A favorite sign from today's NYC protest march

The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.

You know the thing where Musk seems smart until he starts talking about things you know about? Finance dudes are about to go through that with Trump.

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.

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

It is wild that the Supreme Court & FedSoc lawyers who all embraced the unitary executive theory on steroids never seemed to think about what would happen to the Fed.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

The Department of Justice has become the Department of Recriminations, and it would be terrible for the Federal Reserve to become the Federal Subserve. Congress didn't give Trump the power to run monetary policy, and it's up to Congress to ensure that he doesn't just steal it.

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

Holy shit moment. Good statement. The corrupt authoritarians and oligarchs are at the gates. There’s no alternative to fierce resistance and putting down their lawless crusade against the American Republic. x.com/federalreser...

Congratulations to John Roberts

These anti-Nick Shirley flyers have gone up around South Minneapolis — person who took these pictures said they are all over.

My mother grew up in Birmingham, AL. Upon seeing this at her local Target, she said something that stopped me in my tracks: “Not even Bull Connor did this kind of foolishness.”

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities. This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

Separate from the obvious misogyny of the last few days, it’s been striking to watch the right wing media apparatus really confront the role of normie middle-aged women as a leading and increasingly radical force of opposition to trump

Why did NYT editors sit on this for 3 days? Talk about burying the lede. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

ICE at Midway Target and seem to possible be leaving. Lots of community members here

2/2 To be clear: -I had an early account there, w large audience. (250k+) Have maintained the account *so it can't be hijacked.* -Have not posted since Nov 2024. Will not ever again, under Musk. -Check it every so often, as monitor of ever-rising Nazi, bot-porn, and general-racist tone.

No decent person or organization should be on Xitter any more.

NOEM: “We can’t trust the government anymore.” BASH: “You are the government.” NOEM: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”🤔 The only honest thing @KristiNoem said today

We're now living in a world where Germans are defending Europe from American Nazis.

Kneel or die.

Yet again, Elon Musk is pushing the insanely racist Great Replacement Theory that has directly inspired several mass murders from his fellow white supremacists. The richest man in the world who controls a massive media platform is *repeatedly* pushing this garbage and it should be a global scandal.

I mean, to be fair, the sort of subnormal droogs who infest ICE now do very much experience a woman laughing at them as being like murder, and murder triggers a right to self defense. It was probably going to be either Renee Good or some girl at a bar with these thug scum.

WELKER: Where is that $50,000? Did you keep it? HOMAN: I didn't take $50k from anybody & that's a question for the FBI. Bottom line I did nothing illegal. WELKER: But was there $50k in the bag? HOMAN: I'm not addressing it WELKER: But did you keep the money? HOMAN: $50k is ridiculous

The State of Minnesota is a separate sovereign, entitled to enforce its own laws. Feds are certainly entitled to conduct a parallel investigation, but not to freeze out state investigators. www.cnn.com/2026/01/09/p...

Message from my son in Minneapolis: “Pausing for lunch. Every store and restaurant has its doors locked due to fear of ICE. You have to knock to get in. It’s a lovely neighborhood and you can feel how tense and afraid everyone is thanks to Trump”.

Yes, Trump is a mortal danger to our freedom. But focusing on him alone is a huge mistake. An entire political party has betrayed us. As Edwin Eisendrath writes: "Since Trump came down that infamous escalator, Republicans have missed every off ramp on the highway to fascism."

I'm not a doctor or a nurse. I have no medical expertise. Far be it from me to diagnose anyone. I don't know what's going on with Trump. But I do know something is going on with him. We all can see it. Where is the scrutiny over his cognitive health that legacy media had for Pres. Biden?

Social media monitoring systems, cellphone location tracking, facial recognition, remote hacking tools — now being turned on Americans by ICE to target protesters. bit.ly/3Kq348R

Apparently the US government can kill people on the high seas, in other lands and on its own streets—and nothing will be done to stop it. The US is now a gangster state at home and a rogue state abroad, writes dag

An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire. One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched. The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

I can help clarify things for David French. Jonathan Ross is a human. Renee Good was a human. Then Ross shot her three times. Good is dead and Ross, while still a human, is a murderer. The only person who failed to recognize their humanity is Ross, not the people outraged by his violence.

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 )

NEW: A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from revoking lawful status of 10,000 people paroled into the country with “family reunification” status. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

BREAKING The U.S. State Department is urging U.S. citizens to leave Venezuela immediately due to security concerns. The State Department is advising Americans to remain hyper-vigilant about their surroundings, as armed militias are reportedly setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles.

“IT WAS MURDER” Several hundred people have formed a human banner at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach today (Sat Jan 10, 2026) 👏👏 (📸 Erik Castro)

More than 5,000 people here in Powderhorn Park protesting ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. #FuckICE #iceout #mpls #FuckTrump

Moving faster now in the road that's clear of ice. People are watching from their homes. Spontaneous chants are breaking out (and can periodically hear someone yelling, "a woman was murdered!").

Knoxville, Tennessee (not my photo)

The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting. Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV. The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence. This is not protection. This is occupation.

One conception of fascism is that it is the practices of colonialism turned inward toward the metropole.

Frey: "An individual from a car that was in the middle of a street was detained. ICE left the car in the middle of the street. The car wasn't even in park, so you got it just rolling down the street w/nobody in it. It could've hit anybody, including my own family. This is not about safety"

I live in Minnesota. I’m going to my kid’s school when it lets out today. Parents are making sure kids get safely to buses and cars so they get home. We’ll be filming. We’ll be there to protect our children from our government. It’s come to that. I expect it will be a huge crowd.
