It's recently come to light that an ICE recruitment event is scheduled to be held on Tuesday 1/13 and Wednesday 1/14 at the Hilton in St Petersburg. We need as many people as possible to call in to the location and tell the Hilton management this event directly aids in community kidnapping!

Stephen Miller as Viceroy of the Venezuelan Territories is a nightmarish thought.
Don't worry, they're considering putting Stephen Miller in charge....

Okay here’s an actual take: the fascist international is at war with the very concept of legitimacy.
Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.

We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Honestly the theme of each city's resistance having its own vibe continues beautifully with Minnesotans politely becoming a god damn brick wall that is disappointed in your life choices.
relentlessly but politely dog ICE so consistently they complain they're tailed everywhere they try to go, necessitating bringing in 300 more agents to even have a prayer of doing something unnoticed. There's an enormous network of notoriously mild people volunteering to interfere in pathologically

DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

One of the most important pieces I've read this year. A lot of journalists tried to capture what it was like on the ground, as Chicagoans resisted an onslaught of federal agents attacking our neighbors, and @melissagiragrant.com pulled it off.
Inside Chicago’s Neighborhood ICE Resistance
Residents have organized a formidable network to protect immigrant communities from Trump’s brutal deportation program. Their efforts are making a genuine difference.

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.

Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?
Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."
