Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.

This 1943 U.S. Army film warned about fascism in America

🇺🇸 In Midwestern streets they surge for their blocks, their neighbors, each other. Feet striking pavement, voices braided into one sound. They do not kneel, do not go quiet, do not go home. A community breathing through ICE tear gas. This is American resistance.🔥🔥🇺🇸🤔

“I’ve been telling them I’ve been having cramps and they told me I have to have a referral to see the doctor,” Cecil Elvir-Quinonez told me. “I’ve been telling them every day, and they just say I have to wait.” She hasn’t seen her kids — a 5 year old and an infant — in weeks.

Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come

8th circuit gives ICE go ahead to use force against peaceful demonstrators, a decision which will immediately lead to injury.

JUST IN: The new sheriff of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, confirmed this morning that he had withdrawn his county from ICE's 287(g) program. The Democratic sheriff, Dan Ceisler, ran on this promise last fall in ousting a Republican incumbent.

I wonder how many ICE agents have side hustles as car window repairmen.

Where is the outrage about schools having to close now, due to ICE/CBP attacks (with no end in sight)? No concerns about learning loss? It’s bad to have to close for public health reasons, but not because our society is being ripped apart at the seams, and our government is attacking us?

The Trump administration's claim that recording ICE agents is “illegal” is unconstitutional and dangerous to democracy. Documenting government actions is not a crime. It is a cornerstone of the First Amendment Read the letter we signed with 12 other rights organizations: ncac.org/news/free-ex...

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

There are hundreds of thousands of mechanic, electrician, construction and truck driver jobs that pay just as well but don’t terrorize your neighbors. Anyone who works for ICE should go train for a real job. There are apprenticeships widely available.

There are so many ways to incorporate non-animal protein into our diets. Thanks for sharing this, @worldresources.bsky.social

"Sen. Chris Murphy, the ranking Democrat on the DHS budget subcommittee, plans legislation that would require agents to have warrants for arrests, ban them from wearing masks, limit the use of guns by ICE, and restrict the Border Patrol to the border." fortune.com/2026/01/10/i...

The elite ICE Spoliation Squad snaps into action

Oh my god she uploaded a slow motion video and it's amazing. He's just like me fr running as best he can and still going backwards over and over!

Let's get this straight: the Trump Admin is talking about giving up to $100,000 a PERSON to Greenlanders, but he's refusing to help millions of Americans afford their health insurance??   This is a waste of taxpayer dollars & a slap in the face to working Americans.

Lol. No.

Wow. You’d think he’d have an ounce of self control of his ego.

🚨 The House just took action to stop millions of Americans' health premiums from skyrocketing. Now it's only Senate Republicans who stand in the way. Leader Thune, bring this bill to the floor, NOW.

The agency we all just watched murder a US citizen with impunity is on the verge of being rewarded by having their budget quadrupled within the next three years. July was the best time to stop this. Today is the next best time.

As the nation’s foremost expert on Project 2025, I make sure to check this tracker daily: project2025.observer/en The Christian White Nationalist gov’t overhaul is 51% implemented. And since most of you won’t explore the site, I’ve put together an exploratory clip to show the damage already done:

Here is a courageous American literally "getting in the way". Does the above federal official believe that she deserves to be executed?

Good catch by @emptywheel.bsky.social www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/07/t...

Some “man,” if you can call him that, is waking up today knowing that he intentionally killed an American citizen, a mother with stuffed animals in her glove compartment, while she was trying to obey the commands he was shouting at her while pointing a gun at her head. He is a coward. A terrorist.

Pretty striking how little news this interview generated. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

“.. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

Our reporters are on site at the vigil - network congestion preventing uploads currently. We would estimate up to 10,000 people are attending the vigil near 34th and Portland Avenue in Minneapolis at this time.

She was not alone. Immigration agents have shot at least 14 people over the past year. That includes: -3 people who were observing ICE. -5 people who were driving away. -4 people who’ve been killed. -5 people injured. www.thetrace.org/2025/12/immi...

“No officers or agents have been charged in the deaths.”

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

This is very good, for reasons that may strike many as irritating but I think are important. The admin is going to invoke a string of executive branch interpretations of law. It's useful to know what those are. This post describes w/out endorsing them or suggesting they make everything legal.

And actually--Comet Pizza was a page out of a playbook that started with daycare decades before. In 1983, a California mom accused her son's childcare provider of subjecting children to Satanic rituals--like flushing them down toilets into secret basements where they were then filmed for porn. 1/🧵

Okay, it looks like I need to write a new lawsuit.
