I don’t want ICE in my community. I don’t want strange masked men taking my neighbors. I don’t want strange masked men lighting fires in my city. I want the world to see what’s happening in my community. I want Minneapolis to be left alone and not made into a war zone.

She was put on indefinite leave from the NIH because she spoke out against the abuses there. The NIH “Director” says that science shouldn’t be political, then he purges dissent. Well done @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social. Her courage is inspiring and I believe that one day it will be rewarded.

Anyway the real heroes of Minnesota are the countless volunteers doing boring shifts where nothing happens. The mom of three delivering food to 40 families in her kids’ school. The dad standing at the door of an elementary with a whistle for hours. The drivers endlessly looping, seeing nothing.

But almost never is pretty close.

“During his interview with Mr. Bongino, Mr. Trump tied his desire for partisan control of voting mechanisms to his administration’s agenda to find and deport undocumented immigrants from American cities. “If Republicans don’t get them out, you will…

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting. But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

For the record: I will not send another cent to Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller while the department they run is shredding the Constitution and murdering American citizens in the streets. A two-week extension is two weeks too long. I’m voting no.

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

“We learned growing up about a lot of horrible things people have done in history. And there’s a lot of asking yourself, ‘What would I have done if I was in that time period?’” Cory said. “And I found myself asking… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

When I saw Liam at the Dilley Detention Center, something was clearly wrong. He was lethargic, not eating, and depressed. Thankfully, Liam and his dad are back home in Minneapolis with their family. No child should ever endure this. We will not stop until this cruelty ends.

STAR TRIBUNE: “No Humanity” in the detention centers. Overcrowded cells where immigrants “have to take turns lying down” Private prisons raking in billions while they cut costs, feed them little, ignore health issues. All in our name. 🇺🇸 www.startribune.com/no-humanity-...

Hundreds of community members gathered to light candles and luminaries as part of a massive “ICE OUT!” message on Lake Nokomis for overhead air traffic on Saturday. Live updates: bit.ly/3MMvefi

Dems should demand a full ICE withdrawal from Minneapolis as a condition for any deal. Please, just give us this. Get them out

George Carlin always nailed it.

Watch @chrislhayes.bsky.social face when he picks up what @asharangappa.bsky.social is putting down. Keep in mind that Giuliani advised Trump in Dec 2020 the only way the DoD could seize voting machines is if there were foreign election interference, which Sidney Powell then tried to fabricate.

Measles cases this year have reached nearly 26% of last year's total cases, which totaled 2,255.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

This year, we're using every tool at our disposal to protect our democracy. We're making historic investments nationwide to ensure that everyone has the right to vote freely and safely without intimidation.

Corporate media is leaving out a big part of the FBI raid on Fulton County election offices. I discuss with @asharangappa.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

The junior lawyers and JAGs the administration is sending to replace MN prosecutors who have left "may be phenomenal people, but they don't have the judgment or the ability to stand up to a senior agency head in a meeting."

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

This is Georgia Fort as she’s being arrested by federal agents. Apparently, they had a grand jury indictment in hand. She was arrested for being an independent journalist who filmed the Cities Church protest.

This should piss everyone off, and our tax dollars paid for this. A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants. Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

Alarmed yet?

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

Fascism is here 🇺🇸

Another witness to Anderson Cooper: “Now is not the time to stay silent. We all need to be a little bit brave, and do what we can to stand up for our rights.”

Abolish DHS

Kristi Noem has an express ticket to Hell with Stephen Miller riding shotgun

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino. They must all resign and be held accountable.
