Among the other painful but delicious details in this Fred Biery opinion ordering Liam Ramos be freed is this subtweet of Stephen Miller. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

All I can say is for once: open the file, open your own eyes, and actually read what it says.

when a judge puts this photo, bible passages, and signs off with “a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,” all I can say is YIKES

On Jan. 31, 1970, 17-year-old David Milgaard was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Gail Miller. He spent 23 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, but his mother never gave up and fought for his release. This is his story. 🧵 1/12

some Public Service Journalism: I took that Minnesota judge's pdf list of court orders that ICE violated, found all the cases on CourtListener and linked to the dockets reason.com/2026/01/30/j...

Need a quick update on the terrorizing of Minneapolis by federal agents? Here you go. Nothing gory but loads of facts, so don’t watch if you can’t handle the truth.

The Spring/Summer UTP catalog is out! Page 27 is lookin' goooood. @uoftpress.bsky.social utppublishing.com/pb-assets/bo...

i am happy to fight for freedom with the libertarians but also, we don’t really need to *talk*

So on point that the White House would love to see a Black man in chains. 🤮

"That should be a hand up, not a hand out. So we ended all the hand outs." "... And replaced them with some kind of hand up?" "Oh, hell no. These poor bastards are on their own."

Note: This post said "WE" have to do this. Not, "Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries" have to. You are part of the "we" here.

Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding: www.dni.gov/index.php/ne...

The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

Exactly 👍 ⚖️🎯 (Future employers, please take note, if the only arrest someone has is for blocking a sidewalk in 2025 or 2026, HIRE them. They have courage and grit.)

Remind of his 41 Shots for the police killing of Amadou Diallo. NY Police demanded a boycott. One NY cop union head called Springsteen a dirtbag & “floating faggot” for it. www.commondreams.org/views/2020/0...

If Springsteen writes and records a protest song about you… you are fucked. youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

The accounts may well exist for decades, but I doubt the name “Trump Account” survives much past inauguration day 2029.

On Jan. 28, 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the abortion provision of the Criminal Code was unconstitutional and violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The R v Morgentaler case was a landmark ruling in Canada. This is the story. 🧵 1/12

Black, Muslim woman lawyer assaulted by Durham Regional officers while doing her job in a peaceful manner Will there be any consequences for this violently disrespectful police behaviour? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

I made a thing to post whenever Trump threatens tariffs. I release it into the wild for anyone to employ…

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The side-eye! 😂

He sent the crash test dummy down first to make sure it’s safe.. 😅

They did all of this & they are heroes. But the tide turned (on public opinion & national attention) on the murders of Renee Good & Alex Pretti. This is not to take praise from the people of Minneapolis, but reminder that while all gave some, some gave all. May their memories be a blessing.

Two posts, each from a 🧵 on how badly ICE/CBP underestimated the ability of ordinary Minnesotans to organize to both protest and also protect their neighbours. 👏 bsky.app/profile/kath... bsky.app/profile/adam...

On the one hand, I hate for my American friends and relatives that this is the world that the Trump regime has created for them. On the other hand, I am in awe of the people doing what they can to resist fascism.

Too many good points and terrific phrases to summarize. Just read the 🧵.

From the article.

Unless a weather influencer can influence the weather, I’m not interested.

As a vet of two deployments to the *American* war in Afghanistan, I’m incandescently angry at this. Canada spent blood and treasure fighting alongside the US. Not because we had to, but because we thought it was the right thing to do. We were obviously wrong.

Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

Relations between the US and Canada are so tense that millions of teenage American boys are being broken up with by their imaginary Canadian girlfriends

Do Americans understand just how deeply Canadians hate Trump and the policies of his regime? Boycotts on travel and alcohol occasionally get reported. But Canada & other NATO countries suffered disproportionate losses in Afghanistan and all Trump can do is insult us. Fuck him & fuck Steven Miller.

My great-aunt and father kept us up to date on news from my cousin James when he served in Afghanistan as a bomb expert on the front lines. This article is from when he made it home, describing the loss of two members from his platoon.

To the surprise of no one, Trump is wrong again. “The earliest known print appearance of “affordability” comes from the year 1910 in the Indianapolis Star.” qrpascal.com/index.php/20...
