"Political change cannot be engineered or forced from the outside without warping its outcome. Societies do not reach stability through the triumph of one faction imposed by foreign backers, but through internal rebalancing shaped by their own social forces" newrepublic.com/article/2051...

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

We are so far past the Rubicon that it isn't worth having a discussion anymore as to whether Trump is acting as an authoritarian. The only question is whether we have the strength and courage to get back to the other side.

The president said "Fuck you" to a citizen and only the citizen will face any consequences

🚨New details on “Operation PARRIS” are emerging. Groups on the ground estimate that at least 100 people with full refugee status have now been arrested and sent to Texas to be detained for interrogation about their status and possible removal proceedings. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

The fact that this is even a conversation is highly embarrassing

Iranian medical staff report that security forces are deliberately targeting protesters’ heads and eyes with live ammunition. Doctors say they are treating hundreds of gunshot wounds concentrated in the face and eyes - a tactic rights groups note was used before. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.

Abolish ICE

Will the UAW fight for this worker and his free speech rights? Not like factory workers have a morality/best behavior clause in their contract…

UPDATE: TJ Sabula, the worker who shouted "pedophile protector" at Trump, has been suspended - WaPo

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

The story www.propublica.org/article/vide...

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

“.. Federal agents grab a woman to drag her away from her car, days after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.” @reuters.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

Ya know, normally "changing your story" would simply be called lying.

People magazine doing better reporting than half the clowns in legacy media right now

this is a very good sign

The best to ever do it?

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

🙂

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Every week is overwhelming evidence of what we saw with our own eyes, but which our credulous media was afraid to print: the Nazi salute was a Nazi salute

They assume we must all be getting paid to rise up cos: A) they can't imagine a scenario where they would stand up for a stranger without financial incentive B) they received financial incentives or free passes to cause trouble C) there is insane funding behind them, and they draw small crowds

DHS won't release information about the people they've taken except to claim that 10 out of these more 280 people have criminal charges

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

once again: ICE is operating as if they have a general warrant, the specific type of warrant the founders were most concerned about when drafting the 4th Amendment

When I talk about leaving the door open for Trump voters, and about looking for recruits instead of alliances or convenience, this is exactly what I mean No one had to compromise any values here. No one made the left more paletable by throwing trans people under the bus. And yet, here she is

this is a very calculated escalation of the common police strategy to shout contradictory or impossible to follow commands at someone in order to justify violence against them

Ahh, good old Brooklyn Dud…Defiant!

More postal workers die on the job every year than have died in the entire history of ICE.

Every time I see this guy I remember how he went to Nick Fuentes’s white supremacist groyper conference in 2022, but left early & when I called him to ask for comment he refused to say that Fuentes/groypers were bad now he’s got secret police & is threatening violence against anyone who protests

Pathetic!!!

Pretty clear at this point that the only thing they were worried that this force was going to work to prevent racist violence; an armed, federal, domestic police force that *enacts* racist violence? baby that's just a good time for a conservative.

Horrible. Arson attack today at Mississippi’s largest synagogue, on Shabbat, destroyed multiple Torahs and left parts of the building in ruins

The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!" The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."

yeah why don't you losers prosecute the ice guy yourself. or withhold funding for dhs yourself. grow a pair and commence your own impeachment proceedings. also i have early-onset dementia

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Warnock voted yes on the Laken Riley Act along with a LOT of other Democrats.

We visited Renee Good's memorial. There, we met a group of Somali Minnesotans — who too have been viciously attacked for weeks — warmly hosting everyone. Flowers & stuffed animals galore. Neighbors continually offering sambusas & hand-warmers & water. Grief. And belief. Scenes from Minneapolis:

We are in a bad moment, and more bad will undoubtedly come, but the need to push back, the need to confront and challenge the empty hate of the Trump administration, has never been more clear.

Sen Chris Murphy wants to require warrants and ban masks as a requirement for more ICE funding. WHY ARE YOU GIVING THEM FUNDING HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING.

I can't believe local government is cowering while local normies are trying to protect their community. Just letting guys with guns threaten people like this

Some Kentucky Republicans want to ban naturalized Americans from holding public office, as the GOP drives ever-further into xenophobia. www.lpm.org/news/2026-01...

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )
