Judge rips into ICE but backs off demand for agency head to appear in court “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence,” Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz wrote.

How can anyone call these folks “law enforcement” when they so brazenly break the law? www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Sadly, taking an oath to defend the constitution is one thing, understanding it is a whole other thing. “Supreme” court justices apparently aren’t even very clear about it

Had enough yet?

Which countries are taking immigrants fleeing political violence these days?

A few thoughts on the Minneapolis homicide (from the former head of policy at ICE):

1. The perp was shooting towards his colleagues - wildly out of training.
2. If Good posed a threat worth shooting her over, ICE needed to confirm she was in fact disabled post-crash. That they did not is telling.

Iran judiciary chief vows there will be 'decisive' punishment for protesters Iran's judiciary chief has vowed decisive punishment for protesters, signaling a coming crackdown against demonstrations.

trump is threatening to attack Iran if they attack their own protesters? Wow. Wished he’d do that here. apnews.com/article/iran...

Not as if. Is.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

ICE shooting leaves woman dead in Minneapolis, DHS says Minnesota state representatives are set to testify during a Republican-led House Oversight Committee hearing on allegations of fraud and misuse of federal funds in the state.

More brutality from the federal government in Minneapolis today as authorities have shot and killed yet another person.

After the two federal-involved shootings in Chicago, one thing is clear: do NOT trust what DHS says about this incident.

Man. What a moron. People voted for this

Happy Pardons for Insurrectionists Day everyone. Go out there and “fight like hell.” Just, try to read a book or two before you do so.

Quote of the day: "The drive to accumulate and control bodies, territory, and wealth is a hallmark of strongman rule. The leader needs these possessions as much as he needs food and sleep." -"Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present" by Ruth Ben-Ghiat. Logo: Nook by Barnes & Noble.

💯 #Strongmen by @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social makes the case that tyrants have a great deal in common, & Trump fits the pattern. Their drive to dominate requires "spheres of influence", annexation of territory, predatory sexual behaviour & disregard for established norms & the rule of law.

January 3, 2026 Today was the legal deadline for the Department of Justice to submit to Congress a written justification for any documents from the Epstein files that the department had redacted or withheld.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

A nation will attempt to apply justice to foreign dictator while it can’t deliver justice to its own

And keep voting to keep big money out of politics

Trump makes it clear this is about oil. (After the oil companies helped buy him the election)

Tulsi Gabbard in 2019:

"The United States needs to keep our hands off Venezuela... end these destructive and wasteful regime change wars... proven to cause more problems, increase suffering, increase instability for the people in the countries where we wage these wars. In Latin America especially".

Man how I wish someone would swoop in and kidnap our dictator

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed in a social media post that the couple would “soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.”

Unless we get the rapist out of leadership quickly. Which won’t happen without backbone

The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.

He can’t even do that here!
