BREAKING: Judge blocks Hegseth effort to punish Sen. Kelly. "This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees." Background: www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-k...

Turns out the persecution of Christians is coming from inside the Trump White House

Analilia Mejia’s historic victory is a huge win for working people and sends a clear signal that it’s a new day in New Jersey politics, and that our country is ready for bold, working-class leadership. We’re one step closer to sending an organizer and a WFP champion to Congress! 🏆

Eustaquio is a @newsguild.org member and we want him released and back home with his family!

Today I was in San Francisco to be with our members as they go on strike for the schools students deserve. From walking the picket line at James Lick Middle School, to meeting with the bargaining team, to joining educators, families, and community members at the rally, we showed the strength of SF.

it's always a little funny when a massive world-historic tragedy winds up being a huge win for exactly one intended victim

Maryland's legislature is considering a bill that would support grants and loans for Long COVID research and development, building on an existing state program. Hearings are happening next week! More from me @thesicktimes.org: thesicktimes.org/2026/02/06/m...

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

If Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to be president of the United States then he must address artificial intelligence’s impact on workers. That’s the message sent today in Sacramento by members of the AFL-CIO, a union with a combined 2.3 million members. bit.ly/4kspX9h 📸 Fred Greaves

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

This is great reporting, and I’m really interested in this person who moved from thinking Trump 2 wouldn’t be that bad, to going out to follow ICE

We have a Boston Review Forum out today on the Democratic Party in a time of authoritarianism www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Judge Reyes: “Plaintiffs charge that Secretary Noem preordained her termination decision & did so because of hostility to nonwhite immigrants. This seems substantially likely.”

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Why didn’t Biden’s DOJ do anything about the combo of coup attempt and pedos? Files were unsealed in early 2024 so plenty of time. It’s beyond Bill Clinton being implicated. I think it’s because it takes down elites of all stripes. What an indictment (pun intended) of so many in the ruling class.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

This is one of the best analyses of what is going on you will ever read. It is well worth your time. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Oh, the guy whose signature look drew repeated comparisons to nazi uniforms also casually made antisemitic remarks? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/u...

Holy crap. Minnesota police chief tracks down ICE agents in his car and de-arrests a woman who lives in his town.

Anyway congrats to our Free Speech Champions(tm) who helped usher in the most censorious American government since the Palmer Raids

“Visible state violence against sympathetic civilians was the beginning of the end for Jim Crow. It may be a turning point now, too.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/o...

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

REAKING: A federal judge in Minnesota has barred the Trump administration from arresting / detaining the state's 5,600 refugees while they await lawful permanent resident status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The woman who recorded Alex Pretti's shooting tells CNN she has still not been contacted by anyone in the federal government as part of its investigation.

I’ve been making a thread for myself to keep track - of songs, at least. Some amazing songs are emerging. bsky.app/profile/abin...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

We are at an inflection point. Americans are fighting back peacefully-thousands in Minnesota last week & millions across the country last fall. AFT members will stand up again for No Kings on March 28. Our communities are hurting & people deserve a gov’t that listens www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Raising the minimum wage in 19 states didn’t happen by accident. It’s a victory earned by workers standing together and fighting for what we are rightfully owed.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

For those who are unfamiliar: Unrivaled is the pro 3x3 basketball league during the WNBA offseason that is currently playing in Miami. Lynx Captain Napheesa Collier is a co-founder, a third of the Minnesota Lynx play in the league, and Hopkins, MN native Paige Bueckers captains one of the clubs.

NEWS from inside the Senate Dem meeting tonight: 1-Schumer has the votes to block the DHS funding bill 2-They're going to ask for real investigations into the murders (including an end to impeding the state/local investigations), an end to masks and arrest quotas. (cont'd)

"Tonight an ICE agent took a photo of me next to my car, looked me in the eye & told me 'We’ll be seeing you soon.' Not metaphor. Not hyperbole. A threat dressed up in a badge & a paycheck. Unity isn’t neutral. Unity that refuses to name violence is just loyalty to the ones holding the weapons."

NEW: this is how the US press would report on this if it was happening in a ‘shithole country’. It’s an execution. But it also reveals how weak Trump really is open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Please get the truth out about their son!

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

#DubNation stands with the people of Minneapolis and all communities affected by ICE and federal agents’ actions of violence. This goes beyond basketball. Lives are lost and many are hurting. Our thoughts are with grieving families and with everyone calling for peace, justice, and accountability.🕊️✊

Your calls are working!!

Media: do not lead with the false government framing of what happened

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!

I was there and had no idea it was so massive. Ice Out!
