officers are now shooting projectiles and gas at protesters to clear the scene

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

“Federal agents briefly detained our reporter at the scene, who says he was tackled to the ground and had a gun put in his face.”

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.

It’s posts like this that make Canada and other countries want to do deals with China and leave the United States all alone. This is the language of an abusive ex.

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!

Minnesota is the best of us.

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.” So, same as Canadians.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

The late-night hosts questioned the relevance of the old rule in an era where broadcast TV viewership is declining and labeled it as a bid to stifle their speech.

I need to hear from the folks in the 60/70s and protesting Vietnam (and everything else)...did shit feel as corrupt, unjust, overwhelming, and impossible to overcome as they do now? Not inviting you to compare, more how you felt in the moment, not knowing what you know now

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

What exactly led ICE to take 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his dad away from their suburban Minneapolis driveway remains in dispute. Here’s what we know about Liam’s story: https://cnn.it/3YYkkG1

Thank you to @marcelias.bsky.social for gaving me on his podcast! This was a great (if sobering) conversation, but I always feel energized knowing that people like Marc are on the front lines fighting for pur democracy. Thank you for all you do, Marc!

This sudden flip to ‘we’re just here to find the sex offenders’ is gaslighting at the highest level, and that’s before we even get to the fact that, if that were their goal, they never needed to leave the White House in the first place.

The broad consensus was that Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos while Trump gave a whiny, low-energy snooze-fest where he kept mixing up countries, so naturally Trump is posting that he won’t be Carney’s friend which undoubtedly devastates Carney and Canadians everywhere.

Trump: “Dear Prime Minister Carney:   Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada’s joining, what will be, the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, at any time.   Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Watched Sinners because it got 16 Oscar nominations today, and good god; it deserves them. Holy wow! Never seen quite such an amazing film. Happy that there were Indigenous folks in it too. Michael B. Jordan as Smoke and Stack was way better than Adam Sandler as Jack and Jill in Jack and Jill.

Lieu: "How scared are Republicans of talking about the Epstein files? They are so scared that they literally are calling Jack Smith ... Republicans would rather talk about the criminality of Donald Trump than about his associations with Epstein and his pedophelia ring."

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith: "I stand by my decisions as special counsel, including the decision to bring charges against President Trump. Our investigation developed proof beyond reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity... No one should be above the law".

He’s as stupid as he is dangerous

Another proud day for America.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."
