“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Southcom killed 2 more in the Eastern Pacific today, making at least 131 civilians killed by the US with no due process in 35 attacks over 5 months. Only a sick nation would do this. 23 attacks in the Eastern Pacific, 10 in the Caribbean, 2 unspecified. See adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

Don't think ICE is a worker issue? This asylum-seeking, gig driver with no criminal record was held without reason for 5 weeks. He was forced to abandon his car after being shackled by masked ICE agents.

football is so boring we want benito

This rules. Kick Bovino out of every fucking bar in the country.

After making history as the first Southern autoworkers outside the Big Three to join the UAW, the 3,200 workers at VW Chattanooga have won a tentative agreement that provides 20 percent across-the-board wage increases, affordable health care, real job security, and more. 🔗 uaw.org/uaw-reaches-...

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

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.’”

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

what a repugnant, contemptible baby

solidarity is fucking beautiful

What I’m seeing here is that Epstein is a nexus point for the “intellectual” cabal that shores up the race science justifying our current immigration and anti-DEI policies (Huberman), as well the tone policing moderates (Brooks) that hamstrings oppositions. Oh and their billionaire benefactors.

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

"You are permitted, in narrow ways, to fight your boss. You are not supposed to fight the state. When workers violate that demarcation—when they treat deportability, detention, or raids as union business—it is a recognition that the world beyond their workplace structures the jobsite itself."

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Thousands of union members staged a nonviolent march today. iCE gassed the crowd of nurses and teaches. The neighborhood is in a cloud. Flash bangs are being fired.

ICE are an existential threat to you to your family to your neighbors to your city to your state to your country.

NEW: School hallways are silent. Grandparents patrol outside in shifts. Two more kids taken from Liam Ramos' school. Trump isn't deescalating ICE at all at MN schools. “I stopped wearing my high heels to work. I wear my boots to work because I have had to run." www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

The Labor Department has proposed rescinding an Obama-era rule that gave home care workers the right to overtime pay and other wage protections. The administration says the rule made care too costly.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

important lessons here from the brilliant @stephluce.bsky.social

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

These are the Haitians attacked by Vance in 2024 at the urging of Canadian neo-Nazi Geoff Martin, aka "Captive Dreamer," who he appears to follow closely. They're currently here legally. The admin is abruptly making them illegal, then removing them in a 1940s-style militarized cleansing campaign.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

East LA needs your help - give your time, give your $$, defend your neighbors, chinga la migra

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

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.”

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

"You could drown yourself in media and still never get to the bottom of the well, reaching for signifiers as they float past, assembling them into something that feels like a system of thought but lacks any sense of cohesion."

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

This is the democratic opposition party in Italy protesting against ICE involvement in the Winter Olympics in Milan

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

NEW📰: Concentrated wealth and power threaten free speech at public and private colleges alike. @lookheron.bsky.social argues the real issue isn’t public funding, but governance, power, and who is willing to defend academic freedom when it’s under pressure. https://bit.ly/4aeVtnD

hard to celebrate this when it means is that he’s coming back to SoCal to terrorize our neighbors like he has been for years

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

At the Alex Pretti memorial this afternoon, people are unfurling four very large banners. They read, "How many more will ICE murder? How many more funerals? How many more...how many more?"

Pregame moment of silence for Alex Pretti, followed by several yells of "Fuck ICE!"

"It’s only natural that our brains struggle to find logic in what we are seeing. There is a logic, and this logic has a name. It’s called state terror." @mashagessen.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

01/25 9:45AM Border Patrol is out in Los Angeles, sightings in Echo Park/ Silverlake and South Central. Please stay alert, get vulnerable people inside. Record everything and be safe.

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

I’m in chat with clergy and this what is circulating this morning: “The only prayer I have right now: Psalm 64. A prayer for God’s protection: Hear my voice, oh God, as I complain, guard my life from dread of the foe. Hide me from the band of the wicked, from the throng of those who do evil.” 1/
