We all know who the real suspect is here. Jail will not be kind to this wee Himmler wannabe.

Let’s.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Why are they still on the job? The Nazis gotta Nazi policy?

No notes

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Yep. It's the correct term. That it makes people uncomfortable is more reason to use accurate language.

Little tiny

Exactly what we expected

This is exactly right. I talked to many who were mortified to be there.

Voila: All rich dudes; all mobbed up with Trump; throw in some rich Gulf dudes and Chinese dudes; get it at a discount. Bottom line: this country is no safer from a national security perspective than before, but the rich are richer. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/b...

Exactly zero seats sold for these screenings of the Melania doc this afternoon.

I am surprised it is not less than zero

incredible work by the Forward who found the one Jew in Greenland so they could work the Jewish angle on the Greenland story (spoiler alert: he does not want Trump to take over Greenland)

Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

it's cool that so many people in positions of power and influence were so negatively polarized by "wokeness" that they convinced themselves that there was an actual debate about who wanted to erase history and the "wokes" were on the wrong side bsky.app/profile/arch...

We’ve covered lots of losing local teams on the back page of this paper. But none with a record as bad as the Chicago DOJ during Operation Midway Blitz: 0 convictions 11 charges dropped 3 no-billed cases 1 jury acquittal

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

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

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

BREAKING: Todd Blanche’s aides directed federal investigators in Minnesota to shut down the investigation into the ICE officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good—and instead probe the victim for possible criminal liability, according to reporting from MS Now’s Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian.

I've been a follower and fan of his work for as long as I've been on social media, but I finally get to talk with @garystager.bsky.social next week for the @humanrestorationproject.org podcast! Been a long time coming!

there are so many gutting stories, but this one is hitting me extra hard. just imagining wael tarabishi slowly dying without his dad there to care for him because he was jailed by ICE makes me…i don’t have words. this country is disgusting.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Also: everything is gender. Mommy party/Daddy Party

Except with the tariffs, China *did* escalate against the US and ended up with the upper hand.

making our strongest possible pitch to Greenland

Carney: "We stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland's future. Our commitment to NATO's Article 5 is unwavering ... Canada strongly opposes tariffs over Greenland"

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

BREAKING President Trump has posted what appears to be a private message from President Macron of France where Macron says: “I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland.”

I don't understand how or why school leaders would welcome a speaker or book sure to undermine their mission. This is not balance, but irresponsible masochism. Not succumbing to a fad may the greatest act of leadership. stager.tv?p=7624

Irrelevant podcaster proves once again that stupid is a talent. Trump is also going, in a much bigger way, so she is also trolling him.

The labor share of GDP is lower today than it has been at any time since records began being kept in 1947. The share of the nation’s income going to workers has fallen 16 points in that 78-year stretch. The share going to capital has risen by the same amount. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE

On MLK Day, we’ll hear a lot of quotes from people actively dismantling his legacy, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Dr. King’s work was never finished. It was interrupted.

Dr. King believed our democracy would only make sense when every child was fed, every mind was educated, and every community had dignity and freedom. That vision is still unfolding. So, on this MLK Day, let us recommit to the work of building the world he dared to imagine.

this mlk quote is why some states didn’t officially recognize mlk day until like 2000

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Rep. Andy Ogles on Fox Business: "They're libtards in a blue city ... if the libtards are gonna side with lawlessness, that's on them"

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

recorded this last week

I'm starting to think that, until he's finally gone, I should repost on a daily basis this 11,000+ word piece I published in @theatlantic.com about Donald Trump's serious psychiatric disorders to explain why, as a legal and constitutional matter, he was unfit for the presidency.

it is not the most important thing here but how much of this “8 wars” stuff is just him mindlessly repeating what his handlers tell him when they hand him stuff to sign

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

They are canceling youth sports across the city in Minneapolis this weekend because lawless masked armed federal paramilitaries are targeting the children and families.
