Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

BREAKING: An eyewitness told The Intercept that the victim of this morning’s fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis appeared to be one of several legal observers who mobilized this morning outside a donut shop. theintercept.com/2026/01/24/m...

Oh it seems the answer is three street. Protesters (again, largely clergy) have moved into the street.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home! Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

Important to know that Armstrong is a reverend and that she and the protesters felt compelled by faith as well their commitment to civil rights. This is the state choosing which Christians they will support and which part of the 1A they will defend. Christian nationalism in action.

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

The number of people in ICE detention is now over 63,000—the largest detained population in the agency's 22-year history. The ICE Detentions Trends and Immigration Court Legal Representation dashboards from @vera.org provide a comprehensive view of the most recent data. www.vera.org/ice-detentio...

Dear #poliscisky: What books, articles, podcasts, etc. do you wish you had found before your first faculty position? I start as a professor in August (public law, comparative politics) and am gathering some resources for myself. Especially interested in pedagogy and managing the first year.

We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

A general strike is called for January 23 in response to the campaign of kidnapping and murder that ICE is carrying out in the Twin Cities. This is a powerful step forward for resistance. But in the 21st century, a general strike must assume new forms to succeed. crimethinc.com/TwoGeneralSt... 🧵⬇️

ICE detained people while waiting in line at a food pantry. Again, ICE DETAINED PEOPLE WHILE WAITING IN LINE AT A FOOD PANTRY.

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms. www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

“That’s a veiled threat, 1,000 percent,” Luis Argueta, a spokesperson for the immigrant rights group Unidos Minnesota, told The Intercept.

I am very interested in the political identity formation happening here. This is not U.S. patriotism, it’s state-based. Deploying the L'etoile du Nord (The Star of the North) state motto is a fascinating rhetorical move and a deeply worrying, though perhaps necessary, political one.

Governments are claimed to be instituted for protecting us from the ability for anyone to claim an arbitrary right of life or death over anyone else. When the government claims that right, then the people no longer have a duty to obey that government, and have a right, nay a duty, to rebel.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

ICE just released new detention statistics. As of January 7, 2026, ICE is detaining 68,990 people across the United States. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

Last January I was in Havana, Cuba for fieldwork. Here are some of my favorite photos from where I stayed. My heart aches knowing how much the people have suffered, even over the last year. I hope 2026 brings brighter futures.

Seven-month wait for an manuscript rejection based on two lackluster reviews (one of which is a request for revisions) that critique the paper for not making an argument it never intended to make. I love peer review

When China’s rulers ordered tens of thousands of soldiers to crush pro-democracy demonstrations in Beijing in 1989, Gen. Xu Qinxian was the commander who famously said no. Now, leaked video from his court-martial was posted online. nyti.ms/48Ho706

NEW: President Trump is expanding the previous 19-country travel ban to a whopping 39 countries (plus the Palestinian Authority), and appears to expand a block on legal immigration to now include spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens, who were previously exempted.
