Judge William Young ends his order protecting noncitizen students targeted for deportation for their activism or speech with this quotation. It’s by Ronald Reagan, who appointed him to the bench four decades ago.

Carney put crybaby Donnie in his feels.

There’s no way I could vote to give ICE more money. Let’s be clear: ICE is now one of the wealthiest law enforcement agencies in this country, and they continue to prove they are ineffective and unqualified. (1/2)

People want to have their basic needs met. They want to be paid a living wage. They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives. They do not want Venezuela. They do not want Greenland. They do not want masked thugs terrorizing our communities.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Nice video summary of the NYT coverage of Antarctic research and exploration over the past century. #ClimateChange

Revealing, and very very disturbing. "Steve Bannon gloats about lack of ‘resistance’ to Trump’s second term."

Sheesh. "Federal immigration authorities allowed a suspect in a $100m jewelry heist...to deport himself to South America in December, a move that stunned and upset prosecutors who were planning to try the case and send him to prison:

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The idea that a U.S. president would threaten to invade Greenland because Norway didn’t give him a Nobel Prize is pathetic. This has nothing to do with foreign policy. It’s a president acting like a narcissistic spoiled child because his feelings got hurt. Unacceptable.

BREAKING: A Minneapolis Speedway gas station just kicked slimeball Border Commander Greg Bovino out of their business. "We do NOT support ICE, get off of our property" This is what democracy looks like!

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control. Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances. I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone. I need to share with you what I saw.

This declaration from WaPo journalist Hannah Natanson describing what the FBI took is utterly devastating. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Terrorizing families (From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

Even as ICE receives $170B in new funding, it has stopped paying for medical care for detainees — including life-saving medications, dialysis, and chemotherapy treatments. Remember: Over 70% of detainees have no criminal convictions. Cruelty on steroids.

Wow. #NoKings #Davos2026

COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland? NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

#StopTheSaveAct This will impose a steep cost - an unconstitutional poll tax - to obtain acceptable ID and disenfranchise tens of millions of women who took their husband's last name. @democrats.senate.gov - kill this bill!

Incredible quote here from a Somali small business owner in Minneapolis who voted for Trump. minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/19/a...

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Jessica: The WSJ is reporting that there are incentives for ICE Agents because they need to meet that insane 3,000 people per day quota—they are getting rewarded even if they bring in people who then get released…

#GVerse #FuckICE is asking the public for volunteers right now. Black Panthers are NOT having the same issue!

The Black Panthers are back and they're patrolling Minneapolis. #PowerToThePeople

Ellison: This is the essence of dictatorship. It’s the essence of it. And we’ve got to get over the idea that this couldn’t happen here. Not only could it happen here—it’s happening here.

An important, illuminating @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social piece you should read. About how the norm-smashing Trump regime's turning the federal law enforcement and judicial systems into what German Jewish anti-Nazi lawyer (and political scientist) Ernst Fraenkel in 1941 called the Nazis' "dual state."

That he feels it is pathetic enough. But to announce it is humiliatingly next-level pathetic.

Extortion payoffs by U.S. universities to the Trump Administration so far, by % of endowment: • Columbia 1.25% • Brown 0.6% • Yale 0.5% • Cornell 0.5% • Northwestern 0.5% Four months ago Trump claimed and Harvard denied they were “very close to paying about $500 million”—0.9% of its endowment.

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Arlit Maria Martinez is a mother of 4. Her son, Kevin, died of cancer while she was in ICE custody. ICE refused her request to be at Kevin's side in his final moments. They must let her attend Kevin’s memorial. Arlit, I hope you hear how many patriots stand with you.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

The South Carolina measles outbreak is growing at an astounding speed More than 500 people are in a 21-day quarantine and about 200 are "actively infected." The largest outbreak currently in the U.S. has spread to at least three other states

Gov. Walz to MS NOW: "Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic. "The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

This person, my son, earned a Pulitzer Prize. If he gave it to me, it would still be his. I am a rational person who fully realizes that i did not earn a Pulitzer Prize. ( of course i wouldn’t accept it)

DELETED After lying about this baby they gassed and almost killed in their own neighborhood, DHS deleted their post

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.
