A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive. One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy. Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

If you are not familiar with this man: he likes to give out fresh juice he makes all the time, he volunteers to teach children to cook, he's the kind of guy that makes you feel better about your neighborhood. Get a whistle. Get loud. Get organized. Thwart these kidnappers at every turn.

So, a SAM flight came into MSP today. SAM is the call sign for a DoD flight. It flew from Florida to here *during a blizzard*. So, what Department of Defense folks do you think rate a special handling flight into a blizzard? Hegseth? Vance? More HSI agents for operation Metro Surge?

Nobody wants AI. We want Mexican Coke and McDonald’s to bring back the dollar menu. That’s it, you fucking pigs. Easy.

A third of the women in the maternity ward have life-threatening complications that could be treated simply with food. They suffer from anemia and high blood pressure. Their babies are born early, weighing too little and with underdeveloped lungs.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

WaPo reports that ICE is planning 7 massive human warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people. Recalls the acting ICE director 2015 statement that he wanted to see a “business”-oriented approach to deportations, “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings”. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

WATCH: Here's the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" last night

Trump and Stephen Miller kidnapped innocent people of color and just sent them to die in a foreign prison. Oh American taxpayer dollars - 6 million of them - went to pay Bukele of El Salvador for this dirty work.

“Gantchev suffered from type 2 diabetes and told his wife no diet accommodations were made for him. She and Anna said the small amount of food that is given to people detained at North Lake was not enough for maintaining Gantchev's blood sugar levels.”

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

One of the most haunting moments of this reporting came for me as I sat with this mother right after her son was taken. She just kept repeating how people are disappeared in Venezuela and said ICE left her "with the same impression." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/how-a-h...

I know people are rightly going to be worried about child health, their own health. But we also can't afford this. Like, John Hopkins did an estimate (next link) and every measles case during outbreaks cost on average $43,000 to treat. That kid who got tetanus cost $1 million dollars to treat /1

This will kill our children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years. It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

Notice how Trump and Republicans were having the worst couple weeks in the administration's history and they decided to pivot to hardcore attacking trans people?

New attack on immigrants: the Trump administration is demanding that Citizenship and Immigration Services field offices start drumming up “100-200 denaturalization cases per month.” Normally a naturalized citizen cannot be stripped of citizenship unless they committed fraud on their application. 🎁

STOP CALLING IT AN IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN! TAKING CITIZENSHIP FROM EXTREMELY VETTED NATURALIZED CITIZENS IS NOT A CRACKDOWN! IT'S BETRAYAL.

WTF are we even doing

I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics. Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"

The records also show at least six Canadian children, with birth years ranging from 2009 to 2024, were detained during the period. One Canadian child was held for 51 days — more than twice the 20-day limit set by a long-standing U.S. court-ordered agreement …

Hey Seattle friends, if you donate to KUOW let them know what you think of this decision. I got a follow-up phone call from them where they said they'd share my thoughts with KUOW management. An opportunity to influence local media consumption.

“On Dec. 4, four people who have been in the country lawfully for years had their oath ceremonies at Faneuil Hall canceled by Citizenship and Immigration Services officials.” They don’t want legal immigration either.

Trump’s ICE is going after immigrants who are VOLUNTARILY leaving the U.S. and sending them to inhumane detention centers. Why? Just so they can funnel more money into private, for-profit prisons. The cruelty is the point. www.tpr.org/news/2025-12...

MINNEAPOLIS: “We kept yelling ‘she’s pregnant! She’s pregnant!’ — they put their knees in her… the handcuffed woman was dragged on the ground…” Lawless.

@kuow.org As a long time supporter I was incredibly disappointed to hear you offering a New York Times subscription as a premium. The NYT has become an outlet for sanewashing the President’s cognitive and moral failiures and promoting baseless hatred of trans people. Why would you platform this?

"Mothers had to choose which of their kids to feed...Pregnant women with life-threatening anemia were so desperate for calories that they ate mud. Out of options and mortally afraid, refugees began fleeing...They said they’d rather risk being shot or dying on the perilous route than slowly starving"

I have been covering the movement fighting back against ICE in NYC but these things are happening all over. People spent a good bit of this year wondering when resistance to Trump would begin and what it might look like. It is happening now and it's all around us.

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray. The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter. These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby. We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.

There is a network of court watchers who support immigrants at the ICE courts in Manhattan. They have learned the movements and "personas" of the masked agents. One told me: "Some of them are very sadistic." talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/new-...

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Jfc. Senator John Hoffman reports ICE took the owners of crumbs and coffee in BP this morning and left the building unlocked with money on the counter.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

There's ample evidence that Trump/Miller saw Abrego Garcia as a test for the broader MAGA project. Miller hopes to carve out power for Trump to remove people with zero legal constraints. JD Vance's dishonesty has been reprehensible. It all now looks even worse. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2043...

For weeks, Trump officials have refused to send him to Costa Rica even though he said he'd accept that. The ruling savagely details extensive misconduct here. We all know what happened: Trump/Miller decided sending him there wouldn't be sufficiently dehumanizing. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2043...

Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2043...

Also, it sounds like people have figured out which hotel the ICE agents are staying at and are giving them a lovely overnight musical performance with drums and vuvuzelas and so on. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in. KEEP IT UP.
