Today is the first time in *decades* a U.S. city is engaging in a general strike. This was hard-won through years of coalition building and powerful organizing in the face of federal occupation. This opens the Overton Window on what’s possible. “We can’t do that…” is no longer acceptable.

Videos show dozens of incidents of immigration agents using life-threatening tactics. In nearly 20 cases, agents appear to use neck restraints that the Department of Homeland Security prohibits unless there is a threat of deadly or serious harm.

“People who are undocumented are scared to go anywhere, to do anything, to go to the doctor.” The choice some pregnant immigrants face: deportation or parenthood.

Under federal siege, Minnesota workers are surviving through union solidarity. How @unitehere11.bsky.social is feeding members in hiding and calling a work stoppage. @sarahlazare.bsky.social with @workdaymagazine.bsky.social reports on a key way Minnesotans are organizing against ICE.

The supposed ceasefire has not stopped Israel's massacre of journalists in Gaza.

This is an excellent interview with political commentator Ivan Krastev by the best U.S. interviewer, Isaac Chotiner. Worth your while if you are interested in, concerned about, transatlantic relations and Europe's future.

Yesterday, you all sent over 800 letters to House Reps calling on them to co-sponsor articles of impeachment against RFK Jr.!!! Here's a heat map (since you dorks like data lol). You can do it every day and it takes literally 5 seconds after you've done it once: fight2win.standupforscience.net

More accuate headline: “ICE authorizes agents to illegally break into homes without judicial warrants” This administration continues to spit on the Constitution — especially 1A, 4A, and 14A.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Heartbreaking cruelty visited upon children in our name

This is the reporting from @apmreports.org the doctor is citing. Renee Good had a pulse for at least 8 minutes and 34 seconds. www.apmreports.org/story/2026/0...

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...

The best they could come up with: "[A]gents told hospital staff that Castaneda Mondragon was 'laying down in handcuffs when he attempted to flee, and then, for unknown reasons, purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.'”

ICE is a 5-alarm public health threat, and must be treated by health and medical institutions as such.

We are under no professional obligation to treat with even-handedness the would-be architects of our demise. trib.al/eO82fDs

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

Sure, but let’s also call for House Dems to file articles of impeachment against this walking constitutional crisis of a POTUS.

Minnesota’s proposed January 23 statewide shutdown didn’t materialize overnight. In 2024, @sarahljaffe.bsky.social reported on how unions and community groups spent years building the coordination and trust that now make a total shutdown possible—and powerful.

Christ. We all suspected this. But the narcissistic cockalorum actually put his “if you don’t give me the Peace Prize I’ll start waging wars” threat in writing. The petulant pillock is literally ready to kill people because he didn’t get his Special Prize.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Verbal assault or, as it's legally known, "not assault"

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Abuser logic. “Look what you made me do.”

bill cassidy traded countless lives of babies and children and grandmas so trump wouldn’t burn him. and trump just burned him.

This is civil war, & we are leaderless. The Pentagon has ordered ~1,500 active-duty soldiers w/ the Army’s 11th Airborne Div. to "prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota," as Trump threatens the Insurrection Act. They specialize in cold-weather ops. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The State Dep't Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs today posted that detaining people "for 'liking' posts online shows how paranoid [an] illegitimate" regime is, referring to "political prisoners." On Friday, a fed'l judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit over State taking similar actions in the U.S.

The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death. The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post. This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide. wapo.st/4qR1T1U

“A group of Home Depot investors is asking the company to review its partnership with surveillance firm Flock Safety and state how its data is used and shared with law enforcement…”

Forced face scanning of a U.S. citizen with zero cause, just bald racial profiling. This is tech fascism.

We’re undoubtedly losing our measles elimination status.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

It’s only “racial animus” if they’re twisting their mustache while asking where you’re from. Otherwise it’s just a sparkling Kavanaugh stop.

This is what DC's lack of autonomy looks like. A vital community playground, demolished without plans to rebuild.   If NPS lets the District build it, I'll commit the funding. Petworth deserves safe places for our children to play, and DC deserves to fix problems in our own neighborhoods.

SOME RCV NEWS: The D.C. Board of Elections has issued emergency rules spelling out how ranked-choice voting will work when it's first used for the June 16 election. There's details on what happens if there's an overvote, an undervote, if a voter skips a ranking, and more.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

If you missed @janeese4dc.bsky.social’s 🔥 campaign kickoff and her vision for a people-first DC, let me leave you with her closing: "So I will close how I began: standing here with you tonight in a shared love for DC. Because love is not passive. It is not quiet. It is courageous... 🧵

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

I’m one of the ProPublica reporters who has been documenting the aggressive tactics federal agents are using against immigrants & U.S. citizens All eyes are on Minnesota right now, but I want to tell you about Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-YO citizen in Houston who was choked by immigration agents in October

Another man who was detained with him “said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, ‘No puedo respirar’ - Spanish for ‘I can't breathe.’ Medical staff tried to resuscitate him for an hour, after which they took his body away …”

If you see federal agents pulling into your driveway, reporters, power down your electronic devices ASAP. That's the advice from @runasand.bsky.social, via @columjournreview.bsky.social www.cjr.org/news/hannah-...

An intimate look at the real-life consequences of the Trump admin's cancellation of Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium funding. A Trump voter, pictured, feels "betrayed." #Medsky #oncology #cancer #pediatrics #grants #research #clinicaltrials

This is where it is going. This is what Stephen Miller is pushing to Trump. The only reason it has not happened yet is that the violence is obviously coming from state actors. There is no insurrection to control. But we are one incident away from Trump sending in the military.

Last night’s @janeese4dc.bsky.social laid out a people-first vision for DC that was 🔥 and also Pierce is hands-down the cutest baby in politics

In comparison, Janeese Lewis George introduced a bill to make it illegal for DC police to collaborate with ICE. THAT is a specific action. bsky.app/profile/jane...

Thank you, @jeremyfaust.bsky.social, for this public service; we have all wanted to see the protocol of this deeply unethical trial being funded by RFK Jr in Guinea-Bissau, I’m grateful you obtained it and have published it insidemedicine.substack.com/p/scoop-the-...
