested slop, how about Dems go with "A vote for any Republican is a vote for Trump's tyranny, corruption, chaos, and war." www.cnn.com/2026/01/16/p...

I normally don't break my schedule for newsletters because breaking news isn't my thing. But things are escalating quickly, so I made an exception. Please read and share these remarks from @governorwalz.mn.gov. www.altrightdelete.news/p/you-need-t...

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

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"

I'm livid and I can barely type this This is the follow-up to the woman who was pulled from her vehicle on the way to the doctor "I'm autistic and I have a brain injury...it takes me a second to understand" a woman pleads as she's carried by her arms and legs and stuffed into the back of an SUV

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Mainstream dems have the political instincts of sloths. A tyrant is declaring his right to murder American citizens for exercising their rights, and dems are going to refuse to talk about it and limit themselves to the poll-tested.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Elon Musk ran an unofficial government agency and sat at the right hand of the President as he waged the broadest attack on civil rights in a century and is openly agreeing with and boosting white supremacists. Yet he earned a $1 trillion pay package and news coverage that rarely mentions this.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

The fact that this happened suggests that the foundations have been rotting for a long time--something most Americans sense without being able to put their finger on it.

Democrats grumbled politely while Trump lied about Jan. 6 and Republicans joined his chorus. Consultants instilled terror that the 2 white racist votes Dems got might jump ship. Democrats follow. They do not lead and that leads the field open to fascists.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Mamdani rescinded every executive order issued by Eric Adams after Adams's indictment, but still the "New York Times" is focusing exclusively on two of those orders that had to do with Israel. There is someone singling out Israel here. And it isn't Zohran Mamdani.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Osita Nwanevu with the perfect rejoinder to that nonsense Compact piece (which way too many self-professed "liberals" took at face value), fleshed out with the types of actually diligent statistics and contextual analyses sorely absent from the conversation: www.ositanwanevu.com/on-race-gend...

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

"We’re monitoring what you do online. Disseminating, writing, or publishing inciting content online is considered a terrorist crime in every sense and may lead to arrest or imprisonment. We have warned you." Israel warns Palestinians that posting about their suffering will be considered terrorism.

Mystified by Dems worriedly telling everyone to be careful because the letter is probably fake. There's no proof it's fake. Just take the win! Act like Republicans for once and run with it. Assume it's real. Donald Trump is a pedophile. Make headlines. Do TikTok videos. Shove it down their throats.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research: they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

It’s really strange the vice president of the United States is a white supremacist, who says white supremacist slogans, who publicly praises and follows the work of white supremacists, and it’s simply not mentioned or discussed in political media

There's a lot of focus on how the dripping antisemitism on the right has created a useful rupture in various parts of Trump's support, and that's true. But I really worry that EVEN those on the less hateful side of that split are ignoring how dangerous some of these terrorists are.

This is the second week in a row that Brennan has had what I will call a regime moment and while I see people wondering what pressure she's under I will say that the fact she is still there doing this job should lead people to question whether she's fine with doing this.

Most US media are oblivious to Melania's role in the Epstein world and do no reporting on it. But Melania was introduced to Trump by Epstein while she was working for a modeling agency which Epstein controlled. This has appeared in UK media, but Melania struggling to keep it unpublished in the US.

85% of CEOs are white men. All but one US President has been a white man. 65% of all elected offices are held by white men. Roughly 30% of the population is white men. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOPIC EVEN???

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

“The Israeli soldiers had rigged [a] can of food with an explosive.” American surgeon Irfan Galaria tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social about the Israeli military’s brutalization of children, and what he witnessed while working at Gaza’s Al-Shifa hospital. Watch: zeteo.com/p/i-did-not-...
