The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

All of this happened with basically no help from elected officials of the opposition party. This was entirely the people.

Remember when these guys lied that they were preserving Confederate monuments because you had to leave up the whole messy contested historical record rather than erasing history?
More than 400 years of history and a decade of advocacy were torn down Thursday afternoon when National Park Service employees removed every single display at the President’s House.

The last few years have seen the largest wave of immigration in American history. All those images we carry in our heads about people arriving at Ellis Island — we just surpassed that. Crime went down. Real wages went up. This is a fake problem. Enough is enough.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

The abject failures of institutions and the people who run them have me moving from “We need a third Reconstruction” to “We need a second Constitution.” One that accepts the United States as a pluralistic nation and makes it much harder for powerful thugs to act on their whims.

In 1979 United Nuclear spilled 94 million gallons of radioactive water into the Puerco river, contaminating the water of the entire Navajo Nation.
The state governor refused disaster aid.
In 2007 the water was still highly contaminated.

Public safety means stopping violent crime — not weaponizing ICE against our communities.
That’s why I'm proposing a bill that redirects nearly $75 billion from ICE to local law enforcement.

As someone who was born and raised in Indiana, I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around the idea of IU winning the football national championship. I don't think I ever had the imagination to even dream of it happening.
The Indiana Hoosiers were long the losingest program in college football history. Now, they’re national champions. After winning the most unlikely title in the sport’s history, Curt Cignetti may just be getting started. The latest from me. www.theringer.com/2026/01/20/c...

The purpose of “So How Come College Students Aren’t Protesting Iran, Huh?” is not a sincere desire to direct attention to the Iranian struggle.
It is intended to shame college students for their recent protests against Israel and ICE.

It is not "pedantic" to acknowledge that a college protest against Iran makes zero sense. Protests are typically against things, not in favor of rights movements in other countries!

Pretty clear parallel to the “human shields” rhetoric used to justify targeting families in Palestine.
The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

Anyway ICE was filmed desecrating Renee Nicole Good’s memorial & doing violence to people who found that distasteful. Might be too soon to say if this falls into some kind of pattern of behavior if you’re the stupidest motherfucker on earth.
It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.
