“Uptick In Abductions”: ICE Ramps Up Targeting of Minneapolis Legal Observers In one 30-minute stretch, three Minneapolis legal observers were arrested as ICE ramped up its targeting of community volunteers.

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

ICE agent: “I fired 5 shots. She had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys.” 😳

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

Name them
shame them

STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA JANUARY 24, 2026 I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release. At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.

Statement from Standing Rock:

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

#AlexPretti was murdered by the federal government and #ICE was the murder weapon.This fascist regime’s only growing more violent in proportion with how slippery its grasp on power becomes.They will fall. Democracy will prevail. There will be justice for #Renee and #Alex and every victim of #ICE.

What I love about this game is that, because y’all gave each of us such a real sense of ownership over who V is during our playthroughs, whatever ending or fate for V is most hopeful depends on one’s personal idea of that is.

Personally, I’d rather die in the Badlands with Judy and the gang ❤️

Pah! What do THEY know!

this is a great thread about CDC protest, check it out. I appreciate the info. Also this photo, I must admit, made me a bit teary. There are so many people who took government jobs to do good, to help. I know one incredible person at the CDC & she's just ... well, shellshocked would be an upgrade.

A cover of "Ballroom Blitz," but it's by a large ska band, and by the time the singer finishes asking the last member if they're ready, three minutes have already gone by.

I really wanna know what this lil dude's deal is

This is what it's all about

Israel has killed approximately 200 journalists in Gaza in just 22 months, which is more than the combined number of journalists killed during WWII and the entirety of the Vietnam War.

More reporting like this, please:

Anas al-Sharif: Four Al Jazeera journalists killed in Israeli strike near Al-Shifa hospital Al Jazeera had condemned a "campaign of incitement" by the IDF against its reporters, but the military claims one of the journalists was part of Hamas.

Sadly I have seen things like this (nightly, for almost an entire summer). There's still plenty of writing on Hong Kong 2019 and Portland 2020 for lessons, but keep in mind *they're doing the same* to learn how to better harm you

This is a good visualization of when people say that AI saves them time.

While not a continuous narrative like the first series,Madman Adventures is more fun,plays to the strengths of its creators,and altogether feels like a better realized vision.Even more than the first series,which I’m not implying to skip,I recommend Madman Adventures to anyone who loves art and fun.

Working in tandem with Allred’s writing is, obviously, the wonderfully vivid, poppy colors provided by his wife, Laura.Her colors give this world a texture that reminds me of plastic balls in a ball-pit or party balloons. People really aren’t exaggerating when mentioning her contributions to Madman

This shouldn’t be mistaken for a loss of depth or maturity. The contemplative, philosophical moments from The Oddity Odyssey are more plentiful and even richer here. These two aspects work to make this series both a breezier and more thought provoking experience.

An immediate difference between Adventures and the first series is tone. While the first one had this 90s Burton/Lynch feeling to it,mixing the macabre with the silly,this series adopts a lighter feeling that embraces a swashbuckling,Silver Age zannisess which compliments Allred’s comedic strengths

while the third, double-sized issue sees Madman and Dr. Flem trying to help Dr. Boiffard,who has become addicted to experimental injections meant to increase his intelligence and is increasingly mean as a result, lighten up with a camping trip only to get ensconced in an alien encounter(2/2)

Unlike the previous three-issue story, The Oddity Odyssey, this volume does not tell one cohesive story. Instead, the first two-issues deal with Madman’s first meeting with the father of his girlfriend, Joe, and helping Dr. Flem in a time traveling experiment that strands him in the Stone Age (1/2)

I recently read Madman Adventures, @allredmd.bsky.social’s three issue follow-up to the first Madman mini-series.

A thread.
