Honest question: What’s the difference between - the Trump regime’s violent, lawless attacks on immigrants & - a pogrom?

Yet more evidence that Trump has established a “personalist” regime: The Trump-appointed FBI Director shut down the federal civil rights investigation into the killing of Renee Good because it might “contradict President Trump[],” who blamed Good. 🎁🔗: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

These pages come from the shocking declaration of attorney Kira Kelley before a federal judge. Kelley represents detainees and has witnessed their treatment in America’s new concentration camp system

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 #WakeUpAmerica #BeAngryAmerica The evil Trump fascist MAGA GOP cult must be stopped.

Deceitful regime! 📢 Continue SPEAKING OUT‼️❤️🤍💙

Yes: Kira Kelley is a rock star. But she’s not a prosecutor. She’s a public interest lawyer. climatedefenseproject.org/profile/kira...

God bless Kira Kelley, who took the opportunity given and articulated what we all can see plainly. "I invite the Court to think about the root cause of the problem, the root cause of our collective overwork here and the strain on our system with these repeated, repeated constitutional violations."

Minneapolis AUSA Ana Voss hasn’t explained why she resigned (becoming the 14th lawyer to quit that office in recent weeks). “The logical explanation is that the abuse of detainees, described at the hearing by Kira Kelley, is official policy.” Where a client persists in breaking the law, …

“Law and order:”

Gulag

Well said: “All historical analogies are imperfect & they're only useful insofar as they elucidate what's currently happening.”

That’s a really good point, @tomh4.bsky.social: Before releasing her, ICE required her ‘to sign lots of papers saying that I wasn't going to be a part of any "groups." I didn't know what they meant by "groups."’ Requiring her to sign those papers may have violated the court’s release order.

Just staggering.

Well said : We let the bigots and the racists come out of their caves. We were told to "respect their economic anxiety", and we gave them platforms to spread their hate. The result? It's 2026 and we are discussing gulags in the US of A.

👇🧵 yet another horror story:

Ice Center will join the horrors that come when you think of Gulag, Death Camps and Concentration Camps.

🧵 Read the entire thing. They wanted her to self-deport. Offered money... Lies, gaslighting, abuse.

These ICE prisons actually remind me of how the US treated prisoners at Guantanamo, seeking to induce a sense of helplessness & despair, allegedly so prisoners would then answer interrogators’ questions. It seems that ICE wants to induce a sense of hopelessness so immigrants will “self-deport.”

Yes: If ICE allows immigrant-prisoners to speak w/ their lawyers, they’ll learn that courts have ordered their release But ICE wants to deport every prisoner. ICE may be *intentionally* blocking its prisoners from speaking w/ their lawyers. ICE wants its prisoners to feel utterly helpless & alone

A shame that we should never live down

Can you tell me more, @misterjayem.bsky.social, about cops being “explicitly trained to lie”?

Read it all please.

You're doing a lot! Thank you for being a good citizen.

Damn 👇🏼:

👇🧵 explains how the horrific experience of Kira Kelley’s client, immigrant O., in ICE prisons is consistent with ICE/DHS’s longstanding abusive practices:

As a lawyer, this is the wildest stuff I've ever read in my life.

Better training, right? @booker.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @dscc.bsky.social @judiciarydems.senate.gov

ICE never told him the court had ordered his release. This is a group of totally lawless thugs. DO NOT FUND @schumer.senate.gov @gallego.senate.gov @kelly.senate.gov

You make an important point: In private immigration prisons, the companies (& perhaps the employees?) have a financial incentive to hold prisoners as long as possible, even if it means ignoring court orders to release them. (Am not sure whether the prisons that O. was shuttled among were private.)

😡🤬🥺😢

Yes! We must celebrate & elevate progress when we see it.

👇 important 🧵 about Surprise, Arizona residents urging City Council to oppose “a massive warehouse concentration camp in their community.” Powerful testimony drawing a parallel to the complicity of a WWII-era mayor in Germany who disclaimed any responsibility for the concentration camp in the town.

Must read and share

I dont know much about the Cibola,NM detention center other than it had previously been shut down for inhumane conditions, but the one is Estancia NM often doesn't even have running water. Estancia was opened in '08. Cibola has been detention center since 2016. innovationlawlab.org/cibola-count...

America under felon Trump

Judges need to start holding individual officers personally accountable

The thread as a shareable webpage: https://skywriter.blue/pages/did:plc:5cn3kbi4g5blrtahon34xbu4/post/3me3pthrcts26.

nothing is more clear than that ICE and CBP, from the agents on the street to the top levels of leadership, and right up to the white house, understand their mission not as law enforcement in any meaningful sense—barely even any pretextual sense—but straightforwardly as ethnic cleansing.

That's why financial penalties have to be used! It's appropriations! "You no stop killing people and attacking schools, churches, and hospitals, you don't getta any more money."

Another day, another systemic atrocity...

What the actual fuck. Lying to get a self-deportation when the person was already ordered to be released is fucked beyond hell.

Disgusting

Important read:

This is obscene.

This is a concerted movement to make judicial orders UNenforceable by having multiple "whoopsie doodle" moments where an order is ignored and the mechanism for enforcing it is deliberately prone to failure, while the mechanism for deportation has $2600 it can burn while ignoring the judge's order.
