Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

Great to see

With 50 minutes left of the ceasefire things are not looking good. Reports of drone strikes this afternoon, military build up on both sides

“And sometimes, when we’re taking it all in, and we’re doom scrolling or whatever, the act of bearing witness makes us feel like we’re doing something, when in reality, we’re actually experiencing an impact instead of having one.” — @mskellyhayes.bsky.social

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Score!!!!

The other thing that happens tho is that a large number of white people from the neighborhood show up to observe. Literally the only thing that gives ICE goons pause is white people from the community watching them. That’s why every school has parent patrols and vulnerable places ask for observers.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

Friday calls for a little levity! Experimental writing can often be quite serious but today's ULTRAVIOLET micro at @thearsonista.bsky.social is an experimental horror with a touch of humour by @sarasupernova.bsky.social burninghousepress.com/2026/01/23/t...

Victoria Mboko is playing with a heavily taped right knee but she still took out the very tough Clara Tauson in the third round at the Australian Open. She's still 19.

On the long arc of struggle: 🧵

I have been legitimately tearing up watching these brave people stand up to tyranny.

I haven't read this decision yet, but it seems like a terrible precedent for public advocacy If you get arrested for charges you believe to be politically motivated, advocating for those charges to be dropped shouldn't be a crime montrealgazette.com/news/crime/s...

One thing authoritarian regimes do is establish impunity for government officials who break the law on their behalf

The irony of everyone fawning over how Mark Carney is 'standing up' for Canada is that he is simultaneously eroding the few institutions that actually distinguish the Canadian state from the US, and those which theoretically could be used to shield Canadians from the disaster area to the south.

I say theoretically because there's no universe in which Mark Carney gives a single shit about the average middle-class Canadian, never mind the poorest and more marginalized in this place. He is gutting anything that could be used to make life more tolerable, to invest in oil, gas, guns, and AI.

I cannot stress enough that homelessness is caused by policy levers primarily at the provincial level. And AMO's new report shows it: homelessness in Ontario rose 8% last year, with 85,000 people becoming homeless. 20,000 were youth and children. Horrifying. globalnews.ca/news/1161124...

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Because Ford promised Trump. Last winter, alongside LeBlanc, during our snap election that no one knew about.

Keep Canadians out of this. You're really confused as a /heartless idiot/.

i know it's not entirely that serious but whenever i hear "bluesky need to be less full of unfun woke leftists to pull people away from the nazi child porn generator site" this flashes through my head

it is funny how all the fictional monsters we imagined taking over the U.S. for the last 30 years are objectively better people than the current regime. Give me Skeletor, please. Cobra Commander wants to run shit? He can hardly be worse than what we're rockin' today. It's worth a shot!

Lots of good signs here, but I have to confess my favorite is a rebel alliance where they replaced the red insignia with blue and the Minnesota loon.

People drove by. "Oh no! Is everyone okay?" "It's an ICE vehicle" Laughter erupts and people got out to take photos.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

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.

The Indigenous Data Collective is "a space where Indigenous knowledge holders, technologists, practitioners, and accomplices gather to reclaim our narratives and strengthen our Nations. We are not here to ask permission or seek validation from colonial institutions. We are here to enact change..."👏🏼🔥

The EEOC has just voted 2-1 to remove the entirety of its employer guidance on sexual harassment because portions of it protected trans people. This administration is pro sexual harassment while simultaneously claiming they protect women.

...les riches ne voyagent pas avec leurs enfants?

The Trump administration's FBI shut down a big investigation into a neo-Nazi group so all the agents could be reassigned to immigration enforcement. You know, in case you took this administration seriously when they claimed to be "fighting antisemitism." (www.nytimes.com/interactive/...)

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it. Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.
