“And it was not Hitler who arrested me, not Goering, not Goebbels. The grocer, the janitor, the tailor, the shoemaker, the baker, they suddenly got a uniform, a swastika armband, and there they were, the master race...” -Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor

If this person who burned a synagogue had cited the Quran in defending their antisemitic attack, we'd be reading dozens of news stories about Islamic extremism. Since he cited the Book of Revelation, the media really needs to connect this to extremist forms of white Christianity.

Daily Show can be a bit hit or miss at times, but Jon Stewart tonight was pretty on point. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IcU...

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

These politicians do not understand what is happening in Minneapolis. We are under attack. They’re EVERYWHERE, they’re not making any pretense of doing genuine immigration enforcement. They’re smashing up our neighborhoods. They’re a criminal gang! Training criminals just means better criminals!

This reminds me (again)…have we heard boo about Charlie Kirk’s killer?? Was he tried? Is he alive? That one disappeared real fast

UPDATE: The pipe bomber is a 2x Trump voter and will argue Trump’s insurrection pardons apply to him also www.fox5dc.com/news/dc-pipe...

Another important part of the story: The congregation’s president, Zach Shemper, has vowed to rebuild the synagogue and said several churches had offered their spaces for worship during the rebuilding process. www.mississippifreepress.org/suspect-in-b...

Stephen Pittman, a 19-year-old man accused of setting fire to Jackson’s only synagogue, Beth Israel, declared that “Jesus Christ is lord” after the judge asked him if he understood his rights in federal court today. @nickjudin.bsky.social reports + AP:

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Bessent who had preempted stuff like this in the past realizes it has several kinds of potential blowback (including extending Powell's stay). GOPers are revolting (Powell reached out to a number). It achieves opposite of what Trump wanted economically. Probably makes SCOTUS more worried on Cook.

The reporting on Powell investigation is delicious. Pulte tried to kick up an investigation but he (and DOJ) claim he didn't have a role. Ana Paulina Luna, openly being handled by RU spooks, says she started it. Surely Jeanine Pirro thought she was doing a good thing. Backlash from GOP Senators. 1/2

"The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first attack on a 'drug boat,' killing 11 ... the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then killing them. That is a war crime."

ALERT: Jack Smith will testify publicly at House Judiciary Cmte on Jan 22

In addition to congratulating the killer, Bovino frames taunting of ICE/CBP as “intent,” which he falsely asserts justifies Good being killed. I’d say this is a slippery slope, but we’ve already slid to near the bottom.

BREAKING: Former special counsel Jack Smith will testify publicly on January 22 before the House Judiciary Committee.

It's also where Dred and Harriet Scott were enslaved, and then denied standing in the suit for their freedom on the grounds that Black people could not be citizens.

just keep thinking about my colleague's @racketmn.com piece that Fort Snelling, this building where ICE is HQ'd, is the site of a concentration camp, part of institutionalized genocide against the Dakota.

Wow: Mary Peltola announces she's running for Senate in Alaska — as a Dem, of course. Peltola looked to be deciding between a run for governor, where she looked like she'd almost be favored, and a tough race for Senate against Republican incumbent Sullivan. Telling of Dems' mood she chose latter.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

For as long as I live, I’ll never understand how the man who incited this, was returned to the office he was trying to steal. Never.

We are doing everything we can to secure the immediate release of our @council.nyc.gov employee, who was detained today by federal immigration officials at a routine appointment, despite following the rules. We demand his return.

Another poll on ICE. Same frozen reception to their murderous goon tactics.

Initial polls with interviews after Nicole Good's killing are showing Trump's already terrible job approval dropping: 3 point decline - Morning Consult 5 point decline - RMG/Napolitan Institute 7 point decline - TIPP Insights It's possible - thankfully - this terrible act has moved public opinion.

Trump and the regime are way out of position on what ICE is doing. Dems need to see this as an opportunity.

Lots of stunning data in here. There's a reason Trump has been a manic, impulsive mess these last few days.

This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/IC...

U.S. Attacked Boat With Aircraft That Looked Like a Civilian Plane The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard. Another ONEST DEEP DIVE is coming asap.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Q: "You've promised $2,000 checks to Americans based off of your tariff revenues?" Trump: "I did do that? When did I do that?"

Trump announced a set of new Trump resorts in Saudi Arabia - “a place to be”.. including mansions, golf club, hotel and members club.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

The Kelly case has been assigned to Judge Richard Leon. That's especially ironic because it was Judge Leon who held, in Larrabee, that the Constitution bars the military from prosecuting retired servicemembers (like Senator Kelly) for post-retirement offenses: cases.justia.com/federal/dist...

"State and city officials in Minnesota and Illinois filed federal lawsuits against the Trump administration on Monday, claiming that the mass deployment of immigration agents to the Minneapolis and Chicago regions violated the U.S. Constitution and infringed on states’ rights."

One basic pattern here is that DHS officials are engaging in violence simply because they are irritated at citizens protesting them. There is no plausible threat of violence here. He just wants to inflict pain, and believes there will be no penalty for doing so.

Malaysia, Indonesia become first to block Musk's Grok over AI deepfakes www.npr.org/2026/01/12/n...

A key stretch in this post: ICE has extended its reach from merely detaining immigrants to *arresting protesters.* This is an entirely different pretext for the occupation. The supply of potential "protesters" (which they get to define) is much larger than the supply of immigrants.

“.. some White House officials see the episode as radioactive, with aides and allies eager to distance themselves from a probe they believe could do more damage to the White House than to Powell.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

ICE is now behaving in such a way that even Tucker Carlson’s favorite Holocaust minimizing, Hitler-apologist “historian” is like “hey now guys, this is getting a little out of hand.”

For those who've forgotten, Rivera was charged in 2022 for acting as an unregistered foreign agent for Venezuela. Delcy Rodriguez had ordered CITGO to pass through payments to hide the payments. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Former Marco Rubio roomie and former Delcy Rodriguez (alleged) secret lobbyist David Rivera and DOJ have asked Judge Melissa Damian to delay his trial, bc for reasons that may surprise no one, DOJ no longer wants to put Marco Rubio on the stand.

In addition to the laundry list of terrible conduct by federal agents, Ellison calls it an "unlawful commandeering of police resources." "In just two days responding to the chaos ICE has caused, has cost the city $2 billion in law enforcement resources." I assume he meant MILLION.

AG Keith Ellison, Minneapolis and St Paul mayors announce plan to sue federal government. Ellison: "This is in essence a federal invasion of the Twin Cities." www.youtube.com/watch?v=u17g...

.@PabloReports: Will you vote against any additional funding increases for ICE? Kim: After what we’ve seen, I don’t see how we can continue to support it. With the Republican majorities, they have just been enabling this lawlessness that we’ve been seeing.
