Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On
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...
Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

‘ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond
ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and send
ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

Great indicator!
Republican leaders, concerned a defeat could bring influx of Democratic investment into Texas races in 2026, tried to rally support for Wambsganss. She received endorsement from Trump & backing of prominent conservative leaders including Gov. Abbott and Lt. Gov. Patrick.

It was probably difficult to foresee that Trump would put the Kennedy Center out of business.

One thing I see liberal outlets giving ground on that I feel the need to correct: it’s impossible to “dox” a paid public official
By simply reporting their name, institutional role, and political affiliations

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by user Cam Higby (@camhigby), dated January 24, 2026.
The post's text reads: "🚨🚨 MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED. I have infiltrated organizational signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding/assaulting/and obstructing them. BUCKLE UP ALL WILL BE REVEALED. Each area of the city has a signal or several signals. Let’s start with a screen recording of all members of the south side group to start."
Below the text is a vertical video thumbnail showing a long list of members in a Signal group chat. The names include aliases and emojis such as "SJ (FLLAK)," "toni," "Pika," "sharkie," "Yoon-Hee," and others. A large translucent watermark with the name "Cam Higby" is layered over the list. The post shows 22.8M views.
Friendly reminder that any signal group chat that has people in it you don't know is potentially infiltrated and anything you say in there could be scraped and shared with anyone, including law enforcement.
Encryption does not stop people from leaking chats. See Atlantic signalgate.

Periodic reminder that ICE still isn’t going after “hardened criminals”
We would all support that.
What do we gain from yanking this father away from his wife and child? What do we gain from deporting people who have been here for 20 years and never been in legal trouble?

Republicans are choosing a government shutdown over funding healthcare or housing, all to defend an agency that is literally killing its own people.
This is state sponsored violence. Impeach Kristi Noem. ICE out of Arizona.

As Republican Senators pitch the idea of having Trump issue executive orders to dial down ICE in exchange for funding DHS, let's all be very clear: AN EXECUTIVE ORDER IS NOT THE LAW. (1/x)

#GVerse Chicago turnout this morning was INSANE.
Thousands hit the streets demanding justice for Alex Pretti and calling out the federal crackdown that killed him.
This isn’t “local unrest” anymore. It’s national.
