Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

Judge in Minnesota Says ICE Has Violated Nearly 100 Court Orders

ICE has violated judicial orders 96 times in Minnesota alone: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

Sacrificing the health of your children to own the libs and because nobody is the boss of you

“Professors are fighting an asymmetric battle against the tide of anti-intellectualism, illiberalism and bad-faith complaints, and will be for the foreseeable future.”

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

TikTok users say they're being censored after new owners were announced. The company says it's a tech issue. Zero-view TikTok posts sparked censorship fears, but a data center outage offers a far simpler explanation.

I think TikTok is telling the truth about the content "censorship" creators saw this week reason.com/2026/01/28/t...

Sidebar: The changes at WaPo have made the NYT/WP opinion clout level even more lopsided. NYT Opinion can get a discourse cookin' every few days. WP doesn't; biggest impact I've seen recently was Brandon Johnson being asked to respond to their Chicago op-eds.

Next 'No Kings' march on the horizon with flagship event in the Twin Cities The liberal grassroots group Indivisible simultaneously announced nationwide "Eye on ICE" trainings in the wake of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.

Next "No Kings" march is set for March 28, with a flagship event in Minneapolis

On one hand, I get this point that I've seen made several times

OTOH, the issue w/ these long-term charts is that it implies that all other conditions in the US and world economy are constant. But they are not. 10-year Treasury yield was 1.5% in 2012, its 4.2% today, for example.

Ed Whelan @EdWhelanEPPC •1h Do you know what a non sequitur is? I can't conceive how your question has any bearing on the official ethics advice that I quoted. To answer your question: I have spent the last two decades promoting originalism and textualism, working to transform the courts, and promoting conservative legal causes. • 20 {71 90 ıll 5.4K 凸 Harmeet K.

Surely THIS Bari Weiss/Niall Ferguson Venture Will Work! Will they do to CBS News what they did to the University of Austin?

I'm sure this Bari Weiss/Niall Ferguson joint will work out just fine. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/surely-thi...

I just appreciate the appropriation of Heinlein for the very opposite of what he would have wanted.

the true danger of AI is all these systems are being used by dummies who were raised on police procedural TV shows

I'm sure the heterodox civility cops will be all over this one

These are the kinds of clips that shocked me many years ago. Now its just another day. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.

Two democratic members of congress being assaulted reminds me of the time Sarah Huckabee Sanders was politely asked to leave a restaurant

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

European leader spoke of shock at Trump’s state of mind after Mar-a-Lago meeting The Slovak PM, a Trump ally, told leaders at last week’s EU summit he was concerned about the way the U.S. president spoke to him, European diplomats said.

On the one hand it's telling that Fico of all people said this. On the other hand I wish there was some actual detail and/or examples of their conversation to explain why he said this. www.politico.eu/article/dona...

the other thing is that if you give people bad news but give them no way to practically respond to it they just tune out

And @juliaazari.bsky.social!

Wow. This might be the nicest thing any political scientist has ever said about me!

would you rather hang with a fun, colorful group or walk alone out onto the frozen tundra where you’ll meet a certain death

Amazing how long ago Venezuela invasion and Greenland threats seem. Cycles of manmade chaos.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.
