A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

1/2: AG Brown and 19 other attorneys general filed an amicus brief in support of Minnesota’s lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s extraordinary campaign of lawlessness under the guise of immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities area.

I think it’s really funny that tech companies can’t get enough people to play with their doom machines and I hope that when it all collapses it hurts them enough that they can’t try again for a long time.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

Miette working her angles.

Is the reason the emails seem to have stopped the outlook outage? Never mind. I don’t want to know.

Something something the jouissance of enforcing hierarchized suffering

Re the photos of dear leader: Men should be allowed to wear whatever makeup they want. In this case, the terrible execution belies a desperate and delusional sense of self and reinforces the fact that no one can tell him the simple truth (that it looks like absolute donkey ass).

Telling my mental health meltdown to wait until Saturday morning because there is a packed agenda

Is it @startribune.com policy to refer to anyone confronting ICE as a protester? This obscures the nature of what people are doing. We're not protesting ICE. We're constitutional observers documenting human rights abuses by agents of the state.

So all colleges and universities will bring back the DEI stuff they cut when obeying in advance right...............................................................................................................................................right?

👀

AND THAT’S WITH NO MESSAGING CAMPAIGN! And even an OPPOSING message from Dem leadership!

Heads up, Seattle: Aki Kurose Middle School in Hillman City and Cleveland STEM High School in Beacon Hill are sheltering in place after ICE activity was reported in the area.

Grace has doubts about this challenge

The baby is growing up.

I accidentally said “pear croissant” instead of “pear danish” when ordering at the bakery and it sucks that now the bakery staff will be laughing together about how stupid I am until the day I die and will pass on the story of my humiliation for generations

THE TIMELINE REFUSES TO BE CLEANSED

I'm seeing loads more AI generated protest videos that are poorly done and covering Minneapolis and Iran among few others. Comment say AI but getting shared by people. Even saw an AI researcher share one. No shared reality, no trust in communication or media. This affects mobilization

The reason I am personally hesitant to invoke ideas like symbolic violence is because it makes it harder to fully grasp the horrible singularity of actual violence. Like all lenses, it both illuminates and obscures, is what I’m saying. That feels important during times like ours.

Still accepting applications until Jan 20 for Wallace-supported ISLS attendance funding!

I’m sorry I keep reposting headlines like this. I do it to help me not feel like I have lost touch with reality. Like, yes, I am not making this up. They are really doing this, despite the fact that no one is doing anything about it.

Hint: they aren’t going to be pushing for more solar…

Making new categories of criminality to justify oppression, violence, and extreme hierarchy — a historical template

NEW: I wrote for @erininthemorning.com about how my Senator @warren.senate.gov threw trans people under the bus by co-sponsoring the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). Our MA-based LGBTQ coalition begged Warren to meet to hear our concerns. She ghosted us 😡 www.erininthemorning.com/p/op-ed-with...

Um another reason why the treasury should not be controlled by the president is that he could use Treasury Direct to punish his enemies too. They called Renee Good a domestic terrorist. You think they won’t take your Treasury Bills?

Chicago’s LGBTQ+ community held a vigil yesterday for Renée Nicole Good. “We wanted to send a message to her wife, Rebecca, that we see you, we hear you, we stand with you, and we’re here with you—united as a community,” said Dawn Valenti, an LGBTQ+ and crime victim advocate who organized the vigil

They're threatening to kill more of us if we call them murderers. Only a murderer levels that kind of threat.

@evangreer.bsky.social Is Fight for the Future tracking Washington State legislature’s HB-2112, an online age verification bill that is supposed to get a hearing on Friday? app.leg.wa.gov/BillSummary/...

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

The way the Trump regime is trying to inexorably bind Renee Good's queerness to their accusations of "domestic terrorism" cannot go ignored.

JFC this is dark. For those who don't know, this is the anthem of choice of a number of far right orgs -- especially beloved by those seeking to "take back" the nation by force, so that it can be a white racial stronghold. Real 14 words stuff from the Groypers running the social media accounts.

Not advice but it helps me to be with other people, even at work. I picked up a great book this week. I’m playing video games in the evening or watching a new comedy series. But also, I keep catching myself standing outside myself, like a ghost, laughing that all this is how life has turned out.

The MAGA regime is currently doubling down on its tactical stance of “we will kill women like dogs for merely displeasing us.”

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

On Wednesday, Renee Macklin Good was fatally shot by a federal ICE agent. Becca Good, her wife, shared the following statement with MPR News.

Crossing my legs prim and tight like a proper man

www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty... The Dean “also clarified that faculty may assign textbooks with chapters that cover transgender identity, so long as they do not talk about the material or include it on assignments or exam questions.” And they call this an education?

How are we supposed to do things like work when the government is terrorizing everyone though

ISLS crew: You can still apply for funding for the Alt-Ac workshop being held at ISLS 2026 in Irvine. mailchi.mp/ca6b5ee72e9c...

I also know folks can make videos lie because some of the same strategies the right is using now were used on Rodney King in a courtroom

Respectfully don’t need the NYT to tell me what to see.

HAPPENING NOW: protest in downtown seattle in response to the killing of renee nicole good by ICE in Minneapolis. follow here or @thestranger.com for live updates.

Excellent, clarifying piece on the (real) legal pathway that Minnesota has to prosecute the ICE agent who shot and killed a woman today. No, federal agents do not have absolute immunity from start charges, no matter what the Trump administration claims.

Wow it sucks to have to live inside a territory controlled by an increasingly unhinged government who knew

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This, right now, is the most hopeful account I follow. 83 seconds more daylight tomorrow than today.
