Four attorneys told ABC News they have been denied access to their clients at the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, where they are being held, which they say would violate 5th & 6th Amendment rights to due process & the right to consult with counsel. abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-a...

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that woke, for lack of a better word, is good. Woke is right, woke works. Woke clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply. Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

Countries refrain from launching international oil grabs because of four sets of obstacles. These costs provide insights into why the Trump administration intervened in Venezuela and how the attack was conducted, writes @emeierding.bsky.social.

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.

not a lot that can make me audibly gasp on the internet at this point but wow

This video shows ICE holding children hostage to bait parents out of their homes. Just unspeakable levels of cruelty and inhumanity.

this, driving a person to suicide because they had the temerity to want to work in public service, is what russ vought hoped to accomplish

jesus christ, man, trump’s face is drooping and he’s barely conscious, RFK, jr’s hands are so shaky he can barely read his own remarks, whole cabinet’s falling apart

Breaking: NYT now says *six* federal prosecutors in Minnesota have just resigned over the Justice Department's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and the department's reluctance to investigate the ICE agent who shot Good, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

Minneapolis pastor says that he detained by ICE and then released, by an agent who said: "You're white, you won't be any fun anyway."

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

Think about it another way, this operation required virtually everything in America’s advanced warfare toolkit, deployed over five months, to execute a 3 hour raid against a country whose military is held together with duct tape and revolutionary rhetoric

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

Witness account of ICE shooting in Minneapolis today

29 years ago today, Homer Simpson had an epic chili pepper-induced hallucination. “El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer” first aired January 5, 1997. Most of the sequence was animated completely by David Silverman as he wanted it to look exactly as he had imagined it.

Losing the vocabulary to capture the grotesquerie we're witnessing.

Q: Rodriguez called it a 'kidnapping' of Maduro TRUMP: That's alright. That's not a bad term.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

Trump: "I think Cuba is gonna be something we'll end up talking about, because Cuba is a failing nation. It's very similar"

This is the most extreme, irresponsible, and un-Constitutional sentence Trump has yet uttered in office. "We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition." WE'RE GOING TO RUN THE COUNTRY.

Trump: "We're going to stay [in Venezuela] until such time as the proper transition can take place…We're going to run it, essentially, until such time."

[wakes up] “I’m sorry, what”

Here's a growing list of emergency protests demanding no war with Venezuela.

Oh so you CAN charge presidents with crimes
