One thing sort of flying under the radar is the Fort Bliss aspect. CBP/DHS has a large detention camp (Camp East Montana) where detainees have been dying and the Army seemingly isnt investigating despite being on base land. And now the DoD is lending CBP lasers it used near or on the base.

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs. His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims. (Published Feb. 2023)

This seems bad

Everybody stop what you're doing and look at this cat I'm sitting

It is genuinely psycho shit and also there are a lot of those people in animal rescue: always say they love animals more than people, drip with contempt for other humans, firmly believe themselves to be the only responsible pet owners. They will absolutely try to steal someone’s dog (1/2)

Bookmarking the fact that Bondi yelled "Don't you ever accuse me of a crime" at the hearing today. Just a hunch that we'll want to revisit that audio at a later date.

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Seems it’s been a while since I’ve posted a Theo

Polling on trans issues is difficult to interpret. It becomes even more difficult when pollsters use politically charged terms like 'transgender ideology.' Great new analysis by @billiejsweeney.bsky.social, only on Assigned Media. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

In a letter to the editor, the chair of the Minnesota Lawyers Professional Responsibility Board (the entity responsible for investigating unethical conduct by attorneys) sounds a warning clearly aimed at government lawyers supporting the ICE occupation. www.startribune.com/readers-writ...

This is criminal conspiracy to commit murder, and attempted murder. If the DA in Cook County doesn’t use this as evidence for an indictment, then we are cooked.

"Another day another 16th Century mouse" is the kind of sentence I need to run into more in my life

I want to reiterate, because it may have gotten lost in this thread, but ice is now wearing plain clothes, carrying whistles and blowing them at observers in an effort to intentionally confuse people on the ground. That alone is a major escalation and shift in tactics which should be noted.

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.

Never forget that fash are especially vulnerable to being shamed by women. That includes other women

Apparently not just me, Sold 5 in the last two hours and raised $100 for rent relief efforts.

This is an excellent explanation of why ICE watch works. youtu.be/FDVrPfZqbhU?...

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding. There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

This is really nice!

Missed this one earlier. Great work identifying Jacob Daniel Jones of Olathe KS as “Prairie Nationalist” and leader of the Neo-nazi heartland active club. This guy is very active in the white nationalist/nazi community.

Reminder! if you're in or around Baltimore on Feb 28, come join us at Red Emma's in Waverly to learn more about contracts, citizen journalism, and how to use open data for community defense.

also worth noting, we only know about Patriot Front's businesses and Ian Michael Elliot's employment as a private security contractor because @wileydcope.bsky.social found out Patriot Front guys are all prolific Google Reviewers.

Good News: Paulina Borsook's "Cyberselish" will be reissued by Tin House books with a new introduction by....me! I'll post the link when it's ready for pre-orders. Never underestimate the power of a humble BlueSky thread!

After a federal judge banned the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) from using 40mm foam projectile launchers in crowd-control settings, the LAPD replaced the 40mm with another “less-lethal” launcher: the FN303. The full story: lataco.com/lapd-fn303-j... By @shoton35mm.bsky.social

Over the last few months, TPUSA has made similar state partnerships with officials in Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and (launching next month) Indiana. Some of these states are also requiring a TPUSA club on every public college campus too.

Bloomington Police just announced they've arrested a Department of Defense employee in a sex trafficking sting. The police chief said his job is to do background checks and security clearance checks on ICE agents.

"A girl living in central Minnesota alleges that immigration authorities separated her from her family and detained her overnight in a hotel, where she was forced to share a room with federal agents" www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

"Saxon, officially an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations official, has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He reportedly started seeing the victim when she was 18 and he was in his 40s."

@bywayofplymouth.bsky.social has their account back. I hope this ends up being a constructive learning experience for @safety.bsky.app on how violent neo-nazis will try to game the system to silence legitimate reporting on their threats to vulnerable communities.

Judge grants bond for Cumberland County corrections officer arrested by ICE

The federal agency known for widespread racial profiling, rights violations, ignoring court orders, murder — is expanding rapidly into office space across the country. Every American deserves a secret police outpost in their city. www.wired.com/story/ice-ex...

Kevin Moncla, who pleaded guilty to a voyeurism charge and was ordered to pay more than $3 million for secretly filming guests in his home bathroom, has tried repeatedly to prove that the 2020 vote in Fulton County, Georgia, was tainted by fraud.

This is a lie

Hot dog ass court

The numbers speak for themselves

Looks like it's time to whip out that old BBC complaints form again www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...
