Our story @chicagotribune.com: Chicago teen Ofelia Torres, whose father was detained by ICE while she fought cancer, dies. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/14/c...

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 15: Neighborhood watch. Why do Black people get so sensitive when you ask them if they live in this building, or if they live in this neighborhood? And unrelated, why does the US really have so many guns? What are they for? Read this entire thread.

This 10 year old boy was chased down by ICE in South Jersey. I am beyond outraged, both as an American and as a father to two boys. Our system is broken. The first step to fix it is for ICE to leave our state.

@discord.com is working to broaden Peter Thiel's electronic panopticon. @gamersnexus.bsky.social has a great breakdown. youtu.be/qhxsE8dvbs4?...

Gift link! NYT: Sick Detainees Describe Poor Care at Facilities Run by ICE Contractor By Katie Thomas, Jessica Silver-Greenberg and Melena Ryzik Problems at detention centers operated by CoreCivic extend far beyond recent measles outbreaks. @bykatiethomas.bsky.social @jsgatnyt.bsky.social

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Nuremberg Trials.

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Prepare to spin the drum.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

You get the Friday 13th that you deserve.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Focus on the enablers.

When the dog succeeds in catching the car and not only does he not know what to do next but he notices that he was also somehow the one driving the car: the Epstein files

There's a 1 to 1 correlation between the probability of something being a con and the amount of money riding on it.

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

Habeas petitions have skyrocketed in the past few months as more people are in detention than ever and detainees arent being given bond hearings. At the MN-USAO, it’s made caseloads explode: www.wired.com/story/ice-cr...

this thread is harrowing but these lawyers are fucking heroic

having your city noticed by the president is now a natural disaster on par with a hurricane or major flood

I’m never going to talk about my lawsuit ever again, so if you want the gossip, here’s your chance: @adriandaub.bsky.social and I talked about the Epstein files as a document of Me Too backlash on @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

ICYMI: We @propublica.org set up a tracker for immigration-related habeas cases, which means it tracks the number of suits filed by immigrants claiming they are detained illegally. The number has hit historic highs. We'll update it regularly with new data. projects.propublica.org/habeas-track...

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

STOP SAYING VOTE HARDER. DO SOMETHING!!!

How many Liam's are out there? And somewhere out there our "representatives" are debating how much we should fund this machine.

This is Smartwashing AI. Many know that the econ & political conditions that enable the tech industry to infiltrate every sector of public & private life are unsustainable & dangerous. But bc resistance is cast as emotional or archaic a cottage industry of wishful thinking from the left has emerged.

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

in conclusion, statehood for dc and pr

Never thought this piece from 2017 would apply to the Super Bowl halftime show but here is some FURTHER READING

This is superb. (Garrett Graff.)

There's something missing with this national anthem... hmmm what is it? TUBA!!! We need a tuba!

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...

This explains what I was seeing when I visited SF. I was wondering how they programmed the car to drive so agressively, literally cutting its way into the front of a turn lane.

centuries pass and still it sings. what a gift it is, how time flattens under the weight of a practiced voice. how irreplaceable

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

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.

As a doctor, I am horrified by what I saw at the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis. No medical protocols. No real medical care. No nurse on site when I visited. No beds. No real blankets. Extremely cold temperatures. Minimal food. These conditions are inhumane and unacceptable.

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.

Reading the Epstein documents and absorbing the enormity of the corruption is like gazing into the abyss. This abyss constitutes our politics, international finance, and how the very powerful are shaping the world to work for them. I don't know what the remedy is but it needs to be radical.

The FBI Fulton County raid came as no surprise. What was surprising was who led the initiative: U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Thomas Albus. And there is all the reason to believe the federal prosecutor will use his power to interfere with the upcoming elections.

This is a mask *very* specifically associated with Atomwaffen and Nazi Terrorgram (as OP notes downthread)

Luke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

Children screaming and crying can be heard as a possible uprising is underway at the ICE Children's Concentration Camp in Dilley, TX (1/24/26).

A measles outbreak at an ICE family detention center means not only risk of serious and very infectious disease, but also complete lockdown conditions akin to solitary confinement. Awful.
