"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

Gas prices here in CZ, always relatively expensive, have gone up ~30% over the last month. Normal unleaded is now 41 CZK/liter in Strakonice (south Bohemia)...which is over $7/gallon. Diesel is even more. We're having a blast and we're loving it.

Four-byline alert: 🚨 “.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter.” www.ft.com/content/744e...

It takes SIXTEEN paragraphs for the New York Times to mention why the administration wanted to destroy nearly $10 million in contraception: It's because they claim the stockpile of IUDs, birth control pills, and hormonal implants are “abortifacient birth control.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/w...

"As Rooks explains in her book White Money/Black Power, early investment in Black studies favored programs over departments: curricular arrangements rather than independent units with their own hiring authority, degree-granting capacity, and governance structures.

If you’re expecting a pitching stats book… This isn’t it. This is the story of how pitching became so dominant today. The people. The technology behind it. Told by the ones who built it--and the pitchers who rely on it. And why today’s training looks nothing like it used to.

Really like this story from @404media.co & @jasonkoebler.bsky.social on the unmapped enclave (it is an enclave) of North Oaks, MN. I worked at the golf club there for a couple of years, my stepdad was the exec chef at the club, and I went to college w/ a bunch of North Oaks kids.

Some tips on how to make your protest more efficient from me, the guy who is diametrically opposed to your specific cause as well as protesting in general.

Viktor Orban wants Hungarians to re-elect him, even though he has turned Hungary into the most corrupt and one of the poorest countries in the EU. To do so, he is telling Hungarians to fear sabotage, thievery, or even a military attack from … Ukraine www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE. Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009. A quick thread:

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody. This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration. This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

Tomorrow we’re taking up Pause Evictions Save Lives, a policy that will temporarily extend pre-eviction notice from 30 to 60 days until August 31st. This will give residents more time to get resources and support so that families can stay together and we can keep people in their homes.

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight. This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

🧵 (1) SIX ICE DEATHS IN TEXAS IN SIX WEEKS; 3 at a Fort Bliss camp holding +3K immigrants. A homicide involving staff. That’s after the deadliest year in ICE detention in decades as Trump seeks to expand it. Lawyers call it an ‘unfolding humanitarian crisis.’ www.texastribune.org/2026/02/19/i...

New terms would give the US military carte blanche to use services for mass surveillance and lethal autonomous weapons, AI that has full power to track and kill targets with no humans involved in the decision-making process. The negotiations have turned ugly. buff.ly/4EbihrQ

One of the kind of fucked up parts of the ICE occupation here is that a lot of folks want to believe it’s over, and the media seems to tell us it’s over, but folks on the ground are still seeing tons of activity and vulnerable people are still (rightfully) terrified to go outside. We can’t stop yet.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

How to Channel Your Road Rage Into Cold, Calculating Road Revenge

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

I saw Eric Church this weekend but I had other things on my mind.

I’m excited to announce that my colleagues and I are proposing a $5 million program meant to support small businesses impacted by “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis. 1/

ICE has been tracking the names of protesters in an internal database for several months, according to two US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operations reut.rs/46wwn1j

IOC has reviewed request by UA Olympian Heraskevych to wear helmet with photos of UA athletes killed by Russia. IOC has permitted to wear it during training; citing rules that prioritize focusing on games, Committee will make an exception and allow him to wear a black armband during competition.

I can’t emphasize enough that you should talk to students about this. You’ll both learn why this kind of ad is effective (through the generally low skepticism of ads younger folks express) but also you get to watch the light go off as they realize what the downside is. It’s really interesting.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

we’re up over $4,000, so let’s hit that $4,785 total and meet this family’s need today!!! just a lil over $500 to go💗 V: @em-cassel PP: @biketrouble

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

For all their prestige, the Olympics tend to be a hotbed for scandals. With sports betting more accessible than ever, is a gambling controversy inevitable? I dove into how the IOC and other entities try to avoid betting scams. Will it be enough? For @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/sports...

The billionaire class wants to decimate the white collar workforce. Because white collar workers are expensive. And because white collar workers—who historically sided with billionaires—are questioning that alliance. Which makes their knowledge and resources a huge threat to billionaire power.

Jacob Frey: "The continued presence of 2,000 federal agents in a city that only has 600 police officers is still not deescalation"

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.
