"I saw Prince Andrew and Donald Trump. He wanted me to give Prince Andrew a massage, but I didn't feel good about that. I wonder if he was offering me to him to do more. Ghislaine was not involved in that."

I appreciate that my husband went out of his way to draw me in different scenarios in my birthday card.

Jesus Christ. The "pivot" lasted about 15 minutes. Arresting a black journalist under the Ku Klux Klan Act for covering a pro-immigration protest at a Christian nationalist church led by an ICE officer is the perfect encapsulation of this administration's authoritarianism, racism, and trolling.

White House with image of a Black man and an emoji of chains. And the chosen image is of Don Lemon doing journalism.

Breaking on MS NOW: Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in charging Don Lemon and the other journalists who covered the Minneapolis church protests. The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges, per @carolleonnig.bsky.social.

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding: www.dni.gov/index.php/ne...

Fingers crossed my kid isn't still sick when she wakes up for school in the morning.

he spat on a rental car and then kicked it twice. no ice officer was in sight, but five of them immediately jumped out to beat him senseless, and then tear-gassed a crowd of maybe 50 bystanders as a parting shot

Full vid for those who want it. WP too cowardly and bootlicky to show the "titty out" part. www.youtube.com/shorts/sHBb4... (the vid is a month old)

"Luchs speaks five languages: English, French, Italian, and some German and Russian. She approached grasping Gen Z parlance like she was learning another language. ...An Instagram commenter wrote: 'She’s so natural with it too like it’s not even cringe.'"

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)

Calculating their ages when they got married

NEW: All Aurora Public Schools will be closed tomorrow due to staff shortages (anti-ICE strike). Denver Public Schools will deal with staff shortages on a school-by-school basis.

This is kind of a big one. Those crews with the highest amount of ops training and focus as well as recent combat experience are headed across the pond. 10/

I appreciate this bit.

I feel very strongly that now is the time for NIMBY’s to shine. Every regulatory and procedural lever should be tested. Slow them down.

The children are fighting.

Yeah, Reuters is reporting that ICE is now explicitly ordering agents to turn back whenever they see "agitators" like @whstancil.bsky.social, which logically means they can no longer abduct people at the presence of watchers and commuters www.reuters.com/world/ice-of...

I'm so happy to find this one participating. I should buy another plant to kill off.

A few more...

A couple more spotted on Instagram.

I found a couple more local businesses participating in the National Strike called for Friday.

I have seen 3 local businesses so far make these announcements, so now I am on the look out for others in South Kitsap/Port Orchard/Bremerton.... #nationalstrike

New: Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, is leading an administration-wide effort to probe the 2020 election for fraud and regularly briefing Trump and top White House officials on her progress. Officials are discussing EOs on voting ahead of midterms. www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

New protest song from Washington state:

When Kelly says we should gather all the “illegals” & asylum seekers in the Twin Cities and let them “handle it,” she’s basically pitching a ghetto. She says she’s being “tongue-in-cheek,” but then immediately follows that caveat by exclaiming “but something must be done!” So I think she means it

Reporter: I spoke to the chief legal counsel who goes into this facility in Texas and provides oversight. In some of her latest reports, she noted worms and mold in food, lack of access to legal counsel, lack of child-friendly food, lack of sleep, and mental health deterioration.

This is networked incitement in action. Once Raichik names her target, her followers roast them publicly and call up the target's workplace or family members to make bomb threats and wish physical harm. Serious and specific threats can lead to shutdowns of workplaces and schools out of caution.

Remember that hot second when he was into "affordability."

My friend was taking her kid to school today and ICE was on her street in ten cars watching the bus stop where other kids ride to the Spanish immersion school. Nice drawdown they got there.

ICE arrested a father working at a McDonalds near Minneapolis. His teen son says ICE agents laughed in his face when he attempted to hand them his life-saving heart medication. “I just wish my dad comes home so he could be with my mom and my mom could stop crying at night”

NEW: Federal charges now filed against Rep. Ilhan Omar's assailant. FBI alleges he told an associate years ago that "Somebody should kill that bitch." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For the #gardening crowd, Ed Hume Seeds is participating in the National Shutdown on January 30. Uprising Seeds is also friendly to the cause and speaks up consistently.

The only reason Homan replaced Bovino as the face of the occupation is because his lies are more polished and he doesn’t dress like a member of the Third Reich in public. But the policies and the state instigated violence remain unchanged.

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.

The IDF is suddenly accepting the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers because they know as well as everyone else now that it’s a massive undercount.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Not the main point here, but I'm struck by Benny Johnson still insisting that his house was set "on fire in a gang war" and he had to move because it "obviously had been set ablaze." His neighbor's house was set on fire, which was put out in 20 minutes. www.mediamatters.org/benny-johnso...

No known criminal history, filed request for asylum, yet car window smashed with glass shattering on baby inside. reporting from @pressherald.com www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...

6/ Trump filed over 60 legal cases across the nation seeking to overturn the election results — all of which failed, even those before Trump-appointed judges. campaignlegal.org/results-laws...

1/ NEW: @propublica.org has obtained a search warrant that the FBI is executing for records related to the contested 2020 election in Fulton County, Ga., which has not yet been widely shared. It’s an extraordinary document. Link: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

There's a lot of focus on Tulsi's involvement, which likely means Putin will get these ballots. But it's also notable DD Andrew Bailey was present. He has done, AFAIK, just one thing since he was installed as a Hunger Game ploy last September, but I have suspected he was doing something like this.

Oh, fuck no

Port Orchard's weekly sign waving from 12-2 on Wednesdays went from 8 people a week back in December to 30 today. It was a rainy one and I needed to defrost after. I talked to someone who said she normally wouldn't be out in this weather, but if they can brave MN winter, she can brave PNW winter.

There are a bunch of protests on Saturday in smallish Florida towns in parts of the state where you really wouldn't have expected protests in past decades. For all that parts of this site dumped on No Kings, it seems to have helped build something that's now capable of operating independently.

Like, if someone would have told me five years ago that there would be protests on multiple days of the week in different towns in Polk County, I would have never believed it, and yet they're out there scheduling protests even as Grady Judd is defending ICE murdering people in the streets.

So the President of the United States of America is posting to his personal social media network blatantly fake news videos that I'm pretty sure are AI generated slop. This one is supposedly about Gavin Newsom panicking that Walmart is pulling out of California (it's not).

Want to talk more about this specific point but this whole @adamserwer.bsky.social piece is pristine & well worth reading: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... The dynamics in the Twin Cities are so hard to grasp from a distance, and become tremendously clear as soon as you encounter people there.

This is the greatest answering machine message I’ve ever heard.
