Let's be clear about what's happening here: this is an escalation in unconstitutional federal repression of Minnesotans for exercising their rights.

Cowardly federal agents are hiding from the cameras for a reason: what they're doing is utterly shameful.
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.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

4 things that are true at the same time

1. Minnesota = approx 100-1130k undocumented ppl

2. Texas = approx 2 MILLION undocumented ppl

3. ICE not sent to terrorize Red State with over 10x more undocumented ppl

3. Racists = groomed to be angry, gullible & dumb

This administration is stark raving mad, and it is controlled by men - Vance, Miller, Bovino - are all-but-publicly taking orders from neo-Nazis bent on violent removal of nonwhite Americans. The admin barely hides many of these links. And it is driving a campaign of ethnic violence in our country.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

An extraordinary document. Read it.

“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

A Saco father was detained by ICE while bringing items to his wife and newborn baby girl at the hospital. His pastor at his church—where he serves as a church greeter—called him a “model citizen… not the worst of the worst, but the best of the best.”

RAJU: Trump called you a loser, I believe.

SENATOR TILLIS (R-NC): I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be Secretary of Homeland Security AND Senior Advisor to the President.

DHS is completely out of control and lawless agents are brutalizing communities across the country.

The cruelty and chaos coming out of this Administration are nothing short of dangerous and deadly.

Kristi Noem must resign or be fired.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social I AM BEGGING YOU: Please lead a vote of no-confidence in Schumer as Minority Leader. It's a closed door, secret ballot conference vote. We cannot let this man, who is not made for this moment, be our downfall. He's not a bad man, he's just not up to History's moment.
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms

1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.

2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.

3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Best as I understand, Pam Bondi did not intervene in the case of a Jan6er, Christopher Moynihan, who threatened Hakeem Jeffries.

She has not intervened in case of Christian Joel Young, who assaulted Maxwell Frost.

But is intervening in the case Trump weighed in on, the Ilhan Omar attack.

Donald remains laser-focused on bringing the cost of groceries down.
FBI raid underway at the Fulton County election hub.

So, first Trump has 2 people murdered in an attempt to force a state to hand over voter rolls.

Now the FBI is going after the exact place Trump had grievances with because he lost an election and they wouldn't fudge the numbers for him.

Bezos pissed away $40 million.

Nobody is going to watch that Melania trash.

But she may be the first Trump to actually get an award that's earned, not stolen.

She should be a top contender for the Razzies.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

How do we protect our constituents and the Constitution? @ramirez.house.gov’s #CupOfJoe is clear. Cut and claw back ICE funding. Prosecute masked agents committing violence. Impeach fascist officials like Kristi Noem. Accountability is not optional.
