Wonder why it's suddenly harder to get a passport... 🤔 www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Every strawberry tells a love story. Not the kind sold in candy, but a story rooted in sacrifice. Farmworkers harvest with care, yet they face low wages and fear. Love means respect. Love means justice. Love means standing with farmworkers. #ValentinesDay #WeFeedYou

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

League fixtures thread 🧵 There’s some Friday night football with Man City facing Leicester City to kick off the weekend’s WSL action! #BarclaysWSL

This is unconscionable

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Sickening. #ICEOUT #MN www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Countless articles over the past year quoted hundreds of employers stating that Latino-American workers who are citizens are afraid to show up to job sites for fear of being profiled and detained. If they are afraid to go to work, they damn sure won’t go to vote with ICE there.

Facilities won’t remain empty. Who will be next?

Krishnamoorthi: When I saw where Ghislaine Maxwell was doing her remote deposition from, it did not look like a prison. It looked like a dining room. It looked like some nice mansion. It just reminded me that she got this sweetheart deal from Trump…

No apology from Bondi—shame youtube.com/shorts/DxUEc...

Way-hey! After concerted local pushback, New Jersey company decides not to contract with ICE: "The contract with ICE will not move forward, a Holman spokesperson told Patch. "I have been informed that we declined that particular body of work," the spokesperson said... patch.com/new-jersey/c...

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

"They had driven almost seven hours from Froid, a town of about 200 people in the northeastern reaches of the state, to back one of their own..." www.newsfromthestates.com/article/comm...

No surprise there.

WATCH — @warnock.senate.gov: “They are seizing ballots, gunning down ordinary citizens, arresting journalists. All the alarm bells 🚨 are blaring. The question is, are we listening?”

They’ll try to convince us that DDT has cancer curing properties and should be brought back.

Trump repealing landmark Climate finding that Green House Gases negatively impacts Public Health & the Environment does not make America 🇺🇸 healthier! The only groups helped by this repeal are the Industry groups bankrolling this 🤡; not the 🇺🇸 people and environment.🤯 apple.news/AYwVc7NcBRUW...

The Taken Inside the ICE Detention Pipeline for US Citizens and Residents from Minnesota to Texas By @rgoodlaw.bsky.social and Sophia Khoroushi www.justsecurity.org/131101/ice-m...

“Being an elementary school student in the United States is more deadly than being an ICE officer.”

Attempted child rape, domestic violence, detainee sexual abuse & taking bribes are among ICE & immigration officials' documented crimes. Experts say this pattern of crimes committed by immigration officials could accelerate given the sheer volume of new employees compounded by poor hiring practices.

At least two dozen ICE employees and contractors have been charged with crimes since 2020, including repeated sexual abuse of a woman in custody and another charged with taking bribes to remove detention orders on people targeted for deportation. apnews.com/article/ice-...

This is what ICE calls a "violent criminal." A Missouri grandma and lawful resident spent months in detention for a decade-old misdemeanor, underscoring the massive scope of the administration’s deportation efforts. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

A guy who was responsible for running background checks on potential ICE agents was arrested for sex trafficking. Is ANYONE surprised by this?

Strong GDP growth, stronger payrolls than expected, near-record stocks. Kevin Warsh is going to have a hell of a time lowering rates aggressively. I expect he will find a way overcome concerns & service Trump. Which means the coming correction/crash/crisis will be that much worse when it arrives.

This episode has a good rundown The bridge was set up as a stock company ~100 years ago, which went bankrupt in the 1970s and got snapped up by one predatory capitalist, and now it belongs to his direct heir 99percentinvisible.org/episode/640-...

Confirmation by the NYT that Trump’s threat came after direct lobbying from billionaire Matthew Moroun, who owns the existing bridge. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/w...

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

It’s tomorrow!!!

Airspace over El Paso, Texas & southern New Mexico is closed for 10 days under a “national defense” designation. No explanation. El Paso is my hometown. After talk about bombing cartels & expanding border ops, people are obviously worried. The public deserves answers.

Why Minnesotans Still Haven’t Backed Down From Fighting ICE slate.com/news-and-pol...

Police announce 30 arrests in sex trafficking sting operation in Bloomington, MN: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies." #DefundICE #ICEout #Minnesota #ProudBlue

FYI: Elon Musk committed a felony in Minnesota the day his company started disseminating child sexual abuse material. Minnesota is not the only state with this law. And I believe there is a same/similar federal law.

We have an update on the Liam Ramos family, and it isn’t good. The family is in hiding, and Liam is waking up in the middle of the night screaming for his daddy.

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right? LUTNICK: I don't know K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level? L: I don't know K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Yet another example of predators hiding in academia. This is an excellent report by The Daily Texan and student Justin Doud. Former professor Thomas Hubbard appears in the Epstein files asking for $10,000 to set up a conference meant to challenge the notion of consent and sexual assault.
