A few weeks back ICE agents ate at a Mexican restaurant and then *detained the restaurant's workers* and they're complaining about how they can't eat out anymore?

So many kids died and were traumatized for the sake of Conservative’s obsession with the 2nd Amendment — and then they just fully abandoned it the second it didn’t fit their narrative…

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?

Compassion over cruelty. I love this statement from Nydia Cardenas about why she’s running for county commissioner. Texas needs so much more of this.

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

I feel so much for George Takei. Imagine watching the nightmare trauma of your childhood being played out again on the news. Those poor kids. Their poor families

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

He saw God’s foot upon the treadle of the loom, and spoke it; and therefore his shipmates called him mad.

One of my former neighbors now lives in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Minneapolis. Their mutual aid group provides groceries, rental assistance, and other support to families targeted by ICE. Please donate if you can: www.gofundme.com/f/support-lo...

The trauma that the Republicans have put educators and students through for decades is just so painful to witness.

Charles Yang of Time for Three absolutely slaying me. I would lose my mind if I heard this live. Even crappy phone speakers made me scream and cry.

Forty years after the Challenger disaster, NPR explores the engineers' last-minute efforts to stop the launch, their decades of guilt and the vital lessons that remain critical for NASA today.

It's obviously good that citizens with smartphones can create multiple records of these shootings and undercut propaganda and government lies about them. But I find it a little deranging that being an informed news consumer in 2026 requires watching what are essentially snuff videos in slow-mo.

Just trying to avoid accidentally watching video of someone getting murdered on camera. Again.

This quite literally should be all over the news‼️

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening...He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.” coloradosun.com/2026/01/24/c...

The last couple of weeks have really affirmed that video can’t work if authorities have decided they’re not bound by anything, least of all reality. Rodney King and Latasha Harlins really schooled me on this a long time ago but my problem is I kept believing people wouldn’t just lie like this.

I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Emphasizing that ICE is deliberately arresting people who are in the asylum process precisely because they are easy pickings; after all, they're complying with the government! Amazingly, it's likely legal; but cruel, unjust, and very counterproductive by discouraging compliance!

NEW: MN judges continue to reject arrest warrants in ICE protests. Sources tell @ms.now feds aren’t providing evidence that protestors are committing the crimes of which they’re accused. First byline with the great @carolleonnig.bsky.social and Alex Tabet. www.ms.now/news/minneso...

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Winter Storm Warning that goes from the Rio Grande to the Gulf of Maine

Aux Etats-Unis, les images de l’extrême brutalité des agents de l’ICE envers les migrants

The outlook for North Texas continues to evolve, but not the threat of a half-inch of ice and potentially widespread power outages.

I have all the stuff I need to make pozole so I’m ready for the storm now

The seven Democrats who voted in favor of renewing ICE funding are: Rep. Tom Suozzi (New York), Rep. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Rep. Don Davis (North Carolina), Rep. Laura Gillen (New York), Rep. Jared Golden (Maine), Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), and Rep. Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Washington).

"In less than two minutes, they smashed his window and dragged him out of the car." More Gestapo shit in Maine

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

A major winter storm that the National Weather Service has described as “expansive” is expected to affect a widespread area across the U.S. this weekend. See how much snow may fall where you live. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

In America we have city cops, different cops for your county, cops for the whole state, cops for soldiers, cops for malls, presidential cops, cops for the stock market, mail cops, federal cops, cops we secretly send to other countries. Even your neighbors get to pretend to be cops. We’re very safe

One viral post shared on Xiaohongshu, a social-media app, laid bare an uncomfortable reality: the qualities that made a mystery man a marvel are expected of women

Horticulturists and garden staffers are working to ensure plants, trees and shrubs survive the expected freezing temperatures and ice.

A political protester in Minneapolis was captured by ICE. They removed her bra and cut off her wedding ring. They never returned her clothes to her. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

ICE is out of control and committing unjust acts of aggression and violence.

Evil. "Liam’s middle-school brother returned home to a missing father, a missing little brother and a terrified mother." The family's active asylum case "has no order of deportation...Why detain a 5-year-old? You can’t tell me that this child is is going to be classified as a violent criminal.”'

I just keep staring at this picture. His hat. His little backpack. The hand holding it like a claw.

"School district officials in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, say their sense of security is shaken and their hearts shattered after four students from the district have recently been taken by officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

ICE are monsters.

I don’t use social media to argue about politics with strangers. I use social media to talk to people about fish. When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish. When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because we’re Jewish.

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.

In short, this secret memo explains SO MUCH of what we've been seeing over the last months, including this raid of a home in Minneapolis where ICE officers presented no judicial warrant before breaking in the door. Turns out they were secretly told they don't need one!

it doesn't matter if you don't want to have this fight, it doesn't even matter if it's not politically optimal to have this fight the fight is here and sitting it out is not an option if you can't see that get out of the way

Either the First Amendment exists or it doesn't. That's where we are.

In authoritarian regimes, the government uses its powers to threaten, harass, and silence its opponents.

Breaking news: The Post demanded in a court filing that federal law enforcement officials return electronic devices the government seized from a staff reporter’s home, writing that the search “ignores federal statutory safeguards for journalists.”
