A great read from someone who used to be inside NIH sharing why those of us still there may be quieter than expected: elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/what-nih-s...

Never reactivate it.

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

1/21 OK we are gonna start with this story. This is gonna be long and a little nuanced so stick with me. There will be a lot in here that will address SSA employees directly so if you know an SSA employee, please share with them! And if you see any errors or gaps in my knowledge, please let me know!

The underlying principle of the Trump presidency is that rules are merely instruments of power with no inherent legitimacy. If Clinton or Obama had done this the GOP would have howled for impeachment, and they'd have been right.

The US DOD has just blacklisted military personnel from taking courses at most of America's top universities and specialist tech and medicine schools, including Harvard, Yale, MIT and Johns Hopkins. Somehow I don't see the PLA making this kind of unforced error.

"Whats wrong with the Masons? I'm a Mason. Hey, that fella's talking about me!" "And that makes a difference, doesn't it?" In 1945, Dont Be a Sucker was made as a warning and reminder.

Police don’t wear masks. State troopers don’t wear masks. The National Guard doesn’t wear masks. But you know who does? White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.

Say Its Name What Trump and his MAGA followers are doing to the US and to the world has many names, but one nature. They are desecrating the rule of law; destroying the public's confidence in science, experts, and government; looting the public purse and enriching billionaire oligarchs. They are…

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

@altspaceforce.altgov.info @alt-hhs.altgov.info @altnih4science.bsky.social (pass it on) Heritage Foundation published their plan to repress women last month. This has far-ranging implications, and has probably been overshadowed by ICE activity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbyz...

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today. Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Technologists for good.

WELL then. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

They dismantled the Dept of Education, much of the CDC, NSF and nih in a year so it's totally doable to dismantle DHS. You can also expedite the process by treating those officials like the entire federal workforce has been treated. Make em miserable, and rip out wires at random. That'll do it.

Thanks, boss. 💞

"Anyone else notice how the Proud Boys, Three Percenters, Oath Keepers, Patriot Front, etc. were always out there marching to support and protect law enforcement...until recently?" asked University of Washington biologist Carl T. Bergstrom. www.rawstory.com/ice-proud-bo...

100% agree. Calling them “federal agent/law enforcement” legitimizes them. They are rent-a-militia with unchecked powers on the streets.

Moments after Alex Pretti was killed, this photo was taken by Minnesota resident & photographer David Guttenfelder, NYT.

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)

IMPORTANT‼️ Repost for all to know.‼️ ICE now pretending to be regular citizens to trick you. www.instagram.com/p/DT6ec8DAEVX/

I want to talk about AltNPS, Minneapolis, #AltGov, and Luddites. One of my fears have come true. I knew this would happen when I made my AltNPS video, but it sucks to be right. And I know I'm not American, and I may not have the "right" to do so, but I will, because this is history repeating. 🧵

Training doesn't fix this.

Like JD is any different. This doesn’t end until the entire party is purged including the SCOTUS traitors. Every. Single. One.

Holy shit.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

-[2nd amendment freaks spend 50 years insisting everyone should be allowed to carry guns to resist tyranny] -ah, well, no, not like that

So horrible Do NOT fund ICE @schumer.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @senatepress.bsky.social @rosen.senate.gov @sencortezmasto.govpeeps.us @markey.senate.gov

The 2026 US pledge of allegiance: I pledge allegiance to Trump, and the regime for which he controls, one empire, under the white Christian god, separate, with subjugation and inequity for the powerless and liberty and wealth for the powerful.

Jonathan Ross is a murderer. ICE is paid to murder Americans

It is in oligarchs’ interest to end the nation-based world order. National laws interfere with their actions. Watch for Trump to invite one to his Peace Board.

Worth tracking down tonight's Anderson Cooper's AC360, first ten minutes, w Sen @gallego.senate.gov . Gallego is holding nothing back. (See attached image, from this story www.rawstory.com/ruben-galleg... I heard this live.) Text gives you the gist; worth finding video for the vibe.

The President of the United States is batshit crazy.

You do good work in normal times @delauro.house.gov but these aren’t normal times. It wasn’t enough to oppose increased ICE funding, his private gang of military wannabes needs to be abolished. He committed war crimes (perfidy) already and will again. He’s a global disgrace. You need to fight back

ICE agents at a hotel in St. Paul woke up this morning to news that they’re getting kicked out of their hotel today at noon.

Get Up Off Your Asses,Congress....

Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019. Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

Minnesota is going to effectively shut down on January 23 — no work, no school, no shopping — because faith and labor are mobilizing against the ICE occupation and cruelty. minneapolisunions.org/system/files...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

From Brent Molnar: Invade Greenland? Here's what happens. If the US tries to seize territory from a fellow NATO member, the world as we know it ends. Consequences will not be sanctions or angry letters. They will be total & devastating. This is Putin's agenda. Not ours. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
