Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

obvious what’s happening here, and that they’re serious, to anyone who hasn’t entrenched themselves into the opposite take by virtue of stubbornness

NEW: ICE will soon spend up to $50 million to anchor a regional transfer hub in the Upper Midwest run by private contractors. An internal forecast reviewed by WIRED points to a Minnesota town with a long-dormant prison. ICE is looking to ship people up to 400 miles across 5 states.

To recap the White House's official position, the racist video was posted erroneously by a staffer and they took it down, but even if it was posted on purpose, the outrage would have been fake because the post was fine and inspired by the Lion King

i guested on one of my favorite podcasts, which is called I Hate Bill Maher. this required me to watch an episode of Real Time. it was terrible. the podcast is good though

Glad to see more reporting back up our story from this week. www.inc.com/sam-blum/mas...

I think "NYT covering for Trump on racist video" is fake news sorry

what am I missing here, this is the NYT front page

“great replacement” is a white supremacist conspiracy theory that has been cited in NUMEROUS mass shootings including buffalo topps and el paso walmart furthermore, what we are seeing in MN is a direct result of that hateful racist rhetoric manufacturing consent and democrats should be saying that

Your taxpayer dollars are going toward this federal lawsuit to expel the family of Liam Ramos

15 to 65, not a huge number—but still a very dumb thing to do to one of your close allies

again... I would not dismiss this out of hand

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

Here’s an under-discussed risk of lucrative fed contracts with local jails: what happens when the feds decide to pull out, or (as DHS seems to be doing more and more) stop paying invoices on time? Well, Cumberland county taxpayers are getting hit with a huge bill www.pressherald.com/2026/02/04/i...

The latest dishonest goalpost moving on this has been to say there aren’t swing states in midterm elections so there’s no way this is going to be targeted at swing *districts* (I guess? hard to follow the argument) but again I’m saying people should take these guys seriously

No, but, yes

this is the thing, they like what he's doing

Since we’ve been talking about civil liability for law enforcement lately, were gonna have to deal with the Independent Contractor Exemption in the FTCA

This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

A dispatch from Surprise AZ where residents gathered to protest plans for a warehouse concentration camp in their community by @azrww.bsky.social “Despite this evidence of authoritarian power, it is possible for even the most local form of government to take a stand in the name of the people.”

“immortalised in internet culture forever via memeing” as a life goal

the biden border bill and choosing to run on a “border patrol endorsed” piece of legislation should go down as not only cowardly and backward thinking but one of the worst strategic political decisions by democrats in recent memory, everyone involved should be out of politics forever

Brave. On task. Holding the line. thank you, CHUCK!

good morning, never die on this hill

Seeing at least one Bluesky imbecile suggest the reporting in this screenshot is inaccurate or made up, sorry big guy but nope

Yes. Yes! Thank you

theyre calling it the most easily avoidable issuing correction on a previous post of mine of all time

it’s okay if you order food every night and think you’re saving money because you don’t know how to cook. I just think you’re a little stupid, is all 💙

Chomsky likens the outrage over Epstein's crimes in 2018 to a culture "swept by craziness" like Nazism or the KKK.

If you're wondering why a tech billionaire's stewardship of a media outlet would result in disaster, may I humbly recommend

I know there are some on here who think this won't happen, or that acknowledging the threat is voter suppression or something, but personally I would take this seriously

Some good news: A little girl from the same Minneapolis-area school district as Liam Conejo Ramos was released from a Texas ICE detention facility late Tuesday. Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano, a 4th grader, had been locked up there with her mom since Jan. 6. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Jeff Bezos:

no actually the movie is about those things, it's not about a story that you read about in the news recently bsky.app/profile/mtsw...

Stanley Kubrick did not know who Jeffrey Epstein was and had not left England for several years before making the movie, I hope this helps

you don't say? at some point we're going to acknowledge what every study ever on this subject has said, right? right? www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

The way the right is using the courts to go after free speech should worry anyone with anything interesting to say

Look you may find this unsettling but have you considered that a Dem +65 State House seat in Minnesota went +90 in a recent special election?

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

"CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss reportedly has final say over Peter Attia’s future." ABOB thought unfortunately remains undefeated

There is a lot happening, but we cannot forget the atrocities in Gaza. @thenation.com asked 8 photographers "to choose one picture from the recent past that carried particular significance for them, and to tell us why they’d picked it." Don't look away. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

no matter how hard this dude tries to rebrand as mainstream/acceptable (he was at anti-ICE protests like last week) he just can't help himself he has not changed substantially, or been genuinely contrite, since my article exposing how he wrote for nazi sites under the name Richard Hoste

One year of a book

Sorry to be Reddit atheist but that’s just “religious”

Unsettling trend of thin skinned right-wingers using the legal system against speech they don’t like as if we’re somewhere like Britain

feel for Erik here, a resident of Minneapolis, having his post used by this guy to smugly score points online

"About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments."
