Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

UNREAL! Congressional hearing Tuesday with US citizen Marimar Martinez who was shot by ICE. Rep Garcia notes how the ICE agent bragged to his friends about shooting her, writing 'I fired 5 rounds, and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys." You can NOT reform ICE. Abolish and PROSECUTE ICE!!

From 2019: Jeffrey Epstein liked to describe himself as a “science philanthropist,” and academics liked to take his money. As more of Epstein’s enablers are uncovered, it’s worth asking why it was so easy for him to infiltrate science in the first place. Read more from @lopatto.bsky.social:

Luke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”

The United States sorely needs an opposition party right now.

"It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it." - Fred Korematsu Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Suggested sequel, from last night’s The Daily Show

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

The President of the United States appears to have begun a journey toward deciding that federal thugs murdering innocent people does not make the great TV he assumed it would. I wish we did not live in a world in which this counts as encouraging news, but it does.

National Nurses United, largest nurses' union in US, are holding actions over the coming week in honor of Alex Pretti and all others killed by ICE www.nationalnursesunited.org/week-of-acti...

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

Alex pretti was a Va nurse and a dog owner

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

This woman speaks for the majority of Americans. 🙌🙏🫶👇

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

I'm at a loss for words. I'm glad someone else has them.

Please share. 💔

Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

What we’ve seen in Minnesota should make you furious, but it should also inspire you.

Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul has until Wednesday to turn over employment records to the Department of Homeland Security as part of a surprise audit launched Friday, just hours after one of the shop's owners criticized ICE agents during a television interview. bit.ly/4r5AFol

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

I hate when people say "this is not how we do things in this country" in response to ... things we are doing in this country.

"There comes a point where we have to start questioning whether or not he’s actually aware of what’s happening around him & the harm he’s doing. It’s similar to historical figures like Nero or Caligula. Their madness took over & they started doing wildly destructive things. Trump is in that place."

John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, Sam Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Clarence Thomas are responsible for every death, every injury, every deportation without due process by DHS, and every dollar stolen from the people by this Mafia administration. They are killing democracy.

NEW and WOW: Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, and Canada are sending troops to Greenland amid continued threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to annex the territory, multiple outlets reported. www.newsweek.com/greenland-ge...

1/ I recently wrote about Frances Perkins—FDR’s Labor Secretary and first woman cabinet member. She is best known as the architect of the New Deal but she had a lesser-known achievement: She dismantled her era’s version of ICE.🧵

Here's an update from the post I shared a few days back. The 21 year old youngster who protesting peacefully & holding a speaker and was shot in the face by #ICE point blank has been permanently blinded in 1 eye! Please share this story widely!

But in a sense it's actually worse than a war crime, because there is no war. It's just a crime. It's a crime—murder—whether or not the aircraft can be identified as part of a military force.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

WATCH: One of North America’s dirty city-building secrets that we don’t talk about enough is the AWFUL ELEVATOR OLIGOPOLY that leads to elevators and their maintenance being RIDICULOUSLY expensive here compared to the rest of the world. Kudos to @uytaelee.bsky.social & @sightline.org for this video.

“People ask me to predict the future, but all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is too easy, anyway. You look around — the street you stand on, the air you breathe — and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better.” - Ray Bradbury

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”
