We got to go through that whole Nobel Prize shit again when Melania doesn’t get nominated for an Oscar.

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.

“Republicans must work with us”

Republicans are killing us.

Same as it ever was.

The insanity of all of this is that literally a handful of fucking elected Republicans could stop all of this. Which tells me they like it.

MS NOW: "I'm just getting something handed to me -- a statement from DHS -- that it will investigate the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old protester by its officers rather than the FBI. So they're gonna be investigating that which they already issued a summary about. It would seem like a closed book."

ICE is violently assaulting peaceful protestors & entering homes without warrants. They shot an innocent mom in the head & used a 5-year-old as bait.

I voted against funding, but that’s not enough. Abolish and dismantle ICE. If you support this shit, you are sick in the head.

Here's where we are at: federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old white man, a US citizen and ICU nurse at the VA who appears in multiple videos to have done absolutely nothing violent or even remotely illegal.

Liam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: “He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

Yo' momma's so stupid she thinks due process is a hair treatment.

Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul has until Wednesday to turn over employment records to the Department of Homeland Security as part of a surprise audit launched Friday, just hours after one of the shop's owners criticized ICE agents during a television interview. bit.ly/4r5AFol

Gee, I should’ve been a market analyst.

A reminder how ICE treats priests.

How big is Greenland?

Its so big it covers up 99% of the Epstein files.

The last paragraph seems like the long form translation, whatever the Norwegian is.

Obligatory.

St. Paul woman, a U.S. citizen, recounts her two days in detention Nasra Ahmed, 23, said she was taken to the hospital for an MRI with hands and legs shackled

Nasra Ahmed, 23, was walking through the parking lot of her aunt’s St. Paul apartment complex when she found herself surrounded by 12 agents. Ahmed, born in the USA, says she showed them her I.D. She was forcefully detained and jailed anyway for more than 2 days. www.twincities.com/2026/01/18/s...

Faux projection, like usual.

Noem's claim is FALSE. Here is ICE's own data on the detention population among those arrested by ICE:

- 43% no criminal record (up from 6% at the start of the year),
- 29% at least one prior conviction*
- 28% at least one pending charge

*most common are traffic and immigration offenses.

It increasingly seems like many of these ICE goons are masking not because they're worried we'll learn who they are out of uniform and more because they're worried what other uniforms they've worn.

Oh

Tots & pears.

I think it’s really important for those of us who do not live in the Twin Cities to read this.

Not "why was the tear gas in the toddler's neighborhood" but "why was the toddler in the tear gas's neighborhood"

DELETED

After lying about this baby they gassed and almost killed in their own neighborhood, DHS deleted their post

true collectors prefer a Nobel Prize in mint condition with the recipient’s name clearly visible but lightly-used in the original packaging is still pretty valuable

We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to p

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.
