It's almost like the issue isn't training but the fact that these are terrible human beings working for inherently violent agencies.

Happy MLK day, gang! Martin was a Democratic Socialist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, thought white moderates were the bane of Black existence, and died on a trip to support a sanitation workers' strike! Beware his sanitized and sanded-down edit!

“We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.” -- Martin Luther King Jr.

Not headline news. No real fuss by Democratic leaders. No calls to censure. No pushback. No questions asked of GOP leadership by the press. Just totally accepted anti-Muslim bigotry across the board.

A Texas district in which Black students were allegedly taunted with monkey noises. An Arizona school where students admitted saying “slavery is good.” These are some of the incidents Trump’s Education Department has ignored:

Nasra Ahmed was shoved to the ground and detained by ICE agents, suffering cuts and bruises to her face and legs Ahmed, a U.S. citizen born in Minnesota, spent two days in jail before being released without charges

Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019. Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

Newsom gets way too much credit for his pushback against Trump. It seems to be mainly a talented comms team. We’ve seen in his podcasts he’ll fold when given a bit of pushback on anything he sees as slightly controversial. And most often, that is him throwing the most vulnerable to the wolves.

It’s actually good for politicians to explain what they mean. Republicans do this all the time and sway public opinion. Dems for some reason refuse to.

With federal agents storming the streets of American communities, there’s no single right way to approach this dangerous moment. But there are steps you can take to stay safe—and have an impact.

Here's a positive message about a politician: Council President Elliot Payne has been in the streets every single day working for his community. ICE even assaulted him for it. He leads by example, putting himself between ICE and the people even though he's at particular risk of harm as a Black man.

She’s a U.S. citizen and was on her way to pick up seizure medication. ICE has detained her anyway for the past 50 hours at the Sherburne County Jail. www.twincities.com/2026/01/16/f... #NasraAhmed #StPaul

They have quite an operation going. www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

“Did the ice agents check her pulse” seems like an important question whose answer is incredibly damning either way.

“Huge internal concern” among CBS staff over that “internal bleeding” story. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

hearing from sources that Amelia Bedelia has been arrested in connection with the water-pouring assault. "but it was ICE headquarters," she said

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Today, Kansas City took action to protect our community’s priorities. A five-year moratorium on mass detention facilities ensures our focus stays on building businesses, homes, and schools, not large-scale detention centers.

The woman who said she was autistic as ICE dragged out of her car is named Aliya Rahman via this statement: "Masked agents dragged me from my car and bound me like an animal, even after I told them that I was disabled." It happened two blocks from where Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good.

Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people are grooming them to be Nazis.

Happy Thursday

the chair of the county legislature posted how he was swarmed by ICE for investigating the site of the rumored future detention facility that DHS wants to open in S. KCMO. He's on public property and ICE is trying to intimidate and arrest anyone who comes near. xcancel.com/MannyAbarcaI...

"Their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness."

Virginia's legislative session only started yesterday, and it was a very big day. The House already passed four constitutional amendments on Day 1: —protect abortion rights —repeal the same-sex marriage ban —allow mid-decade redistricting —greatly expand voting rights restoration. Next: Senate.

Good morning from Minneapolis. Abolish ICE. Help people how you can.

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

"The sweeping study... found that using AI in education can 'undermine children's foundational development' and that 'the damages it has already caused are daunting.'" They include limiting kids' cognitive, social, and emotional developmen, and increasing inequity. www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

wooof having watched that presser just now, "don't take the bait" is a real shit thing to tell people who are, by all knowledge and information and evidence, acting in defense of themselves and their neighbors and their communities

consensus

The Minneapolis mayor and police chief do not get it. By admonishing protesters, they are telling the WRONG PEOPLE to de-escalate and remain peaceful. They literally told everyone to go home tonight. This is not going to solve their problem.

We’ve been on the scene all night in North Minneapolis. While we don’t know all the details, we know that ICE shot another person in our City. We also believe a family is still trapped inside and hasn’t been able to talk to anyone, including an attorney.

journalists never take the cops at their word 2026 challenge

We are at the “Minnesotans are spray painting their broiler pans for body armor” stage of the fight

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

That is what was relayed

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

BREAKING: Hundreds of sensitive U.S. records obtained by WIRED undercut the Trump administration’s claims portraying Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua as a unified terrorist force invading the country. Intelligence agencies spent much of 2025 unsure TdA even functioned as an organization on U.S. soil.

She says ICE agents mocked her: “The ICE agent who had pepper sprayed into the vents of my car said ‘you guys gotta stop obstructing us, that’s why that lesbian b—— is dead,’ verbatim, speaking of Renee Good. Which filled me with absolute rage and shock..." www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

Even just a name can put in motion efforts that get someone released. If they're a citizen, we can get them jail support. If they're an immigrant, there are groups working overtime to file habeas petitions before they're whisked out of state. But it starts with a name.

WE GOT MORE VIDEO OF ICE FALLING ON ICE

"We have clean voter rolls": Trump administration review refutes Trump's claim of widespread voting by noncitizens. In fact, just 0.02% of names checked raised concerns and even that could be inflated. @alexandraberzon.bsky.social @nytnickc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

Hannah Natanson is an exceptional reporter and should never have been subjected to this type of extraordinary intimidation tactic. We have few details now, but it’s hard to interpret this as anything other than an attempt to squash the freedom of the press.

The FBI searched the home of a Washington Post reporter seeking classified state documents. Nothing she wrote about could be considered classified. They simply want to suppress dissent via intimidation. Don't let them. Here is what she wrote. Please share. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Hey, anyone remember that time Republicans invented a whole, extremely thinly veiled way of saying "fuck Joe Biden" at every possible opportunity??

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

They must have went with just a picture of a couch to make sure Vance can’t assault it when he’s a guest
