How I'm dealing with my stress: I bought a 3d printer and am producing 100 whistles at a time. 1000 heading to Minneapolis tomorrow.

It's time. We are beyond finding a compromise with this.

Since folks keep asking: I'm printing this whistle. Designed in Chicago, fast to print, compact to fit a lot on a plate, and surprisingly loud. makerworld.com/en/models/19...

Not long after shooting another person in Minneapolis, ICE invaded a private home with flash bangs and tactical gear, and broke down the door. Minneapolis is under siege.

Plus one.

2/ "Another way you can help: Witness. ... You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct their activities. So carry your phone with you at all times. ... Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans ... to bank evidence for future prosecution."

1/ Ciji Graham was the mother of 2-year-old SJ, a sister to 9 younger siblings, a beloved friend. She's also the 7th case we’ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care. This is her story.

🚨BREAKING: ICE unleashes ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical ammunition at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. Several protesters struck. Our reporter @zdroberts.bsky.social struck in the head. "I got hit in the head really bad." LIVE NOW ⬇️

I know this won’t get a lot of attention beyond “well it’s New Hampshire, what did you expect” but I want you all to know there are a lot of kids and families of color here and we all deserve better than this kind of garbage representation

This is actually demonic & should strike as corrosive to the souls of anyone who considers themselves American. It’s the most dishonorable act imaginable. It’s beyond disgusting.

This administration really does have a policy of protecting pedophiles.

Stephen Miller and Trump want conflict and crisis to unleash the Insurrection Act. It's necessary for martial law, which is the end game. Everyone who says that is impossible isn't paying attention.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

This is *extraordinary*. Trump is already seeking to stash his plunder in offshore havens beyond the reach of American law *while still president*!

Update: broadcast now reporting feds shot one man in the leg, he's expected to survive Obligatory DHS copaganda disclaimer etc etc:

Senate continues to poke itself in the eye.

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

Whenever I am bleeding internally after being hit by a car I keep filming on my cell phone while briskly walking away from the scene without waiting for medical attention. What about you guys?

Up is down. War is peace

"Trump believes he’s entitled to control the Fed and turn the money spigot on full blast. His buddy Recep Tayyip Erdogan figured the same thing and ordered Turkey’s central bank to cut interest rates repeatedly, even as inflation topped 80 percent in 2022."

Know what’s fucking insane? Our NATO allies are sending troops to Greenland to defend against a possible US invasion. I know this administration doesn’t understand anything about anything, but the US is not self-sufficient enough to thrive in an interconnected world on our own.

“Scrambling” to undo your own, Constitutional authority 🤡 @politico.com www.politico.com/live-updates...

Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

Perennial reminder of this excellent paper about how secret police forces are swamped with underachievers “We don’t want clever people. We want mediocrities.” (Ungated summary here ajps.org/2019/10/08/w...)

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."

Yeah. That’s kind of the problem

ICE's "presence is terrifying medical staff and raising concerns about patient care, according to five nurses at HCMC hospital in Minneapolis who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs." Via reporter @ericazurek.bsky.social www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

🤡BEYOND PARODY SEN. MULLIN: “I support removing 🇮🇷 ‘s regime.” COLLINS: “You’re ok taking out the Iranian regime?” MULLIN: “I am.” *seconds later* MULLIN: “We’re not into regime change.” COLLINS: “But you just said you are.” MULLIN: “Yeah, Absolutely.” Bro whut🤦🏻‍♂️

She absolutely does seem to have been involved with ICE rapid response. This coverage framed her as some kind of major player in a way that seems unproven. It also comes as the government is falsely calling this monitoring terrorism. There's no evidence of that.

NATO already has Greenland. So we already have it too. They like the danish system of government they had and it’s looking better to me by the day

Jacob Frey on Fox & Friends: "We have had perhaps tens of thousands of people peacefully protesting in the streets, and at the same time yeah, they're gonna stand up for their neighbors. And what we're seeing time and time again is unconstitutional conduct by ICE."

Minimal training. Zero screening. slate.com/news-and-pol...

How is this not inciting violence? Why must they remind ICE that they have immunity? One of their agents just shot a killed a woman in broad daylight and they’re effectively telling them to go ahead and do whatever they want because they’re above the law. Be safe Minneapolis.

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

Journalist applies to ice expecting to get screened out for ger politics. They are hired before theyve filled out any paperwork. slate.com/news-and-pol...

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

Thank you so much for everyone on #BlackSky for sharing Hailey's picture; I appreciate it so much. She's still missing. They think she met someone online. She deactivated her socials, and her phone has been off since last Monday. The right pic is the most recent. She was carrying a pink duffle bag.

Is it dystopian enough for you yet? - @joshtheprogressive.bsky.social #ice #minneapolis #news #minnesota

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.

Under investigation for doing her job: Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan says she has learned that federal prosecutors are investigating her after she took part in a video urging military service members to resist illegal orders. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

So much wrong with this but…they sold his phone?!? Like, for profit?? Now ICE can just confiscate and pawn your property???

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.

Outside the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis tonight— Around 100 protesters are gathered across from the facility. Some vehicles with masked agents inside have been periodically arriving. DHS agents just gave another warning to stay out of the road and driveway, called out press as well.

So every Mom in the blue states and cities is now a domestic terrorist. Cool.

i imagine this is how they're going to keep rounding up their 2026 hiring numbers despite everything

...while in VA HD-11, Gretchen Bulova is currently up 40 points in a district won by Kamala Harris by 35.7 points, for a 4.3 point overperformance with 85% of the vote in so far...

📣 Meanwhile, based on @the-downballot.com data, it looks like a 19.5-point overperformance for Demcorats in VA HD-23! Mazel tov Margaret Franklin!
