ICE is detaining a 5 year old boy. If you get off on this, you’re a monster and don’t you dare pretend to worship God.

We are not a good partner now. Canada can do better.

(I stand with Fanone. I’m not like in the same room with him right now)

I’m with @michaelfanone.bsky.social

Never been more proud of my citizenship of The People’s Republic of the Black Hart of Saint Paul

I wonder if he’s gotten her toll records.

Literally

My @mprnews.org colleagues today produced a ton of great journalism today around the ICE surge in the Twin Cities. Here's a link to our daily liveblog. It's an easy way to get a quick look at much of what happened Thursday. www.mprnews.org/live-updates

Still reading the whole piece but this made me have to put my phone down, considering that the FBI deliberately did NOT wear raid jackets to search MAL as a courtesy to Trump to avoid publicity www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I signed new laws strengthening our Shield Law to protect patients’ privacy, and to ensure hospitals must provide an abortion when it's the necessary standard of care to protect the health or safety of a pregnant person. Washington will defend reproductive freedom.

Carney's speech was the height of the conference and something that should have been said long ago. Thanks, Canada.

He’s actually completely insane and his insanity is being enabled by Miller

I think some people need to experience that, to realize how much larger the movement is than just themselves, to feel motivated to work toward actual change, join groups to make a difference directly. It's nicer than having to build those connections while actively being invaded.

People poo-poo the idea of protests like the No Kings stuff, but one solid benefit is that it lets you as an individual SEE and FEEL just how much the people around you are seeing and feeling what you do. Even if people are less/more motivated than you, the fact that they show up binds you together.

Attorney General Pam Bondi was reportedly "enraged" after a Minnesota federal magistrate judge refused to sign off on charging Don Lemon.

I worked with Mark Carney in his prior role as the chair of the Global Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ). He helped create a multilateral framework for climate action, which we joined. Sadly, big banks like JP Morgan & BlackRock largely blew it up. www.theenergymix.com/rbc-bmo-expe...

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Trump is crushing the Republican Party.

Hate what brought us together but I'm glad we are together 📷: AP

Haven't seen much of this in the news, but whatever the intention of Trump having the US military board shadow fleet ships from Venezuela, now the French are doing it to RUSSIAN shadow fleet ships... GOOD. youtu.be/Pn4OrGuVJFU?...

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

That’s a weird way to say “blew out all the veins on his right hand so now he has to use the left for the injections that we refuse to admit he’s getting”

There’s no way I could vote to give ICE more money. Let’s be clear: ICE is now one of the wealthiest law enforcement agencies in this country, and they continue to prove they are ineffective and unqualified. (1/2)

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

UPDATE: Don Lemon's attorney, Abbe Lowell, says Lemon was "engaging in constitutionally protected activity as a journalist" during anti-immigration-enforcement protest at St. Paul church. Feds have sought, so far unsuccessfully, to charge Lemon criminally www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

I left daily journalism in Chicago in 2018 during a wave of disinvestment that left me pessimistic. But when Homeland Security brought its traveling terror show to Chicago, local news outlets stepped up and did great work. The journalists in the Twin Cities are doing the same.

Local journalism may save us.

NEW: The House just passed the DHS funding bill. Seven Democrats voted yes: Henry Cuellar of Texas Jared Golden of Maine Laura Gillen of New York Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington State Don Davis of North Carolina Tom Souzzi of New York Vincente Gonzalez of Texas

Here’s a clearer video of the interaction between Raiklin and Fanone. Stay til the end when members applaud Fanone and ask that Raiklin be reined in.

It’s 3 PM and we’re seeing a big increase of ICE and border patrol cars throughout the Ward. We need people out with eyes on the streets right now.

They always lie about being rammed with a vehicle. They’re the ones that ram vehicles, and even brake check cars to cause crashes that will justify use of force.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines. This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

Jamie Raskin says he has signatures from all the dems on the panel to recall Jack Smith to testify after the potential release of Volume II of his final report on the classified documents case. The block on the report is set to expire February 24th.

I just voted AGAINST funding for ICE. Not one dollar for cruelty and cover-ups. Congress must leverage the power of the purse to hold Donald Trump accountable.

I parked my retirement funds months ago. Don’t regret it. I was managing a large DB pension plan, 2 DC plans, 2 457s when the crashes of 2000, 2001 kicked off the Great Recession. As a Plan Fiduciary, I felt I should ride it out. I never recovered my lost funds. Lesson learned.

In this video from Maine obtained by @accountabilityji.bsky.social, an ICE agent repeatedly threatens a protester with pepper spray and ends the encounter by saying “Make America Great Again.”

gotta say this was a really informative conversation for me about a very important and very fast developing situation. Thanks @ag.state.mn.us for your time during an incredibly demanding stretch.

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

#TruthWarriors Insurrection Act, ICE, Keith Ellison, cancel suspend midterms

“Prince once bragged that the Minnesota cold keeps the bad people out; the cold also brings the best out of the good.” Me in TNR today: newrepublic.com/article/2054...

So much for America winning. This headline should devastate any presidency.

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

JD Vance comparing things to the Titanic is genuinely one of the most comically honest things that he’s ever said.

Nobody in their right mind should come to the US right now. That assclown bootlicker #FIFA guy needs to move matches out of the US if he wants any damn money out of this (since all these clowns are money-driven). Also, move the Olympics out of the US.

AOC

HOLY SHIT. Democrats now have a TWENTY-TWO POINT advantage on the general ballot. Dems had a 14-point advantage leading up to the 2018 election which netted us 41 seats in the House alone.

Fanone is coughing "bullshit" at republican Mike Nehls as he blames everyone but Trump for the attack on the Capitol, and calls the police that day "unprepared." He then tells Fanone he needs "medication." A reminder that Nehls cowered from Trump's rioters as the police kept him safe.
