AP News: 'Man shot during Minneapolis immigration crackdown has died, hospital record shows' "One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: “Boo hoo.” Agents elsewhere shoved a yelling protester into a car." apnews.com/article/immi...

Every Senate Democrat should unite against this bill, and Senate leadership should make sure they do. Now our job is to flood the Senate with calls demanding ICE Out For Good. Or you can send an email to your senators: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization. This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

“No work. No spending.” Minnesota workers strike tomorrow to protest ICE. @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social with the Working People Podcast hosted a critical conversation with union leaders on the eve of a massive general strike. inthesetimes.com/article/work...

As it absorbs the scene from Davos yesterday, the world seems to be asking two questions: “What is wrong with Donald Trump?” And, “What is wrong with America?” open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

US law requires 2/3 Senate approval for international treaties

And the appeals court says this is okay!

Congratulations to the judges of the 8th circuit. ICE got your message loud and clear.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime. www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

“He was just lifeless, like he had foam around his mouth. He had tears coming out of his eyes." Federal agents’ use of chemical weapons has hurt children at immigration raids, while walking down their block, and in their schools.

A predatory class, which demands not just the shirt off your back, but the skin as well. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

Don't worry, they're considering putting Stephen Miller in charge.... www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

what a shocking turn of events who could’ve seen this coming

In an act as evil and sinister as it gets, as revenge against the vote to release the Epstein files, Trump has vetoed a bill that would have provided clean drinking water for people in rural Colorado. To willingly poison families and children should fill all Americans with rage.

This! This is exactly how the Republicans' cash for HSA for the poor would work. That $1000-1500 would be eaten up just one or a few appointments or prescriptions. Then what? GOP - this isn't even a concept of a viable plan.

So the President did disclose a CIA drone strike inside Venezuela. And this does cross a red line of violating the UN Charter -- where the boat strikes on high seas had not. www.cnn.com/2025/12/29/p...

If you have ME/CFS or Long COVID or know someone with those diseases, you know how fragile their health can be. Please sign this letter to ensure their access to Medicaid is protected against new work requirements.

The Trump regime has announced a new escalation in its war on free speech and civil society. Pam Bondi sent a memo to every federal prosecutor directing them to go on offense against all organizations connected to “ANTIFA” — a loose ideology rather than an actual organization or group.

This!

Today is the start of 2 days of meetings of RFK Jr.'s ACIP, where vaccines skeptics outnumber actual scientists and medial experts. Their target: the Hep B vaccine, which has a ~90-98% (after 3 doses) effectiveness rate in preventing infection for up to 30 yrs. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Modern authoritarians seldom cancel elections, because they prefer the veneer of democratic choice that voting provides, and because they can tilt the playing field toward themselves. “No one likes an election better than Vladimir Putin,” the Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias told me.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Wake up! Why would ICE ever need chemical weapons and guided missile warheads? Why would they need a 700% increase in spending? And how do they justify spending more on ICE than the militaries of all but 15 countries?
