It's time to stop letting them get away with describing ICE's operations as "law enforcement." It's not anything akin to that any longer, if it ever has been.

Trump’s America. 😕🇺🇸

New in PN: @simonwdc.bsky.social on Trump’s very bad year “It’s an issue of who he’s become — a vain autocrat who's building himself a gilded ballroom and falling asleep. He’s implicated in the Epstein affair by Epstein himself. It’s just too much. It’s grotesque. He’s become a grotesque figure.”

New, from me: A year in, did DOGE deliver on its promises? Not the promises it made to us (cut spending, modernize government, improve services). It worsened state capacity. But it was part of a successful broligarchy exercise in state capture. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/a-year-on-...

"We’re actually seeing new super PACs being established. One of them has already committed to spending $100 million in the midterms. And we’re seeing politicians and candidates speaking very frankly about wanting to install pro-crypto candidates" more here: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

If you look at all the latest the ICE videos and recruitment imagery, it's clear they are attempting to recruit people for a campaign of redemptive fascist violence.

CNN pays Scott Jennings to tell right-wing lies. If he started telling the truth, CNN would fire him and hire a replacement to tell right-wing lies.

I wrote and pinned this tweet just about 5 years ago. It has stayed there since. Since then the $SPX is up 100% And $ARKK is <down> 40% CNBC and others do their viewers a massive disservice booking Cathie. She’s actually one the worst managers of this generation and an unrepentant Musk lackey.

Time to familiarize ourselves with the term "Dirty War"

Gov Tim Walz on Trump's ICE: "This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement...it is a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government.” My article on Walz warning we should all be hearing: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trumps-cam...

Absolutely definitive video analysis of Renee Good killing here. Look at the image framed in red. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

NEW: Minneapolis Police transcripts destroy claim ICE agent who killed Renee Good was injured: "Jonathan Ross was still on the scene according to a report from Minneapolis Police Department. About 15 minutes later, he was taken to a federal building." NOT to hospital www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

Minneapolis groups call for ‘general strike’. "...several local unions—including Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, and St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28—have lent their support to the strike." www.commondreams.org/news/minneap...

"He said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, 'No puedo respirar' — Spanish for 'I can’t breathe'..." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Trump’s second-term crackdown on dissent started with pro-Palestinian activists. It didn’t end there.

Meanwhile migrants are dying in ICE custody - 5 this year already. www.fox29.com/news/man-die...

THREAD 🧵 Seen in MINNEAPOLIS: faces of right-wing media / hostile press / profiteering grifters this week. Do not take the bait, do not engage. #hostilemedia #hostilemediaMNPLS Link to hostile press lookbook: bsky.app/profile/cass... Do not reply to our posts with violence or you will be blocked.

Experienced federal prosecutors are angry about the DOJ cover-up of the murder of Renee Nicole Good & they’re resigning at record numbers. My latest, including the outrageous pressure campaign to pursue a criminal investigation into Becca Good, the wife of Renee Good. youtu.be/DY2Wcu58L0o?...

While we’re in the streets demanding ICE Out For Good, Democratic leaders are dodging questions about whether an agency that teargasses babies and kills innocent people should continue to have a budget bigger than most countries’ militaries. It’s pathetic.

Rapid response networks have evolved swiftly over the past few months. Besieged by 3000 federal mercenaries, volunteers in the Twin Cities have updated their rapid response model, developing a dynamic and resilient system. This report explores how you can learn from their model to build your own.

The Minnesota Star Tribune reports that federal agents detained three workers from a family-owned Mexican restaurant on Wednesday, hours after four agents ate lunch there. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

On the Epstein files, some members of Congress are pursuing legal action to force compliance, while others are gaming out potential legislative punishments for Attorney General Pam Bondi. They remember.

"10 Crucial Things You Can Do in 2026 Your activism will be even more important this year" @rbreich.bsky.social substack.com/home/post/p-...

"Fierce opposition to ICE and the Border Patrol has sprung up through block clubs, neighborhood group chats, school Facebook groups and Catholic parishes, stretching beyond the typical Democratic voter base..." Yup. Exactly. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

From nationalizing voter suppression to flooding the streets with federal agents, the president and his allies are using all the tricks in the authoritarian playbook to tilt the midterms in their favor.

A nurse nearly blinded by a tear gas canister. Protesters struggling to breathe. Under Trump 2.0, federal agents have routinely countered protesters using "less lethal" weapons in ways that some experts say might be criminal. ➡️ Read more (w/ @frontlinepbs.bsky.social): https://propub.li/4qjXYdX

Lawmakers from both parties consider the Justice Department’s piecemeal release of files so far to be wholly inadequate to what the law requires. They’re not treating it as a small thing, either. Good.

A former lawmaker was accused of sending sexual text messages, using MDMA and having sex with her former bodyguard in a lawsuit filed against her for alienation of affection, according to reports Thursday.

Putin, failing in his east European war, summons his American clients to organize a diversion in western Europe.

Today at the Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota while federal agents rushed the protest crowd, one agent is filmed pushing a protester and slipping on ICE. Another agent has his pepperball gun broken and he slips on the cartridge holder while dropping pepperballs all over.

Colorado SoS Jen Griswold (D) urged Gov. Jared Polis (D) to avoid granting clemency to imprisoned election denier Tina Peters after he signaled the possibility of doing so to end Trump’s retribution campaign against the state.

Read our original 2023 investigation here:

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

DHS is actually leaning into the argument that icy pavement is violence against ICE. Icy pavement in Minnesota in January—truly outrageous.

Incredible.

Minnesota Attorney General @keithellison.bsky.social with a message aimed at the Trump admin after the killing of Renee Good: “There is no statute of limitations on murder by the way. And that’s something they should keep in mind because they are not always going to be in power”

Today, Donald Trump--the president of the United States and a man with a history of election subversion--said: "We shouldn’t even have an election" in 2026. While legacy media has largely ignored this story, Democracy Docket has covered it from multiple angles. Support its work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
