41 years old, evacuated here legally, asylum case pending, kidnapped while driving his six children (one a US citizen) to school. Dead within 24 hours. Betrayed and murdered by the United States government. 42nd confirmed and reported death in ICE custody under Trump.

The oldest trick in power’s playbook: make the poor fear the poorer. While you’re watching the bottom, the top is walking out the door with everything.

A story in two farcical acts. Would be nice to have a President who has reached the stage where he has object permanence.

AIPAC sure got their money’s worth from these 4 Dems today

14 cases, that are known. DHS refuses to respond to inquiries. “In response to the outbreak, the facility has been closed to visitors and legal advisers and isn’t expected to reopen until March 19”

so far i think in the last 48 hours trump has called - michael scherer at the atlantic - jonathan karl, abc - jake tapper, cnn - axios - bret baier, fox news - the new york times - the washington post just noting that when he wants to sell a war, suddenly theyre not "fake news" anymore

Rep. Al Green held a sign as Trump walked by him in the chamber reading "Black people aren't apes." He was just removed from the chamber.

$1.5T military budget $170B on ICE & Border Patrol $100B on tax cuts for the 1% $20B from Treasury for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $500M sending National Guard into cities $250M on Kristi Noem's jets $100M+ on Trump's golf outings $75k for Kash Patel's Olympic trip Priorities.

The crazy thing is... you can still get rich in Norway.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

My law firm is now litigating 85 voting and election cases in 40 states. This is the largest number of cases in the most states we have ever handled at one time. And, while Big Law firms mostly sit idly by, the need to protect elections in court is only growing.

GOP officials are making it seem like working immigration in the US is now as dangerous as being a narcotics investigator in the heart of Mexican cartel-land. Do not be fooled. Every piece of data we have actually shows that to be false. The reality: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

Ed Luce: Why MAGA hates London because it prospers because it is an immigrant city — is a provocation to the MAGA movement on both sides of the Atlantic. London serves as the most visible symbol of a Europe that Trump’s national security strategy claims is facing “civilisational erasure”.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record. And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once. The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

"I think that the goal of Tom Homan switching out for Gregory Bovino is purely optics and damage control. It's not actually a change in their tactics of intimidation and indiscriminate apprehension,” said Minneapolis City Council President Elliott Payne.

let's not forget our friends in minneapolis. they're still occupied. time for another round of calls to our reps. free minnesota!

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

My post on that. emptywheel.net/the-minnesot...

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

Good Wednesday Morning 😊 Let's make #ChadMichaelWatts getting his ass handed to him by a group of teenagers famous 🥳 If this wasn't a classic example of #FAFO I don't know what is....or maybe "Don't want something, don't start something." #SheShed bsky.app/profile/your...

I’ve been thinking more about this nonsense and what it means. I don’t think it’s a flex — a performative expression of power and intimidation — like the advertisements for ICE positions. Too obscure and lacking in flair. Instead I think it likely reflects real internal problems. /1

Is it a requirement, that if you're a male* billionaire, that you rape children? The best solution seems to be ending billionaires. * I'm not aware of Oprah, Melinda French Gates (she left Bill over Epstein), or MacKenzie Scott doing anything like this, but they shouldn't be billionaires either.

Tarrant County is the largest red county in the nation. I cannot emphasize enough how big this is. Rehmet winning this race against Wambsganss would be an earthquake of Biblical proportions.

A Democratic governor helping a Republican state, imagine that 🙏🏽

The operation in Washington, D.C. alone is projected to cost upwards of $660 million if it runs through the end of this year as expected, according to new data released by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. n.pr/45FbxN0

Congressional Budget Office: “Federal troop deployments to US cities cost a total of $496 million in 2025, CBO estimates. Continuing current deployments will cost $93 million a month; 1,000 Guard personnel deployed to a city will cost at least $18 million a month.” www.cbo.gov/publication/...

A sign at California's Muir Woods National Monument explaining that redwoods soak up planet-warming greenhouse gases has been removed by the Trump administration. One of many ways the National Park Service is now silencing science and history: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/c...

A message to the media: stop calling it a "healthcare crisis." Call it the "Republican healthcare crisis." Stop calling it an "immigration debate." Call it "Republican terror and violence." Be accurate. #FundHealthcareStopICE

US justice department slashes funding to programs combating child sex trafficking.

We have reached the point where any statement made by a Trump administration official must be assumed to be a lie until proven otherwise.

Amazon spent $40m to acquire this documentary (the next largest is, I think, Disney’s $12-15m for SUMMER OF SOUL) and is spending another $35m to market it.

The NRA spoke out. Honestly didn’t expect that.

Family of Alex Pretti, who was shot dead in Minneapolis today, releases statement: "The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs."

Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION. Absolutely not. ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

Children! Absolutely disgraceful. This is what happens when Donald Trump’s government pays bounties for people. Doesn’t matter if they’re legal. Doesn’t matter who they are. Doesn’t matter if they’re five-years-old. How can anyone justify this any more? www.startribune.com/preschooler-...

The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office. Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today. How are you doing?

I think about this a lot: the fact that it's "inconceivable" is a HUGE part of the problem. Hey folks: conceive of it. That's the necessary first step. This fascism is in fact happening, and the whole "I can't imagine" part is stopping a lot of progress in overcoming it.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

If you ever wondered how a mad king would behave in the Oval Office, you no longer have to wonder.
