Sending warm wishes for peace and joy to Muslims around the world as they begin observing this holy month. Ramadan Mubarak!

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program. "Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

We are the laughing stock of the world.

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?

I worry that the insolence stems from a plan to retain power indefinitely and escape accountability forever.

Rep. Walkinshaw leaving today’s ICE hearing: “All of this comes from Stephen Miller’s sick, twisted, deranged Great Replacement Theory.” He says when Dems have the majority they will subpoena Miller to testify: “If he doesn’t he will end up in prison for contempt.” @pabloreports.bsky.social

Absolutely shameful. #Dilley

Wow, NBC edited out the audience booing JD Vance at the Olympics. And this is one of the few remaining news outlets NOT owned by right-wing billionaire Trump sycophants www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Following ICE’s deadliest year in two decades, we do not need another massive ICE detention facility. ICE has caused enough harm to our communities. 
They have proven they cannot be trusted to operate detention facilities safely or transparently. Head to crockett.house.gov/media.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

man if i got beaten up by a bunch of random emo teens in Buda, Texas I think I'd never leave my house again

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

A Democrat just won a Texas special election for state Senate, flipping a district Donald Trump won by 17 points.

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

“A little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.” @jamestalarico.bsky.social Over FIVE THOUSAND people gathered to protest against ICE and the Trump administration on Saturday, listen to the full rally everywhere you stream Progress Texas Podcasts.

Respect for the courage and conviction of the ProPublica editorial team

If we had local governments that ACTUALLY cared about The People, police would be posted in front of ICE concentration camps. Our real police would be arresting and JAILING every ICE thug who brings in a prisoner without a genuine legal warrant signed by a judge.

UNION PROUD: Taylor Rehmet is the first rank-and-file union member to ever be elected to the Texas Senate. #WorkersOverBillionaires #SD9 #txlege

More than 5000 people across Texas joined us in Austin today to protest ICE. Children taken from their families, neighbors killed in the street, individuals dying in detention. Enough is enough.

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested. While a $300 million ballroom is constructed and a trash documentary released.

GEORGIA FORT: “Journalism is on trial. This should be alarming to the entire nation. I would ask every journalist: how did it feel to see your colleagues arrested for reporting the news?”

Tarrant County Young Dems endorsements.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

Wrong then, wrong now. Don’t forget: Election day for SD 9 Special Runoff election is THIS SATURDAY 1/31! Make sure you have everything you need before you head to the polls at GoVoteTexas.org.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

It’s really written for all of fighting for freedom.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

TAPPER: They're asking for voter roll information after the death of Alex Pretti. What was it like to see that letter? SIMON: It was really deeply disturbing. Literally hours after the second killing of a citizen in Minneapolis by ICE agents, there's this ransom note

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Your camera is your best weapon in this fight, and now’s the time to use it.

"It’s not about left or right. It’s about right and wrong and rich and poor," said Jimmy Mack, a @uaw.org leader and employee at General Motors in Dallas. (via Gromer Jeffers / @dallasnews.com)

See how this works?

I dislike when people reduce important, history-making moments in modern life to pop culture references. But also fuck it, this is a super great time to rewatch Andor.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Reminder: ICE’s budget has not been renewed — the House voted, but not the Senate — It will take 10 Democratic votes to stop it Pressure your senators

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Bookmark that Vice President and future presidential candidate JD Vance retweeted a post that said Alex Pretti was “an assassin who tried to murder federal agents.”

Holding 3 thoughts. The need to honour a life well lived cut horrifically short by ICE. The hope that something cuts through to those whose identities seem wedded to supporting the violence. That everyone, regardless of background or circumstances, should be safe from being shot in the street.

Mood in minneapolis right now

TW ⚠️ The stabilized version is brutal.
