The shadow cabinet idea was a great idea and should have been implemented a year ago. Would have presented an organized, unified response to the chaos, issue by issue, by people with expertise.

Wanna know something? Right before migrants get loaded onto an ICE removal flight, they return their gray jumpsuit and get deported in whatever they were wearing when captured. Have heard from many migrants that the planes are freezing and some shackled people are in summer tank tops and flip flops.

This is a very good point. The November 2025 US National Security Strategy never mentions the Arctic at all. The idea that it's a genuine security priority for the Trump administration is not credible.

Nasra Ahmed, 23, was walking through the parking lot of her auntâs St. Paul apartment complex when she found herself surrounded by 12 agents. Ahmed, born in the USA, says she showed them her I.D. She was forcefully detained and jailed anyway for more than 2 days.

Update: The admin is moving to quickly deport witnesses who saw ICE detainee die. They say the man was just trying to get his meds. ICE guards shackled him Then they choked him. The admin moved to deport the witnesses â right after they spoke to WaPo.

We've heard a number of reports now of DHS agents at Whipple confiscating arrestees' phones and refusing to return them. Talked with a guy several nights ago who said they wouldn't give his back, and there were more reports of it last night. Just something to keep in mind/be aware of.

When South Korea successfully stopped a coup, arrested the former president, and prosecuted him, it sent a very strong message to everyone else: "You can trust that 4 years from now, you won't have to worry about him returning and fucking everything up." The US under Biden did the exact opposite.

Heard from a public school staffer. ICE agents follow school buses on their afternoon routes & target some parents picking up kids from bus stops. If ICE knew anything abt particular parents, they'd go to homes. Seems they're just leveraging kids' vulnerability & mixing with racial profiling.
