Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

This is fascism, pure and simple.

When DOJ attorneys resign as a matter of principle, it underscores just how corrupt the administration of “justice” has become. Kudos to the Civil Rights Division lawyers who made this wrenching decision for their integrity and dedication to the rule of law. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

@aoc.bsky.social has this exactly right.

Q: When you renegotiate USMCA, how is that going to help autoworkers? TRUMP: I don't even think about USMCA. I want to see Canada and Mexico do well, but the problem is we don't need their product

So, the First Amendment is a thing of the past by the way. 😤🤯😡🤬 #Minnesota #ICE

But in a sense it's actually worse than a war crime, because there is no war. It's just a crime. It's a crime—murder—whether or not the aircraft can be identified as part of a military force.

I mean, sure, if there was a war and they snuck up on some soldiers by adopting the trappings of civil aviation, you might call it a war crime. But since there wasn’t one and they snuck up on some civilians who were probably fishermen and at worst drug dealers, it’s just fuckin murder.

Spit take. 🤡

Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

“The President of the United States is a criminal. He’s not just a convicted criminal. He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th. He is running the government like a mob operation.“

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime. Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

"The Justice Department has fired the No. 2 official in the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Virginia after he declined to lead a controversial prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey..." www.ms.now/news/trump-d...

things off the top of my head that i can think of that conservatives have called tyranny - health care subsidies - seeing pronouns in an email - being suspended from a social media platform - pride month - baking a cake for a same sex wedding - legal rulings against donald trump - EV benchmarks

NEW: Top DOJ officials quit after their division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shooting - At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

Will never not be jarring to see armed goons demanding people’s papers on the street in the United States of America like it’s Nazi Germany. Fuckin nightmare scenes.

1-10-2026 When 300 people show up on a cold windy day to say ICE OUT FOR GOOD🇺🇸🦅 Indivisible Rapid City City Hall Rapid City, South Dakota *Thank You Rapid City Police Department for keeping us safe #IndivisibleRapidCity #SouthDakota #indivisible #reneenicolegood #icemurder

“To settle this, it would be great if the White House would release the case files and any FBI recordings of Tom Homan’s meetings with undercover agents posing as businessmen...” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

JUST IN: Sen. Kelly is suing Secretary Hegseth -- precise details of lawsuit are not yet docketed.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Q: “Did the president ever direct DOJ officials to open an investigation into Powell?” Leavitt: “No.”

"The veteran said he saw volunteering as an ICE observer as another way of serving his country. 'It’s the most American thing to do: not to be scared of people trying to scare you... This is a pivotal moment we’ll be asked about by our kids, "Where were you?" www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

BREAKING: ICE agents pepper-spray peaceful demonstrators and journalists and deploy chemical irritants in Minneapolis. Our partners @statuscoupnews.bsky.social captured the moment live on the ground as it happened.

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates. DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters. Did I get that right?

Seth Abramson is excoriating Elon over on "that platform." ~ 100 posts. Elon doesn't come out well.

I didn't get fooled by the fake Sean Duffy quote, but many did—and I can't blame them for it Why? Because surely you've noticed that members of the Trump administration say shit this stupid every single day? Distinguishing yesterday's incomprehensibly stupid shit from today's fake quote is *work*

Folks this is not a candid shot of the man at 11PM on a weekend, this is what he was doing while sitting in the middle of an internationally broadcast major press conference in the Oval Office He is cooked, get him out of there ASAP—before we find ourselves in the midst of a second Great Depression

They cannot pronounce the words "Mamdani" or "Kamala" and do not know the actual name of the party they oppose, but sure, I bet Mike Johnson has a solid lit-crit handle on what neo-Marxism is as he calls the retirement of an 85-year-old tellingly precipitous

This is without a doubt the worst possible timeline

No no no no no

I would like to run for President of the United States on a one-issue platform: undoing every change Donald Trump has made to the White House and putting it back the way it was

This is a real post from a longtime journalist, presented here without comment other than to say that I know for a fact that there is indeed much worse for people to learn about Trump and Epstein than the already horrifying fact that there are photos of Trump with topless young girls

Please note this: Raising the "salience" of immigration actually worked in Dems' favor in one of the most important swing counties in the country. This is more grist for the idea that attacking Trump is succeeding among the nonwhite working class (see thread below).

UPDATE: Thankfully the man is okay, though there is still some strange disagreement about who he actually is ( see the article below)

I don't know who this guy is, but I certainly hope he is okay. That was hard to watch. I also want to agree with those who noted how bizarre it is that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., seeing a tragedy unfold before him, hauled ass out of the room like George Costanza during a fire. What a nauseating man.

Of course they did, and as someone who's been in front of many juries as an attorney I'll tell you why: jurors hate government overreach more than anything, and this case was such a blindingly obvious instance of serious government overreach that everyone associated with it should probably be fired.

It is possible that I have never seen a picture that better sums up a presidency.

I would definitely have no problem with it if someone won a major prize for that photograph
