I link to this excellent piece in my post for tomorrow.

My wife, a Minneapolis native, reminding me it's dead of night in Minnesota in January, below freezing, and there's thousands of people outside

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

How is it that we don’t know the murderer’s name yet?

Make it viral.

The Trump regime finally figured out how to knock the Epstein files off the front burner.

Time to Ask if Stephen Miller Has Authorized Assault and Murder on Peaceful ICE Observers www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/07/t...

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf. America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

Minneapolis.

They will murder unarmed citizens and then accuse them of wrongdoing. Zero sense of accountability or shame.

People have been asking, when’s the next mass protest? Well, it ought to be today. We need a George Floyd-level turnout.

JFC @cbsnews.com, would you care to elaborate on the nature of ICE’s involvement?

Untrained “officers” performing uncoordinated operations. One agent telling the woman to leave, a second trying to open her door while a third is standing near the front of the vehicle without a clue (bad guy with a gun). Shitshow from the get go and murder

CBP just shot a woman "in the face" as she attempted to drive away in Minneapolis. Unconfirmed reports are that she's dead.

When do they start fixing the United States?

Historical aside: The flag below is a reference to "three percenters," an idea popular among some on the right — e.g., militia members — that only 3% of the colonial male population fought in the Revolution… …But historians think the actual percentage is closer to 25%. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Democrats in the Washington state legislature are now open to modifying their redistricting laws to allow them to fight back against mid-decade gerrymanders in Republican-controlled states, reported Politico's Natalie Fertig on Tuesday evening.

Heads up: Midterms are coming. However, these are the key talking points for the cuts that the BIG Ugly malevolent bill specifically timed to hit AFTER midterms. Save this.

This is correct. Indeed, Putin's top objective in his manipulation of Trump is to collapse the NATO alliance as quickly as possible. The Greenland maneuver was conceived in the Kremlin as a rapid path to disassembly of NATO, and their plan is now in its final stages of implementation.

The U.S. has seized an oil tanker linked to Venezuela and Russia after a weekslong pursuit.

This is piracy under the law of nations. And under section 1651 of title 18 of the United States Code, piracy under the law of nations is punishable by life imprisonment.

there isn’t even an objective to all the chaos and transgression, there are various individuals within the regime who have ideological objectives, but a regime where power is acquired exclusively by flattering the executive, but the executive believes nothing, cannot organize towards clear goals

I bet the U.S. holds the record for the most convicted felons pardoned by a convicted felon.

He rapes helpless little kids, murders innocent people who make an honest living fishing the ocean, and tosses an unwanted infant into the great lakes. And these are only a fraction of his crimes!! WHY is this vile and grotesque excuse for a human being in the WH and not in his prison cell?!!

In the world of MAGA, reality is suspended.

Not even a week into Mamdani’s term and we’re getting government price controls smdh

Notice you no longer see me on corporate media? I granted an interview yesterday with NPR and I have another tonight with Jessica Denson. I no longer grant Interviews to corporate media as my pain should not be their ratings gain.

JAN 6 Y’all know what you saw.

BREAKING -- Republicans on cusp of LOSING HOUSE GOP Rep. Doug LaMalfa has suddenly died - just as Marjorie Taylor Greene officially resigned from Congress Dems will add a seat 1/31 after special election runoff in TX-18 By 2/1, Mike Johnson can only afford to lose ONE vote

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Never forget.

Steph Curry Finally Finishes Eating Mouthguard

Colin and Sophie Hortman have been through the unimaginable, losing their mom and dad in a horrific act of political violence. Trump’s lies are dangerous and make their loss all the more painful. They deserve better, and so does our country.

As of Monday, all of Venezuela’s ruling officials aside from Maduro appear to have remained in their posts, including Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who controls the police and was known as one of Maduro’s most fearsome enforcers.

Sarah's work is sobering and alarming, but it's not exaggerated.

Any pediatrician who has practiced long enough has seen this. The worst death I ever was involved in was a previously healthy child who was otherwise immunized. No one was antivax, family just hadn’t gotten around to getting the flu vaccine that year. Absolutely tragic.

Data centers will be THE political issue in many key races around the country over the next several years & Dems need to get all over it because this is a grass roots issue that transcends party. Want to get back in the game in rural America? This is how. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I just want people to remember that what this was was transparently obvious at the time and universally condemned. Hold on to that fact and don't let people change it under you.

Never forget that 5 years ago today Trump sent an angry mob of MAGA lunatics to attack our Capitol. It was a deadly insurrection which not only cost lives, it cost the taxpayers a whopping $2.7 billion in damages. All this because a maniac refused to accept that he’d lost an election. SMDH 🤬

When a news outlet writes of January 6, “The political parties refuse to agree to a shared history of the event”—as the AP did here—but not that Trump’s supporters are lying about an event we all watched happen live, how is that not going along with Trump’s lies

Shame on America

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time? Really American FB

OUT: Helping you pay for health care. IN: Helping oil companies pay for their infrastructure in a foreign country.

This is Ollie. He found a perfectly placed carrot snack on his walk. Simply can't believe his luck. 13/10 best day ever (TT: maxime_aries)

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.

The First Amendment is circling the drain.
