TODAY: Israeli authorities demolish the UNRWA headquarters in Jerusalem.

I just wanna be clear concerning the Church protest in Minneapolis... and please feel free to disagree are you more concerned with the sanitation of the worship experience Than the dehumanization of the human beings around you?

I understand recoiling in fear, tuning things out, or retreating — I fully get it, on an emotional level. But I can't imagine not fighting. I simply cannot fathom seeing these forces at work in our world, let alone in close proximity to me, and not saying "fuck that" and throwing down.

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...

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

They pulled an elderly Hmong man out of his home in the Twin Cities in -18° weather wearing only shorts. That’s sick. This administration is dismantling civil rights, ignoring due process, and turning cruelty into policy. This isn’t law and order. It’s state-sanctioned abuse.

The other day I bitched that people always forget LaMonica McIver in their list of politicized prosecutions. The New Yorker has a profile here, so hopefully we can change that. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

About the ICE agent who fatally shot a man on New Year’s Eve while off-duty: A court document "says the ICE agent allegedly whipped his sons with a belt, made homophobic slurs and racist remarks about Black and Latino people and brought a gun to a youth sports game."

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

“Musk’s reaction, and the silence from so many of X’s investors and peer companies were all active choices—and symptoms of a broader crisis of impunity… The stakes could not be any higher. If there is no red line around AI-generated sex abuse, then no line exists.”

I did not know ICE agents shot someone in Glen Burnie, Maryland.... did y'all know about this? There's so much we're not hearing about.

Minneapolis unions call for General Strike on Jan 23rd against ICE 5 major unions have joined the call so far & the list is expected to grow. paydayreport.com/5-minneapoli...

They beat up a tenth grader! (Who is a US citizen, but it shouldn’t matter, why the fuck do you beat up a kid.) They stole his phone and tried to resell it!

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

Harper's Letter folks are being kind of shy lately about free speech issues. Maybe they are writing an extra long letter this time.

Credible reports given multiple videos that ICE (or CBP?) in Minneapolis is going door to door, breaching doors when residents will not open, and searching homes with no warrant or even statement of a particularized suspicion, and trying to prevent residents from recording. Flagrantly illegal

"I'm not in Minnesota -- what can I do to help?" A list of ideas!

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...

They won't have the numbers to occupy the nation and force everyone to comply, and that's why they're engaged in such an aggressive show of force. They're hoping we all get cowed into submission and do their work of suppression ourselves. Once again, no. The mantra remains "fuck you, make me."

I know it's hard to shock these days but Elon Musk going full Rhodesia defender and calling for the ethnic cleansing of the US should still shock you. These are neo nazi views that were only previously shared on explicitly neo nazi sites.

Seeing people do "here's the savvy take on how and why the US should acquire Greenland" and just feeling so *embarrassed* for them. Have some dignity. You don't need to be an apologist for the world's dumbest autocrat, you're not somehow sophisticated for seeing The Smart Play on imperial vainglory.

ICE shot a man in Glen Burnie and the story they told was contradicted by: 1. ICE’s own photos 2. Bystander video 3. Lawyer for another immigrant at the scene 4. Anne Arundel County Police Now ICE is revising its story. The latest from Alex Mann: www.thebanner.com/community/cr...

The only synagogue in Jackson, MS burned last night. It was arson. They've been here before--they were attacked by the KKK because the rabbi spoke in favor of civil rights. They have no usable torah for services, all burned. Torahs are handmade! If you can donate a bit this week, here's a spot.

Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*. workdaymagazine.org/minneapolis-...

Palestine Action activist Heba Muraisi, 31, said to be “near death” after 70 days on hunger strike,

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 )

You can’t gaslight us, Kristi. After masked ICE agents killed Renee Nicole Good, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem blamed Good, denying what we ALL saw. Good’s family, Minnesotans, & the country deserve an independent, complete investigation — not lies. Demand Kristi Noem’s resignation: hrc.im/Resign

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.

Ending the Avelo contract with DHS also a big win. And a place where, as with many fights against logistical networks, local action against a national or international problem can be surprisingly effective. New Haven is its biggest airport! And they got the mayor against the airline.

The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.) (Video from @AmirMiresmaeili on Twitter)

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal immigration officers shoot and wound 2 people in Portland, Oregon, authorities say.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

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.

"You deserve to die if you disagree with us" is their position. bsky.app/profile/atru...

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun

“.. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

This is also a field test. If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with. Nothing.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

Protest sign on Route 4 in Paramus, New Jersey reads “ICE murders woman in MN”

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY
