Fox 9 MN reporter Paul Blume: "SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, 'The system sucks, this job sucks' to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep"

In response to President Donald Trump’s public announcement of a planned two-year shutdown of the Kennedy Center, Kennedy Center Arts Workers United — including Equity, AFM, AGMA, IATSE, and SDC — issued the following joint statement: iatse.net/kennedy-cent...

Every time we drove over the Roosevelt Bridge, one of my parents would refer to the white marble of #KenCen, “a gift from the Italian people.” Trump today, “we’ll use the steel. we’ll use some of the marble.” Who has standing to sue? Do I? 🎁 free article wapo.st/4tfDOUp

DHS and ICE quietly purchased a massive Berks County warehouse for $87.4M. The facility has been identified as a possible ICE detention center—just two years after the county closed its family detention center. whyy.org/articles/ber...

A record number of people are in immigration jail AND most of these detentions are probably illegal. I think a good demand is to end immigration jail. If there is nowhere to jail people, they will be forced to arrest fewer people. This scheme is working bc of warehouses full of humans.

Buried lede: he realizes that it is absolutely impossible to achieve mass deportation if that process is required, which it constitutionally is.

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

"Many in the United States have probably felt that dissonance: at school bake sales in the shadow of ICE raids, in naturalization interviews in Lower Manhattan next door to ICE’s New York headquarters."

Some excellent lessons here for right here, right now jacobin.com/2026/02/arge...

A newborn in Minneapolis hadn’t eaten for a day and a half. ICE agents took her mother when she went to work, trying to make money for diapers. Her 16-year-old and Bri, a local mother of two, saved that baby's life. @chabeli.bsky.social tells their story

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home. Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

To be extremely clear: There is no relationship between crime and public safety and Trump’s paramilitary troops except that that they themselves are committing crimes and severely impairing public safety.

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year: “As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

Just a beautiful, thoughtful, courageous human in every way. Note especially that at the close of the interview she brings the focus back to the *immigrants* who have been targeted, killed, kidnapped, abandoned, orphaned and forsaken. Gratitude and respect for Stella Carson.

WOW WOW WOW Mayor Mamdani names Stanley Richards as the new head of Dept of Corrections. Richards is the first formerly incarcerated person to lead the city’s jails. Richards is currently the president/CEO of the Fortune Society, a leading nonprofit that assists incarcerated/ formerly incarcerated

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

This may be more wishes and manifesting than police doing the right thing but…

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis. If not, why not?

real question is which prominent trump administration figures *aren't* in the epstein files?

At a confab of European leaders last week in Brussels after Trump’s Davos speech on Greenland, the right-wing pro-Trump prime minister of Slovakia told them that Trump had seemed “out of his mind” and “dangerous” during the one-on-one meeting he’d just with him at Mar-a-Lago.
