In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

every time my dog pops up in my zoom background, everyone perks up. always show off your fuzzy side kicks 😎

Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike. You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

Have a larger story on this coming, but I’ve been embedded with this group, and this story from yesterday is part of what they’ve been doing in the city: religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time. Time to claim your true history.

Farm workers are hard at work pruning grape vines in Soledad CA. "Julia" says "It's hard work. Sometimes our faces are injured when a vine snaps back. Minimum wage and get a bonus of 10 cents extra per plant." #WeFeedYou

In a first, Europe generated more power from wind and solar than from fossil fuels last year.

A major coalition is launching a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow, aimed at pushing out ICE. It includes: -Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005 -The MN AFL-CIO -SEIU Local 26 -UNITE HERE Local 17 -CWA Local 7250 -Saint Paul and Minneapolis Federations of Educators -Faith leaders And more. 🧵

Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come

And just like that, the US has left the World Health Organization. Link goes to the official announcement—lies pretending to justify a decision that will kill countless numbers—from people too stupid to even include a proper twittercard. www.hhs.gov/press-room/u...

Vought, the publication explains, “began firming up DOGE’s legacy behind the scenes, using the power of his office to embed DOGE personnel in federal agencies as full time staff & institutionalize funding cuts through ILLEGAL use of the Impoundment Control Act.” www.commondreams.org/news/departm...

BREAKING: I just filed a FOIA request for the secret DHS Office of General Counsel memo referenced in the whistleblower report that says ICE can legally enter a residence without a judicial warrant. www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

If you work for ICE, you will be unhirable in California.

And tonight all the main news broadcasts in america will not even mention that their president is unhinged, demented and clearly unfit to lead anything at all. They are so afraid of the truth.

NEW: It appears that the Trump administration expects to lose the Tariff case. According to an anonymous source at CBP who sent me the below email, they’re already having meetings on how to refund the tariffs they’ve collected from importers - many American. 1/

We're coming up on primaries. If you feel like the candidates you have in general elections do not represent you, now is the time to get involved. I don't want to hear anyone who didn't support a primary campaign complaining in November about their options. Seriously go look up who's running now.

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

"This is the diplomatic equivalent of a wronged spouse telling their partner: No, I am not asking for a break or a trial separation. It’s time to move on."

Maybe we should look at how Donald Trump's tariff war is skyrocketing the cost of living for Americans before lecturing them about buying ten homes.

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

At this point I assume that Trump has been given REALLY bad medical news and is lashing out at everyone and everything as an impotent attempt to postpone his own demise

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

and ppl wonder why i say abolish (pol)ice. two sides of a lethal coin

I can’t even with Noem. Also, don’t fund ICE. youtu.be/FMR3kNkOSso?...

The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold. As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

The "worst problem you've never heard of" is the leading cause of Black land loss in this country. Over the years, it's seen Black families stripped of hundreds of billions of dollars in land. It's called "heirs' property." From the ProPublica archives:

So many headlines are not aging well.

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

We’re at the stage of fascism where people are being dragged out of their homes. Children and babies are hit with chemical weapons. Peaceful protesters shot in the face and blinded. A woman shot & killed on camera and it won’t even be investigated. They condone this.

Rachel Maddow: The people, by and large, stand in opposition to Trump — his approval ratings have fallen through the floor & then down into the basement & then through the basement floor into the bedrock — He is just despised as a political leader in this country in almost unprecedented terms

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

One point I’ve been banging on about in interviews the last few weeks is that the mere threat of the use of force by the U.S. President is illegal both under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter but also the U.S. Constitution by virtue of the Take Care Clause.

One of the things I am more persuaded of is that you cannot understand the purpose of DOGE without understanding the purpose of its backers, which is state capture. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/a-year-on-...

It's crazy how propagandized left-leaning voters are doubling down on their position that it is their highly virtuous 😇 PROGRESSIVE mission to disuade people from voting for the "evil, innefective, cowardly & uninformed" Democrats. Baby, just say you want Republicans to win elections. 😮‍💨
