Judge slams Trump over 5-year-old: "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Get the patterns even if you aren’t crafty. (Knitted & crochet versions). All $10 goes to orgs supporting MN immigrant communities during this unlawful action. Cool backstory, too!

We now live in a police state where rights are revoked at a maniac’s whim.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

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.”

“Deescalation” is as real as our president’s delusions. Nothing has changed despite Federal Court TRO on MN aggressive tactics yesterday.
They are lawless goons in the thrall of racist fascists denying constitutional rights to create fear & compliance with their amoral ends.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

“Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.”

Listen to wise Professor Timothy Snyder: Thoughts on MN laws, language and leadership. It is in how we treat the law, use the right language, and respect the real leaders, that we will get out of this and become a better country.

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

Remember, our black & brown brothers & sisters have been experiencing this treatment for generations…by the cruel, white power players.
May the current terror bring a wider audience to the fight for civil rights, equal rights & equal justice under the law!
Past time for a more perfect union!

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

Because the reality of provable, objective facts get in the way of authoritarian racist propaganda & feeding of our shared national treasure.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.
