They pulled an elderly Hmong man out of his home in the Twin Cities in -18° weather wearing only shorts. That’s sick. This administration is dismantling civil rights, ignoring due process, and turning cruelty into policy. This isn’t law and order. It’s state-sanctioned abuse.

Remember right after ICE murdered Renee Good when they shot a second person, this time in the leg? They put out an elaborate story about the man assaulting ICE agents, ramming them, etc.

Only one problem: it was all a lie, as shown by multiple videos and the transcripts of calls to 911.

ICE lies.

Former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said, “Lang saw that Black man as less than him. The Black man saw Lang as a human being.”

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Trump's long-awaited healthcare "plan" is a joke He can barely bring himself to pretend he cares.

"When it comes time to produce something vaguely resembling a policy blueprint, Trump steps aside & the right-wing ideologues who surround him take over. His only job is to record a brief video, try to stay awake through a White House event on the subject, & then go back to not talking about it."

Military archbishop: Troops could refuse orders on Greenland Speaking to Britain's Sunday program on BBC, Archbishop Timothy Broglio reiterated that conscience could permit refusal of an unjust military order.

The long-serving Catholic archbishop for pastoral care of all US military branches says troops can refuse orders to take Greenland by force as there aren’t circumstances where this would be a “just war”: aleteia.org/2026/01/19/u...

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

Initial polls with interviews after Nicole Good's killing are showing Trump's already terrible job approval dropping:
3 point decline - Morning Consult
5 point decline - RMG/Napolitan Institute
7 point decline - TIPP Insights
It's possible - thankfully - this terrible act has moved public opinion.

This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

Internal DHS training docs are correct: profanity-laden screaming at ICE agents is protected First Amendment speech

A reminder that not so long ago we honored immigrants in the US, even by carving monuments like this one at Immigration Point, over the Golden Gate connecting the Pacific to SF Bay.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 January 9, 2026 The Honorable Marco Rubio Secretary of State U.S. Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520 Dear Secretary Rubio, We write to strongly oppose the unauthorized use of military force in Venezuela and threats from the President and administration officials alluding to U.S. military action inside Mexico without Mexico's consent and without congressional authorization. President Trump has falsely claimed he could legally order military action against Mexico without congressional authorization. In a January 3, 2026, interview with Fox News after the illegal strikes against Venezuela, President Trump asserted that "the cartels are running Mexico... we have to do something." When asked in a December 9, 2025, interview with Politico whether he would consider taking action in Mexico, he replied "Sure. I would." Unilateral military action against Mexico would be disastrous. Mexico is America's number one trading partner and critically important security partner with whom we share longstanding familial and border connections. Under President Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico has dramatically increased its cooperation with the United States. Any unilateral military action would violate Mexico's sovereignty, and tarnish the new era of cooperation that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has ushered in. The impacts of military action on American business interests would be far-reaching. U.S. foreign direct investment into Mexico surpassed $14.5 billion last year. More than one million American jobs are tied to cross-border commerce, and over five million U.S. jobs depend on commerce with Mexico.* Military action would also undermine our decades-long effort to address shared security interests, particularly those posed by transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) that traffic guns, illicit drugs, people, and more across the U.S. border. Over the past 20 years, the United States has launched programs to sup…

February, Mexico extradited 29 individuals sought by the United States for alleged cartel ties— one of the largest extraditions in the country's history. In August, Mexico again transferred 26 inmates suspected of holding senior roles in some of the nation's most powerful drug cartels, marking the second major extradition of the year.® No doubt Mexico still faces political and rule-of-law challenges that threaten its progress. Yet, with renewed efforts of President Sheinbaum's government, Mexico has bolstered intelligence for fighting organized crime; significantly reduced homicide levels; overseen the largest seizure of fentanyl in Mexico's history; and worked with the legislature to ban the production, distribution, and acquisition of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals.? U.S. policy should recognize this renewed progress and that our bilateral cooperation with Mexico is increasing enforcement capacity and getting results. Any unilateral U.S. military action inside Mexico without Mexico's consent would destroy trust, eviscerate cooperation with Mexican authorities, and make it harder to keep drugs out of the communities we represent. At a time when we need to build trust and work with our allies in the face of global competition, we urge the Administration not to undertake unilateral, kinetic action that could violate Mexico's sovereignty, increase the flow of migration as Mexicans seek safety, disrupt business that supports large swaths of the U.S. economy, or undermine the security progress we have made together. We ask you to commit to no unilateral U.S. military action inside Mexico without congressional authorization. Sincerely, They Stanton Greg Stanton Gregory W. Meeks Member of Congress Ranking Member House Committee on Foreign Affairs Hemisphere House Committee on Foreign Affairs

Members of the US congress warn the Trump regime against attacking or invading Mexico:

“Unilateral military action against Mexico would be disastrous.”

This!!👊

If you are a veteran, this kind of visible presence at anti-ICE protests is really valuable.

These clowns all want to play dress-up soldier, so actual soldiers mocking them to their faces is devastating.
