the only thing Democrats should be saying on Greenland is "this is evil and wrong and if we do it we will be punished"

like this is why Europe doesn't even trust Democrats on atlanticism now

So you're saying America should have a secret police. Is that what you're saying?

The good news? We’re winning universal childcare faster than anyone expected. The bad news? Ms. Rachel and I have to find some new song inspiration…

2000-2025: facts over feelings, no safe spaces, be a fucking man 2026: your dismissive body language has left the fourth Minneapolis infantry with anxiety

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.

“Verbal assaults”

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

Can’t improve things by perpetuating the lie that immigrants are a threat. Have to take on that lie directly, siding with the pro-immigration American majority. “But if we get rid of ICE, who will stop the rampaging hordes of scary foreigners?” isn’t good politics. It’s ceding the issue to liars.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

If DOJ is not investigating him, there is no ongoing federal investigation for state and local authorities to supposedly obstruct or interfere with by pursuing their own.

American Supremacy thinking infects everyone in different ways and this is one of them. The idea that we would invade an ally and begin a prolonged military conflict, on top of everything else, and the contours of our political culture and system would be the same horse race is truly unbreakable

It's so surreal and absurd to talk about this like it's some kind of normal political event that the standard alternation of a normal two-party electoral system just proceeds alongside.

The shadow cabinet idea was a great idea and should have been implemented a year ago. Would have presented an organized, unified response to the chaos, issue by issue, by people with expertise.

“Leave Greenland alone!” Heckler interrupts Star-Spangled Banner at NBA game in London, wins cheers from crowd. (Video via Reddit)

a new meme here in Europe is people giving Trump awards they have received: “congratulations Donald Trump, regional sales manager of the year 2022,” etc.

Gallego ("moderate" Dem) is going with "ICE needs to be totally torn down" (not "reform and retrain"). This is a pivot point for the country on immigration. You have been seeing this in the data for a while, and now officials are snapping to the public opinion www.gelliottmorris.com/p/ice-is-a-7...

Yep. Call your reps, tell them ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES, then ABOLISH and DEFUND ICE. No "training," no body cams, no "reform." Just shut 'em down. Find your reps here: reps.fyi

It's the latest in a long string of moral panics in LE....everyone has knives in everything, superpredators, human traffickers are primarily targeting middle aged white women out shopping, all part of the same basic phenomenon

Judgment at Nuremberg-level trials for the Grand Admirals and any number of Moffs and other viziers, play it out as a courtroom drama with flashbacks if you REALLY have a Disney-mandated minimum of action scenes

You would think that some moderately competent journalist could hit the angle that these ICE agents are openly sporting tattoos from groups that the FBI has designated as white supremacist and domestic terrorist and pressure for them to be fired. You would think that some elected officials

According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved. She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused. So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.

someone asked why I would appropriate an "evil" speech for the cause of woke, so I'll spell it out: the speech exemplifies how confidently asserting your values has the power to define an entire cultural moment, and I want people in the service of good to think about how we can wield power that way

Something to show students when they ask why law matters

One small thing I hope comes out of this nightmare is at least renaming the Department of Homeland Security. “Homeland” is not a word Americans use. It sounds like a translation from Heimatsicherheitsabteilung.

Also, if he's getting shivved by Trump anyway, why not return the favor and become one of the small group of Senators who can stop this nonsense.

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

reading interviews of rural minnesotans and reading gun forums made me very sad about all these boomers getting their info from fox news. then i saw what the nail girlies are up to and what's going on in roblox and lol ok yeah people really fucking hate ICE

I'm not in MN but my local chats have gotten a lot of new people this week. People are getting more serious about organizing, everywhere.

Read our @boltsmag.org story on the fourth of these, a big one that risks not getting enough attention. boltsmag.org/virginia-con...

The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session: —protect abortion rights —repeal the same-sex marriage ban —allow mid-decade redistricting —greatly expand voting rights restoration. These will all go to 2026 referendums.

Yesterday these folks had raised $17k. As of right now they’re a few hundred bucks from $100k. A lot of that is Bluesky—y’all absolutely kick so much ass.

As much as this month has sucked, it has also given me enormous hope in the power of ordinary people to do extraordinarily selfless things.

Another data point indicating that Polymarket is not a “prediction market” but a public persuasion operation—here it spreads disinformation about Minnesota and DHS signals boosts the disinformation:

Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia. It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.

Roundup of the insane rhetoric coming from the right at the moment. It's remarkable how *little* violence we've seen from protesters, given the feds' aggression. Maybe I've missed something, but the worst I've seen is people throwing snowballs. The MN weather has injured more cops than protesters.

>looking for a new ai company logo >ask the graphic designer if the logo is a butthole or an animal >she doesnt understand >pull out illustrated diagram explaing what is butthole and what is animal >she laughs and says “it’s a good logo sir” >contract for logo >its a butthole

Two white friends tail me home if it's outside the hours when people are out and about. I'm damn near third generation Minnesotan. It's not just "you're a citizen you'll be fine." I'm a black woman alone. Who knows what they will do.

ICE/CBP is following school busses now. My husband (a school bus driver) was just in an urgent all-hands meeting about it this afternoon.

I know some things are more important but I’m legitimately so fucking sick of the federal government posting like stormfront

Following the vandalism of at least 11 government vehicles or rentals driven by federal law enforcement at a hotel in Eagan, Minnesota last night, it's safe to say—you don't want to stay at a hotel that hosts ICE, or even park your vehicle there. You don't want to host them at your hotel, either.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

there are basically two DOJs right now: basically pleasant bureaucrats who are trying to pretend they’re working for a particularly cranky version of Mitt Romney, and people who want to make QAnon real

It would be funny, if it wasn’t so infuriating, that this is the second time people have elected Donald Trump and then almost immediately been like “wait what the fuck we hate this guy”

I understand that a lot of reactions are going to be along the lines of “well they’re just going to claim literally any protest is non-peaceful” and I’m sure they will do that in some cases but these kinds of TROs have actually made a difference in other places don’t hand it to them preemptively

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

the dividing line amongst democrats is basically do you view republicans as existential threats to the country or do you view them as sparring partners. it’s 2026. cuck democrats can either get on board or get primaried

exactly this. do you correctly view MAGA as an evil force that jerks off over murdering women and flash banging babies, which must be crushed and destroyed forever? Or are you still clinging to a dangerously naive delusion that these creatures can be won over with the Power of Debate?

“Trump invaded Venezuela, kidnapped its president, stole a bunch of its oil, sold it, and stashed the money in banks in Qatar” is a stone-cold CLASSIC of this genre
