Obscene, mafia-esque level corruption

In memoriam, #AlexPretti. Thank you for the inspiration, Michael F. Dubois. H/T @joycevance.bsky.social for sharing it with your readers, including us!

Chinga la Migra! 46th & Meridian, Indianapolis. Governor's Mansion

ICE Out! 46th Meridian St. Indianapolis.

"This list should give pause to anyone—no matter his or her political beliefs—who cares about the rule of law. ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence." -- Judge Schlitz

Miller is an unelected architect pushing a weaponized narrative, which is an indicator of institutional decay and layers of impunity

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

English translation of statement from Ecuadorian Consulate regarding ICE’s attempt to enter their building in Minneapolis today:

For Alex Jeffrey Pretti Murdered by I.C.E January 24, 2026 by Amanda Gorman We wake with no words, just woe & wound. Our own country shoot ing us in the back is not just brutal ity; it’s jarring betrayal; not enforcement, but execution. A message: Love your people & you will die. Yet our greatest threat isn’t the outsiders among us, but those among us who never look within. Fear not the those without papers, but those without conscience. Know that to care intensively, united, is to carry both pain-dark horror for today & a profound, daring hope for tomorrow. We can feel we have nothing to give, & still belove this world wait ing, trembling to change. If we cannot find words, may we find the will; if we ever lose hope, may we never lose our humanity. The only undying thing is mercy, the courage to open ourselves like doors, hug our neighbor, & save one more bright, impossible life.

Just saw this from @amandagorman.bsky.social

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and Minneapolis resident, was murdered by ICE today. He was a lawful gun owner. Our government saw his Second Amendment right as a threat and executed him in the streets.

ANOTHER ANGLE: the original video was deleted but I screen capped it. Here it is.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Liam Ramos, a preschooler ICE detained the five-year-old Minnesota boy as he returned home from school and transported him to a detention center in Texas.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Trump is selling seized Venezuelan oil and putting the cash in a bank account in Qatar. Nothing to see here. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Current actions in Minneapolis and beyond are NOT done within the scope of authority of ICE. They also cannot arrest legal citizens. An investigation is essential even if it looks improbable

Last night, cities across the country organized protests in response to ICE murdering Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen and the agent responsible still not being in custody. Thank you Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco, Portland, Eugene, Miami, and Houston.

Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

A powerful exposition of how work requirements in social policy echo eugenic logic that devalues #disabled lives deemed "unproductive," warning that current Medicaid cuts resurrect the deadly assumption that human worth must be earned through labor, thanks! @danilynrutherford.bsky.social

“It is ... really hard to get your head around the raw hubris of the majority. They really will be destabilizing the operating structure of the entire U.S. government. Why? Because they believe they have a better idea about how the past century should’ve been done." @debpearlstein.bsky.social!

These outrageous conditions are unconscionable
