Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

This is Chloe. She doesn't understand why she can't have any of your Chinese food. Brought over a clean plate and everything. 13/10 (TT: morgansieberrr)

They need all protestors to be paid operatives because they cannot abide the possibility that somewhere in the world, people sincerely believe in standing up for others. It isn’t enough that they’ve chased all moral virtue from their own hearts. They want a world where no virtue exists in anyone.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this. We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

The President of the United States today called an entire ethnic group “very low IQ people.” This occurred as ICE in Minneapolis continues to arrest lawfully present Somalis and other refugees and fly them to Texas detention centers to be interrogated by government officials.

What's remarkable is not just that Trump is so loathsome and narcissistic that he doesn't care when an innocent woman is killed in a protest unless and until he finds out that her dad was a fan of his ... it's that he's so disregulated he *can't help but say so out loud*.

Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found. On Thurs., Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. ET, we’ll be on Reddit taking your questions about the continued fallout of slashing aid for some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. 📌 Save the date:

This is Pioppi. He didn't pop up for any particular reason, just likes looking at you. 13/10 (IG: pioppibluestaffy)

Lavrov: “If Greenland is ‘U.S. security,’ then Crimea is ‘Russian security.’” Russia predictably using this as cover. Putin is pleased.

The combined wealth of America’s 900 billionaires is greater than the combined wealth of the 67,000,000 households which make up the poorer 50% of the country.

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

"Battalions of armed federal agents are moving thru neighborhoods, transit hubs, malls & parking lots & staging near churches, mosques & schools. Strangers w/guns have metastasized in spaces where daily life should be routine & safe... like a military occupation." www.startribune.com/editorial-mi...

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Jesus famously did not disrupt proceedings at a place of worship and call out religious hypocrisy

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Here are three videos of reported drone sightings in the Twin Cities tonight (1/3)

How dare the press *checks notes* focus on the president threatening to take an ally's territory by force because he didn't get a peace prize, which would then lead to the destruction of the world's largest security pact.

Please do not refer to this "Board of Peace" as a UN-like entity. It is a Mar-a-Lago Club / Rose Garden Club inspired membership with ONE person collecting fees, ONE person being in charge with neither citizens nor leaders having ANY say about anything. Let's keep our heads on a swivel. Please.

so i made this shirt and would love it if you guys would buy one and/or share!

i want to help and i don’t know how. i take care of my very sick 85 year old dad 24/7. how can i help with all of this if i can’t go protest etc? is there a good place to donate to help those who are out in the streets?

“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.

🧵 3:48pm 1/18/26 Norwegian and Finnish leaders sent Trump this message

Cops at her front door, holding a phone to her face, asking if that's her Facebook account. What the fuck are we doing here?

DHS said in October that "comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences." After I found one of their lawyers for ICE is a racist and a self-described fascist who has praised Hitler, there have been no consequences.

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

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah. It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

BRENNAN: You said 'occupying force.' Don't you think that's a bit much? FREY: When you have 3,000 ICE agents and CBP come to your city, when you've got this supposed threat of 1,500 military coming to your city, that's very much what it feels like

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good? BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

I'd wager this is the angriest statement ever issued by the Nobel Peace Prize people...

so are we calling it CWII or CW2 or something different?

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger just issued an executive order shutting down state police cooperation with Trump’s ICE immediately after taking office.

Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

Trump is demanding $1B from countries seeking permanent seats on his “Board of Peace,” per draft obtained by Bloomberg. Plan puts Trump in control of funds, terms many states deem unacceptable. Netanyahu rejected it, as several countries push back, wary Trump is building a UN rival under his control

Make no mistake, he is justifying violence if he objects to the outcome of an election. Keep that in mind as we prepare for 2026.

GOV. WALZ CALLS UP MINNESOTA NATIONAL GUARD TO "PROTECT THE PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE PEACEFULLY" “We are staged and ready to respond. We are not deployed to city streets at this time" said MN NG Army Maj. Andrea Tsuchiya,...

I just want people to know that there is no active insurrection, no regular protests, no rioting or whatever. The only time people are in the streets is when masked armed ICE thugs descend on one of our neighbors to disappear them as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign.

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