"In Minnesota, we will continue to follow the letter of the law, which requires us to protect the private data of our voters. "It is deeply disturbing that the US AG would make this unlawful request a part of an apparent ransom to pay for our state’s peace & security.* www.kttc.com/2026/01/25/m...

Is it normal for an executive branch agency to send information just to one party's congressional delegation?

So, if US Marshals just show up and arrest Trump, he got his due process then. Says so right there, as soon as law enforcement shows up, your due process is at an end. What's that? That's not how it works, you say? Well, tell that to the people with the fucking guns.

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.

I've criticized Obama in this vein, too. But the real question is where the hell are GWB & Mitt Romney (& John Kelly, Jim Mattis, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, John Boehner, Bob Gates, Hank Paulson, etc). Obama isn't going to convince the 10 people in Congress who can end this now bsky.app/profile/mcop...

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

Just when you thought it could not get worse: extortion on the table?

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd. 📷️: Jeff Wheeler

Imagine having to defend your fatally shot son from Stephen Miller's slurs that he was a "domestic terrorist" trying to "assassinate" ICE officers. This is what Trump and Trumpism has brought to the United States.

Another ruling just yesterday in Minnesota: A federal judge calls it "particularly craven" that ICE transfered "a nursing refugee mother" out of state. Ta Eh Doh Lah was admitted as a refugee from Myanmar in 2024, has no criminal history and a 5-month-old. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Tell that to the J6 rioters.

Minneapolis Police Chief O’Hara: "Our demand today is for those federal agencies that are operating in our city to do so with the same discipline, humanity, and integrity that effective law enforcement in this country demands…We urge everyone to remain peaceful."

This is so fucking haunting.

This something I want people to understand. If you don’t get their names, they’re just gone. There’s no arrest record and the snatch-and-grabs can last seconds. People simply disappear and we can’t find out who they are or what happened to them.

It isn’t healthy to be this angry all the time. But it also isn’t healthy if this doesn’t make you angry.

India’s holdings of US Treasury bonds have fallen to a 5-year low as the nation pushes to support its currency and diversify its reserves. People “are looking to diversify away from US assets, and I would kind of describe it as quiet-quitting of US bonds" www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

New court documents reveal even more ways DOGE improperly accessed and shared sensitive personal data last year — and how that data appears to have been used to advance dubious fraud claims. n.pr/4qDfABZ

This man is reprehensible. And it still deeply offends me that a parent of young children would be okay with this. I’m telling you that this is rooted in this country’s unhealthy obsession with rugged individualism. It taught too many people to care only about them and theirs. And here we are.

They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops

This has to be criminal. ICE is out of control!

The “don’t take down history” crowd is awfully silent.

Nate not realizing that our "unincorporated territories in the Caribbean" were acquired from Denmark in the first place in exchange for... relinquishing all claims to Greenland. Peak punditry right there. 10/10, don't ever change.

"The UN Charter, adopted by the Senate 89-2 in 1945, giving it also the force of U.S. law, bans the US from issuing the 'threat or use of force against the territorial integrity' of a nonoffending member state...This isn’t international law, MAGA types, it’s US law." www.wsj.com/opinion/gree...

This boy was sent to detention in Texas. School officials say they are working to locate two other children who were detained by ICE.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

This sounds crazy & partisan & extreme, & then when you think about it for 30 seconds more, you realize it’s the baseline moderate position now if you care even minimally about the rule of law, civil liberties, & the Constitution.

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door. It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

Spraying pepper spray directly into the eyes of a detained person who’s already fully subdued

HOLY SH*T! A judge has just ordered the NY Redistricting Commission to redraw GOP-held #NY11 by February 6th! If this goes through (I’m sure there will be appeal), Democrats could flip this Staten Island-based seat!

Chillingly, the whistleblower says that ICE trainers were directed (no paper trail?) to train all of ICE's new recruits that these administrative warrants authorize breaking into peoples' homes, even though DHS's own training materials still make clear that's illegal!

Trump approval, per The Economist — Georgia: -18.6% Maine: -18.4% Texas: -17.2% Michigan: -15.8% North Carolina: -13.6% Ohio: -9.2% Iowa: -8.7% Florida: -7.5% South Carolina: -7.3% Mississippi: -6.9% Alaska: -6.6% Louisiana: -5.1% Nebraska: -1.8% These states all have Senate elections this year

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

10 years of this shit

📌I'm glad Mark Carney and Canada have had enough of our fascist shit. I sure have.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

These troops could be for Minnesota, or they could be for Greenland. The fact that we have to consider the latter shows Europe is now in a security dilemma with the United States. We are in a security dilemma with our most powerful "ally."

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally. Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

A handful of Republicans could shut all of it down. Today. They choose not to.

A 21-year old anti-ICE protester has been left permanently blinded in California after a Department of Homeland Security agent shot him in the face with a nonlethal round at point-blank range on Friday. trib.al/Bmjqdsv

According to the government of the United States it is not appropriate to investigate a man who shoots a woman in the face and calls her a fucking bitch. I am a former advocate for survivors of domestic violence and this makes me want to weep.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

Not just here, but all over the world, people have actual problems to take care of and lives to lead, and they end up spending so much time and energy just dealing with the damage Trump needlessly causes every day. It's exhausting.

Q: Americans for generations have fought and died for democracy. Are you saying the president finds the idea of canceling elections funny? LEAVITT: Where you in the room? Only someone like you would take that so seriously
