A necessary read.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

it's weird to see people complain about Bad Bunny's performance being in Spanish when there have been entire operas in Italian, German and French performed in the US and the top song of the last two years, K-Pop Demon Hunters' "Golden" has lyrics in Korean

Samiya, 17, led her Los Angeles high school's walkout. "The White House has a TikTok account, and they’ll post things like 'deportation ASMR'. You go on YouTube the night before school, and you watch an ad of Kristi Noem threatening everybody who has ever come to this country. It’s frightening."

Israeli settlers broke into a mosque b/w the Palestinian villages of Kisan & Al-Minya near Bethlehem on Sun. night, Feb. 8, 2026, vandalizing the site & desecrating religious property. According to the head of the Al-Minya village council, settlers burned copies of the Quran, stole carpets, & cut...

The seething contempt Republicans have for Latino-American culture has been on full display over the last 24 hours.

If you are too young to remember Surya, she was a fucking ICON. The only person in history to do a BACKFLIP with a SPLIT ON THE AIR, which she’d land ON ONE FOOT Of course she wasn’t properly appreciated in her time because racism. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pAhy...

“OUR HUMANITY” is under assault by our own government.

This sums it up.

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

FBI agent resigns after Good civil rights investigation shut down. "She was then ordered to reclassify it as an investigation into an assault on the officer.... [the DoJ's] Todd Blanche [told] Fox News Sunday... the shooting did not warrant a federal investigation." www.kare11.com/article/news...

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

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.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

As I watch in horror the continuing genocide and total destruction in Gaza by "a Jewish state", I will not be told by a Rabbi in Australia how I should be a kinder and a better person. Perhaps he could share his message with the international criminal PM Netanyahu.

Minneapolis residents have joined a church-run effort to donate groceries to immigrant families who fear being caught in public by federal agents. What started with a couple of hundred deliveries a week has quickly swelled into a vast operation involving thousands of volunteers. trib.al/1qT1xMw

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

ICE shooting victim claims he was shot through door after letting cousin inside. "We were successful in helping my cousin get inside. ....I closed the door. And as I was locking it, I heard the shot, and that’s when I realized I had been shot in the leg.’” edition.cnn.com/2026/01/18/u...

Another proud day for America.

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

We must continue the work to abolish ICE. But right now, Congress can stop ICE’s violent reign of terror. Tell them to do it today: (202) 224-3121

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

As you already well know by now, it's all lies. Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie. All of it. Every time.

“The United States will not let men steal trophies from women…” - says guy who happily took the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to a woman

“A federal judge on Friday barred federal agents in Minneapolis from arresting peaceful protesters, or using nonlethal munitions and crowd control tools against them.” www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

It's now been four weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

A friend just sent me this:

He’s turned the presidency into the world’s largest ATM machine.

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week. Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car. Why is any of this necessary?

Temporary power, permanent consequences 💥

If he gets canned he will make many years worth of salary on a Go Fund Me before he wins his grievance through the union.

Frey: "You know what I don't want [ICE] focusing on? Hunting down a dad that just dropped his kids off at daycare, is about to go work a 12 hour shift who happens to be from Ecuador. That guy makes our city a better place."
