NEWS: A federal judge found that ICE had repeatedly retaliated against peaceful protesters in unconstitutional ways — and barred agents involved in Minnesota's "Operation Metro Surge" from using similar tactics and force. w/ @joshgerstein @hassankanu www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

“Judge rules feds in Minneapolis immigration operation can't detain or tear gas peaceful protesters…” apnews.com/article/minn...

With arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis ICE protesters dance as ICE agents retreat back. "Nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!" WATCH ⬇️

It’s genuinely bizarre that people who refuse to show their face or identify themselves are demanding identification from people who are fully visible.

"There comes a point where we have to start questioning whether or not he’s actually aware of what’s happening around him & the harm he’s doing. It’s similar to historical figures like Nero or Caligula. Their madness took over & they started doing wildly destructive things. Trump is in that place."

The ICE guy I was tailing decided to show me he knows where I live. You can’t really see in the video, but as he drove past my place he reached out the window and pointed at my apartment. Real tough guy

Ah, THIS Is Why Tesla “Full Self Driving” Sales End On February 14 “How about: February 14 is the deadline California imposed on Tesla to stop selling FSD since it isn’t FSD.” Ahhhhh… that explains it. The ruling was on December 16, 2025. February 14, 2026, is 60 days after that. Coincidence? /1

the yankees flair is really what takes this "je suis management!!" post over the top. 'count the rings' to 'im just a small market new york fan' in 2 offseasons

Dodger fans are already intimately familiar with court-mandated appearances in 2026.

From: Passan: Full details on Kyle Tucker's Dodgers contract, per ESPN sources: - 4 years, $240 million guaranteed - Opt-outs after Years 2 and 3 - $64M signing bonus - $30M deferred - $57.1M a year in net present value after factoring in deferrals -- a record by $6M+

repeat customers are so important

The Dodgers have won two (2) World Series titles this century.

Tesla’s India letdown spurs discounts on unsold Model Y SUVs Tesla Inc. is struggling to offload about a third of the initial vehicles it imported to India last year, as some prospective buyers who made early bookings have backed out, according to people familiar with the matter. /1

McLAUGHLIN: Racial animus has no place in DHS and of course is not use CNN: *plays clip of ICE agents asking Minneapolis woman where she was born* McLAUGHLIN: I haven't seen this clip before. She might've been assaulting law enforcement prior to this.

The most illustrative reply I’ve ever seen.

NEWS: Canada just checkmated the United States. Breaking with the U.S., Canada has struck a major deal with China: Ottawa will cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for dramatically lower tariffs on Canadian farm products.

The Times reports, citing British intelligence, that Ukrainian troops killed 27 times more Russians than they lost in battles for Kupyiansk. Around 200 Russian soldiers were surrounded before Christmas, with total Russian losses in the thousands. #UkraineWar

President Trump threatened tariffs on countries that oppose his push to acquire Greenland—the same day a bipartisan group of lawmakers traveled to Denmark to reassure a key NATO ally despite the administration’s push to annex the Arctic territory.

Good morning, not only have I ratio'd DHS into the ground (they're sitting at about 12K likes) this is now my third most popular post of all time

Me to @alyellon.bsky.social on Tuesday morning. The reported short-term, high AAV offer the Mets made Tucker pretty much signaled his long term FA market was collapsing. Dodgers then swooped, like they do.

To give you an idea of how bad this is, Biden was never sub-30% with independents, even at his least popular

The classy move would have been to give Machado the FIFA Peace Prize in return.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away. Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

When you type the name of an author into Amazon's search bar, and books by 4 different authors come up before the first book by that author. “We know this is not what you're looking for but we don't give a shit.” Imagine if an assistant in a local independent bookshop did that to you. Off there now.

Captain America in the 1980s was like “good lord, why is the United States toppling sovereign nations in central and South America” and marvel comics kids grew up and decided that leftist political leanings are a new concept in superhero comics

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

Sometimes guys sell Super Bowl rings. Doesn’t make whoever buys it a Super Bowl winner.

My remark would be that Stalin did just this. "The regime maintains power only at the point of a gun. It may kill enough dissenters to survive for months or even years (though I doubt the latter). But it cannot govern effectively atop a pile of corpses." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

We all made it to Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil

Maybe they’ll clear this up on CBS News tonight.

This follows agents gassing a man, trying to evacuated his home, with small children as gas was getting into his home. It also seeped into the car as flash bangs & tear gas were launched at the vehicle. A 6 mo old baby was struggling to breathe, ambulance denied. www.facebook.com/share/v/1MPA...

In a hearing yesterday, Sen. Kaine (D-VA) said some enigmatic things, referring to classified briefings, about whether the Trump admin really cared about whether there were drugs aboard the boats being struck in the Caribbean and Pacific. About 1:25 into the video here: bit.ly/4aZ0YYw

JUST IN: The Virginia Senate has approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights. The Virginia House already did this on Wednesday. It's official: there'll be a referendum later this year on the issue.

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

Julia Ioffe knows of what she speaks. We are becoming Donald Trump's version of Putin's Russia, except Trump is light-years dumber than Putin.

Virginia announced its first pediatric flu death of the season. It won’t be the last. This is a very bad flu season and not enough people are being vaccinated. www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...

Xitter is in the shitter…

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Is administration is full of ignorant liars.

The county's judge said that federal agents have previously provided courtesy calls to local authorities about operations. "When we reach out consistently for information [Homeland Security] do not give us anything back except for a generic response," he said about recent attempts.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
