reminder that a small handful of Republicans in the House and Senate could end this madness today

It's like getting arrested by a fascist Magritte painting.

The fact that Vance and Miller - the most powerful members of the administration - are publicly socially intermeshed with open and unapologetic Nazis is the Chekhov’s gun of Trump’s second term, even if the press have refuse to acknowledge. Now it’s shooting us in the face.

Hey Border Czar Tom “Cava” Homan at @icegov.bsky.social: You know my name. You know where I live because your agents tailed me home twice. I spent 5 hours today following them and will spend 5 hours tomorrow. Come put me on TV so I can tell the whole world what I’ve seen you do to my neighbors.

Some thoughts: 1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1. 2. History professors are qualified nominators. 3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence. 4. He would be so mad.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

part of why we are driving ICE absolutely mad is that we are using tactics that do not really permit them to legally arrest us. they cannot operate the way they want to operate when we have eyes on them. they want to be a secret police and we simply will not let them be secret

At this point, even by the strictest Hobbesian standards, this government has abandoned its duty to serve the public, and is illegitimate.

Fuck off you sullen Gestapo garden gnome

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

“The government has also argued that I must accept this as true because they said it, and they are the government…I respectfully suggest that the petition is frivolous.”

The existence of this agency, staffed the way it is today, is just completely incompatible with a democratic society.

I love every single thing about this.

MN's AG: “We will not save our country in a courtroom. ... ultimately, this country will be saved by the people of the United States. And so that — you protesting, you gathering evidence, you sharing it with us, you communicating with us — is action. It’s actually how we’re going to win.”

A year after her sermon to Trump asking him to “have mercy” on immigrants and other groups, Bishop Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, is speaking against ICE alongside other faith leaders in MN. Says: “In our varied and united faith traditions, love of neighbor is not optional.”

You’re arresting terrified children and using them as bait. Arresting kids getting treatment at doctors’ offices. Blinding protesters. Illegally raiding homes. Making people terrified to leave their homes. You want to pee in peace? Quit your fucking job.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

me (bursting open my apartment window like ebenezer scrooge): you there, boy! did it happen? boy (gloomily): no sir

I wrote my Congressman and Senators. 1/6

I was thinking about that 1980s James Bond movie where everybody's trying to get their hands on a Fabergé egg for some reason And then I realized: It's an Egg McGuffin.

THIS is LOVELY.

Jacob Frey needs to issue a statement that "winter is coming for House Trump."

Ex Republican congressman says “abolish ice”, calls it “state-sponsored terrorism”

Quiet, piggy

TRUMP 2026: SHUT UP OR WE’LL KILL YOU

"She made him do it" strikes again. He's not concerned the murder will anger us; he's insisting that saying it was murder and the officer a murderer will anger them and then our fault if they lash out. "She made him do it" is the burdening of Democrats and the left for right-wing/Republican acts.

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees

What a year this week has been.

Martin Peterson's creative response to being banned from teaching Plato (shared with his permission).

The Republican Party is no longer American in any meaningful sense of the term, to borrow the language of the Claremont Institute.

This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

ICE is responsible for the *only* shooting and homicide in Minneapolis so far in 2026.

1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3. Because they are all thug trash.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

That’s it. SHUT. IT. THE. FUCK. DOWN.

Zelensky on Venezuela: “About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you” Omg I love it.

To the extent that you agree with Project 2025 and the Trump administration that America is an ethnic heritage-based project, @washingtonpost.com is a pro-American paper. To the extent you see it as a creedal values-based project, the Bezos WaPo is an anti-American paper.

Yet another opportunity for the White House press corps to redeem themselves. Sample question: "Given these events, can you explain to the American people why they should not immediately overthrow this Administration?" Repeat this question until the Press Secretary gives a real answer.

I wish for the proper procedures of federal law to be carried out regarding the president.

So the “closed” daycares…were closed during the last week of the year, during which most daycares are closed. And the doors were “locked,” which they are at every daycare. And they wouldn’t let in a “journalist” with a camera…which they wouldn’t do at any daycare. Got it.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

The dissolution of the Heritage Foundation and liquidation of its assets will be bloodless if the few remaining fascist swine allow it to be.
