NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

Powerful testimony from Renee Good's brother. "Our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. And it has not."

The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary. It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

Quite the statistic.

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan. It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash. “ICE GTFO OF MN” Minneapolis February 4, 2026

Judge rules members of Congress can inspect all ICE detention centers without appointment. "...DHS Sec. Kristi Noem re-implemented a notice requirement…..[which] required 7-days’ warning for visits to [ICE] facilities... funded exclusively by the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’..." thehill.com/regulation/c...

So the “elected” President with his elected majority House and Senate says they have to takeover elections because Dems cheat. Make that argument make sense.

'This Is a Wake-Up Call': Critics Disgusted as Billionaire Bezos Guts Washington Post www.commondreams.org/news/bezos-w...

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

I’m also freaked out by the business owner here legally from Mexico who was taken to ER by ICE with 8 fractures to his skull and 5 bleeds in his brain. ICE said he ran into a wall. They wanted to cuff his ankles to his hospital bed. Who did this? Prosecute those agents and lock them up!

I don't think I'd heard Epstein's voice before this. I was expecting him to sound more... what's the word... EVIL!

Greg Bovino is leaving the spotlight before people really got to know him. No man should eat a soggy biscuit and not have it celebrated! Here’s a list of facts that I’ve compiled from Reddit:

Attorney General Pam Bondi said on social media that Lemon, Minnesota-based journalist Georgia Fort, and two others were arrested early Friday "at my direction." He was targeted for arrest for reporting on a protest. Don: "We're not part of the activists, but we're here just reporting on them."

We have the power to stop ICE from terrorizing communities and putting lives at risk. It’s time for the Senate to step up.

On point as always 👏🏼

If true that Greg Bovino is being demoted and forced to retire, it’s because of us. The resistance. Now let’s step it up and get rid of Kristi Noem for good.

Multiple national gun-rights organizations, as well as a prominent Minnesota gun rights group, have expressed horror at top Trump administration officials’ criticism of Pretti for being armed with a handgun that he had a legal permit to carry. FINALLY. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Greg Bovino is leaving the spotlight before people really got to know him. No man should eat a soggy biscuit and not have it celebrated! Here’s a list of facts that I’ve compiled from Reddit:

Again, even David Shor explicitly conceded that AOC's argument of "Republicans are looting your healthcare money to fund state-sponsored executions and kidnappings, so Democrats need to abolish ICE to claw back that money for your ACA" is the single most popular message among voters

Renee Good’s last words were, “I’m not mad.” Alex Pretti’s last act was trying to help a woman ICE agents had shoved. Damn, Minnesota. You sure do make good people.

UFC has gone full fascist. In any normal world this guy would be out of a job.

We are not here to debate. We are here to dismantle. ICE’s violence is not “unfortunate.” It’s intentional. It’s deadly. This weekend — we gather to demand accountability — and to build power. #ICEOutForGood social.demcast.com/s/G9n7pPTc

Renee Nicole Good’s last words: “It’s fine dude. I’m not mad at you.” Jonathan Ross (ICE thug that murdered her) first words after shooting her: “fucking bitch”

Renee Nicole Good's former neighbor: "She is not a terrorist, not an extremist. That was just a mom who loved her kids and loved her spouse."

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13. I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

Army vet here. Someone recently asked me if I recommend joining the military. Normally, yes. It’s a great way to access health care and college without going into debt. Now? No. Hell no! My reasoning was we could be at war with anyone anytime and it wouldn’t surprise me. This was 3 days ago.

Trump also said it would be “very tough” for Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to lead the country. The president said Machado, who has applauded Maduro’s removal, “doesn’t have the support within or the respect within the country.” Trump just described his own status perfectly.

Reminder: Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras was convicted in a U.S. court in March 2024 of drug trafficking and weapons charges for his role in a conspiracy that funneled over 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.. Trump issued a full pardon in November 2025.

People of BlueSky: who here isn’t seeing their family over the holidays? I’d really value hearing your experiences and connecting.

My family is celebrating Christmas. My newly political family is celebrating Christmas. My newly political Roman Catholic family brings partisan politics to the table. Not faith. My family’s culture is Republicanism. Trump’s brand. My family isn’t my family.

Survivor season 49 has the most frustrating cast in a longgg time. People keep doing the opposite of what's in their best interest. The game theory fan in me gets so frustrated when it plays out like this.

“the speech was reportedly shorter than usual due to the insistence of TV bosses that it didn’t eat too much into the finale of reality show Survivor.” CBS: Survivor finale is tonight so be quick. Trump: okay boss!

My beautiful Rue. aka Rue Shiesty. aka Amaru. aka Rue (from Hunger Games). aka the love of my life. 💙💙💙

This dude has no clue what's happening. He's completely unhinged and detached from reality.

”In the previous episode, Trump started a clandestine affair with his vice president, J.D. Vance, as Satan gets closer to the due date for their baby together, the Antichrist.” South Park is wild and wildly popular.

Trump’s Approval Rating Negative With Every Pollster For First Time Ever Trump currently has an average disapproval rating of 55 percent, while 41 percent approve (The New York Times' polling aggregator) Polls included: Morning Consult, Ipsos, HarrisX, Quinnipiac, YouGov, and Pew Research

Criminal. If we’re going for accuracy.

Miss Piggy FTW

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice. 📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber. Prosecute her and everyone involved.

Magnus vs Hans Neimann is cinema. It’s Titled Tuesday (11 rounds of 5+0). Fit context Magnus effectively refused to play Hans for years so seeing them play is a treat. FYI: Hans-Hikaru drew in an earlier round.

On 11/22/63, 62 years ago on this day, JFK was assassinated.

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

Jelly Roll went on to say that due to the way the tour was set up without buses, “I don’t like it… I’m not having fun. I want to go home.” Dude is softer than a jelly roll.
