Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Here's something that gives me hope. I have a closer connection to the Holocaust than most people my age since my father survived the Nazis as a young boy. No one resisted when the Germans invaded his hometown. As I told @atrupar.com yesterday, seeing Americans fight back makes all the difference.

the extent to which this administration is out of control is really summed up by the fact that they immediately went with “this was an armed terrorist there to kill law enforcement” knowing that video from multiple angles completely disproving them was out there and would be seen by everyone

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

It’s in no small part thanks to the work being done here at the UIUC’s National Center for Supercomputing Applications.

VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE

NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

Tonight was spouse's first time watching Dark City. I made sure it was the director's cut, and told him about the theatrical release. He is now freshly mad about 30-year-old decisions.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Learn to tell the diff between Art tutorials/advice that actually improve your skills vs ones that declaratively say you're "doing this wrong" & kill your style

Your weird quirk that's not "technically correct" may be what gives your art its unique style.

How boring if everyone made "perfect" art

I also want to iterate that a declaration of martial law has nothing to do with the holding of elections. There is no provision in the Constitution for suspending elections in the case of martial law. The federal government does not hold elections; state governments do.
What is currently going on in Minneapolis is far past the 'what if he declares martial law' hypothetical for the practical impact it is having on people's lives. (And deaths.) They are going door-to-door, sometimes kicking those doors down, demanding papers on the street and shooting folks.

Yeesh I hate being repetitive, and yet...

It's time once again to remind my fellow Americans that there is no mechanism whereby state run elections can be suspended or canceled by the federal government. None. So don't go along with any garbage you hear to that effect. Laugh, and get ready to vote.

If this admin actually had any semblance of their shit together, or felt confident about asserting domestic force against mass dissent, they wouldn’t have withdrawn the National Guard from U.S. cities right BEFORE launching an illegal and wildly unpopular war.

One of the ways I have tried to make my Bluesky experience better than my twitter experience was is by not reading people's posts/comments in the worst possible light.

If someone says "CSAM is bad" and your retort is "but revenge porn is ok?!"—that's twitter behavior and you should stop it.
