Adam, thank you for this.
The people of Minnesota are the beacon of hope we need right now

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

This is not a rogue agency. This is an agency doing exactly what it’s been told to do, from the President down.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.

It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.

Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

NEW: Minnesota's top federal judge says ICE has been violating court orders repeatedly — detaining noncitizens or rushing them to Texas despite judges' commands.

He wants ICE's director to answer for it "personally," and could level contempt sanctions.

Donald Trump doesn't really care that Alex Pretti is dead.
He only cares that the optics are bad for him.

I'll be glad to see the puppy killer and the Nazi gnome gone, but it kills me that time and time again Trump gets people to carry out his dirty deeds, they end up paying a price(rightfully so) while Trump escapes accountability every single time.

"The battle in Minneapolis looked anything but fair. One side had thousands of heavily armed and well-paid – if barely trained – masked fighters, and the backing of the entire federal government behind it. The other had whistles, hand-warmers and camera phones."

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

January 27th is Holocaust Remembrance Day, and also my birthday. I was fixated on the Holocaust since I was a kid, and that coincidence felt meaningful to me. I wanted to mark it, to remind myself what kind of person I wanted to be. The survivors, the dead, those who risked everything to help.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

(TW suicide) One person who died in ICE custody this year is someone I haven’t seen mentioned much—Chaofeng Ge. He was found hanging in a shower room at a processing center. It was declared suicide…even though his hands and feet were tied behind his back. ICE is refusing to give the family details

They aren’t backing down. They’re just threatening people in other cities. Still illegal. Still unconstitutional. Even if they haven’t yet backed it up by shooting someone in the face.
