The piece is overall pretty good, but this bothsidesism meets waffledom is why the NYT makes so many of our heads explode. It's an incoherent paragraph; I wonder if editorial rewrote something to create this fuzziness about who what where why when.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

A friend who doesn't know who her Congressperson is, is now walking children home from school to the apartment that their mother doesn't dare leave.

Blue states could commit billions in fraud and STILL send more to Washington than they get back. But sure, blame immigrants.

Protester is 21 yrs old. ICE agent dragged him and held his head down in his own pool of blood, mocked him about losing his eye. They fired pepper pellets at the HEAD of a witness recording the incident.

If you are a Dem that cannot commit to abolishing the goddamn American Gestapo, you are not on the side of the people, you are on the side of the billionaire pedophile sex trafficking ring currently rounding up our neighbors. Resign.

I posted this yesterday Waiting to hear from any of these Minnesota based corporations regarding ICE actions in their community.

Where is the business community and corporate leaders of Minnesota based companies in speaking up? Why aren't the big law firms sending lawyers to represent the people being attacked? We are not at the end of this authoritarianism, we are at the beginning. And, sadly, we are on our own.

4 male ICE agents tackle a woman U.S. citizen—lift her off ground with no concern over groping her breast or exposing her midriff. "Help me! Help me!" she cries out. "Check my ID!" Agents shove her into back of SUV hitting her head—literally run away from scene of crime. St. Paul, Minnesota.

ICE is now ramming civilian cars through red lights in Minnesota. — they are tax payer agitators ‼️

Please, PLEASE. Read this thread.

U.S. citizen detained by ICE: “…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

It’s telling when journalists are able to find the active voice. In my mind, the feds are the aggressors, but even if you wanted a more “neutral” framing, you’d make them both subjects in the sentence (Feds and Protestors Clash) rather than making the feds the helpless object of protestor action.

HAM radios are relatively cheap (20 to 25 bucks) walkie-talkie size anyone can listen without a license to SPEAK on a HAM radio, you need a HAM radio operator license HAM radios can still function when cell service is blocked ICE locations can be found/heard on HAM radios

Dr. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has written many powerful works, but this one stopped me dead in my tracks when I first read it. Please take the time, and share widely.

Be brave. Make noise. Link arms with your neighbors. Stay disciplined. Remember who we are. ICE is an occupying army, but we will not consent to being occupied. This is how we protect each other. This is how we will win democracy. #NonviolentResistance #CommunityDefense #StrengthInNumbers

Frey: "Last week a group of our city's Public Works employees were stopped by ICE agents. 3 of the 4 employees were not white. The ICE agents asked to see the IDs of the 3 non-white employees and didn't even bother to ask the white employee for identification."

ICE Trump regime agents kidnapped a 17 year old boy working at Target, the regime thugs beat and tortured him then dropped him off 9 minutes away from his job site when they realized he was a US citizen, he was bloodied and bruised when witnesses helped him.

They gave ICE drones, how long before they start using them to not just surveil people, but also using them to deploy tear gas and other deterrents? "I love the idea of getting a drone and having light fentanyl-laced urine spraying on analysts that tried to screw us". -Alex Karp CEO of Palantir

Kim: People fear for their safety right now. When I see a facility like Delaney Hall, it is absolutely atrocious—the conditions that are there. Companies are literally profiting off that human misery and getting billion-dollar contracts. That’s not the best use of our taxpayer dollars.

My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars: / Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform. / Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks. / Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.

MASS NON COOPERATION WORKS. We’ve seen it. When the community responds in mass to ICE raids, or brave Americans refuse to open the door so ICE can take someone who has run inside, the Gestapo retreats. Be brave. Make noise. Link arms with your community. Refuse to give up your neighbors.

Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

Trump is going to use DOJ/FBI to try to steal the 2026 election. My legal team and I will fight back in court but we all have a role to play. Tomorrow, I will offer my thoughts on what Trump is up to and what we need to do now. Subscribe to Democracy Docket for free to find out. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I'm FOR the independence of the Fed. I'm AGAINST the attack of Jerome Powell. I HOPE business reacts strongly. But it would be nice if business types, now bestirred, also condemned ICE's attacks on immigrants and Americans--not just Trump's attack on the Fed.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days. End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Noem says hundreds more ICE agents are expected to arrive in Minneapolis today and tomorrow. Please be prepared. Set up a network, check on neighbors regularly, know your rights, and have an action plan in place and ready.

Learning from our movement elders can help us navigate our way forward. In this discussion with George Lakey, Janet Cherry, a student leader in the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, speaks of the importance of vision, strategy and conviction in the fight for a better future.

In the Inferno, Dante claims that a human being can commit a sin so grievous that their soul is immediately pulled down to the deepest layer of hell, & a demon takes control of their body until they die. That’s what happens to every ICE agent when they sign their contract. There’s no soul left.

ICE beat a U.S. Marine Veteran, telling her: “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch!” Credit to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social for the interview.

Watching ICE go door to door in Minneapolis, local and state authorities permitting it...it's impossible not to think of Kristallnacht. The Great Removal of the 5 SE Tribes. 1942, when Japanese-Americans were forced into camps. What we do in response to this moment of great shame matters.

This seems to strongly suggest that the incoming president of UVA doctored his CV to the edge of outright dishonesty, and that the most recent changes came months before Jim Ryan was forced, as if they were made in anticipation in Ryan’s removal. augustafreepress.com/news/vanishi...

Long live the Somali aunties. Long live samosas. May they outlive ICE by thousands of years.

This regime is out of control.

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.

BREAKING: ICE agents pepper-spray peaceful demonstrators and journalists and deploy chemical irritants in Minneapolis. Our partners @statuscoupnews.bsky.social captured the moment live on the ground as it happened.

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...

🇺🇸 taking Greenland = NATO is over NATO is over = A stated Putin goal Baffling how little of the analysis touches on the possibility of Putin’s hand in all this

Someone in my YouTube comments this morning: "Doing the right thing is worth the trouble." Whatever may come, we are standing on the side of humanity and decency. I will never have regrets about which side of history I stood on in this moment.

Deportations to Add Almost $1 Trillion in Costs to the “Big Beautiful Bill” We are spending 175 billion dollars on ICE to brutalize communities and traumatize children for life. This is being done in your name, with your tax dollars, on our watch. Don’t look away. www.cato.org/blog/deporta...

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

I disagree with the suggestion in the NYT story today that rule of law is not working to stop Trump Yes the "Trump judges" have been disproportionately bad, but the overall win rate of over 60% or >320 wins is still EXTRAORDINARY And the wins in the most important areas have been even bigger👇 1/x

NEVER NEVER NEVER FORGET the January 6 insurrection and that the perpetrators of this violence have been pardoned by the same Regime that instigated it.

“The alarm was warranted. Everyone on the scene had witnessed the crossing of a crucial line in Donald Trump’s mass-deportation project: ICE had just killed an American citizen on American soil” {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump continues to make billions from foreign govts and oligarchs with new deals happening around the world every month from people who want a lot from the US government and are getting what they want. And Trump is just getting started obscenely profiting off the presidency.

What’s going on here

50501 National Coordinator and Voices of Florida Fund’s Sarah Parker, spoke in Tampa to protestors who came out after the murder of Renee Good.
