Nuremberg Trials.

We cannot allow these warehouse concentration camps to happen. It's going to take efforts from everyone at the local level from architects, urban planners, fire marshals, lawyers, activists, and local electeds. We must actively resist and do everything we can within the law to stop this monstrosity.

Minnesota still needs your attention

Habeas cases filed by immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have taken off to levels we have never seen before. Just look at that chart. www.propublica.org/article/habe...

To my knowledge, moving prisoners around the country in an attempt to avoid habeas corpus review has been banned since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. Habeas corpus is, of course, protected in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/fe...

OPB has been the gold standard of journalism in this state for so many years, it's incredibly disheartening to hear what's been happening behind the scenes, especially from someone whose work I respect enormously!

Thank you for showing and reading from these letters. We must get to every tendril of the crimes against humanity underway by this regime. ICE out of everywhere is a floor. Perpetrators of these crimes must be put on trial. Close all the camps. Bring people home.

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

It’s the phones, folks. Blocking mobile internet — not your phone — for JUST 2 weeks and people showed sharper attention (~10 YEARS’ WORTH!) and mental health gains comparable to antidepressants. Same life. Less internet. Happier humans. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Had no idea about this field recording show on WFMU, super cool! Thanks @mattbormet.com www.wfmu.org/playlists/OU

Oof. This is so heartbreaking

6/ “When I arrived every night I cried and now I don’t sleep well, I felt that being here was my fault and I only wanted to be on vacation like a normal family.” 9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra Montoya, detained on her way to Disney World, spent 113+ days at Dilley.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

After a certain point the sanity of Palantir's leadership does matter to the national security of the UK and other European states buying its software

"the data tells us what is valuable and where to focus" is killing half of the journalism industry

in america these are increasingly interchangeable

it's always a little funny when a massive world-historic tragedy winds up being a huge win for exactly one intended victim

people are so fucking pissed

Last month the Japanese American National Museum asked me to deliver a keynote speech on what is necessary to combat authoritarianism and preserve democracy. You can listen to it and the Q&A that followed here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

New MUPPET SHOW is great, watch new MUPPET SHOW so they will make more new MUPPET SHOW.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Spiking the Kamala Harris endorsement can be rationalized as something that was done on the opinion side of the newspaper so less dire, but management spiking a news story means the outlet is official dead.

I live in Minnesota and I care about mental health. Here's what's happening now because of ICE: - Lots of people who never struggled with depression and anxiety disorders are now. - People already dealing with severe mental illness are at much higher risk of suicide or disappearing from care.

I can't bear the footage of half a dozen armed, masked, agents of the state pushing around a man holding on to his two-year-old baby girl the horror is just endless

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

Rep. Kelly Morrison describes 'horrifying' conditions inside Whipple building www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer. Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

We can have government of, by and for the people, with leaders who respect and protect us.

A must-watch for her first-hand account of what's going on inside the Whipple building, her bravery and testimony deserves hearing.

That thing we are seeing in Minneapolis that we haven't seen in a long time and need a helluva lot more of is solidarity.

EVERY child deserves to be free.

Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano, 11 years old. In dreadful ICE detention for nearly a month.

the end result of AI image, video, and audio generation is that society will no longer be able to rely on images or video or audio to represent reality. Children born today will never be able to assume that just because they have seen something on a screen that it is likely to be true.

Even the headline here is a capitulation. Why use the softer framing when he literally said, verbatim, "we should take over the voting"?

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.

Bellingcat founder @eliothiggins.bsky.social and Cornell University’s @cward1e.bsky.social unpack how disinformation evolved, why trust in institutions is collapsing, and what tools we all need to stay sharp in a world of misinformation.

Liam, 5, has been freed, but four other students from his school district remain detained in Texas. Two boys from his elementary school were taken Thurs “This isn’t something we are prepared or trained for. We’ve dedicated our lives to protecting + educating children,” school superintendent told me

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

I've been a critic of NYT for two decades--sometimes as a job--but I don't have monolithic view. There are great reporters working there. Headline writers, not so much. This is actively misleading. By framing it as a question it takes a side, asserting that he wants to w/out plausible evidence.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

We need a better way to get the 3800+ kids out of ICE detention than this. We know Liam’s name and we can advocate on his behalf, but that isn’t true of almost any of the other people stuck in detention centers. We have to stop ICE on a systemic level.

“Children were in the crowd screaming.”

America has now reached the stage of greatness where our very pro-family administration is tear gassing little children who were at a peaceful, daytime protest against that government’s mass round ups and deportations of little children.
