Now now, let's be reasonable, we cannot expect a prosecuting attorney at the United States Department of Justice who is trying to indict Members of Congress to answer difficult gotcha questions like, "what is the theory of criminal liability?"

Mr. Sim lived in the US for 43 years. He was ordered deported 20 years ago after a larceny conviction. Because Cambodia wasn’t accepting deportations, he was allowed to stay on an order of supervision. After 20 years, he was suddenly arrested at an ICE check-in and sent to detention, where he died.

a two-month-old infant who was so sick he was unresponsive in the last day, deported with his family and their total of $190

See those two dots with arrows pointing to them? They're giant gas planets orbiting their star, located 307 lightyears away. These are directly imaged exoplanets.

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding? Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own. I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history. 1 square = 1 year.

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

Laissez les bons temps rouler 💜💛💚! More than beads and floats, Mardi Gras is a celebration of culture, history, and community. It’s a bold affirmation of our strength and a reminder that making time for joy is not selfish, it’s a necessity.

Hey chat, is it a good thing when federal judges feel the need to open opinions about executive power with quotes from 1984?

”This is a world of compensations; and he who would *be* no slave, must consent to *have* no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”

We’re not calling it “enforcement” anymore, that implies what DHS is doing in our cities is about upholding our laws. Here’s what the violent crackdowns mean for the midterms and what we can all do to flip the script. 🔗 https://www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/stop-calling-it-immigration-enforcement

This thread went a bit viral, which led to the filmmakers of LIFE AFTER inviting me to watching their documentary abt assisted suicide from a disability perspective (in front & behind the camera). It's free to watch on demand this week. Can't recommend it enough, kinema.com/events/Life-...

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

I'm not crying, you are. 😭

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17 One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states www.patreon.com/posts/149210...

It's unchartered, but we can see the terrain: the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps but not new vaccines. That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people, all of them deranged and malicious, control over $3 trillion.

While MLPS was a victory, moral and tangibly, for ICE resisters, don't call it 'a retreat.' The dystopia is just getting started Thousands of new agents. 150 new offices in every state. And the nationwide gulag archipelago. The fight has just begun My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Are Democrats fighting to get us back to this? Or are they fighting to stop this? That's an essential question that party needs to answer and that we should be asking ourselves.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Another great leaping medal podium picture

tl;dr: CBP fired a new weapon into domestic airspace that the FAA had previously warned posed grave risk to human life. It did so without warning to FAA and without restricting airspace. FAA restricted airspace in response. White House overruled them. The target turned out to be a party balloon.

I love that half of Team LGBTQ is women's ice hockey players. We're currently in 6th!

a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

I am, by all accounts, a coward, an overthinker, and a waffler, and I don’t think I’ve ever had greater moral clarity about anything ever in my life. ICE is so absolutely morally repugnant that there is no way to live wirh yourself if you do nothing.

Lesbian Heated Rivalry wouldn’t work because they’d all be out and married by the end of the first season/book. www.outsports.com/2026/2/5/241...

I am confused on multiple levels.

see this is why, as much as many national dems suck, I think there is room for optimism this didn’t used to be the response from blue states! that a number of them immediately grabbed the baton and went for their own aggressive gerrymanders is very encouraging! some of our democrats are learning!

"the anti-ice movement" the fucking anti-ice movement is sharon who has been a girl scout leader for 27 and phang li who carpools your kids to t-ball and James the guy from the deli who was apolitical until he watched ICE beat his buddy for looking brown that's the fucking anti-ice movement

Just when you think things can't get any dumber...

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Here's the thing: This was true in 2024. In the very same surveys where media shouted from rooftops that majorities supported "mass deportation" MORE people supported having people stay. But the latter didn't merit airtime. Chart credit: @mikepod.bsky.social

why do they keep making us sound so fucking cool

it’s time to lock in

This is a hell of a headline:

This American says "Go Denmark!" 🏒 🏅

Freestyle big air is such a cool event. Like how do you even work your way up to these jumps?! 🎿

The Pride flag at the Stonewall Monument is re-raised! New Yorkers won’t let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

The numbers do speak for themselves. In fact, our neighbors know this because they feel it on the ground. They expect us to do more. How about you stop telling us behind closed doors that we shouldn’t fund immigrant legal assistance, rental assistance, or support for our small businesses!

More people for the upcoming trials.

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

This post is really taking off. I know the Thanksgiving detail is grabbing, but I would encourage everyone to also read the full article about this family’s struggle at Dilley. They’ve been locked up for 130+ days. I spent hours with them on Zoom this week, and their story deserves to be heard.

I just found out that the US has never medaled in the biathlon. If we can't win an Olympic medal in the sport with guns, what are we even doing, here?

If there were a downhill skiing + shooting contest, I'd be so in.

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice. We noticed. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
