If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

Ellison: This is the essence of dictatorship. It’s the essence of it. And we’ve got to get over the idea that this couldn’t happen here. Not only could it happen here—it’s happening here.

We have to somehow shift the Democratic Party's default center of power away from the Senate. Power in a real resistance movement is never going to come from (or rally behind) legislators. It needs to come from executives. Governors, big city mayors, influential activists, etc.

This is darkly funny. But part of the problem with Donald Trump is that this is how people have dealt with him for the past 75-plus years.

Long story short (and friends in Europe, please take note):

This approach DOES NOT WORK.

The only way the world can be safe in the near term if is Trump is gone from office - because he’s overthrown through some mechanism or because he’s dead. He is a deranged madmen unfit along every imaginable dimension and he is surrounded by evil criminals who exploit him for malignant purposes.

Leadership need not come from the House or Senate. Governors would be better. Barring that, big city mayors. Even influential activists. But it cannot be these two.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress.

He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

I think the folks at @indivisible.org should be…
Is anyone keeping a list of legislators committing to not funding ICE? Here's what I have so far. Some of them have said they won't fund ICE without reforms.

Rep Adriano Espaillat
Rep Maxwell Frost
Rep Alexandria Ocasio Cortez
Sen Andy Kim
Rep Eric Swalwell
Rep Pramila Jayapal
Sen Chris Murphy

I like Abby, but she shouldn’t be “fed up” with Scott Jennings. She should be fed up with whoever at CNN insists on putting him on. Jennings is an actor. He’s playing a role. He gets paid to lie. Don’t be fed up with HIM. Be fed up with whoever gives him a platform. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/abb...

I feel like the Nobel peace prize people could have avoided this if they gave their medal to someone who dedicated their life to peace, rather than just "this person is an opposition leader."

The Insurrection Act is not "martial law." It doesn't displace civilian law, it doesn't suspend habeas corpus, it doesn't alter or suspend state and local government, and it doesn't make anything newly illegal. It allows using the military to enforce existing law, it doesn't change what the law is.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

This is the safest, most moderate course of action that offers some prospect of de-escalation. It is the only way for Democrats.

Don't do it and we're on a glide path toward brutal fascist dictatorship or civil war. This isn't going to just stop on its own.
Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

They tried to intimidate this resident into opening his door, then left quickly after he refused and reminded them of his 2nd Amendment right
Know your rights. Defend your home. Don't let anyone intimidate you out of your constitutional protections.

Force is required to deal with this. Telling people to remain peaceful isn't adequate.

To de-escalate, Governor Walz should mobilize the Minnesota Army National Guard to keep federal agents away from residents. A leader who stands by while these attacks take place is no leader at all.
On 1/11/26, (ICE) and (CBP) in St. Paul, Minnesota, broke the window of an activist at a gas station. They then forcibly removed him from his car and abducted him while simultaneously firing pepper balls at other community members.
