The Trump administration has quietly purchased a nearly 520,000-square-foot warehouse in Berks County as it plans to convert such facilities into immigration detention centers across the U.S.

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Presented without comment. I just want everyone here to know. I want you to know what you're looking at the next time you see this guy being interviewed or RTed by an Abundance bro. 1/8

This is absolutely insane: DHS claims the right to subpoena your emails and to send investigators to your house. In this case, because a retiree sent the mildest possible criticism to a prosecutor. No judges involved. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

We will forever regret not doing something about PFAS.

ICE lists 225 locations on its facility list. This is more than double the number of ICE detention centers operating at this time last year.

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.

“It’s just weird to see a toddler in a pink onesie getting their eyes washed out from tear gas, you know?”

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

With the complicity of spineless Democrats, the fascists in the federal government are trying to rebrand ICE as a kinder, gentler Gestapo. Body cams will make no one safer. The mercenary who murdered Renee Good was filming when he shot her. crimethinc.com/bodycams No concessions! ABOLISH ICE! 🏴

The ICE surge in Minnesota has meant dogs losing homes. If you can foster Murphy, get in touch at the email listed.

Krasner is calling them out: “John Fetterman is ... the favorite Democratic senator of Donald Trump,” And that’s because John Fetterman has completely sold out the principles on which he ran for office.” www.huffpost.com/entry/larry-...

Gov. Josh Shapiro called District Attorney Larry Krasner's comparison of ICE agents to Nazis "abhorrent." Krasner responded that Shapiro is "not meeting the moment."

People targeted by federal agents - for their skin color, accents, or immigration status - are afraid to seek healthcare; healthcare staff are fearful for their safety at work. Here's how Minnesota providers are responding to an unfolding crisis - my latest:

Vice President "work experience was wingnut welfare conservative sinecures working for twisted billionaire oligarchs like Peter Thiel among many other topics the political press would normally make a huge deal of but ignored for Trump in 2024 is how comically unqualified and unprepared JD Vance is"

I don’t think I can say this forcefully enough: hundreds of thousands of Haitians will lose status tomorrow with racist ending of their TPS & are spending today refreshing their feeds for a court order that could literally save thier lives. This is nothing short of psychosocial torture.

ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker (R-PA-11) sues his hometown paper (my employer, LNP | LancasterOnline) for defamation, arguing an editorial that described his + other GOPers' arguments last fall that Dems wanted to fund health care for illegal immigrants were a "lie." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Biometric locks for phones aren’t just convenient for you, they are convenient for the cops. “explicitly authorized law enforcement personnel to obtain Natanson’s phone and both hold the device in front of her face and to forcibly use her fingers to unlock it” theintercept.com/2026/01/30/w...

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

So much tragedy has already hit these particular immigrants. And thr US played a tremendous role in how Haiti became the country we know today.

Trump's immigration human-rights nightmare isn't pulling back. It's about to get much worse A planned op this week in Springfield, Ohio targeting hard-working Haitians who came here the right way is nothing less than an ethnic cleansing on U.S. soil My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Good news: A federal judge just ruled the Forest Service’s “logging loophole” unlawful, restoring required environmental review for large logging projects in Oregon. Reality: It can’t undo three decades of old-growth loss already written into the landscape.

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

New from @pabloreports.bsky.social: "A massive Navy contract vehicle, once valued at $10 billion, has ballooned to a staggering $55 billion ceiling to expedite President Donald Trump’s 'mass deportation' agenda."

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

"the important thing isn't for them to win, but for us to lose" This is why you can't compromise with fascists Fascists try to fill an internal void by subjugating others. They need to rob you of joy to feel okay. The more they rob, the crueler & pettier they get That's what they do with power

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

I took a close look at the latest Department of Homeland Security AI use case inventory, which details over 200 applications across DHS component agencies, including CBP and ICE. DHS is rapidly deploying these tools in US cities, while increasingly engaging in violence and defying court orders.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards

Let's do this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

Remember: “They’re eating your pets.” ~ Donald Trump Now, Springfield, Ohio is bracing for an ICE surge targeting an estimated 12K - to 15K Haitian immigrants. Don’t expect much pushback from Governor DeWine.

In an interview with MPR News, Liam's mother gave an update on her son and her own safety. She said Liam asks again and again, “Mommy, why don’t you pick us up?” Or “Mommy, we don’t want to be here anymore. This place is ugly.”

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

After brutally arresting Aliya Rahman, an autistic, disabled woman, in Minneapolis, ICE agents told her that "this wouldn’t have happened if I was a ‘normal’ human being." https://bit.ly/3ZHX3IC

Kennedy has stacked another HHS panel with his fellow travelers in the anti-vaccine and pseudoscience world.
