They turned the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division homepage into some right-wing nightmare bingo card. It’s like a Jeopardy! board for 4chan posters and people who get all their news from Tucker Carlson.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Just say the government is lying. The goal of journalism should be to inform, not gaslight.

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.

DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

As an elections attorney, I’ve been following this activity closely since this summer and it’s very bad.

It will require major public outrage and the involvement of Congress and the federal judiciary to resolve things in a manner that preserves the integrity of our elections.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

There are just the loveliest little candlelight vigils for Alex Pretti being held all over Uptown right now. People building little candle memorials on street corners in the snow. This city is in pain but we will win together

My mom called me crying about the shooting and said “you don’t become a nurse unless you wanted to help, he just wanted to help people” and my heart broke all over again.

I am absolutely devastated for the people of Minneapolis. And I am praying for Alex Pretti, a man who appears to have been peacefully caring for his community and then protecting a woman being struck by ICE agents when he was executed in cold blood.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

The trees of Minnesota have concluded their Entmoot and will join the hobbits in resistance. Under Bovino, forces gather in Minneapolis not seen since the Third Age. But Isengard still fell, and he is no Saruman. The march to liberate the Twin Cities begins. Victory is imminent.

All the evidence one would need to impeach both Rubio and Noem was just posted to the AAUP v. Rubio docket. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Lawyers retain an independent ethical duty that persists under the direction of an employer.

There is no professional obligation to participate in political retribution.

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

"If you want to investigate fraud, bring an accountant,” Stancil, a Democratic activist and education policy adviser told me as we drove around ... The ICE agents in Minnesota don’t look like accountants. They look like soldiers. And you don’t bring soldiers unless you want to fight a war."
Richard Warnica: I spent the week in Minnesota. The only thing I’m sure of now is that more people are going to die
As confrontations between ICE and protestors and activists grow more common, the tension only rises.

"The engine puttered; the inside of his 15-year-old hatchback was starting to smell like burning oil.

Within seconds Stancil was on the Expedition’s tail, no more than a few metres off the white bumper. He laid into his horn. 'Meep-Meep-Meep!' It sounded like the Roadrunner. 'Meep-Meep-Meep!'"

Ohio needs leaders who stand up to the powerful instead of tearing down the vulnerable. I’m running for reelection because our families deserve a life they can afford.

I know we’re hearing about this on the news, but watching someone get grabbed off the street from this perspective is so different. It made my stomach turn. It’s almost unbelievable, but no, it’s just a random Sunday afternoon in a city under federal occupation.

I don't think Walz is likely to deploy NG on ICE officers. That's a fair criticism. But from a practical standpoint it has also injected that idea into the public discourse as something acceptable and necessary for Serious Democrats to consider. This is probably useful.
