RESIST! We have to stop the coup.
I called my US Rep and US Senators, encouraging them to look at this picture, of masked ICE goons crushing a protester into the pavement, and SPRAYING THE PROTESTER IN THE FACE WITH PEPPER SPRAY at point blank range.

Somehow this story does *not* turn out to be "they were all being kidnapped by ICE".
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Damn, watch this too. Oof; yeah.
pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

I called my US Rep and US Senators, encouraging them to defund ICE, abolish ICE, and impeach Noem.

Our pathetic wannabe dictator has sent gangs of lawless masked murdering thugs into Minnesota, and is now using them to claim that there's an "insurrection", and preparing to escalate to actual war against a state.
This has been the plan all along.
- Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN
- Implement the Insurrection Act
- Declare Martial Law
- Suspend elections

Interesting thread.
I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch.

It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

Some of Scott Adams's early work on Dilbert was brilliant; I'm sad that he turned out to be a racist shitheel later in life, and that he didn't manage to redeem himself before he died.

I haven't been doing a great job of calling every day, but I did just now call my US Rep and US Senators, asking them to defund ICE, abolish ICE, impeach Noem, and demand that the Gestapo agents who are murdering people on the streets of Minneapolis be brought to justice for their crimes.

ICE, get the fuck out of our country.

You are all going to die in prison, and your pathetic wannabe dictator of a boss is not going to protect you.

Get out now while you still can.
ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

Our pathetic wannabe dictator says there'll be an investigation, and they'll get to the bottom of what happened; but there won't be, because members of the fascist Republican party in Congress won't allow it.
BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability.

But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down.

They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

Content warning: Blatant and obvious lies from the leader of the fascist Republican party.

Here's the post from our pathetic wannabe dictator.
Trump claims woman in Minneapolis shooting "viciously ran over the officer" and it's "hard to believe he is alive", calls it self defense
January 8, 2026 at 4:20 AM
Content warning: The Gestapo murdering innocent Americans.

Our pathetic wannabe dictator claims to have watched this video. He has praised the Gestapo agent who murdered the driver.

I hope they all die in prison.
NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

I called my US Rep and US Senators, asking them to call for the impeachment and/or resignation of Rubio, Hegseth, and our pathetic wannabe dictator; and to work with any Republicans they can find who still have any principles, to pass legislation reasserting Congress's war powers.

In case you missed it, Marjorie Taylor Greene -- a horrible person to be sure, but still -- resigned from Congress after Donald J Trump, the President of the United States, threatened to murder her son. (statuskuo.substack.com/p/mtg-v-djt)

This is 100% normal for the Republican Party these days.

I had never heard of "Christmas Adam" before, but now I love it, and also the ribs thing is brilliant.
Was it the person who also said their family's traditional Christmas Adam meal is... ribs? Because that is GOLD and honestly going to campaign for my fam to do that next year.

My Facebook memories brought me this SNL sketch from 2019, all about the adorable outfits you're supposed to cram your children into for the cute family holiday portrait. Once again it made me laugh till I cried.

Since the Gestapo will presumably soon be demanding to see people's social media posts as a loyalty test, I would like to make it clear that I am extremely loyal to the US, which is why I hope our pathetic wannabe dictator -- that is, Donald J Trump, the 45th and 47 POTUS -- dies in prison.

We just HAD TO murder everyone on board those boats. There was no other choice! No other CONCEIVABLE WAY to stop them! Sure, the Coast Guard USED TO interdict suspected drug boats, but that's TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE in this day and age.

Oh wait. www.cbsnews.com/news/coast-g...

Those folks from Minnesota sure are friendly! Solid advice for unwary ICE agents.
Hey, I want to offer some helpful tips for coping with the cold for ICE folks who might have come from warmer places.

1. Wear cotton socks! Cotton is nice and soft next to your skin and will absorb your sweat so your feet stay warm. Cotton everything but ESPECIALLY socks!
Good morning to fuckers in our neighborhood kidnapping our neighbors! Can you see the city skyline? No? You’re wondering if Minneapolis burned down again overnight? Oh no, sweetie. That’s ice crystals in the air . It looks like it will get to around -8F without windchill! Please enjoy your stay!

Democrats gave the fascist Republicans everything they wanted, in exchange for ... a promise for a vote -- a promise that the fascist Republicans won't keep, for a vote that the Democrats will lose.
