So, folks up North, do your cities use snowplows to seal off every intersecting residential neighborhood from their nice freshly-plowed main roads with a 1/100th scale model of the Wall? Or is that just a thing only still done in states that lack experience managing crystalized dihydrogen oxide?

Many TikTok users recently reported problems uploading videos, sudden drops to zero views, or posts getting stuck “under review.” Almost all of those complaints involved videos criticizing ICE or discussing the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

What do y'all think? Is Bovino headed to Fox for his Wingnut Welfare hush money or will CNN grab him up? Or will he slip right down to one of the extra-creepy youtube channels?

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

ICE and CBP were openly retrained, reequipped, indoctrinated, and habituated to serve as storm troopers and concentration camp guards during his first term. Overt criminality, the performance of illegal acts with ostentatious impunity, is their job. Gangsters can't be reformed into Good Cops.

Is everyone clear now that every single paeon to the sanctity of the Second Amendment uttered by every Republican politician and every NRA member or lobbyist was said in utmost bad faith?

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

BREAKING Minn. Latest Killing: Feds claim person they killed had a gun. Even if true, that's not a crime. Indeed, this administration said repeatedly its 2d A protected activity. Agents would have to KNOW he had a gun and fear IMMINENT harm from it - that is yet to be established by any evidence.

I love how this graphic is totally unhelpful for determining whether you're going to get 30 inches of snow or half an inch of ice.
January 23, 2026 at 8:57 PM
So, inevitably our three feet of predicted snow, something no town in North Carolina below 1000 feet above sea level is physically or mentally equipped to handle, becomes a few inches of ice and sleet which...well, no town anywhere can handle, really.

Tom Suozzi represents the NY-3 district on northwestern Long Island.

If there's any mayor or town council member in Syosset or Great Neck or wherever who wants to make their move, this is the time.

Denounce this vote, promise you'd stand up to the goons, and you'd raise a million in a week.
FWIW:

Golden is retiring.

The filing deadline has passed in NC; Davis is the only Dem running.

The filing deadline has passed in TX; Gonzalez & Cuellar both have primary opponents.

Gillen has several Dem opponents as well, as does Perez.

If you want to primary Suozzi, you still have until 3/30.
