Felon Trump's Terrorists Trump cannot pardon state crimes Constitutional violations are not official duties They are torturing, maiming & killing Americans & Immigrants

It is a disgrace what Donald Trump is doing in Minneapolis. It is a disgrace what he's doing across this country, terrorizing our communities. It is a disgrace what his Department of Homeland Security is advertising. It is absolute corruption that we haven't seen before in modern world history.

In a discussion with @aaronparnas.bsky.social, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker likens the first year in Trump's America to the "early days of Nazi Germany." "That is where we are right now."

Small businesses shouldn’t have to navigate 6,000 regulations and rules to start and stay open in NYC. Today, I signed an executive order to cut the fines and fees small businesses pay and finally deliver relief.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

My friends local to Minnesota, whom I trust a great deal, would like to share the following resources that could use support. PowWowGrounds - Native American Coffee Shop doing direct food and supply aid to their communities- Venmo @powwowgrounds www.powwowgrounds.com

If the Senate ACA talks have indeed fizzled (as multiple sources have no indicated) than you can add about 10-15 more House seats and about 2-4 more Senate seats to the 2026 map of elections we've already been watching. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

This. I know it’s easy to think the opposite. But the crazy grab, stab, and shoot? It’s panic driven. If these folks felt in control, this crap wouldn’t be necessary. Don’t buy the bravado. Stand up for truth. We are the majority.

Witnesses in Iran comparing (in private coms to diaspora analysts) the violence now against past protest suppression. Said in past used batons, even armed units fired cautiously. This time sustained and constant fire at full volume against crowds, including with machine guns.

Today's GOP: "Look, if I could have been more corrupt and gotten even richer out of it, I totally would have done it. What's the problem?"

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

AOC’s Message To Trump: It’s Not If We Impeach, It’s Which Charges We File

The Insurrection Act is not "martial law." It doesn't displace civilian law, it doesn't suspend habeas corpus, it doesn't alter or suspend state and local government, and it doesn't make anything newly illegal. It allows using the military to enforce existing law, it doesn't change what the law is.

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

lest we forget

International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Kristalina Georgieva arrived in Kyiv on Jan. 15 in her first visit since 2023 to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, and other officials.

Stephen Miller's core project is to unmake the world created by the 1965 act ending racial quotas on immigration. Really enjoyed talking to @simonwdc.bsky.social about our recent report on Miller's worldview and how Dems can make a big case against it: www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/greg-sarge...

Agree, though it's hard to celebrate in these dark times. But we seem to be persisting, and remembering who we are, and showing up for each other and for the country we still want to become.

perspective also, science

An excellent article on resisting AI in schools: “It took software developers in an METR study who used AI tools 19 percent more time to do their work. Nevertheless, because they expected to save time, they believed their work had been sped up by 20 percent.” (Via @allisonpugh.bsky.social)

Say goodbye to another respected institution about to be destroyed by the Trump propagandists.

My @bostonglobe.com colleague @yabraham.bsky.social calls a thing a thing: the anti-Somali government siege on Minneapolis is rooted in bigotry against two groups the president loves to attack most: Black folks and Muslims. This is white nationalism in action. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/15/m...

New from 404 Media: lawmakers are proposing legislation that would dramatically rein in ICE's facial recognition app Mobile Fortify. Scan face, queries government databases to verify citizenship. Legislation in response to us revealing the app's existence last year www.404media.co/new-legislat...

Security folklore of the morning is that no one should share URLs on Signal because it exposes IP addresses and people should use QR codes instead. Please don’t do this! QR codes are much less secure. If you’re concerned about link security, turn off link previews which you can do in Signal settings

I just ran this through "deepl" in order to understand - and it was totally worth it.

They flashbanged a car full of kids. A car full of fucking kids.

Flashbangs burn hotter then lava. They've caused serious burns, severed hands, and even killed. *That's* what ICE just tossed into a car full of kids. Here's our investigation from 2015, by @juliaangwin.com: www.propublica.org/article/flas...
