Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

you can’t fucking dox a public official!
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

Until your general strike is more than one day honestly just shut the fuck up lmaoo although it can be a good marker to demonstrate what is possible for some, a single day general strike will never accomplish what we require to survive, which is provide fundamental systemic changes.

The U.S. has successfully convinced its people that “the humanities are frivolous and STEM is Important and Real” is basically a law of nature: this is absolute nonsense that we should stop putting up with.

In case anyone is looking for a following up on ICE’s database of people protesting, organizing online and documenting ICE violence on the ground.

An extraordinary document. Read it.

“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

ICE is violating court orders at a record pace but, sure, some additional training and a few administrative rules will bring them to heel.
A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record:

“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated.

After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.

1/Do you know who Laurie Pritchett is? I bet you don’t. He was the Sheriff in Albany, Georgia, who decided that the best response to non-violent protesters was to arrest them and just put them in jail. No violence, no torture, just arrest. It was the worst defeat of the Civil Rights Movement.
the smartest thing to do right now would be to make a show of disciplining some ICE agents and quietly pull back from minneapolis. the president offers his condolences and maybe even makes a direct donation to the family. you fire bovino and replace him with someone more quietly depraved, etc.

Whoa, Nelly. That was indeed, fast. My son does not even know what Tik Tok is: he is on YouTube Shorts.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

Remember it everyone: it is defund or abolish ICE, ICE leaves Minnesota, and a full and fair investigations of Renee Good and Adam Pretti’s death. Has that happened yet? No?

“Symbolic compliance” sounds so much better than me shouting: No Shiny Objects, everybody!
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This right here is one of my great pet peeves: THERE WERE NOT ONLY ONE GROUP OF FOUNDERS. The Reconstruction Founders led a massive, important constitutional change, and we don’t need to look at English common law to understand what equality, citizenship, and freedom meant. WE WERE OUR OWN NATION.
So the fact that Wurman is digging around in English history is a tell. What about the founders' intent (and ratifying generation's) and historical context leading to the passage of the Reconstruction Amendments? Anyone? THERE WERE NOT ONLY ONE GROUP OF FOUNDERS. Why go all the way back? 🤔
Ilan Wurman's anti-birthright citizenship Supreme Court amicus. I won't mince words. He bastardizes the common law. It is a methodologically bankrupt approach to the history of Anglo-American constitutionalism. It is little more than preening to gain someone's favor, but certainly not a scholar's.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Yes: Trump is weaponizing hunger against millions of Americans, including children, to score cheap political points.
