NEW: The Trump administration’s push for mass deportations has resulted in more than 18,000 challenges in federal court from immigrants claiming their detention is illegal. We are tracking the increase in these cases 👇

This stuff is not ready for prime time; why are we rushing to adopt?

BREAKING: on this Super Bowl Sunday, Epstein Survivors have just released this PSA: “Stand with us.  Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH” Please share everywhere!

Our recent study on lobbying and testimony against climate action in RI. My observation is that having leveled the bureaucracy and commitments of the USA at the federal level, the howitzer of anti-climate pressure is being leveled at the states. Even the blue ones. ecori.org/lobbyists-op...

This BS #voting law here in NH, which requires proof of citizenship to register or cast a ballot, is being challenged in court. The trial starts this coming Monday. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-ha...

This is wild. ICE raids may be part of a larger Trumpy effort at affecting elections.

This is SO IMPORTANT in this moment. Don't have a full link yet but this excerpt from Bunch's column on the upcoming #ICE facility in PA is a must.

This info pertains to US #elections as well. Apparently, many folks get help making voting decisions thru #AI chatbots, and are being fed slop.

If it weren't so appalling, it would be hilarious. American Energy Institute pro-fossil-fuel overconsumption swag! Git yours today! americanenergyinstitute.revv.co/storefront/

I could weep. I would not feel safe as a student, professor or administrator, knowing that anyone at any time could be packing heat. Many in this state are hunters, but they keep their guns at home.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an executive order directing local police to investigate reports of illegal activity conducted by ICE and other federal immigration agents. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/2/3/chicago_brandon_johnson

“[D]ocuments confirm that ICE is not only planning to build a human detention facility in Merrimack, but also that it is actively pursuing legal approvals to do so while declining to tell the public, the press, or the town of its plans.” Meanwhile, Gov knew but denied.

City budget meetings are about meeting residents’ needs. But in Jacksonville, that goes awry when Florida DOGE makes demands to slash millions in spending. How Trump’s policies trickled down to the local level, this week on Reveal with @thefloridatrib.bsky.social and @dailyyonder.bsky.social:

Speaking truth to power, cleverly (gift link) How a Judge Weaponized Wit to Free the 5-Year-Old Detained by ICE

Yesterday I made online testimony against a New Hampshire state bill that would require random checks of the citizenship status of voters *already on the rolls.* Hey kids, let’s codify voter suppression and surveillance! #elections #NH

This is how we do it in rural New England – participatory democracy. My town’s deliberative session is this Saturday. indepthnh.org/2026/02/02/a...

Working for Donald Trump means you usually get stiffed. Wouldn’t it be ironic if a ton of ICE employees walked off the job

Every journalist whose theat model includes this administration/the federal government needs to be aware of this. Signal for desktop + touch ID + they have a warrant = the feds can read any of your signal messages that haven't disappeared.

"Imagine, if you will, a parallel universe. The state of Michigan, home of America’s auto industry, is a thriving hub for electric vehicles," writes @emdashsanders.bsky.social. Michigan's new lawsuit argues that could have existed by now if Big Oil hadn’t conspired to block it for decades.

Woah

What if I told you some of us predicted this back in 2002?

MEGA bill would “move voting from a fundamental right to a permission based system.”

NEW from me: Every morning for the past week or so, a group of ~24 clergy in Portland, Maine drive out to a business. They form a line near a door, shielding a group of mostly immigrant workers as they exit their shift. Then faith leaders stare down DHS agents. religionnews.com/2026/01/29/m...

Great example of the power and value of #LocalJournalism #Maine h/t @salomecloteaux.com at @pressherald.com

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

NEW REPORT📣 Across the country, people have been arrested & charged after pregnancy loss, whether they miscarry at home on a toilet, bury the remains, or bring remains to a hospital. Our report, “After Pregnancy Loss,” looks at what state laws have to say: www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/wp-content/u...

Venezuela and now Iran?

The Trump admin “has overhauled a set of nuclear safety directives & shared them w/ the companies it is charged w/ regulating, without making the new rules available to the public… The sweeping changes were made to accelerate development of a new generation of nuclear reactor designs.” 1/28/26 …1/

"At the end of the Cold War, it was as close as 17 minutes to midnight. In the past few years, to address rapid global changes, the group has changed from counting down the minutes until midnight to counting down the seconds." In my 20s ('80s) it was 3 minutes to midnight. WTH are we doing?

Great Pyrenees enthusiasts, firearms comics, Sponge Bob memes, even the Real Housewives Reddit subs are all Fuck ICE posting

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

I will keep repeating this until everyone gets it: The Trump regime could literally kill your family for no reason and Trump, the GOP and right wing media will defend their murder. This is what a fascist regime looks like.
