GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

They've adopted a strategy of claiming they're dialing it down while changing nothing on the ground. Minnesota is still under a violent, lawless reign of ICE terror. Children and families are still being abducted. Do not look away.

Tell your senators to rein in ICE NOW On Wednesday, January 7, Renee Good was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Then, on January 24, Border Patrol killed Alex Pretti. These deaths were a direct...

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.

NEW: Trump is floating a $1.5 trillion war budget.

$1.5 trillion could fund Medicaid, the child tax credit, SNAP, the Department of Education, national highway repair, the NIH, school breakfast & lunch, FEMA, the FAA, the EPA, and federal overdose prevention COMBINED.

War costs us a better world.

Two weeks ago Trump warned Iran that if they harmed protesters the US military was “locked and loaded” and would come to their rescue to save them. Thousands were killed, Trump did nothing. Now this.

Gladys West, mathematician whose work paved the way for GPS, dies at 95 A self-described "little farm girl" in the Jim Crow Era, Gladys West's complex and pioneering work for the U.S. Navy helped to improve billions of lives — and keep us from getting lost.

The main picture shows a person being held down whilst pepper sprayed int be face. The headline reads Children as young as 5 detained. Other headlines include; Somali American citizen arrested held of TW days. Preschoolers detention ICE claimed enhanced power to enter homes.

Today’s Minnesota Star Tribune front page will be hung in museums in future.

Every headline, every inch of it documenting a failed state; a descent into authoritarianism.

Just as everyone predicted with the exception of Donald Trump, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Kevin Hassett. The last 3 knew they’ve been lying, not sure with Orange Caligula because he’s a moron and a liar so in his case it could be either one or both.

The fact that not a single one of Tamora Pierce's series has ever been adapted is baffling, especially given media trends over the last few decades.

A 21-year old anti-ICE protester has been left permanently blinded in California after a Department of Homeland Security agent shot him in the face with a nonlethal round at point-blank range on Friday. trib.al/i7dkhL4

Yes. My theory of the moment is Miller/Vance thought their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity would be widely shared. But ICE raids are driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants quite courageously. Now Miller is trying to disrupt that alliance with state violence.

Today feels like a good day to spotlight the recent appeal made by Kurihara Toshio, one of the preeminent Japanese reporters on the war memory beat, to journalists covering war today.

Its drawn from his research on the failures of Japan's media establishment in the 1930s:

Glad we finally settled that Russian Collusion question …

Dr. Gladys West, Mathematician Whose Work Made GPS Possible, Dies at 95 ALEXANDRIA, VA — Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She passed away

List of Minnesota businesses closing for Jan. 23 anti-ICE strike First announced by faith leaders and unions on Jan. 13, Minnesota businesses have begun announcing plans to join the action.

A whole lot have already announced. It's really impressive that so many owners are doing it. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...

That there’s not a massive, credible, instant, bipartisan impeachment/25th Amendment move over these senseless and destructive Greenland threats is a sign of how broken our politics are — and especially how broken the Republican Party is.

This is important and, also, not not new. There were reports of this in LA, Portland, and Chicago, at least, as well.

Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On — Especially During the Coronavirus Pandemic In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surf...

ProPublica reporters have gone deep on the implements that ICE and other federal agents are using on the streets of Minneapolis. From 2020, on tear gas: "It has been found to cause long-term health consequences and can hurt those who aren’t the intended targets" www.propublica.org/article/tear...

A couple of days ago, Wrecktangle Pizza in Minnesota raised $83k to donate food and other essentials to immigrants and other people trapped in their homes.

Very soon, ICE showed up at their door.

The agents got chased off by employees and locals, though not before dropping some tear gas.

The US government is funding an unethical Hepatitis B study on babies in West Africa that will put thousands of lives at risk—randomizing vax at birth, with no placebo control. But we already have solid evidence that the vaccine is effective.

It's straight-up fascist playbook to create chaos and violence, blame your enemies for it, and claim the chaos and violence will stop only if you have absolute power.
Stand against Trump's criminal regime. Stand with Minneapolis.

Again, check to see if you have a dormant Hilton Honors account and, if so, call them up to cancel it.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each.

If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.
