There better be some people ending up in prison over this entire mess. That better be a question posed to 2028 nominees.

U.S. citizen detained by ICE: “…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

This entire article is worth a read

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

ICE's "presence is terrifying medical staff and raising concerns about patient care, according to five nurses at HCMC hospital in Minneapolis who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs." Via reporter @ericazurek.bsky.social www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This is not the language of the government of a free country.

Hi new people. If you like my work that you've read online or whatever, you'll like my book, The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman, published by @utexaspress.bsky.social I worked very hard on it, am immensely proud of it, and supporting it helps ensure I can do more utpress.utexas.edu/9781477331484/

I wish I could even feign surprise at this

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

That first photo is a gut punch. A bunch of heavily armed goons too scared to show their faces bullying a scared kid with the full force of the federal government behind them.

The complaint is difficult reading, but if you need a condensed timeline of events in Minneapolis... I think I missed this incident entirely: www.courtlistener.com/docket/72132...

it shouldn’t be surprising, but it still is, when major news outlets, even as they report about MN suing the government for this ICE invasion refuse to mention: -ICE going into homes without warrants -Randomly stopping people based on skin color -Detaining citizens -Harassing schools and churches

Paul Verhoeven undefeated in creating a movie that flies right over the heads of the people it’s making fun of

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

I will only say this: the restraint the good people of the Minneapolis area are showing right now, at this very moment, is heroic and very very admirable

Earlier today, Elon Musk endorsed full-on Neo-Nazi blood and soil ideology.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

A 6-year-old just lost his mother. A woman was shot in the face in front of her wife. The swift, lockstep attempt to dehumanize and villainize Renee Nicole Good might be the most depraved thing we've seen yet from these ghouls and their supporters. These people are utterly fucking dead inside.

Who remembers the word you got out on in the school spelling bee? I made it do the district spelling bee then got out on “gorgeous” (g-o-r-g-e-u-s)

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. (Hopefully I’m maverick and not goose)

I'm glad that they have done this although obviously convincing people that they should not trust the CDC on health is a stupid uphill battle that we should never have had to fight. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The FIFA Peace Prize doesn't mean what it used to

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

Don't need to imagine, Sinatra had something to say about multicultural liberal democracies 🧵

What the fuck

Incredible what you find when you start looking for data on the "white men can't get jobs anymore" phenomenon www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2025/12/17/w...

Someone should sit the new members of ACIP down and explain what their job is and is not to them in simple terms, and maybe teach them some basic law. Dr. Malone's claims here have several misunderstandings. 1/n

Just amazing work here 👇🏻

Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

Since Trump returned to office, the Education Department’s civil rights office has not resolved a single racial harassment investigation. It sends a message that “people impacted by racial discrimination ... don’t matter,” one attorney said.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

People are rightly disgusted by this speech, but it’s a measure of fascism’s normalization that many see this as more of the awful same rather than what I think most of us who’ve been reporting this beat hear it as: a significant calculated escalation. Full alert stuff.

What the fuck are we doing

Shoes with bad support are my arch nemesis

Trans rights are human rights

I have the audiobook of this and I would highly recommend it 👇🏻

To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.

Appreciate this letter from MN State Sen Jim Abler (R-Anoka) to POTUS

I think the single most chaotic decision I could make as a parent is introducing my kids to The Holiday Special before any other Star Wars.

This post by the world’s richest and most divorced man on the site he bought to promote his far right extremism is ripped straight from the Klan messaging of the 1870s or the 1915 film Birth of a Nation that inspired the Klan’s rebirth as a PR stunt/Ponzi scheme/terrorist organization in the 1920s.
