welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up
But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said. There wasn’t much he could say to his son, “except hug him and tell him everything would be OK,” Conejo said. Worried about further upsetting his son, Conejo said, he was forced to bite back his own tears. Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change. "He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. “I would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.”

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

While Sec. McMahon claimed that layoffs at the Department of Education were to improve efficiency, the GAO found they are driving higher costs, growing backlogs, and weakening enforcement of civil rights protections for students. www.npr.org/2026/02/02/n...
The Education Department's efforts to fire staff cost over $28 million, watchdog says
A new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office calculates the cost of efforts to fire civil rights staff and questions the department's ability to enforce federal civil rights laws.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Critical to the success of school "choice" aka privatization is removing any transparency and accountability as they divert public funds to private schools.

The inability to measure the results of vouchers given to these mostly religious institutions strips choice from taxpayers and parents.

Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll.

And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration.

This is digging deep into Trump's base.

We detail these numbers on today's pod:

Okay so I was actually at this encounter, filmed the aftermath, and am briefly visible in this video, and I would point out that what he does here is briefly kick a car twice. ICE beats him up, shoots pepper balls into the crowd, and launches tear gas at everyone else before leaving.

News Movement posted this video of Alex Pretti on Jan 13, showing him spitting at ICE agents and kicking their taillight.

Now conservatives are suggesting this changes things.

That would mean they are suggesting he deserved to be target of an extrajudicial execution.

The video changes nothing.

At the Lowell National Historical Site, workers can no longer show films about the grueling conditions in 19th century mills (which led to historic strikes by the Lowell 'mill girls'). Films are *implicit critiques* of the Gilded Age, of which the boss is a fan www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/c...

Instagram influencers of all kinds are getting “political” and they don’t care how many followers they lose.

They are posting video of them doing what their account is known for (skiing, golf, cooking), with text overlay reminding their followers that they can’t do X if they’re killed by ICE.
Screenshot of an Instagram post by Vanessa_Chav. It is a video of her skiing and the text on the screen says reminder that although this is a skiing account, it’s gonna get political because you can’t ski Pow if ice murders you. Screenshot of an Instagram post by John_Young_golf. In the video he is golfing on the screen, says reminder that this is a golf account, but golf is political because you can’t golf if you’re executed in the street by a gang from the government. Screenshot of an Instagram post by straight_Lines_and_bourbon. The image is of bourbon and the screen says reminder this is a bourbon account, but I can’t drink bourbon if I shoots me in the face. Screenshot of an Instagram post by Sadiescookiecompany. It’s an image of her putting on her apron and the text on the screen says a reminder that although this is a cookie decorating account, it is actually political because you can’t decorate cookies if 🧊 murders you

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.

Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.
Knutson mentioned in passing that his neighbor had “an adopted brown kid down there; they hid her in the basement yesterday.” This kind of thing no longer sounds weird in Minneapolis. Many people are hiding indoors—so many that, in a city with a substantial minority population, I hardly saw any Black or Latino faces on the street.
