Wow.

Trump-appointed judge rejects DOJ attempt to access Michigan voter rolls Michigan is just one of two dozen states wrestling with the unusual demand from the DOJ.

NEW: A federal judge dismissed the DOJ’s legal effort to access Michigan’s unredacted voter rolls, ruling that federal law does not require states to disclose the data.

The decision comes after an Oregon judge last week concluded the DOJ can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith.

NEW: VoteVets endorses @avindman.bsky.social for Senate! #FLSen 🇺🇸

We asked for stuff off Musk's phone. The government says they only have to check Musk's government issued phone. We say they should have to check his private phone that he bragged about. The Judge agrees. So we won. The government has to see if Musk has a private phone with records we FOIAd on it.

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

Homeland Security is targeting Americans with this secretive legal weapon Under Trump, the Department of Homeland Security has weaponized administrative subpoenas to attack free speech, according to privacy and civil rights groups.

This is absolutely insane: DHS claims the right to subpoena your emails and to send investigators to your house. In this case, because a retiree sent the mildest possible criticism to a prosecutor. No judges involved.

Abolishing ICE is not enough, says Illinois Congressmember Delia Ramirez. "The entire agency of DHS needs to be dismantled."

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

Incredible. The people of Minnesota are inspiring a nation.

A terror organization not a law enforcement organization

Inside the effort to organize clergy nationwide to resist ICE (RNS)— Hundreds of clergy from around the country gathered in Minneapolis to learn from Minnesota faith leaders how to protest against ICE enforcement. Then they took to the streets and helped block t...

NEW: I was one of 3 reporters granted access to the convening of 600+ clergy in Minneapolis this week.

It was a striking show of solidarity with MN clergy resisting ICE, but heralded something else: the emergence of a vast, faith-based network trained to resist ICE. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...

Yep. There are split duties here. Miller broadcasts undisguised bloodlust to the base, openly relishing the sadism and cruelty of ICE's paramilitary warfare against Americans on Fox News. Vance sells it to non-MAGA Republicans and independents by speaking piously about law enforcement under siege.

One thing that might get a little overlooked here is how important it is that DHS is massively exaggerating arrest totals (10k??). What people on the ground know is that immigration enforcement is barely occurring, and ICE/DHS are really conducting a terror campaign in the guise of enforcement.

Everyone wants to blame the content: misinformation, bots, polarisation. That mistakes catalysts and symptoms for the underlying causes. The crisis isn’t bad information, it's that the very information infrastructure we relied on to create a shared understand of the world had changed completely.

"Systems adapted to attention scarcity outcompete those that aren’t, regardless of ownership."

Sitting with this. May help explain to me why the resistance to Trump is so effective when he's in power compared to when he's campaigning. We adapt by necessity.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Moulton: I have an idea for ICE funding: zero. That’s what ICE needs.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.

Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Research on gender is particularly relevant for understanding ICE, which is overwhelmingly male and uses messages of masculinity and domination in its recruitment materials. A lot of men may be joining ICE because they think it will allow them to bond with other men and gain power in our society.

UPDATE: “A US regulator ruled Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI acted illegally by using dozens of methane gas turbines to power huge datacenters in MEMPHIS.”

As the people told @mayorpaulyoung @MemphisChamber — who allowed it to happen.
