ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

homies who also have been blursed with a uterus: if you’re getting exposed to CS gas it is an abortifacient & if your menses gets out of whack, this is why even if you’re not engaged in any direct action, they still deploy that shit in concentrated residential areas & uninvolved people get it too

NEW: Records reviewed by WIRED show DHS’s facial recognition app (Mobile Fortify) isn’t designed to actually "verify" identity—despite DHS claims and its agents relying on its matches to support probable cause in the field.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

NEWS Elon Musk and others LOSE their bid to duck depositions in DOGE litigation. Judge doubts protections for "high-ranking government officials" for multiple reasons. It's unclear they ever had that status, and Musk "left government service." Doc buff.ly/uhpSOTz

It's true it seems, with no warning or explanation CIA simply discontinued and removed the World Factbook this week. I imagine they'd say we have wikipedia now wo who needs it, but check the footnotes and see how many wiki entries get their data from the CIA factbook. Lots.

Full on concentration camps. "We don't know half of what's going on in the camps, but we know enough" is echoing from 85 years ago.

The SAVE Act is far more dangerous than ICE trying to intimidate voters at the polls, and this might be a rare instance where I think "distraction" is exactly what they're going for: get a news cycle and a faux "retreat" while *legally* stripping millions of the right to vote.

I'll play your game: As an active member who regularly makes financial contributions to the society, I demand a thorough and TRANSPARENT investigation into the actions of Jack Horner of Chapman University, and that measures be taken to protect our members/colleagues while investigation is ongoing.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Is this real life

🧵 At 3pm ET today, I'll be live-posting highlights from the public forum for @lawfaremedia.org. This will some witnesses' very first public appearance and the only one for Brent and Luke Ganger, who do not plan to do any additional interviews. Follow this thread for updates as they happen 🧵👇

Here's my full report at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/the-system...

A Maryland community has nixed a previously issued building permit for an ICE facility. Oklahoma City landowners backed out of a similar deal with ICE late last month, citing community safety concerns should ICE move in following the extrajudicial killings of two U.S. citizens. trib.al/p0pAC3e

Last fall, Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, was appointed to a senior position in the Department of Homeland Security to help oversee election security. (Published Aug. 2025)

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

This Jack Horner. Who’s been known to the whisper network for some time now. There’s a reason I have repeatedly turned down writing about his work or him.

death from disease in concentration camps is so widespread and so predictable that it's pretty clearly a feature, not a bug.

Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and now wants $10 billion because a leaker pointed that out www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

hindsight is 20/20 but maybe selecting university presidents on their willingness to debase themselves for private donor money is related to the current difficulties in defending academia from fascism

This quote from the beginning of this testimony 😩

If you're wondering how mainstream media is covering the broad-based peaceful resistance in Minnesota, this morning @cnn.com aired footage of the Minneapolis 3rd Precinct fire *from the 2020 riots* as if it happened last night. This isn't just misleading, it's a dirty rotten lie.

"Newly released body camera footage of the fatal police shooting of Roberto Calvario Jr. in West Ridge late last year 'contradicts the narrative' put forth by the police department." "[T]he officers' actions — not Calvario's — 'posed a threat to the community.'" #Illinois #USA #Policing

Wherein a journo actively channels the unreliable narrator pedophile from Lolita, confuses the author (Nabakov) with their fictional character (Humbert), perves on a SCHOOL CHILD riding a public bus, and Newsroom just....publishes it???!!!!

Academic publishing is currently experiencing a viral spread of “zombie citations.” I tried following one to see how these references are infecting academic knowledge systems codeactsineducation.wordpress.com/2026/01/30/t...

Since last year, we’ve been reporting on ICE extensively. But every week brings new information, and it’s getting harder to keep track of what’s happening, let alone remember what’s already happened. So here’s a quick thread to help.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

CW: Epstein Files Apparently a screenshot of a released document that was on the DOJ website which was almost immediately removed. I've seen screenshots taken by other people as well showing the same thing, so I'm inclined to think it's legit:

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps. This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

So is the plan to throw staplers at ICE, or

I don't know why they need to make short AI films about the American Revolution when the perfect one was created 18 years ago www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRo...

Acting director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Madhu Gottumukkala, forced CISA to give him special access to the public version of ChatGPT then abused that access by uploading “for official use only” contracting documents to the chatbot.

uh anyone have any idea what's going on here

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

"“One of the things that I don’t think is getting talked enough about outside of Minnesota,” she said after a pause, “is how much this feels like ethnic cleansing. People are so afraid to go out and participate in public life regardless of their citizenship status. This isn’t about immigration.”"

Really weird how many people react to personal tragedies by becoming increasingly racist.

One day after Marimar Martinez sought to lift the protective order in her case, there appears to be a dispute brewing over just such an order in Chicago's Broadview conspiracy case. (Martinez's attorney also represents one of the six defendants in the Broadview case.)

One problem with advocating for censoring unwanted political content on TikTok is that you might get your way

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

this is completely insane and more people need to say that doing this is completely insane

“Already out of Minnesota’s jurisdiction.” Just do we’re all on the same page, he likely means that agent - or agents - as well as Ross are in states where the administration feels confident the governors will fight extradition.

”The godking emperor's secret paramilitary execution squad will leave if you just give us the names and addresses of the people who didn’t vote for him” is not something one hears in a democracy, my guys.

Woke 2 baby let's go

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
