Did you see this today?

Anti #ICE protesters carried a MASSIVE U.S.
Constitution through the streets of Minneapolis.
Not a flag.
Not a slogan.
The Constitution.
Thousands marched, demanding accountability and asking whether federal enforcement is aligning with the rights written on those pages.

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

With Ring’s recent partnership with Flock, which will further facilitate the sharing of video footage with police, and its new Search Party feature, the message is clear: Ring always will be in the business of leveraging its network of luxury surveillance consumers as a law enforcement tool.

humongous TW for the video.

Flag-bearer Erin Jackson leads the U.S. contingent in the athletes parade during the Opening Ceremony. Piroschka Van De Wouw/Reuters MILAN—In a gleefully kitschy Opening Ceremony that featured ancient Romans, dancing espresso pots and a number by Mariah Carey, Italy threw open its arms to welcome the entire world to the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

HOLD UP. This headline from the @wsj.com is dead wrong - No one at the actual opening ceremonies thinks the US team was being booed. Come on! The CBC broadcasters & people in the stadium are all crystal clear that JD VANCE WAS BEING BOOED, not the team.

Homeland Security shutdown grows more likely as Republicans rebuff Democrats' ICE demands Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Democrats' demands for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic.”

Here's what Dems should do:
1) Double down on the demands.
2) Make clear there will be no additional funding.

If the GOP wants to shut down DHS, that's on them.

Don't surrender to pushback from these goons. Take inspiration from the people of Minneapolis.

Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto

Another Child From Liam Ramos’ School District Released From ICE Detention

Some good news: A little girl from the same Minneapolis-area school district as Liam Conejo Ramos was released from a Texas ICE detention facility late Tuesday.

Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano, a 4th grader, had been locked up there with her mom since Jan. 6. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

this unprecedented momentum behind a single issue sure might be a useful fulcrum to try and wrench this country back from over the brink

the government is gassing our children.

5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father released from Texas detention facility following judge's order Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, who were detained by immigration officers in Minnesota and held at an ICE facility in Texas, have been released following a judge’s order.

Katherine Schneider, a spokesperson for Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro, confirmed the two had arrived home. She said Castro picked them up from Dilley on Saturday night and escorted them home on Sunday to Minnesota.

“Children were in the crowd screaming.”

Things I learned from living with 22 yo from Turkey: Anatolian curses are passed mother to daughter and even transition won’t save you, and in Turkey the stereotype of an annoying liberal has pink hair and not blue

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

UPDATED MINNESOTA ICE GUIDANCE: “All targets must be have a criminal Nexus”

So… that wasn’t the case up until now? Is this not an admission of guilt? 🤷🏼

Abducted 5-Year-Old in Texas ICE Jail Now Sick Amid “Abysmal” Conditions Liam Conejo Ramos “has stomach pain, he’s vomiting, he has a fever, and he no longer wants to eat,” his mother said.

Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old boy abducted by immigration agents in Minneapolis last week, is now in poor health after being sent to languish in a Texas facility with “absolutely abysmal” conditions, according to his family.

I wrote about my time in Minneapolis last week, about what is involved in creating bottom-up, decentralized networks of care.

Okay I think I've mapped out ICE politics as of Monday night

Weekly protest schedule for Orange County CA. Current as of Jan 25 2026. See you out there✌️🇺🇸

signs left at alex pretti’s memorial in minneapolis: “i love you so much / i’ll miss you forever” photo with a friend, “i would have done the same. RIP alex,” a stethoscope and “we’ll take it from here, alex” and a tshirt for the minnesota nurses association

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Today at 4pm! Join us to demand an end to ICE terror in our cities and communities!

Concord CA protest organized by @indivisresistcoco.bsky.social

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Driving away from Minneapolis today, with a heart both heavy and full. And I'm thinking about how the fascists claim to be fighting in the name of Christianity... They're making this big deal of a protest at a church. They're making these targeted arrests, claiming that anti-ICE is antireligious.
