My newest #Substack is live! I discuss the role automobiles, multi-hyphenates, and culture play in Jordan Brand's renaissance 🚘

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.

The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.

Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.

This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional.

You swore an oath to defend the Constitution. You are violating that oath, Rep. Alford. Time to go home and let someone else do the job.

Whistleblower Says Radioactive Fracking Waste Site Melted His Jaw. Now There’s an Elementary School There. Then an elementary school was built on top of it.

For decades, Texas let drillers spread staggering amounts of radioactive and PFAS-ridden waste on the fringes of the nation’s fourth largest metro area — while making it virtually impossible for the public to know where.

Absolutely fucking insane story from @saulelbein.bsky.social today

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text.

Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

I am such a sucker for "animal ends up on the court/track/field/pitch"

Oh no. This will be used terribly.

We’re gonna win they’re gonna lose

Mamdani announces a new executive order protecting New Yorkers from "abusive immigration enforcement," including requiring ICE to have a judicial warrant to enter NYC property

Black history month PSA: depicting Black people as apes and monkeys is racism.

There is clarity in second-term Trump increasingly confessing that many items on his to-do list—demanding tribute from universities, especially Harvard; claiming he might “take” Greenland; declaring he won an election that he knows he lost—are nothing more than efforts to boost his wounded ego.

“great replacement” is a white supremacist conspiracy theory that has been cited in NUMEROUS mass shootings including buffalo topps and el paso walmart

furthermore, what we are seeing in MN is a direct result of that hateful racist rhetoric manufacturing consent and democrats should be saying that

2) You always were confident in who you were at a time when most are outwardly not, or are more performatively than needed. You always have felt genuinely YOU, and it is an incredibly admirable thing.

Happy Birthday! Glad to see you out here writing incredible works still.

1) I still remember us watching (I believe) Under the Red Hood or one of the DC animated movies and talking comic books when we were RAs together and how formative and welcoming that was.

Nothing even remotely like the modern system of tightly restricted international borders existed in biblical times.

I love when the members of Congress - both Dems and Republicans - about things like whether ICE should have to use judicial warrants or be banned from deporting citizens like they're new.

These things are already the law! ICE just isn't following the law.

DHS: Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE. If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using DHS.GOV/CBPHOME.

straight up Gestapo shit

The Apatosaurus/Brontosaurus story you probably learned as a dinosaur-obsessed kid is substantively wrong!

It is literally impossible to dox federal workers for the same reason it's not doxxing when McDonalds management asks workers to wear name tags

Every single person in the United States government works for us. We are management and we need to know who our employees are

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

oh they are going to rip each other to shreds as it becomes clear that the country has decisively turned against them

We're not dismantling this immediately?

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

THEY TRIED TO GET A WARRANT TO CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATE THE WOMAN THEY SHOT DEAD

"Perfection Preparation" was an A+ episode of JJK. like John Wick meets Kill Bill in anime.

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.
