No Kings Day is a nationwide day of protest against President Donald Trump. Here's what to know

The crowd is growing here in St. Paul Minnesota at the State Capitol. There are about 40k people here right now with multiple marches still coming. The temperature has warmed up to a balmy 39 degrees, the sun is out and everybody is having a great time. ❤️#NoKings

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

In this lawsuit there's a transcript of an infuriating exchange between the lead plaintiff and an immigration judge assigned to the Somali docket. She explains why the schedule is a travesty and laughs at the absurdity, which the IJ takes poorly, leading to a testy exchange. I'm fully on her side.

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

counted 25 ICE officers (most with ERO vests) during my 26-minute wait in the LGA Terminal C Touchless line this morning. every one of them was either standing doing nothing or slowly walking the length of the line doing nothing. at least four were in masks.

Dreams DO come true: my photo of the ICE teens spread so far divorced of context or credit that Snopes dot com had to write a whole story confirming that I didn't make it with AI. 🥲

U.S. allies haven’t forgotten about Trump’s tariffs, his threats against NATO, and his curtailing of aid to Ukraine—so he shouldn’t be surprised that they’re unwilling to help him in Iran, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues.

The members of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts are supporters of the Republican president and were appointed by him this year.

It's been three years since I came home from the hospital after an infection that started in my mouth spread to my brain and almost killed me. I was in ICU under heavy sedation and on a vent for 6 weeks. This poor man was forced to suffer. Infections of the mouth and teeth are serious.

After a "heartbreaking" visit with Julia Benitez, the 79-year-old asylum seeker known as "la abuela" among Eloy detainees, U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-AZ, said Wednesday she will advocate for Benitez's release from ICE detention on humanitarian grounds. tucson.com/news/local/b...

The cruelty is the point. The elderly, the sick and inform, the children, the marginalized people who pose no actual threats to society, the women.... They will always get the short, cruelest deal and then be proselytized to that they should do better.

So many ridiculous ironies in this story. A widow of a Cuban dissident, threatened with deportation at the precise time the U.S. is making life in Cuba intolerable with an eye to regime change. Not a flight risk. Textbook case for humanitarian release.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

A judge has blocked the Trump admin’s attempts to block Members of Congress from making unannounced inspection visits to ICE detention facilities AGAIN. It is our duty to conduct oversight — and we will not let Trump and his lawless DHS stand in the way of that. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...
