For Liam.

Trump taking money out of our pockets to enrich himself.

This is Georgia Fort as she’s being arrested by federal agents. Apparently, they had a grand jury indictment in hand. She was arrested for being an independent journalist who filmed the Cities Church protest.

They have only just begun their war on human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.

feds have arrested jamael lundy alongside journalists georgia fort and don lemon for the protest at a st. paul church led by an ICE agent lundy is currently running for state senate district 65 in minnesota. his wife is anika bowie, a st. paul city councilmember www.jlundyforsd65.com

North of Seattle, in Shoreline, a father taking his 2-year-old son to daycare before heading to his job, where he works 6 days a week, was arrested by ICE. They left his son sitting alone in the back seat for about 40 minutes, eyewitnesses said.

Arrests by DHS are almost uniformly found to be bogus and unwarranted. Minnesota judges have rejected nearly all the feds push to detain immigrants they seized there. Feds lost 60 of 61 cases reviewed by MSNOW, with govt accused of trying to remove people lawfully in US. www.ms.now/news/minneso...

The families of two men from Trinidad killed in an October U.S. missile strike in the Caribbean are suing the Trump administration for wrongful death and extrajudicial killing. Their lawyer, Baher Azmy, calls the strikes “cold-blooded murder.”

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

Nothing says “democracy” like arresting journalists for doing their jobs.

By now it should be clear to everyone that we’re past warning signs: this is authoritarianism, pure and simple.

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Don't forget: the largest funding spree for ICE in American history was paid for with the largest cut to health care in American history. This terror in our streets was no accident. It was in the Republican budget.

Every law enforcement agency in America knows how to manage the car after an arrest at a traffic stop. The Trump DHS leaves them open on the road like that to terrorize the rest of us. A nationwide policy.

🚨ICE is teargassing a PRE-SCHOOL! 🚨 #ICEoffOurStreets

Abolish DHS/ICE/CBP. Call your Senators 202-224-3121! Fire all trump hirelings. Start over with rigorous training and in depth psychological vetting. NYT gift article: "Aggressive combative approach. They attack opponents even with video evidence to the contrary." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

“[Liam] keeps asking about that hat and that backpack that are in the picture,” the congressman said. “I think they took that from him.” www.cnn.com/2026/01/28/u...

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

President Trump seemed to signal a willingness to ease tensions in Minneapolis after a second deadly shooting by federal immigration agents, but there was little evidence Wednesday of any significant changes following weeks of harsh rhetoric and clashes with protesters. https://to.pbs.org/3NINCGg

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them: 1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens 2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar 3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Haitians in Springfield, Ohio lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. There will very likely be a major ICE incursion the next day. Haitians in Springfield were the targets of Vance’s lying during the campaign. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/28/t...

GEORGIA — @ossoff.senate.gov : “This is a SEISMIC event. This should have people across 🇺🇸 absolutely shook. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office… this is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

Abolish ICE.

Over at Public Notice, @lizdye.bsky.social explains how the Trump administration is making sure that the agents involved in the murder of Alex Pretti are never prosecuted.

To say aloud that the vice president is friends with Nazis and to point out that his Holocaust tweet is crafted so as not to offend them is to sound crazy to everyone who doesn’t know both are stone cold facts. Frustrating thing.

ok the full clip is way better than the little one going around. her whole team try to get her to bail on the event and she's like no, I came to speak. incredible example.

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

She doesn’t flinch, but moves to confront her attacker - courage in words and actions. This is the kind of leadership we need.

If they‘d succeeded, it would be an incident of disastrous scope. The inviolability of embassies is not just a matter of international treaties but global consensus - without it, the whole system of diplomacy falls apart.

ICE has been authorizing officers to forcibly enter homes without judicial warrants—a reversal of longstanding guidance to protect people's constitutional rights. Senior reporter @samanthamichaels.bsky.social spoke with a family in Memphis that experienced this.

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

Happening now*: Maine religious leaders are staging a protest at Sen. Susan Collins' office, demanding she "use her power to end funding to ICE and put an end to their campaign of terror." *It may have just ended — the video cuts as police arrived. www.facebook.com/watch/live/?...

I was taught in school that the purpose of the second amendment was to allow citizens to defend their rights against a potentially tyrannical federal government.

"The term 'states’ rights' is redolent of Southern states invoking sovereignty as cover for violating citizens’ rights. But now that the vast power of the federal govt is under the control of a would-be dictatorship, states have to resist unconstitutional federal actions in the name of civil rights"

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Important thread:

Sure, let's ask the Trump regime's murderous masked thugs to come over to Europe and "help with security" - wtf?

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.
