Thinking about how colleges across the country are too sacred to acknowledge race and racism. Imagine getting shown up by NBC.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Whether it's Donald Trump taking bribes from terror-sponsoring foreign governments, Donald Trump plotting to rig the 2026 election, or Donald Trump posting a video of the Obamas as apes, both parties must do better.

Trump’s racist video is by far the most widely denounced thing he’s done since January 6

The Federal Government is made up of actual monsters.

This writing is sooooo over the top. The purplest of purple prose. It honestly hurts to read. What was anyone thinking, publishing this?

New: Washington Post Executive Editor Matt Murray and HR Chief Wayne Connell tell employees to stay home for a zoom webinar ahead of “significant actions across the company.” Widely expected layoffs are scheduled to begin today.

New fuck/marry/kill list just dropped

He’s going to tear down the Kennedy Center. The entire building. He tore down half the White House and no one stopped him; now he’s doing this. It’s annoying how many people are pretending they don’t understand this is what he’s openly saying he’s going to do.

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

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.

Khanna: "There has to be accountability. Do I think impeaching Kristi Noem is going to solve the issue of ICE? No. But it's gonna send a signal that you can't wield power without a check in this country. And that's what we have with ICE agents smashing windows, following people to churches."

They said "free speech" and "academic freedom" but never believed in either and now in texas you need a permission slip to mention race in class and they're fine with it. Might not have worked if people with large platforms weren't furious about marginal increases of black people in their offices

You can't even say "women" anymore

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

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

A few hours ago the msm unquestioningly repeated the White House spin that Trump had changed his “tone.”

Something @mskellymhayes.bsky.social said a few years back that I still think about pretty often

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

“You got signed judicial warrant to gain access to the scene and we’re still denied access by federal agents?” “Yes, that’s accurate.” We are so cooked 🇺🇸

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

This is Alex Pretti.

It’s the responsibility of government to protect its citizens. This Trump fascist regime is a danger to all of us. They want this violence. They want escalation. These murderous ICE thugs and their bosses must be held accountable.

Alex Pretti's parents found out about his death when the Associated Press called them. They then had to make phone calls until they reached the county medical examiner. So heartbreaking. coloradosun.com/2026/01/24/c...

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

For this, the state decided to execute him.

The detention of witnesses and seizure of their phones is an extraordinary violation of every fucking Amendment you can name: bsky.app/profile/timd...

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Gov. Janet Mills: "If they have warrants, show the warrants. In America, we don't believe in secret arrests or secret police."

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

THEY TRIED TO GET A WARRANT TO CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATE THE WOMAN THEY SHOT DEAD

"The oil and sulphur; the coal and iron; the cotton and corn; lumber and cattle belong to you the workers, black and white, not to the thieves who hold them and use them to enslave you. They can be rescued and restored to the people if you have the guts to strive..."

Tomorrow's front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 24, 2026

Journalists and bystanders are capturing what JD Vance really doesn’t want us to see. Is this the country we want to live in?

Whether it was Jimmy Carter going to Florida to help rebuild houses after a storm or Ted Cruz going to Florida to flee storms in his home state of Texas, leaders from both parties have dealt with storms in unusual ways.

I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.

The City of Philadelphia is suing the Trump administration after the National Park Service removed a long-standing exhibit on slavery in the city's Independence National Historical Park. https://cnn.it/4jSDTZQ

"The Deportation Labor Shock" www.econlib.org/econlog/the-...

my god. this baby. his little self. there have been chapters this dark in US history before—that we moved through them makes it even more damning that we’re in this chapter now. nothing short of accountability, meaningful justice, and full scale government reform can move us fully out of this one

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.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

News Analysis: President Trump used a keynote speech at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland to renounce the last vestiges of the liberal democratic order.

“My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in this country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. But, the rule of law is not self-executing — it depends on our collective commitment to apply it.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

A lot of Americans like fascism and Clinton, Obama, and Harris were pilloried for actually saying versions of this

The thing about America today is that if you just describe what is happening objectively and unemotionally you sound hysterical and partisan and what you have to remind people is that the reason for that is not you, it's the people doing the things you are describing

I’m demanding Sec. Noem provide an explanation for this abhorrent policy & that my Republican colleagues hold hearings & join me in demanding the Trump Admin answer for this lawlessness. 6

ah well at least we restructured the entire contemporary university, the product of many centuries of slowly accumulating human ingenuity, to boost this
