BREAKING: Judge dismisses murder, weapons charges against alleged UnitedHealth CEO killer Mangione reut.rs/45Fin56

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Abolish OpEds. If these assholes want their voices to be heard start a blog or a newsletter or whatever.

I think it’s worth keeping in mind that the specific church that was protested, inspiring these outrageous constitutional violations by DOJ, is part of the network of Christian Nationalist churches tied to Doug Wilson and attended by Pete Hegseth.

biggest threat to children in our cities is people driving cars. hands down weather inside or out of a car it’s not the folks working hard in shadow, folks fleeing tyranny at home, folks coming to take part in the 🇺🇸 dream tired of the vilification of my neighbours and urban space

I know things are negative right now, but there’s a really inspiring movie in theaters starting today about a woman who worked up from being Jeffrey Epstein’s employee to being his best friend’s wife.

You up @schumer.senate.gov?

Hey @schumer.senate.gov you up?

The GenX split hinges on race & urbanism. If you were born in 1974 you lived through the Central Park 5 the Crack & AIDS epidemics, Rodney King, OJ & on & on before you were 25. If you were watching from some cul de sac none of that seemed real. But in the cities…

He @schumer.senate.gov you up?

When Chicagoans say we don't want anything to do with this guy, this is what we mean.

ICE activity has been ramping up in Chicagoland again this month. The city's northwest side rapid respsonse team is reporting 2 people taken this morning from Chicago's heavily Latine Humboldt Park neighborhood, and advising that agents may still be in the area.

Uh, that's borderline abuse. I never understood the appeal of him.

It gets better. His full name is Harry Hole. This is not a bit

Fyi. Julia Stratton has been the only Illinois Senate candidate to call for abolishing ICE.

Israel Idonije’s north star is building fun and vibrant concepts that raise the South Loop’s profile as a food and drink destination within Chicago, a city known for outstanding restaurants. “My hope is to invest in other minority-owned and -led concepts,” he said. thetriibe.com/2026/01/how-...

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom: "If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

Or hear me out. Don't reauthorize it.

Another helicopter flying over Edgewater.

Look if Minnesota is the hub then it's a Purple Revolution.

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

A thread of needful reading.

Current* conditions near Chicago, IL:

Yes because the night raid in Chicago went over so well. JFC.

Here is glimpse of multi-unit buildings that are for sale or sold in the last 12 months where the realtor advertises converting the building into a single family house. All. Across. Chicago. We are making dense, sustainable living unaffordable so others can live in single family mansions.

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

There is no meaningful reform. There is only abolition.

Good morning friends! Some things to remember when you call your senators today: 1. Renee Good's killer is still at large and has not faced justice 2. Alex Pretti's murderers are still at large, unnamed and still working on our dime. 3. 35 people died in ICE custody last year. 35 shattered families

Ahhhhh this quote. This is what I keep saying and I’ll say it til the day I die. A pebble starts an avalanche. Do the small thing you can. No effort is too small. You never know.

I know everything is horribly dangerous and awful right now but regular Americans actively loving their neighbors is so beautiful and spiritually fulfilling to see and participate in. AND ALSO it's very very funny that the right does not understand what it means to have friends and community.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"

Firing a few key faces at the top while maintaining the the fundamental system is one of the most common appeasement tactics in history. Don't settle for Bovino. Don't settle for Noem. Don't settle for Miller. ICE must be abolished. That is the bare minimum.

You can't reform this. It must be abolished.

Spain's left-wing government approved a plan to regularise around 500,000 undocumented migrants by decree, the country's latest break with harsher policies elsewhere in Europe

"CBP stays at the border" might sound like a win, but keep in mind that this is what "the border" means to them www.aclumaine.org/know-your-ri...

This is some weak ass shit.

If I were still living in Chicago, there would be no question who would get my vote in this race: www.chicagotribune.com/2026/01/26/i... - I've know Juliana for years - before she was in politics. She is a person with deep integrity and importantly she is also really kind.

When Robin Kelly says “dismantle ice” she actually means “make an agency that everyone can trust again.” How do I know? That’s what she literally just said on stage in @wbez.org’s debate. No. Abolish.

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE: Renee Good: $1,499,580 Alex Pretti: $1,289,249 Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423 Parady La: $45,848 Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991 Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640 Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538 Geraldo Lunas: $2,260 Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

Stratton going for Raja's jugular.

Pro Football Hall of Famer John Randle posted a statement about ICE as text overlays on various portraits of himself and I kind of love it

Heads up, #Iowa folks.

This campaign is gaining steam all across the district because voters know we NEED authentic representation in Congress right now — I’m honored to have the support of so many Evanstonians including Alderman Matt Rodgers!

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

It is a huge, horribly costly W for the people of Minnesota. I’m in awe of what they’ve done. Miniature fascist Bovino and various other fed thugs will just go somewhere else to do the same things. Give them hell and also, abolish ICE 👊🏻

Welp, I just tripped over the uneven sidewalk while walking Dolly and banged up my knee. Happy Monday to me!
