The anger people have at media institutions and college administrators can’t be detached from this, it’s not just that people can perceive cowardice it’s that they see others with more on the line doing more to stand up for their values than the people who have been trusted to safeguard things

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz sex trafficked minors.
He raped minors.
He paid minors for sex.
And Mike Johnson kept the report sealed.
This was the man they wanted to be Attorney General.
…don’t you realize they’re covering for Trump?
Release the files.

🚨"We wonder why people in the 1930s were quiet, we need to show we weren't quiet. History is gonna look back at all the people that didn't show up—their grandkids are gonna ask what were they doing! It's like -10 degrees and we're here!" -Minneapolis ICE protester. LIVE NOW⬇️

It's never that they are wrong. It's that protestors are paid, or the judge is married to someone with an opposing viewpoint, or the polls are fixed.
For a party that wants everyone to "man up" and "be alphas," they are quite a group of little whiny bitch babies.

Harmeet Dhillon on Don Lemon: "We made a presentation to the magistrate judge. And the judge, who is married to someone who works for AG Ellison, who has had a lot to say about ICE, declined to give us all we were asking for. That's just part of the process... there are other ways to pursue charges"

Takes some real nerve to call a Maine Mom in an SUV a terrorist while wearing a mask, with no badge number on, while dressed like you are hitting doors in Fallujah.

Maybe this is what religion can be? What moral leadership can look like? What Abraham Joshua Heschel and Howard Thurman meant? This is really hard and risky and they are doing it anyway.
Thousands here at Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, the site of deportation flights. Clergy have blocked the road at terminal 1 departures singing “before this campaign fails, we’ll all go down to jail. Everybody has a right to live.”

I honestly wonder how much of this is deeply psychological for Vance, the inability to reconcile that people can love their neighbors so much when his own mother abandoned him.
Vance in MN: "It's really cold outside. We in the Trump administration want to deport criminal aliens who are sex offenders. It takes a certain level of committed to sex offender criminal aliens to stand outside in -40 temperatures and attack the vice president, but they're committed to the bit."

Rep. Greg Steube: "You see Macron and the French sending troops to Greenland. I would love to see the US military up against French troops in Greenland, because it would not last very long. It would be a very small skirmish ... we don't care about what Macron and the French want."

By January 5, 2,000 DHS agents had begun to arrive in Minneapolis — and, within 48 hours, killed 37-year-old Renee Good in her car.

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

the actual Executive Branch is waging regulatory and economic war against any part of the country they don't like for partisan political reasons and our great big money news media barely give the slightest shit and don't treat it as *any* of the big Democrat scandals they'd scream about endlessly
Duffy: "We have 40k deaths a year on roads. We want to make it safer, Newsom is making it more dangerous. We pulled money from him -- almost $200 million-- but if they don't come into compliance, we will eventually pull their ability to issue commercial driver's licenses to anybody in California."

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

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.
