Todd Lyons, head of ICE, is ordered to appear in federal court. He’s not wearing a mask.

Good morning, Mimi.🥰🤗☕💙🌮🌺❄️
I'm angry as we should be, but good.
It’s so cold even the weather is filing a complaint against ICE. Trump suddenly wants to talk about the economy like it’s a space heater. And "affordability" feels like a myth told around campfires.

Watch this space. The idiots in the regime are including ICE agents in diplomatic protection details abroad, and Italian elected leaders are not having it.

The mayor of Milan calls ICE "a militia that kills."

The Trump administration has also been using the language of the Iraq War, pointing to the need for military surges with agents who look like they are deploying to Fallujah. This is from Oct: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

ICE-holes are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range. Today, they tore off part of a woman’s hand.

Fuck this whole fucking regime, and if you voted for this shit, then fuck you especially hard!

JD Vance, federal agents under your administration are killing Americans on our streets.

This is our Kent State.

Own it. Stop blaming others. End it now.

As episode 5 of Landslide reminds us, George Wallace (the "segregation forever" guy and former Governor of Alabama) had garnered a ton of support in the 1972 Democratic primary and in 1976 he was still considered a formidable force in the Democratic primaries in the South. Indeed, one important story line in the 1976 Democratic primaries was that other candidates chose NOT to run in Florida so that Carter, the white southerner, could take on Wallace head-to-head, defeat him, and thereby push him out of the race and banish Wallace's brand of politics from the Democratic coalition for good. Many Democrats feared that Wallace could win the Florida primary if the anti-Wallace vote was spread across many other challengers, and that a Florida win might put Wallace on a plausible path to the Democratic nomination. Take a second to imagine an alternative timeline in which the Democratic nominee in '76 was George Wallace, who would have then likely been trounced by Gerald Ford.

Anyway, if you don't think that the mid-1970s was a pivotal/transitional moment in US party politics, consider the fact that it seemed very plausible during the 1976 primary season that the Democratic nominee for President could be George freaking Wallace.

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

NEW: In court filing today, attorney argues federal agents threatened to an arrest an attorney near scene of last week's Minnesota church protest

"Based on their belief that she might have taken" a phone from one of the people arrested

Turns out.. agents already had the phone

One has to assume they did this to get Congressional Rs to parrot the lie. If anyone has the interest and bandwidth, it would be useful to scan those who did press hits and see who took the bait, and whether they've subsequently moderated their position. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

The balance of the equities tips sharply in Plaintiffs’ favor. Plaintiffs seek to protect their sovereignty as well as their residents’ health, welfare, and safety. Plaintiffs also seek to retain control over local law enforcement, education, and public safety. At bottom, Plaintiffs seek to protect fundamental principles of American federalism from Defendants’ unprecedented intrusion. The public is in no way benefited from such unlawful or unconstitutional activity and there is substantial public interest in “Americans trusting their own government to follow the rule of law.” ... On the other hand, the federal government faces no harm from an injunction. The federal government has enforced federal law in Minnesota for decades without the support of thousands of federal agents roving the streets and making illegal stops. Defendants may continue to enforce such laws even with Plaintiffs’ requested injunction in place.

A hearing is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) on the state of Minnesota's request to halt the ICE surge in the Twin Cities.

I'm covering the proceedings remotely.

From the state's memo:

A CHILD'S NOTE ABOUT ICE RAIDS TO FRIEND 💔

Sorta seems bad when you put it that way.

This woman speaks for the majority of Americans. 🙌🙏🫶👇

This is absurd to put all of those CBP agents involved in the murder of Alex Pretti back onto the streets already.

They pose a very real, proven danger to the community.

when they say that everyone should have a right to carry a weapon in public they mean only loyal Republicans have a right to carry a weapon in public. if you don't agree them politically and you carry a weapon then that's justification for them to shoot you dead.

because they are lying racists whose concern is not innocence vs guilt, or right vs wrong, but instead violently suppressing people with brown skin

ICE’s reign of terror on our cities & families is becoming even more limitless. It’s shocking that anyone with a law degree would write on paper that an immigration order is sufficient to enter a home.

Allowing agents to enter homes without a warrant is an abuse of power & outright un-American.

In a letter from Atty General Pam Bondi to Minnesota's Governor, Bondi asks for access to state records on food assistance programs and Minnesota's voter rolls.

I'm glad my friend Maxwell is okay.

But violence begets violence. The man who attacked him yelled "we are going to deport you and your kind" before punching Maxwell in the face.

There are consequences for the way Trump is normalizing and excusing violence.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

A state government is having to file an emergency lawsuit to be able to ensure that the federal government is not actively obstructing justice.

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution

Professor Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) shared this.

It just get worse. Instead of administering CPR to a man who might still be alive, DHS officers were leering over the body, counting the bullet holes.

John Mitnick @JohnMitnick I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department. I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty. Impeach and remove Trump—now. George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."
