Someone please explain to me how the U.S. can credibly host the World Cup when the country is demonstrating that simply “looking like” a non-citizen, or being present around ICE enforcement, regardless of race or citizenship, can get you detained, hurt, or killed

Four GOP Senators. At most four Repubs in the House. Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

Since when was it a conservative position to support armed thugs in masks scooping up people off the street without due process? Law enforcement should not hide their faces. If their behavior is such that they need to be anonymous, they're doing it wrong.

🤦‍♂️

Alex Witt asks a Danish Parliament member how he feels about Stephen Miller's comments on taking Greenland. Alex Witt then backs down and apologizes to Stephen Miller for the analogy. @ms.now.. that was pathetic.

Putin cannot defeat or destroy NATO. But Trump can tear it apart for him. And he will.

Trump is selling pardons every week to people who pay $1-2 million to his PAC and is approaching 2,000 corrupt and disgusting pardons less than a year into his term, but yeah “no one is above the law.”

the fact that Republican senators like Schmitt can’t even write a fascist screed on their own and instead have to rely on chatGPT perfectly captures the unique combination of evil and stupid that defines the modern Republican Party

History is making fun of us

Is any Democrat besides Jamie Raskin going to talk about Trump selling pardons for millions of dollars to some of the most disgusting fraudsters and drug dealers in history? Any one of these is an impeachable offense and there are new ones almost every day. He isn’t even hiding the quid-pro-quo.

I’m tired of the phrase, “they should have just complied.” For one, the term ‘comply,’ has connotations and a long rooted history in racism and subjugation. Compliance is a term historically used to define one’s place. In society, humanity, community. Obey, and it’s all good. Don’t…

“Hey Minnesota people, if you vote me to be governor, I will be arresting all of you. So vote for me!” What an absolute idiot.

I told everyone this was their “plan” when people started talking about legislation. The plan is Trump told credit card company to lower rates by Jan 20 and that’s it. Just another stunt to fool people into thinking they’re doing something. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Narrator: no they do not

To characterize the document the White House produced as a health care “plan” is overly generous. The entirety of the proposal — literally, from start to finish — is 386 words. There is no bill. The plan, for all intents and purposes, does not exist. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

1/ While Addison is not named in any of the foreign bribery schemes for which Vitol has admitted wrongdoing and paid substantial penalties, Vitol’s history of corruption combined with Addison’s roughly $6 million in donations to PACs supporting Trump… www.justice.gov/archives/opa...

If a Democratic president had done something like this, Fox and the GOP would have turned Adriana Camberos into a household name à la Willie Horton or, yes, Hunter Biden. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

thread about X’s new TOS. tldr is musk can now sue users for any reason in a TX court he basically owns, so he’ll almost certainly win. and this is a platform politicians and journalists largely refuse to leave.

Of course he will

A few reflections on the US in the darkness of Trump: 1. The US is unable to defend any values. 2. The US lacks all checks & balances. 3. The US establishment is cowardly & ineffective. Shut up about the free & brave! They are elsewhere, in Ukraine for example.

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis. Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

Minneapolis is now the Battle of Trumpingrad

You know people are unpopular when corporate brands come along to personally disavow any connection.

I don’t say “Fuck ICE” nearly as often as I should.

“You may have never been to Minneapolis or even known someone personally from Minnesota. But MLK reminds us that they are our neighbors, that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere and that we are a part of an inescapable network of mutuality.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Of course they are

🚨🚨🚨🚨

There’s no real debate. I have witnessed a very small number of ICE activists advocating for carrying firearms or even trying to agitate by physically striking ICE vehicles, etc. Let’s be clear: the incredibly vast majority of people resisting ICE correctly believe these people are fools.

CBS News aired it in full. CBS never disclosed this threat. And it was a softball interview. Legacy media is not going to protect us. It won't even defend itself. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

An important thing I'm seeing is how the cruelty of ICE has broken through to the mainstream Combine that with Republicans refusing to extend healthcare subsidies, yanking food and childcare assistance, and international threats, now Trump's regime can no longer hide that harm is their goal

If only half the country weren't oblivious to current reality. People don't know or understand much of this. They believe a lot of lies, and base decisions on norms, opinions and stereotypes that haven't been accurate for decades. The right wing lie machine is louder than what's left of real "news."

It’s not enough to say “Abolish ICE,” we must demand to PROSECUTE ICE! This is how we change conduct now before ICE ca be abolished. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/its-not-en...

👏

Panel of New York Times reporters interview Emperor, fail to note his nudity.

His handlers try to keep him happy and occupied while they enact their evil agendas. He's never cared about nor understood policy. He cares about bragging rights and revenge. So they threaten his enemies and give him tidbits he can use to claim victory, and tell him how smart and successful he is.

👏

🚨BREAKING: A right-wing agitator who was confronted by Minneapolis ICE protesters just hit someone with his car—and continued to drive off—from parking garage. It's unclear if it was an ICE protester he hit or their condition. "They just ran into somebody as they drove away." ⬇️

The first sale of Venezuelan oil went to a guy who donated $6 million to Trump. The proceeds are now in a bank in Qatar.

Why are ICE Agents taking their children to work?

We know when power lies to protect itself. We know when cruelty is dressed up as policy. We’re choosing people over propaganda. #ChoosePeaceNotChaos

From an optics perspective... the protesters being the ones waving the US flag while Bovino et al looks like every awful nazi inspired movie we've ever seen... hats off to Minnesotans.

In freezing temperatures, thousands marched across Minneapolis demanding justice after the killing of Renee Good. From Powderhorn Park to the site of her death ＆ back, people showed up with resolve ＆ heart. One marcher said it best: “Love is all around us.” #ChoosePeaceNotChaos

Pepper spraying a 15 YO girl last night and threatening to shoot a child - a child! - in the head aren't exactly good optics, either. bsky.app/profile/male...

If only they put as much effort into defending the Constitution as they do protecting sexual predators.

🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

That's Greg Bovino, US Border Patrol Commander, in the middle btw. A little too on the nose.

The network that spiked the factual CECOT story went ahead with a thinly sourced claim about ICE officer Ross’ “internal bleeding.” www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

Get ICE out of Minnesota. When harm hits this state, communities show up for one another—rain or shine, heat or snow. Neighbors are demanding protection from a fascist regime and justice for Renee and all those killed by ICE. #ChoosePeaceNotChaos
