4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

If you're looking for inspiration in a fraught moment, this is a great place to start

great discussion about how in the hell we are going to fix this here bsky.app/profile/wayt...

In the face of profound tragedy, millions of Americans are standing up to repression. DON'T MISS this discussion of hope, clear-eyed strategy, & an inspired theory of change w/ @leahgreenberg.bsky.social & @torygavito.bsky.social Apple: tinyurl.com/y5vydy2z YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdxZ...

NEW Charting the Way Forward. The question isn't whether we need to abolish ICE, the question is how we get this done. This is not the kind of argument Dems are used to winning, but on this issue, failure is not an option. 📺 youtu.be/QJhGPBh74kU?... 🍎 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino. They must all resign and be held accountable.

There are consequences for siding with fascists over your own customers. Target is one of the regime-friendly corporations that Minnesota organizers want us to turn the heat up on. Contact Target and demand they take action to get ICE out of our communities FOR GOOD: iceoutforgood.org#corporations

yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Centrist Dems need to understand this is NOT just some policy fight. We are in a REALITY WAR, because fascism is first and foremost a concerted attack on reality itself. We can NOT fight fascism from inside its own distorted worldview. 10/

The Democratic commentators, "strategists," and data bros who've been counseling appeasement of Trump's fascism need to take responsibility for how unbelievably fucking wrong they were. For history tells us that appeasement signals weakness, encourages escalation, and accelerates freedom's end.

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

WSJ says ICE is lying. Read that again…. The Wall Street Journal is calling out the lies

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

This is what Democrats in the Senate and the House can be doing right now: running defacto impeachment hearings. Every Wed night, at Union Station, get people from Minneapolis on TV testifying about how Kristi Noem’s criminal and impeachable acts. Say “impeachment.” Have a TV producer run it.

ICE and CBP death squads are killing innocent people, terrorizing our communities, and violating our constitutional rights — and the House just voted to give them more money. Demand that your senators use their upcoming vote on the DHS funding bill to rein in the regime’s secret police.

YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents** substack.com/@gelliottmor...

Authoritarian lies are not crafted to be believable. They are naked assertions of power. Whether it is Kremlin apparatchiks asserting that dozens of people decided to jump from their balconies or the White House/ICE demanding you ignore the plain video evidence, it's all the same

the real domestic terrorists are in the White House their leader is Stephen Miller - yes, Trump too - but Miller runs DHS, DOJ, DOD The Atlantic just profiled the fucking psycho and "his mass-deportation campaign" Last summer, Republicans gave him $170 billion to do wreak terror on us

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

There was a big ICE Out event in Lewiston Maine today @pingree.house.gov was there even tho Lewiston isn't her district (close by) Know who wasn't there? @golden.house.gov. Not only his CD. It's his hometown that ICE is attacking @senangusking.bsky.social wasn't there either. No surprise

Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency this state is exhibiting, and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these f--- ICE agents are doing on our streets."

No business as usual.

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

Abolish the Republican Party.

I don't care if you are a Dem in ME, AK, or TX and don't know Menard's from a hole in the wall. We must shut down MN,Trump/ICE now to stop a worse future. I recall last year ringing an alarm, Dem operatives held in distain or ignored, this is what happens if you don't act decisively in time.

"What can Democrats actually do?" - Vote against funding for ICE and DHS - State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law - Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE - Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny

@jamestalarico.bsky.social @jasmineforus.bsky.social Sounds like they know the old world is dead, and this MAGA/ICE world will not sustain, what is next? This TX this election would be the single biggest tsunami needed to crash on the Trump worldview. Nation: take notice. #texassenatedebate

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech. This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

Holy shit. "In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

I wish the Wolves and Warriors would boycott playing today in Minnesota. ICE murders, terror. Not a time for biz as usual. @nba.com @warriorsofficial.bsky.social

TW ⚠️ This is the pink jacket lady’s angle. (From Drop Site News) Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar. Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

This is apparently on X. I have a few concerns: 1) why is DHS sending photos of (alleged) evidence that should be in a secure chain of custody that is now lying on a car seat??? and 2) being armed does not on its own justify the use of deadly force — there has to be evidence he was trying to use it

This 4th quarter Pistons Rockets is why I love basketball. The physicality is insane. Reminds me how sleepy the Knicks have been.

"Minnesota Nice" means no to ICE.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

After illegally abducting Maduro, Trump has just sold $250M of Venezuela's oil to Vitol. John Addison, a senior trader at Vitol who helped broker the deal, gave $6M to Trump's 2024 campaign. Pay-to-play imperialism.

by the way, all of this, dozens of goons, weapons brandished massive teargassing of public space, people beaten in the street, destroying two intersections on either side of my neighborhood, horror, all seems to have been to create a distraction to abduct crying two teenagers who were here legally

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

guys minneapolis is a living hell today. they've tear-gassed so many people, tear-gassed a park, beaten people up in front of me. greg bovino is rolling around to gas stations and posing in front of them, trying to cause a riot.

KRUGMAN: “.. How did a great, sophisticated nation, one of the world’s longest-standing republics, end up so fragile that it can be undone by one man’s dementia?” @pkrugman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

I distinctly recall a set of operatives aligned with Searchlight saying activist donors were the problem with the D party, driving it to the left. Huh...What say you about self-interested surveillance and law enforcement donors?

Nostalgia is not a strategy.

The author of a controversial memo from centrist think tank Searchlight telling Democrats to abandon the slogan “Abolish ICE” is a senior advisor for WestExec, a D.C. shadow lobbyist for corporations in the defense, surveillance, and immigration enforcement industries. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

It took a murder to get the mind set shift.
