I'll go by "journalist musician" for the immediate future

I don't think so

They know their defenses are lies and that everyone knows they’re lying, so they have to push the negative polarization button in the hopes that their supporters rationalize the indefensible. It’s worked so far bsky.app/profile/jwmu...

Alright people - We're wearing black all week. If you have mandated work attire, such a color coded scrubs, put a black band on your badge or on your arm. We owe it to Alex. 🖤

Kristi Noem deserves to be impeached for the things you know about: mass deportation policies that have gotten Americans killed. But folks aren't talking enough about what she's not doing: keeping us safe. She's gutting disaster relief agencies and putting us all at risk.

Now would be a great time to advocate for FEMA to be a cabinet level position in its own right. As it stands now, their funding is tied to DHS and ICE.

seems like a widespread problem

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

Target in Minneapolis has pulled Hispanic employees off of pick-up order duty after ICE arrested two US citizen Hispanic employees while on the job. “I’m literally a U.S. citizen!” one shouted as they escorted him into a van.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

A moment of silence that ends with someone shouting "fuck ICE!" and the crowd roaring in response

This is absurd to put all of those CBP agents involved in the murder of Alex Pretti back onto the streets already. They pose a very real, proven danger to the community.

Alex pretti was a Va nurse and a dog owner

The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that it needs to send the military into American cities because of the unique danger faced by federal agents. But, according to ICE's own data, the leading cause of death for agents is COVID-19. You can read the full report here: tinyurl.com/mwc85xf5

Apparently DHS shoots many more residents than undocumented immigrants do…maybe they should be sent to the camps they built?

Here for the 🐈 🐈 fight www.ms.now/news/ted-cru...

I’m fairly high-info, and I didn’t know half the details in this. “CBP officers and Border Patrol agents commit crimes at an equal or even greater rate PER CAPITA than the population of undocumented immigrants do in the United States”. Also, they only get 47 days of training. Yes, that’s why.

The scene right now in Minneapolis at a vigil for Alex Peretti at the location where he was murdered. I wil be here all week reporting for @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

MN healthcare workers are wearing black ribbons tomorrow. Healthcare workers everywhere: please join us in solidarity.

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."

The largest Trump superPAC donor so far this cycle is the president of OpenAI

Bill Melugin of Fox News may be the best-sourced journalist within ICE and CBP. If he's hearing this, the administration has a real problem.

A reminder that Pam Bondi's deadline to release ALL the Epstein files was over a month ago. She's defying Congress and violating federal law by withholding millions of documents. She must release the files NOW and deliver the accountability and transparency survivors deserve.

Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.

The National Basketball Players Association has released a statement on the killings in Minneapolis: “Following the news of yet another fatal shooting in Minneapolis, a city that has been on the forefront of fight against injustices, NBA players can no longer remain silent”

Even before Alex Pretti's name was widely known, his public killing was made exponentially more public by its rapid dissemination over social media and the news. www.newyorker.com/culture/on-t...

Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown. Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

what, and i cannot express this strongly enough, the fuck www.cpr.org/2026/01/23/i...

Literally EVERYTHING else aside: Officers involved in shootings - even shootings that everybody agrees were justified - always take time off to emotionally process their experience, go to therapy, process it. Sending somebody right back out says "this is an everyday part of your job, expect it."

I know shit is all insane and everything is on fire but if all things go well, four astronauts will go to the moon in a few weeks. This mission will include many firsts: the first non-American astronaut, the first female astronaut, and the first person of color to travel to the moon.

Implying that a man had it coming because he lawfully brought a handgun to a peaceful protest is a profound moral failure. Constitutional rights do not cancel each other out, and exercising them does not justify state violence.

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue. Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

dear god. that's serious holocaust shit

Very curious what "actions & consequences" Bovino has in mind for citizens who are exercising their First Amendment rights.

How one year of ‘America First’ left workers behind - some telling charts here in piece by @tejparikh.ft.com on how Trump's rhetoric has not matched reality. Other charts show weaking factory construction, the tariff impact on prices, and falling worker share of GDP www.ft.com/content/1afa...

Lutnick: Trump is “rebuilding domestic manufacturing” Financial Times: “There are 68,000 fewer manufacturing jobs now than before Trump’s second term began. Total employment in manual sectors including manufacturing, construction, transportation, logging and utilities has shrunk.”

"Somali Minnesotans, Chinese Minnesotans, Swedish Minnesotans, and many others did what we do when people we care about are suffering. We showed up and brought food."

It's painful to see the US flag removed from @WHO Geneva HQ. On June 14, 1948 Truman signed a law requiring payment of dues before exiting. Since then, every president understood WHO's value. Until Now. Trump has unilaterally violated US & int'l law. healthpolicy-watch.news/stars-and-st...
