The fundamental problem here is not one of bad apples. This is what the agency is designed to do. The barrel is bad to start with.
There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy
This is a list of businesses across Minnesota that are closing tomorrow in solidarity with the economic shutdown. Huge thanks to every one of them for stepping up. If your business is also closing, drop it below.
One year into Trump’s presidency, Florida families are paying $1,342 more as the cost of food, housing, health care, and utilities keeps rising.
Republicans broke their promises, and families are stuck with higher bills. I’m not backing down — and I’ll keep fighting to make life more affordable.
A major coalition is launching a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow, aimed at pushing out ICE.

Workers pruning cherry trees
"Ian" is hard at work pruning cherry trees in Sunnyside WA in 29° weather. Holding these shears up all day long as you climb up and down ladders causes serious strain on workers' arms, shoulders and back. When it's this cold, the work is even harder. #WeFeedYou
Virginia Democrats, who have just taken over the Governorship, are putting forward legislation to create a state-run paid family and medical leave program.
The program would pay qualified workers up to 80% of their average weekly salary for up to 12 weeks.
In the 34 days since the Epstein files were supposed to be released
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is sworn in:
“I love my country.”
“I am not a politician & I hold no partisan loyalties. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law.”
“My approach has always been the same: follow the facts & the law, without fear or favor.”
Sensitive personal data was pulled into partisan election activity it was never meant for. And yes, there are still serious, unanswered questions about where that data went and who may still have access to it. It is likely that DOGE employees, and Elon, still have copies or backups with access.
Many people said we were exaggerating and called us liars. As we warned (and as many expected) the DOJ has now acknowledged misconduct by the Trump administration and DOGE employees.
a chart showing how in 1995 the top 20% and everyone else each conducted about 50% of consumer spending. That has now diverged to 59% and 41%.
In our increasingly unequal economy, the top 20% of earners power 59% of consumer spending.
Everyone else accounts for 41% of spending.
Immigration is a resonant theme of Jewish life in the U.S. So it’s no surprise about 100 rabbis are headed for Minneapolis to protest the ICE raids there. religionnews.com/2026/01/21/t...
Wild how being anti-pedophilia is a partisan issue.

Help Windmill mushroom workers get their union contract. They voted for the UFW in 2022 but the company won't budge. WA Supreme Court just agreed to hear their case. This means a court battle and the cost that goes with it.

ICE is underwater with noncollege whites, god damn

"Ana" is pruning grapevines in Madera County. She earns 34 cents each plant and there are approximately 80 plants per row. On a good day workers complete four to five rows per day. Their workday that lasts from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. #WeFeedYou
Thank you, Jack Smith, for your testimony and your commitment to the rule of law.
Why are we acting surprised? Dozens of allegations. 34 convictions. No respect for the Constitution. And we’re supposed to believe January 6th was a bridge too far??
A U.S. citizen dragged out of his home, barely clothed, into the cold.
A 5-year-old detained on his way home from preschool.
This is the reality of what ICE is doing with their $75 billion budget. Wouldn’t this be better spent on health care?
Why?????????
Worth noting that among those participating in ICE/DHS watch in Minneapolis today — who Emmer appears to frame as “chaos agents” here — are literally hundreds of clergy.
Two unconventional signs of severe incoming weather:
1. A waffle house being closed
2. Ted Cruz hopping on a plane to take a vacation
They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops
Republicans want us to vote to fund more of this.
Hell no.
