this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

This thread will make you sick. Read it anyway. The Nazis called the tactic under discussion here "Nacht und nebel."

This is a 3,600-word piece airing every bit of dirt Noem's detractors have aired in the last year, presumably to try to get her (and Corey) ousted. 2 words that don't appear anywhere? "Stephen Miller." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

ok

I long for the day when the only response to Johnson is “You never seem to know anything. What exactly do you do all day?”

This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost

This is what the gop is going to face for the next 3 years. Stuttering delusional old white guys dumbfounded when someone replies “of course I am in favor of my constitutional rights, why do you hate this country?” every time they assert the secret police should be able to kill you for talking back.

Trump is losing the war over ICE — both the culture war and the war in the streets. newrepublic.com/article/2062...

Ron Johnson is a horrible disgusting person BECAUSE he knows better, and he says those things anyway.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is that we should be more concerned about immigrants possibly being criminals than we are about those in the highest positions of power, who wear crosses, quote scripture, while actually just using Christianity as a tool to perpetrate injustice.

Minnesota still needs your attention

It's the American Way™ Same thing happened with Los Angeles, which ICE never left Attention spans of crack-addled goldfish

They’re still trying to deport Liam Ramos, for god’s sake. They will admit no wrong for executing Renee Good or Alex Pretti. We’re still having to feed and house tens of thousands of families, many legally in the country, because they are unsafe going outside. This has been going on for two months.

But Tom Homan puts on his grandpa glasses and pats the sheriff on the head and everyone ignores the actual terror campaign on the ground, and pretends there’s some sort of immigration emergency that requires a standing federal army rolling around my city in unmarked cars threatening children.

Look at what they’re doing to schools. Attendance cut in half or more in many. Armed, masked agents lurking in the parking lots at dropoff time, forcing families to physically protect children with their bodies. The other day ICE drew weapons outside an elementary school, forcing it into lockdown.

Our own government has done extraordinary damage to the economic and social fabric of this region, wreaking havoc for no discernible reason. It’s a terror campaign, not an immigration operation. It’s still happening.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Hey, Propaganda Barbie: We aren’t moving on from people trafficking 10-year-old children and this administration covering it up. Ever.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

If you’ve been vaguely worried but unsure how to talk about the kidnappings happening all around us, this might help.

Chuck if they want you to negotiate on whether they have to follow the Constitution you should not be willing to fund them at all.

We are murdering people and it is basically just background noise at this point. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/u...

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

This is what the mainstream media (now on its second attempt to spread this false story) keeps referring to as "de-escalation" and "new tone"

Nothing has changed here. So you might ask - how will we know when things have changed? For me it’s all the kids back in school.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

"In the past, Republicans have just waited us out because they thought we would break. This would be a very dangerous moment for us to do that because of the specific moral question being put to the nation: Does the president of the United States get to murder American citizens?"

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea. It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Among them Target, which paid Trump's inaugural team a million dollar bribe before walking back commitments to Black-owned business partners.

He wasn't going to a protest. There was no planned protest. It was people in a neighborhood witnessing & recording public actions by secret police. Gun-at-protest is a lie & distraction.

I wonder how many people need to get killed in the street by masked agents of the state before conservatives stop pretending that they’re being oppressed by the existence of HR departments bsky.app/profile/shar...

What’s happening in Minneapolis really drives home the absolute fakery of “brave stands against wokism” brand building pundits have been doing for the past decade

www.cnn.com/2026/01/24/u... Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact.

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

A completely insane take. Also, guess what gun ICE issues to it's officers? That's right, the same Sig P320 Pretti was carrying.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues. Cheerful. Funny. Gentle. And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

it shouldn’t matter at all what the background of someone murdered by fascists is “he was no angel” is horrible, bigoted bullshit but it does affect people’s perception and they fucked up really really bad here because they appear to have shot an actual saint

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Do. Not. Privilege. The. Lie.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Imagine a world where an elected Republican official somewhere actually asked for a complete and thorough investigation by unbiased independent investigators after a federal agent killed an American citizen instead of reflexively defending the government.

this is a win. no-avi lefty accounts furious he said "future" instead of "right now" are getting blocked.
