These stories are absolutely appalling. And they are also ones that have been told by families detained at Dilley every year since it opened a decade ago under Obama. It's long past time for the entire facility to be torn down completely.

Trump’s new state representative.

“You don’t have to torture people. They’re not going anywhere—they’re on a plane.” Thanks to private equity, ICE flights are getting longer and crueler.

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

Actually, Americans are just like you. ~20-30% of them genuinely support fascism, as in ~every 🇪🇺 country. You are just more fortunate to have political institutions & a multiparty system that prevent that 20-30% from fully capturing the center-right party, becoming 51%, & controlling the government.

It is really a low water mark to be at war with the one of the worst regimes on Earth and manage to come away as the callous and undignified party.

A strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh school during the US-Israeli bombing campaign killed up to 168 people. The Guardian has pieced together the incident and its aftermath using verified footage and images from the site:

The Texas Senate primary is today. Here's my profile of James Talarico, a new twist on something old: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

BREAKING: Shackled migrants, federal agents and ICE-contracted guards have been stuck on an ICE deportation plane since 1 a.m. Monday, confirms NH state rep and aviation journalist @wandrme.paxex.aero. My story: gillianbrockell.ghost.io/breaking-sha...

So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.” When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK? www.jewishnews.co.uk/reform-uk-su...

I spoke with 18 people who've known Florida Republican Congressman Cory Mills. Nearly everyone, I found, dislikes him. As one Army veteran who served with Mills put it, “I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me I’m doing good work and to keep going. Things are changing, y’all. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This link has been updated to include our broadcast audio. Listen to hear some of the back and forth between DeLauro and the faith leaders, including DeLauro's simple declaration: "If the vote comes up, I will not vote to abolish ICE. I am telling you that." www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-02...

Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"

For many in the US, free speech is no longer a reality. In interviews with foreign-born academics, I repeatedly encountered fear that even mild criticism of the government (DJT) could cause problems, and that green cards and even citizenship wouldn't matter. www.theredoubt.net/for-some-fre...

This rules so hard. In law school I remember people who wanted to be federal prosecutors spending three years doing everything they could to be maybe, possibly be competitive for an AUSA job someday. Now you just need to hop on X the everything app and DM a guy named Chad.

Sexual violence allegations left Brett Ratner desperate for a gig. Trump delivered.

"It's the first time that fast food workers in our state have been unionized, something we'd only seen in states like California or New York. So, this is a huge moment for us. This has been a half-decade-long fight for our members" @32bjseiu.bsky.social www.wshu.org/connecticut-...

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.

Here we go

America has two major parties: One party exists to serve the demented whims of our Nazi Pedophile Mad King. One party isn’t sure whether to fund his lawless goons who are shooting legal observers in the face. We need to end the two party system.

the chairman of NYC FC's ownership group just joined Trump's "Board of Peace." Brooklyn FC just signed Peter Mangioni. soccer never really lets you just tune out the news.

Absolutely massive turnout at the ICE Rapid Response training in Pittsburgh tonight, hosted by Frontline Dignity. Over 500 people showed up, including dozens from out of county & out of state.

Rådhuspladsen, København, nu.

It's particularly galling to call for ICE to wear body cams when Renee Good's murder literally recorded the whole thing on his phone. He was so confident in his impunity as part of that organization that he recorded and allowed for the release of footage of him shooting a woman at point blank.
