I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent. And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

Repost endlessly

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Understand, your ire at me because I said the nation is dying is because you know it's true. Its up to us to save it. We are a morally decaying corpse right now, and the stench we give off to the world is cloying. Many of us did not vote for this, but it represents us just the same.

The mellow surf shops I follow on IG are printing stacks of anti-ICE posters on heavy cardstock and giving them away, this ain’t going back in the bottle.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents? Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

Whenever these fools open their mouths, I hear the 1980s song "Lies, Lies, Lies, Ye-ah!"

Concentration camp victims protest! The incredible bravery and fortitude and care involved in doing this ✊🏽 ‘some of them holding signs that included “Libertad para los niños,” or “Liberty for the kids.”‘

If you’re enforcing the law but hiding your face, you already know what you’re doing won’t survive scrutiny.

How many of the Bill of Rights amendments has ICE violated so far? At least the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 10th. They may go 10 out of 10.

Carney didn’t insult Trump. He told the truth at Davos and Trump unraveled for three straight days. Carney exposed Trump! Dean Blundell lays it out perfectly: the grift only works if people play along. Canada stopped. 🇨🇦 #USDemocracy #Pinks #CDNPoli open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

Credit cards are financial vampires.

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

Trump approval, per The Economist — Georgia: -18.6% Maine: -18.4% Texas: -17.2% Michigan: -15.8% North Carolina: -13.6% Ohio: -9.2% Iowa: -8.7% Florida: -7.5% South Carolina: -7.3% Mississippi: -6.9% Alaska: -6.6% Louisiana: -5.1% Nebraska: -1.8% These states all have Senate elections this year

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

“Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi….But the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go Nazi in a crisis.” — D. Thompson*

This is an Underground Railroad style operation. This is what I mean that we should study UR history, tactics, and strategy.

Publishing the names of protesters and contacting their employers to have them fired for exercising their rights is a tactic straight out of the White Citizens Councils.

Jonathan Ross after he murdered Renee Good

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

We are going to win. Normal people hate the fucking fascists.

The Dems are Chamberlains when Churchills are needed.

I try to maintain some emotional distance while writing, which is an analytical exercise for me. But I wept through much of this, because the videos of Trump’s fascist assault are hard viewing. But they also convinced me we will win. Here’s why. www.salon.com/2026/01/14/r...

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

Second, and probably most importantly, it's tactically wrong. "No point discussing political opposition to fascism, there won't be elections anyway" cedes victory to your enemies. It's defeatism and nihilism.

The new video out just really proves my point. MAGA is arguing that a woman deserved to die because a man dropped his iPhone and got mockingly called “big boy.” ICE and their defenders are the biggest bunch of whiny babies I have ever seen. Except that is an insult to babies, who are far tougher.

The party of "Small government and states rights" Are now defending a government stopping a state's right to investigate the murder conducted on their streets by a government funded group of masked men with guns and using cars to blockade roads to inflict terror and harm on communities. wtf USA

The ICE agent called her a "fucking bitch" after he killed her. One officer screams "Go, get out of here" while this officer says "Get out of the car." You clearly see her turn the wheel AWAY from him after he steps in front of her car. Did they think releasing this would help them?? cw // violence

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already: If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder. It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO. /1

wow really helpful, thank you new york times

Most people on this app are decent human beings, but those trying to defend this or even say this is a good thing need to rethink their humanity.

We've been saying good riddance to 2025 and a week in 2026 is already saying "Hold my beer."

There is currently an enormous protest in the streets of Minneapolis in response to the murder there today by the American Gestapo, ICE. I take some comfort in this.

The Dems really failed on this. GOP was gaslighting J6 only a few months later w/o any pushback by legacy media which Dems should have called out immediately and emphatically. So here we are now.

This machine exists for moments like this. The public has to be told that what they think they saw did not happen. They did that with George Floyd and January 6 and any number of national tragedies. The gaslighting in overwhelming in times like these.

I need to take a social media (and any media) break today because i don't want to hear about the anniversary of thugs who ended up getting rewarded due to 77 million voters having a terrible brain fart.

The response to Jan. 6 was a stated attempted to restore and protect democratic governance. Five years on, I think it's safe to say it—we—failed. Latest newsletter for the five-year anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol: postsfromunderground.ghost.io/jan-6-was-ou...

If you're bargaining from a place of "don't punch me in the face too bad, sir," you're gonna get punched in the face, and they're probably gonna do it harder and harder. If your bargaining position is, "I will expose your pedophile friends and you will face tribunals," the conversation changes.

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

Tell me we should trust AI to give us the facts. Tell me it's a future we can put our faith in. Come at me. I'm right here, waiting.

Mark Lutter’s Charter Cities Institute (CCI) has been eyeing Venezuela since 2019, has received $$$ from Emergent Ventures (backed by Thiel), & calls Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale a “supporter”. Lutter & I just had an interesting exchange. See posts 40-43…1/ threadreaderapp.com/thread/20074...

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.
