States taking action against fascism. More of this, please.

Should infuriate all of us.

DISCONCERTING? Speaking as a Jewish faculty member: FUCK THIS TO THE MOON AND BACK (Sorry…)

I have no words for this: “The goalkeeper told me I’m an illegal immigrant even though I was born in America, and he said Trump was gonna get me and send me back.” How is destroying the spirit of our children making this country great? Who will repair their trauma when this is over? Sickening.

This claim ignores history. NATO’s mutual defense clause has been invoked only once — after 9/11, to defend the United States. Our allies fought, bled, and stayed for nearly 20 years. The record is clear. When America was attacked, NATO showed up.

🚨Last night in Portland, OR, ICE attacked peaceful protestors in a sickening act before retreating. These are terrorists and this conduct is criminal. Peaceful protests are not tolerated under this regime and Congress just talks. We have to save ourselves.

I will never get over the fact that the Republican Party chose as its standard-bearer, and this country elected as its President, quite possibly the worst human being on the planet.

Exactly what we expected

@christysomos.bsky.social "Canadian Brig-Gen Robert McBride is the deputy commanding general... for the [US] 11th Airborne. His role in a division waiting to support ICE is a pointed example of how Canadian personnel are caught awkwardly..." www.economist.com/the-americas...

The Founders (rightly) thought financial corruption was so concerning they banned it in the Constitution three separate times: the two emoluments clauses, and the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Starting in 2017, America decided it just kinda didn't matter anymore, whatcha gonna do.

“I feel as though the weapon I built is coming to kill me and my people,” said the Somali woman who voted Republican. Yup.

Two DOGE members working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with a group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls" www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

I have one request for everyone outside the United States. Stop being polite to us Americans. Tell us what you really think.

Davos, Switzerland, the World Economic Forum.

Our UU congregants walked out today in frigid weather in Massachusetts to protect democracy and our neighbors. I'm so proud of our folks for living their faith aloud. #Walkout #Resist

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland. There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same. And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment. 1/

It has nothing to do with US national security. It isn’t about keeping China and Russia from rare earth minerals. It isn’t connected to anything in American history Trump wants to invade Greenland because he wasn’t awarded the Nobel Peace Prize He’s threatening war because he didn’t get his way

Always the LIES We need more HONEST MEDIA ATTENTION TO THE INCOMPETENCE, UNTRAINED, AND BRUTALITY OF ICE AGENTS IN MN LIAR You murder and shoot innocent people ICE almost killed a baby due to tear gas You dragged an elderly man out of the shower in shorts in bitter cold, ICE is CRUELTY ⬇️⬇️

So let me get this straight They spent months screaming about waste, fraud and abuse Then tripled the ICE budget so they could give agents ridiculous bonuses and dangerous bounties Which encouraged DHS to assault, arrest and even kill people-who turn out to be innocent Waste Fraud And abuse

Tonight's reminder that fewer than 10 people can end the worst of all of this immediately, simply by caucusing with Democrats & giving them control of both chambers of Congress. Absolute Profiles in Cowardice. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

This President is unhinged. Our colleagues across the aisle who control both chambers MUST take action. Silence and inaction are not an option.

If your peace plan includes Vladimir Putin and excludes actual allies, it’s not peace. It’s submission.

Even on here, I’ve noticed a distinct shift from people outside the country that’s essentially, “This isn’t funny anymore, fix your shit America.” I just wonder if our congressional invertebrates are feeling that at all.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

I know the story is going around. This is Morristown, New Jersey. Half an hour from Newark Airport. Its on the hinterlands of New York City. It's a fight I know ICE isn't ready for. Also, this is People magazine. It's as normal supermarket America as it gets. Let's hope this lights something.

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously. But none of them has the balls to do it.

A combat-wounded veteran's eight-hour detention by federal agents in Minneapolis raises concerns about due process in ICE facilities.

Trump posted this image of the United States taking over Canada and Greenland. No Republican will say anything as he blows up world alliances and takes us closer to war.

The true purpose of the masked men terrorizing Minnesota, writes @polgreen.bsky.social, is "to stage a spectacle of cruelty upon a city that stands in stark defiance against Trump’s dark vision of America." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

accurate headline: "Greenlanders in tears, Ukrainians die, Kremlin in joy" euromaidanpress.com/2026/01/19/g...

China is also presumably preparing to seize Taiwan as soon as the US moves.

The three highest-ranking Roman Catholic clerics who lead archdioceses in the United States said in a strongly worded statement that America's "moral role in confronting evil around the world" is in question for the first time in decades — a critique of the Trump admin's principles.

I suspect 9 of 10 Americans are unaware that the Hmong are here because they aided the US in the Vietnam war, and then had to flee as refugees afterwards. Quite the “thank you” we’re giving them 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

When the numbers don’t match the outrage, it’s not about immigration. It’s about racism and hate. Period. Project 2025 is the blueprint. #Voices4Victory #SheShed

ICE agents pose as utility workers to get inside immigrants’ homes to detain them. The utility company has posted guidelines on how to recognize real utility employees. I have no words!

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

Oh sure. This seems wise: Justice Department weighs rollback of gun regulations. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Margaret Sullivan (@sulliview.bsky.social) uses recent heds at NYTimes ("In Minnesota, 2 Stark Views About a Victim") & WashPost ("Why Trump wants Greenland and what's standing in his way") as examples of "normalizing the dangerously abnormal" "It's as if a 5-alarm fire is consuming a city...

Tone here is very much me explaining to my toddler that the fish fingers can't be put back together once I've cut them up.

This is a very big deal. And Powell is a mensch. If democracy survives, he should get a presidential medal of freedom.

Proof of insanity in the White House!
