“Personally, ICE’s operations seem like a fever dream of the worst parts of the war on terror coming back home to roost.”

WTF — this is an abomination. Armed, masked agents of the state breaking down doors without a judicial warrant. They shot all over the Constitution. This must stop.

“These agents, and the president who sent them, are no one’s heroes, no one’s saviors—just men with guns who have to hide their faces to shoot a mom in the face, and a nurse in the back.”

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody. She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care. We need to reform immigration detention.

I fear that people don’t understand the impact this will have on the effectiveness of our government and the health of our society. It will take DECADES to repair this damage.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

I knew MN DOC had debunking Greg Bovino's false claims abt the target of the snatch CBP was doing when they murdered Alex Pretti. I didn't realize they created an entire website to debunking DHS lies. mn.gov/doc/about/ne...

Genuine American Hero. Damn.

The Trump admin’s DOJ just cut and delayed funding and training critical to combating child sex trafficking and exploitation. Changes include canceling the 2025 national training conference for investigators of online child SA, delaying grants for Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task forces

“…those in media who choose to treat propaganda as the story, to begin from lies rather than from events, are also complicit. The border is the crack, the lie is the wedge, and the wedge is made up of people — of us.”

The yin and yang but just the same

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

I recommend Minnesota Public Radio live. I’m learning a lot I’m not getting elsewhere.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

This is horrifying, sickening, criminal, callous, fascist. Defund ICE is not enough. Disband and prosecute.

ICE has assassinated another human being. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Thou shalt not call yourself a ‘Christian’ if you worship Donald Trump, a man who protects and pardons child molesters while also arresting children. You are the opposite of Christ.

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

People are missing a big thing about the saga of the detained 5-year-old. When Vance calls the father an "illegal alien" it seems to reflect a little-known Trump admin move that attempts to nullify asylum claims before they are even heard. This policy is a horror: newrepublic.com/article/2056...

Board of Peace - Season 1

Update: ICE goons nabbed a 2-year old, refused to let her go to her mother, and then flew her from MN to Texas despite a federal court order against moving her. They tossed her into an SUV with no child seat and sped off. And then they lied about it, of course.

This is exactly the problem. While Obamacare fixed important things (e.g., “preexisting conditions), it pushed a huge amount of money into a private system. Investors came in droves and are sucking the system dry. It was a short-term solution that is now biting us in the ass.

💯 Every. Fucking. Word.

Organizers say ICE/DHS was active here this morning, but this group of clergy didn’t directly encounter agents during their patrol — although at least one vehicle with agents rolled by slowly. As they patrolled, one local shopkeeper came out and offered two pastors tea, thanking them.

🇨🇦🇺🇸 The Republican Party could end the madness today… They are the enablers…

If this doesn’t make you mad as hell, you have no heart. Fuck Trump and everyone who supports his cruel and racist immigration policies.

He’s the manchurian president. “A superpower is [dying by] suicide because the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-19...

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Remember this.

Go Hoosiers!

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

True liberals have spent centuries fighting and dying on the barricades so their brothers and sisters can have a world where they are free to live as they please in a society governed by reason and law, not arbitrary force

This is what I’m talking about @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov

How it started/how it's going

This is an excellent point. Please follow Dan’s full thread. These are not “protests” they are acts of community self defense against an administration attempting to coalesce a fascist regime.

It’s been 29 days since 100% of the Epstein files were supposed to be fully released. Thus far less than 1% of heavily redacted and unexplained files have been released.

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress. He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

CBS's own reporters were highly skeptical of the supposed "leak" about Jonathan Ross suffering "internal bleeding of the torso" with absolutely zero details. Their new MAGA boss, Bari Weiss, ordered the story published despite concerns from reporters and doctors alike. In other words, it's a lie.
