I got like 15 solid seconds on local TV news yesterday evening. I should make it to CNN by the end of the year.

It’s another #caturday with the adorable Izzy.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

ICE says it arrested 206 people in the state during a multiday operation last month. Here are a few of their stories:

I have not seen any accusations that Noam Chomsky directly engaged in anything like SA or blackmail, but it is extremely disappointing that someone I revered for over 25 years associated with Epstein at all. WTAF?! The most charitable explanation is some combination of ignorance and bad judgment.

Union Carpenter Derek Ellis of Skowhegan was down the street from his job site in Portland when he saw ICE agents shout at a woman to "get the hell out" of her car. As they tore her out of her car, she screamed "I'm a US citizen! I'm a citizen!" as her small child in a carseat cried hysterically.

And Peter Attia MD telling Epstein the biggest problem with being his friend is he can’t tell anyone about the life he lives. Nice.

A kindergartener is one of a growing number of children in Maine who have been left without a parent as the Trump administration carries out a major immigration enforcement effort, according to local officials.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September. 4 of those individuals died at the hands of Trump's DHS officers. Trump's mass deportation agenda is making our country more dangerous.

"Hi, everyone. I know things are hectic as heck right now, but please be sure to fill out your timesheets every Friday by 5 p.m. Central. I can’t pay you unless I know your hours. Please also try to be accurate."

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Watched Inglorious Basterds for the third or fourth time last night. That film still slaps. Anyway, it occurred to me again that “Nation’s Pride” is barely distinguishable from many jingoistic Hollywood productions.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

Dave Guttenfelder is an amazing photojournalist who‘s most recently primarily focused on conflict photojournalism in Syria and Ukraine. Hes recently turned his talents to Minneapolis.

ICE agent: "We're gonna come back for your whole family, okay?"

How many people does DHS/ICE have to kill before the political officials with institutional credibility, authority, and access to resources takes actual action to counter the neo-Nazi invasion? Walz and Frey can send in SWAT teams, and those soft stormtroopers will leave. The ICE guys are cowards.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest

Some developments I’ve heard from credible sources and news items about ICE/DHS stormtroopers in Maine: at least one county jail has chosen to send its daily bookings list to ICE, at least one perso missed a Lewiston court appearance yesterday because they were in ICE custody, two ppl with 1/x

I don’t understand why nobody ever told me Kool and the Gang have some bangers in their catalog.

Hazelnuts are underrated.

Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.

From someone on the ground in Lewiston, Maine:

“It was a simpler time then, back when all people wanted to talk about was the leader of the country molesting underage girls,” said Denver resident Scott Munoz

🔴 After 100 days of the “ceasefire,” Gaza authorities report 1,300 Israeli ceasefire violations Gaza’s Government Information Office says Israel’s serious violations of the ceasefire on October 10, 2025, through January 20, 2026, have resulted in 1,820 people killed, wounded, or detained...

Look, I’m not the *least* judgmental person, but come on, man: wine spritzers with Sprite on the sidewalk outside an office building?

Top Trump Official Says FBI Won’t Investigate Killing by ICE Agent DOJ targets now include victim Renée Good’s widow, Gov. Walz, and Mayor Frey—but not shooter Jonathan Ross

A pro-ice agitator intentionally hits a protester with his car.

Dear men (you know who you are), nobody wants to see your ear whiskers.

I’m watching an episode of Frontline with a lot of people speaking German, and now I’m convinced that the German language is actually just English spoken backwards and the whole thing is an inside joke.

ICE throws flashbangs and tear gas at SUV with 6 children, requiring all to be hospitalized and causing their newborn infant to stop breathing.

The butterfly effect and it’s just whatever caused a man with a rifle to miss a target by a few inches, and the difference is between a baseline-level nightmare and a world-historical phantasmagoria.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

Trump Threatens to Invoke the Insurrection Act and Says We Don't Need Elections. Trump threatens to use the Insurrection Act. What more do people need to see? This regime will not leave peacefully. It's time for the majority to resist at every level. thelefthook.substack.com/p/trump-thre...

Demonstrators apparently retrieved from the cars belonging to ICE these "challenge coins" that ICE mercenaries receive when they carry out arrests. This one is decorated with a skull wearing a crown. ICE mercenaries serve king death. They are evil incarnate.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

This happened in Santa Ana yesterday. It is just now making national news. ICE shot a protester with a so called "non-lethal" projectile. It took out the young man's eye, and very nearly hit his corotid artery. He underwent a 6 hr. surgery but his eye could not be saved. He was unarmed.

An Israeli soldier was filmed dancing at what activists say was the site of a Palestinian home demolition in Hebron. Since October 2023, Israeli forces have demolished more than 2,000 Palestinian homes across the occupied West Bank.

A Minnesota state representative said two Richfield Target employees detained by U.S. Border Patrol on Jan. 8 were U.S. citizens and were both injured in the incident.

Friends, thank you for stepping up! Over $40,000 worth of dash cams have been ordered so far for ICE observers in the Twin Cities! Early orders are trickling in, but we’re getting them packed and deployed ASAFP - several were installed yesterday, these are ready, and 300+ are on the way!

🇮🇷 The death toll from Iran’s nationwide protest crackdown has risen to at least 538 people, according to the US-based group Human Rights Activists in Iran, which says more than 10,600 people have been detained. The group reports that 490 of those killed were protesters & 48 were members of the...

This has to be the most deranged “one simple trick” clickbait ad I’ve ever seen.

"You think you’re watching a woman drive away with an ICE agent following, then shooting her four times in the face, but what you’re really watching is an ICE agent in fear of his life and acting in self-defense."

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.
