I sent my friend an article about how the “US government has lost more than 10,000 STEM PhDs since Trump took office,” and my friend (who is one of those 10,000) replied that: “lost” is a funny way of spelling “were fired or driven out.”

I asked the old punk about the reports of social media companies ramping up on censorship and after a moment the old punk replied: we need to remember the only thing we can rely on, the only thing we can truly rely on, is each other.

My work friend is frustrated with all the people who can’t be bothered to brush the snow off the roofs of their cars, “I guess some people just don’t care” (he says) “about putting themselves and others at risk”, and as I looked at his maskless face I simply replied: “how true.”

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

It is profoundly sad that a white man's concealed carry guns rights is what is getting certain people to finally understand that the US government does not give a shit about laws or rights or lives. This is not a criticism of the victim. This is a criticism of the US's sympathies & priorities.

Everyone still think athletes will avoid DHS (ICE, CBP etc) racial profiling? #WorldCup ⚽️

If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

This killing is not an isolated incident. It is part of a broader pattern in which ICE, with its paramilitary-style operations, has been unleashed to carry out violent and abusive enforcement and detention practices with little oversight or accountability. amnesty.ca/human-rights...

*hisses like a cat* BAD www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

Trump is either leaving office peacefully, or he's going to be forcefully removed. The U.S. Armed Forces have a choice: Either support the American people and the constitution — or a fascist authoritarian regime that is a facsimile of Hitler's Third Reich.

Today he forgot the word for “Alzheimer’s” as he claimed not to have it.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

It’s always funny when palantir employees discover that they work at palantir

Feels like Trump is pretty much unconditionally surrendering as support collapses

Just think about the information bubble that has been created around Trump, if he's only just today looking for ways to turn the narrative out of MN around.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Here's what's wrong with comparing ICE's terror to the Third Reich: the white nationalism at its core is uniquely American. And ending it requires all of us—white folks too— to let go of the lies about American exceptionalism that we’ve been fed. My column: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/26/o...

I’m a bit annoyed that our national flag has been hijacked as a hate symbol.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Once upon a time you were considered lucky to leave this spot and move to America.

They keep showing us who they are. Murdering our citizens for peacefully exercising their rights, ignoring our laws, gaslighting us for demanding justice… They think their brutality will cower us into silence. Into obeisance. They clearly don’t know who we are. They will.

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech. This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

I’ve mostly stayed silent on MN because I feel I don’t have much I can add and feel our turn (Seattle) is coming up. But we are edging closer and closer to the “________ massacre”, the tragic entirely preventable start of so many revolutions and conflicts including the one that founded the US

Feels like given DHS making up stories about what we can plainly see in the murder videos, we have to just presume every other death under their purview is also murder.

We need to start demanding more from Hollywood and sports stars! They need to strike! They can easily strike, they aren’t living paycheck to paycheck They make the most money for the billionaires and them not working hurts them more than me not working I am calling for Hollywood to strike!!

Minnesota's state FBI-like bureau is suing Noem. It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones." MN asserts a sovereign right to investigate crimes within its borders.
