Ok, and… shame on everyone in that room who didn’t stand up for her. They all could have literally kept asking. They all still can.

this is exactly right. "popularism" in practice amounts to an abdication of political leadership!

Irish Potato Famine + silver mining opportunities around Butte, MT

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Broadway at Pine is closed for large ICE protest at Seattle Central.

IT’S ALREADY ILLEGAL (8 U.S. Code § 1503)— you can’t parody this loser ass party my goodness

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

I didn’t know him, but I knew and loved his writing. He was hilarious and incisive. He was also my age. Ugh, take someone else 💔 Blessings to his family.

Go Dawgs

The thing is… moms know this. We’re also busy doing literally everything else on your behalf and wish you would just take care of it but if not…mount up.

LFG

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Lol

Go Hawks

Mad respect to the usher at Catholic Mass this morning wearing a neon green @seahawksofficial.com jersey. Go Hawks!

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

It’s pretty wild to love America as a sort of amorphous almost religious concept but simultaneously hate the people of America so deeply

I haven’t seen this on here yet and it’s really powerful. A white 55-yo woman emphasizing that she lives in Edina (which is apparently a more well-off neighborhood/suburb) and came out “immediately” and is speaking eloquent truth to power using her privilege. The bravery in MN is staggering.

"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."

Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

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.

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?

Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us

Soul crushing. This sweet baby.

One court decision, two different headlines. Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

BREAKING: The Greg Bovino Bitch Fund Benefiting Immigrant Rights in Minnesota has just donated $10,000 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, an essential org working on the frontlines to protect people from ICE's terror.

Everyone on Bluesky is poised like we're waiting for the DVD logo to hit the corner of the screen

Meanwhile, 20 minutes into the journey aboard Air Force One:

there are plenty of reasons Air Force One would suddenly turn around. for example, they may have forgotten Kevin

I just don’t know what the fuck y’all are expecting from children who have to repurpose their plans for active shooters to deal with their own government sending ALSO ACTIVE SHOOTERS to try to steal their friends and teachers.

They are just full on lying with impunity. Begging for an opposition party and an effective fourth estate.

This is the school in my Seattle neighborhood currently under lockdown because ICE is threatening to kidnap students.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

Multiple citizen reports today of ICE deployed near Climate Pledge Arena, staying at the Stay Pineapple hotel at 5th and Bell. If you're planning on going to the Torrent game tonight and you've got a higher risk profile (i.e., if you're brown), be extremely vigilant.
