A lot of people are ignoring the racism even when they criticize Trump, and it’s noticeable

“Today’s dismissal confirms what the data shows: government attorneys are having an increasingly difficult time defending the lawlessness of the president and his cabinet,” said Skye Perryman, Democracy Forward's president and CEO.

New standards in politics should include a ceiling for how much politicians can earn besides their MP salary. #HonestPolitics

I've been waiting for this. Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window. It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.

I wonder if there’ll be a minutes silence for the three slaughtered here. I know we’ve never held a minutes silence for women & children slaughtered by their men in Aust. I don’t think we’ve even tightened gun laws despite the slaughterhouse that Aust is for women experiencing Domestic Violence

The US is due to officially exit the World Health Organization in the face of warnings that it will hit both US and global health, and in violation of a US law that requires Washington to pay the UN health agency $260 million in fees that it owes reut.rs/4a6aQPg

This is a national emergency. These are all gendered hate crimes. We need a Royal Commission into Male Violence Against Women. How many more women must die at the hands of violent men before we see real action?

2 women have just been murdered in a NSW town today by a man who had an AVO out against him. The police are calling it a domestic violence attack. The first woman he shot & killed was his ex partner in her car along with the man that was with her. He then travelled

Benjamin Netanyahu can't sign the Gaza Board of Peace agreement in Davos because Switzerland have said they will arrest him if he enters the country. It is a Board of War Criminals.

Remember: a Labor government is better than a Coal-ition one. Really? Hint: the WA EPA just said it's OK for the US frackers to frack the Kimberley. #duopoly #capturedstate #fossilcriminals #auspol #wapol www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uXo...

Wind and solar used to play a niche role when I started to work on energy in 2004. Last year they overtook fossil generation in the EU for the first time.

🚨"Theyr're dumping people in the woods" - Medical workers are flagging potential cases of federal agents releasing injured detainees in the most inhumane method possible. LIVE NOW⬇️

by the way, all of this, dozens of goons, weapons brandished massive teargassing of public space, people beaten in the street, destroying two intersections on either side of my neighborhood, horror, all seems to have been to create a distraction to abduct crying two teenagers who were here legally

Chicago, the temp is going to drop late tomorrow night, and we'll see wind chills of −30 °F or lower on Friday and Saturday. Check on unhoused neighbors and people without reliable heat. Make sure they know their options. If you venture out, wear your warmest coat and cover up as much as you can.

The fundamental problem here is not one of bad apples. This is what the agency is designed to do. The barrel is bad to start with.

A storm could bring snow, sleet or freezing rain to about 55 percent of the contiguous U.S. this weekend. Temperatures will dip lower than minus-30, as a polar vortex sends dangerously cold air into the Midwest, Great Lakes and New England. https://wapo.st/4t7pXzA

HIGHLAND PARK RALLY + WALKOUT to ABOLISH ICE In Solidarity with Minnesota Friday, Jan 23 12:00 noon Highland Theater, 5604 N Figueroa St

The fascist military occupation of the Twin Cities, and communities throughout Minnesota, is being opposed with a general strike on Friday, January 23 endorsed by a large and diverse coalition of organizations. #GeneralStrike #ICEOutForGood #AbolishICE #ICEOutOfMN #Walkout

The Trump administration singles out Maine Governor Janet Mills, a Democrat, as one of the reasons for ICE’s operation.

Of course it’s legal to record ICE agents, but the same phone that documents can also expose you through facial recognition, location tracking and data access. Here’s a quick guide to reducing your digital footprint while still holding authorities accountable ⬇️

After illegally abducting Maduro, Trump has just sold $250M of Venezuela's oil to Vitol. John Addison, a senior trader at Vitol who helped broker the deal, gave $6M to Trump's 2024 campaign. Pay-to-play imperialism.

Tragedy in New Zealand after rain causes landslide.

The government is living in an alternate reality. During WW2, Michael Foot and others wrote Guilty Men about the disastrous failure of the British elite’s appeasement policy: their inability to grasp the world they were living in. He’d have a field day with this lot.

#abcnews First breath: ‘11 people, including 3 journalists and two 13 year old boys, killed by Israel in Gaza strike.” In the next breath, “fragile ceasefire”. These utterances in the same sentence is complicity. To be clear, the ceasefire is over. #auspol

the mainstream media has been covering donald trump as a political figure for 11 years now. they know he is full of shit. they push headlines like "trump rules out using military force to take greenland" even though they know the context of his rhetoric. it is a deliberate misinformation tactic.

Occasionally we get tiny Goldcrests in the garden, hunting for insects amongst the evergreens. They’re resident in Britain, but some Goldcrests cross the North Sea to escape the harsher continental winters; people used to believe they rode on the backs of migrating Woodcocks. (watercolour) 🐡🪶

What’s happening in Minneapolis may soon be happening in your city. What are you prepared to risk to counter ICE’s bullying and brutality? This is a personal question that I wish I didn't have to ask — but it's something we must grapple with right now.

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

ICE involved in a shooting in a DHS operation in Los Angeles County this morning. It does not appear anyone was hit by gunfire. This wasn’t local police. This was federal immigration enforcement operating in neighborhoods, again, with guns out and answers missing.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury: “Just to be clear, Republicans in the Oversight Committee just voted NO on a motion to hold Pam Bondi & the DOJ in contempt of Congress for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act”

I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and have experienced some major cold snaps but this is the first time I've heard about exploding trees.

Terrorizing families (From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control. Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances. I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone. I need to share with you what I saw.

Given what we know about Trump when he posts things like this, we can assume he got absolutely nothing except what is already in place and he is making it sound like a big deal.

1/21/2026 - Minneapolis Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Which is exactly why he’s walked away with absolutely nothing beyond what was already there, after so many threats & making the US look like a duplicitous mobster-run kleptocracy, I suppose. All that leverage over Europe. What an utterly humiliating week for the US. I’m embarrassed on your behalf.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said on Wednesday that he would reject a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security for the rest of the fiscal year. But, according to NBC News, Democratic leaders did not state they would whip a vote to push all members to follow their “no” vote.

His job as the minority leader is to align his party to vote insync to maximize their impact. Him saying he will vote against it but not Whip is dereliction of duty for party leadership.

President Donald Trump's World Economic Forum speech went off the rails when he appeared to mix up Greenland and Iceland, lamenting that "until the last few days, when I told them about Iceland, they loved me.

Nothing says “I care about working people” like a speech to an audience of billionaires at an exclusive Swiss ski resort. https://bit.ly/4pQMopJ
