👀 According to this, Trump has a lower approval rating in Iowa than every state except Maine with an even remotely competitive Senate election in 2026 (all states not rated solid by @larrysabato.bsky.social).

It's critical that in the coming weeks Democratic leaders in Congress spend more time with historians of fascism and global leaders who have fought authoritarian regimes than they spend with their data bros counseling cowardice. For anyone thinks we are winning rn they aren't paying attention.

In Trump’s first term, the family separation policy caused massive outrage and forced them to backtrack. Kidnapping children off the street? Man.

look what they’re doing to my city. apologies for the camerawork

This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

🚨ICE violently dragged a U.S. veteran out of her car near Minneapolis ICE: Get out of the f*cking car! Vet: You know I'm a Marine Corps veteran? ICE: I don't care what you are! [ICE drags her from car & then points taser at passenger] ICE: "F*cking move I'll f*cking taze you!"

Andy Beshear + Robert H. Jackson = ideal 2028 Dem nominee

Republican Party of Minnesota announces Michele Tafoya's candidacy for governor by misspelling her name (there's only one L)

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

Liar told lie we want to believe

Trump demanding Senate Republicans abolish the filibuster so that he can ban banning plastic straws

There really are so many undiscovered choke points

every time I read this, I get apocalyptically apoplectic about how clear it is. it is instant. it does not require explicit congressional action to invoke, it instead only requires that to remove. donald trump is not the current president right now, according to the constitution.

If Minnesota police are accusing you of racial profiling you must really be outta control

1000000 percent this

I recommend watching the entire speech because he says that ICE is mostly composed of good people and that ICE has an important role in society. Literally the first line of his speech was to the effect of: we shouldn't abolish ice

Chief Bruley has received calls from ICE and HSI agents saying "this is not how they act, this is not what they do." Chief, they don't mean they're sorry. They mean they're sorry they got caught doing it to cops.

Chief Bruley, after giving compelling presentation recognizing how widespread ICE lawlessness is, says "this is not widespread."

Really baffling speech that he gave. Here's a summation: he cares about the police being racially profiled but says that ice performs a valuable role in enforcing immigration law. He then went on to say that ice is mostly good people and that there's only a few bad apples

Rochester, Willmar, St. Cloud, St. James, New Ulm, St. Peter, Mankato, Duluth...

Ellison could run for governor, but he isn't because he knows what he's doing as AG is critical and we need him there. Not exactly major career sacrifice, but an example at least of a politician setting aside some of their ambition to help others.

Good. Do it.

TC law enf. leaders on @mprnews.org, @wcconews.bsky.social rn, Brooklyn Park chief Mark Bruley is completely out to lunch. He thinks that only a "small group" of ICE agents are causing problems, but admits he has no idea how many that actually is!

if you’re in MN and haven’t seen the link: www.iceoutnowmn.com

minnesotans are prepping for a massive statewide protest on friday, a day where it will be -10. that’s how much we hate ICE.

modern american politics consists of experts patiently explaining why something insane that people are talking about could never happen, followed by that exact thing happening

What is hope, if not spite persevering?

Just to be clear: the President is single-handedly dragging America to economic crisis and war with our closest allies. And why? To conquer an overseas territory that we have no claim to, have never had a claim to, and already have military bases on. Oh, and because he didn’t get a prize.

And absolutely they should sanction American businesses (especially X), maybe starting with the list of donors for the ballroom bsky.app/profile/jjay...

Faine is right that the EU needs to make clear to American voters in every way possible that the world will simply choose not to deal with us if we continue to sustain a government that behaves the way Trump’s is They should also offer asylum to all targeted populations (they won’t but they should)

Evergreen Comix.

90 day suspension of US tourist visas and this is all over

Absent total economic collapse or literal war, I think we may have found the floor of support for Trump. He's been hovering around 40% approval for 2 months, and I don't know what else is left to make it go down further. fiftyplusone.news/polls/approv...

JD should be whipping for impeachment and removal

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone. The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets. We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.

Trump: the Europeans are failing to protect the Arctic from Chinese and Russian aggression. Also Trump: we need to deploy our premier Arctic frontline troops to quell Minnesotan civilians going about their lawful business

Well apparently there is now

They’re trying to deport witnesses to a murder by ICE guards

Seahawks score 49 points challenge

If Trump is running college football now, can he put the teams back where they are supposed to be?

If anything, the terrorism is more important to their project than the deportations themselves. The only way they could ever "remove" 14 million people from this country is for most of them to remove themselves.

🚨 On Friday, January 23, MN stands together. 🛑 No Work. No School. No Shopping. 📍 March in Downtown Mpls at 2PM We demand: ➡️ #ICEOutOfMN now ➡️ The officer who killed #ReneeGood must be held legally accountable ➡️ No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming budget Join us!

ME: can you confirm my priors? REPORTER: you can just read the story like everyone else ME, confused, points to my already-drafted quote post: please. my priors

The post-1964 GOP lives on dog whistles and dies on horn sections.

Jimmy Kimmel offers to let Trump have one of his trophies if he will pull ICE out of Minneapolis.

1. It's been more than a day since 2 of America's most storied newsrooms, CBS and ABC, reported that killer ICE agent Jon Ross suffered "internal bleeding" based on unnamed sources Since then - No other news org has confirmed the story - No evidence (photos, medical records) has been produced
