This is an excellent explainer. 👀 quote: “In rough terms, the workforce of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents commit crimes at an equal or even greater rate PER CAPITA than the population of undocumented immigrants do in the United States.”

Jesus fucking christ

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.

Capgemini accélère ses suppressions de postes

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis. It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents. This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.

DOJ targets now include victim Renée Good’s widow, Gov. Walz, and Mayor Frey...but not shooter Jonathan Ross.

The Limits of Violent Authoritarianism Trump’s authoritarian desires are boundless. But the past year proves that his ability to impose them on America is not. Even invoking the Insurrection Act would not magically change that. My new piece:

El Derecho Civil sirve para que los ricos roben a los pobres, y el Derecho Penal para que los pobres no roben a los ricos. Aforismo francés.

Las 33 personas más ricas de España tienen el mismo dinero que las 19 millones de personas más pobres, pero te dicen que el problema son los pensionistas que se pegan la vida cañón.

🚨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.

Ireland failed to remove the 3-day waiting period for abortion, which "...reinforces the idea that abortion is uniquely regrettable, that it carries an exceptional emotional risk, and that guilt is not just possible but expected. This belief is widespread, deeply ingrained, and wrong."

Oh vaya, quien lo iba a imaginar

"In the immediate aftermath of the death of Renée Good in Minneapolis... an FBI agent in Minnesota conducted an initial review of the shooting and determined that sufficient grounds existed to open a probe into the actions of the officer who shot Good..." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people. Trumpism is fascism.

U.S. defense officials are saying 1,500 active-duty soldiers are on standby in Alaska for possible deployment to Minneapolis. That’s on top of the 3,000+ ICE agents already in the area. We don’t really believe this is about undocumented immigrant crime in Minneapolis, do we?

Senior White House official says local and state police in Minneapolis “have been ordered to stand down and surrender.” What?

The detainee was an immigrant from Nicaragua who was being held in an immigration detention facility in El Paso, which the ACLU calls a “human and civil rights disaster.”

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

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.

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.

Just carry your documentation and you’ll be fine”. “Just comply and you don’t have to worry”. Dulce Morales was detained for 25 days despite having proof she’s a US citizen. She’s finally out of the camp but must wear an ankle bracelet. You can’t “comply” with fascists.

Never forget that many of the men sent to CECOT had done nothing wrong. They were grabbed and accused of gang affiliation due to tattoos. There was no due process. They weren’t able to defend themselves. They were sent here to be tortured and the regime did photo ops.

Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov speaking to MS NOW on Stephen Miller comments regarding Greenland: "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."

gente de Madrid, si alguien se encuentra una totebag negra con un dibujo de una concha en un lado y escrito "étudier au Muséum" y por el otro "Muséum National d'histoire Naturelle", es mía. Me la han robado hoy por la zona de Ópera, con un libro y más cosas dentro. Tiene mucho valor personal😭

Happy to keep them.

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

Another disabled person grabbed by ICE and denied accommodations. Duglof has Epidermolysis Bullosa, or EB. His skin is fragile, causing it to tear easily. He came to the US for specialized treatment and followed the process. He is not a criminal. It was never about crime.

🚨Don Lemon shared this clip 30 minutes ago: State Police vehicles which were intended to be used as barriers between ICE and protesters. Here we see them turning towards protesters. The state police are getting 2 different sets of orders and we all see which ones are being followed.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

Europeans deserve safer digital spaces and real alternatives to US-based platforms. We urge the Commission to: - Invest in European tech initiatives. - Support the development of user-focused, European-owned networks. - Guarantee robust data portability rights for all users.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

“Native citizens are being stopped, detained, and threatened despite presenting valid tribal identification and proof of U.S. citizenship. Across all three regions, the pattern is the same: ICE treating Native identity itself as grounds for suspicion.” popularresistance.org/from-minneap...

German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews. In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship. Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

The "right to defend itself." Occupying neighborhoods. Blocking ambulances from victims. Building pretext to hurt kids. Taking billions from US taxpayers to do it all. Is this the Israeli military? Or ICE? Yes. @premthakker.bsky.social breaks down the jarring parallels: zeteo.com/p/why-does-i...

Política groenlandesa Tillie Martinussen: "No queremos ser ricos como los estadounidenses, miren lo codiciosos que son, incluso intentan invadir a sus amigos.

Remember right after ICE murdered Renee Good when they shot a second person, this time in the leg? They put out an elaborate story about the man assaulting ICE agents, ramming them, etc. Only one problem: it was all a lie, as shown by multiple videos and the transcripts of calls to 911. ICE lies.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

Trump lets another drug trafficker out of prison because his father happens to be a Republican member of Congress.
