On September 11th, 2001, we all lost something very close to our hearts. I knew over 30 people who didn’t come home. Several were old friends and neighbors. I didn’t think #NYC could survive it. But we came together. I wrote this #RunningBackToNewYork with #MusicFromGroundZero #44Lights

Early press accounts, presumably informed by DHS, claimed that the teenage girl in the first photo and another teen passenger were arrested after "colliding" with a vehicle driven by federal immigration officials.

The second photo depicts the "collision."

Judge William Young ends his order protecting noncitizen students targeted for deportation for their activism or speech with this quotation.

It’s by Ronald Reagan, who appointed him to the bench four decades ago.

By absolute dumb luck we caught this Aurora Australis a couple nights ago — the largest solar storm since 2003! — from Motupōhue, at the very southernmost tip of Aotearoa NZ’s South Island. I’m not a good photographer but I’m loving the power poles in the foreground of this pic? 🧪

Swalwell: "My Republican colleagues are a joke. History will harshly judge them ... these guys are so lucky they're not under oath, because they would have to tell you what they really think of Trump. They call him crooked, they call him cruel, they call him a scumbag ... you're tiny, small."

Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

Republicans on House Judiciary don’t want answers from Jack Smith. They keep on interrupting him as he responds to their questions.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

The WH responds to Trump's left hand bruises vis Sara Cook of CBS: "Per Karoline Leavitt 'At the Board of Peace event, President Trump hit his hand in the corner of the signing table, causing it to bruise.' A WH official also noted his aspirin usage. He didn’t have one at the start of the BoP event"

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

Very disturbed by reports that some agents were not spit upon.
Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.

“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

Renee Good would have survived the first shot from ICE agent John Ross.

Chest, arm, then the left side (drivers window) of her head killed her.

She was murdered in broad daylight, on camera. And Ross was proud of the killing.

It may take the State years to prosecute him…but they will.

The fugitive known as “Bitcoin Jesus” was indicted for tax evasion and facing prison.

Then he hired a “Friend of Trump.”

“.. CHART OF THE DAY: US benchmark natural gas price (Henry Hub) is up ~75% (yes, that's 75%!!!) over the last five trading days. That's the most for a similar rolling period in data over at least the last >35 years.”
