Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

I’m sure it’s all legit. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

It is inconceivable to me that any Democrat would vote for a DHS funding bill that fails to include a mandate that requires these federal goons to take their masks off. No more Secret Police in America!

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the six million Jewish lives — and the millions of others — senselessly murdered by the Nazi regime. We remember not only the unimaginable loss, but the warning history leaves us.

I guess he just got lucky.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Very good that TMZ is running this headline on its top story rn: www.tmz.com/2026/01/24/n...

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

They murder a man in cold blood and wait around to watch him die. There is no hell hot enough. Abolish DHS. Impeach, convict, remove. Trials as soon as possible.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

UK Armed Forces Undersecretary Alistair Carns on Trump’s statement that they stayed behind the front lines in Afghanistan: “I served 5 tours alongside Americans. We shed blood, sweat and tears together. There’s only one thing worse than working with allies - and that is working without them.”

“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

AYFKM. One of the guys ICE/DHS claimed was living with the innocent US citizen they dragged into the snow in his underwear is currently IN PRISON and already had an ICE detainer on him. It's amateur hour at ICE, and the rights of American citizens are being impacted!

McBath plays audio of Trump asking Raffensperger to find votes for him

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

The apparent plan for discouraging immigration from Venezuelan autocracy: turn America into a Venezuelan autocracy.

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

This is so deeply inhumane, and the legacy of pain will create ripple effects both for the traumatized and those inflicting trauma.

What plume of feathers is he that indited this letter? What vane? What weathercock?

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

DOJ investigating whether Denmark lied on its Greenland mortgage.

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

This really is the longest Black Mirror episode.

Worth every second

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.

No notes

If fewer Americans had voted for Trump, Renee Good would be alive and caring for her child today. No matter what lies Trump and his propagandists spread, no matter what nonsense the media prints, no matter what conspiracies MAGA invents, that remains manifestly true.

“When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior.”

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

Rep. Lauren Underwood gives me so much hope. The best.

The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

Make it viral.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Absolutely unAmerican, and, more importantly, inexpressibly inhumane. That the report was killed by CBS is shameful.

why am i not surprised he doesn’t understand that no means no

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Macon, Georgia. No kings.
