Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

“Some Republicans are now open to demands by Democrats to stop roving ICE patrols, to require search warrants for immigration enforcement officers and to establish a code of conduct governing use of force.”

God forbid, search warrants and a code of conduct.

I'm not a lawyer. Is there really nothing the local police can do when federal agents violate the rights of one of their residents? Can't a federal agent violate state law?
4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

Add Rand Paul to the list of people I have long disagreed with saying sensible and helpful things. Important in the current climate. Bill Kristol is also on the list.
Rand Paul calls for immediately putting the men who killed Alex Pretti on administrative leave and for a full investigation, while subtweeting Stephen Miller et al who immediately labeled the VA ICU nurse an "assassin" and a "domestic terrorist"

The proposal to send ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to a foreign country makes it pretty clear that ICE is not about immigration. I hope Italy does not allow them into their country. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.

Get them out of there.
January 24, 2026 at 6:55 PM
If only the Democratic leaders in the house and senate were woke like Bill Kristol.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

We are still mourning Charlie
All three living Democratic presidents have said nothing about any of this. I don’t mean just today, I mean any of it. Obama’s last two tweets are about basketball and wishing his wife happy birthday. Nothing on Renee Good who was murdered 17 days ago

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Agree.

No one outside the US, who has a choice, should be enabling a lawless and lying regime. Which has become a threat to its own people and the entire world.

(Speaking as an American patriot.)
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

What stayed with Amundson most [was] the realization that came while she was holding the agent’s head in her hands and keeping his airway open.
“I was hit so hard with the fact that this man would not do this for me,” she said.
Her mind went immediately to Renee Good.
There is evil and then there is this
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

It turns out that when Trump warned us about armed gangs terrorizing our cities he was right, but they are his gangs.
They make danger. They make us unable to live free.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.
