rare to get such a clear glimpse into the mind of someone whose response to problems in his personal life was to blame black people

Honestly, I think this is a tough call. Miller is the throughline of these policies, the architect, and the enforcer. That said, he's been so successful that it would certainly continue in much the same way without him. But Trump loses his spine and comfort Nazi.

“There can be no talk of “winning” until ICE and Border Patrol have completely left the streets of Minnesota. That’s the rock-bottom condition. To tolerate anything less would be an insult to the people of Minnesota.” www.thebulwark.com/p/this-photo...

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

It would be great to put him on a watch list before he flees to Argentina for “retirement”

“What they don’t want you to know is that George Soros and his far-left billionaire friends hired Alex Pretti to act as a dependable, beloved pillar of his community for decades,” said President Donald Trump

When someone has a decades long reputation for lying and not keeping agreements, it doesn't make sense to expect that their word means something,

Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

Until next month...

I really think those 7 Democrats would have voted for that bill regardless of what their consultants told them

“All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed, they must rely exclusively on force. And force alone cannot last.” — Hannah Arendt As cruel as all of this feels, & it does. The cruelty is not the point. The corruption is. Keep exposing the fraud, we can topple the force.

It was kind of a tossed-off gag in a blog last week but the ICE/CBP forces in Minnesota really are an expansion team made up of the most readily available players in a depressingly glutted violence worker marketplace. Not even quad-A types. Independent league guys with well-known makeup issues.

“OUR HUMANITY” is under assault by our own government.

Freedom is when I don’t have to pay taxes and people who exercise their constitutional rights are beaten, shoved into camps, and shot in the back or the face by masked agents of the state

Chicago! The Bob Loquercio Auto Group's executive VP says the murder of Alex Pretti "is EXACTLY what I voted for." Please take your business elsewhere and let them know that you are doing so. www.blautogroup.com/

We’ve placed the available videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis today into the same synchronised timeline and are continuing to analyse further.

It’s -2000 degrees below zero. You just flashbanged yourself twenty feet from the front desk. Three hours sleep cause locals who hate you bang garbage cans outside your room all night. The Home2Suits has fallen and you’re not getting that signing bonus for another 4.5 years. Ass. It’s all ass, dude.

BREAKING: With no explanations. TikTok has throttled or frozen individual videos criticizing ICE and simply disabled entire accounts whether the video pertains to ICE or not - and not even offered spurious explanations or notices #TikTokCensorship

"These billionaires are now not happy being rich and richer. They really want, now, political power."

this is right. you don't have to work out every detail. start with no. go from there.

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

“Without waiting for facts, the Trump team has advanced one-sided narratives to justify each of the killings .. “.. Trump has found that putting out a story line early and repeating it often can .. convince a sizable share of the public..” @peterbakernyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/u...

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - George Santayana 1905

Pick. A. Side. If you turn away from what's happening and have ANY political power, you've made your choice. You're supporting the killing and kidnapping of innocent people. And people around the US -- and the world -- are bearing witness.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

It was not a great idea to elect an anthropomorphized sundowning boomer's racist Facebook feed as president.

It’s possible the users of the platforms have different values and priorities, and this one isn’t aligned to yours.

Justice for our queen 😭

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

I'd wager this is the angriest statement ever issued by the Nobel Peace Prize people...

Trump has transformed the justice system into a Putin-style autocratic protection racket. The wealthy are not audited or investigated, if convicted they are pardoned. Political opponents are targeted. Unidentified masked agents grab people off the street, and protesters are shot.

I've lived in Ireland >5 years now (and been a citizen for 20). The number of Americans fleeing the US I meet has gone up sharply in the last six months.

In just the 24 hours we've seen a MAGA candidate spew open racism against a fellow Black Republican and the fundraising plea for the ICE agent who killed Renee Good includes anti-Semitic BS directed at Jewish Mayor of Minneapolis. This is MAGA.

A #psychiatrist analyses the mind of #JonathanRoss at the moment he murdered #ReneeGood #fckice youtu.be/3tR3jPRYEsQ?...

The bloodlust we are seeing from MAGA world over the murder of Renee Good must be a wake up call for anyone who still didn't grasp how dangerous MAGA is as a movement. If you ever wondered how Germans became Nazis you are seeing it play out in real time.
