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...

fuck yes

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

As Donald Trump assembles a massive U.S. military force ready to strike Iran, the American media keeps ignoring essential context: Israel has been trying to provoke a U.S. war on Iran for decades. mondoweiss.net/2026/02/neta... #Palestine #Israel

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Direct Action gets the goods!

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own hands—and tearing them down.

The Philly District Attorney compared ICE to Nazis & publicly vowed to hunt them down if they broke the law/harmed their people. If a DA rules against an ICE agent, that ruling stands IN SPITE OF the supremacy clause. Where is DA Vasquez in the conversation? Where is the pressure on his office?

This is a really embarrassing mistake for the @nytimes.com to make. I expect it from random blogs and entertainment reporters or whatever, but... the Times has staff who know better.

The husband of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer — who herself is under investigation for an affair she had with a subordinate, and also instituted a monthly prayer service at the department — has been banned from HQ after two female employees reported he sexually assaulted them.

"...a group of progressive lawmakers and organizations are trying to claw back roughly $311 million of the deficit by amending the state tax code to eliminate three tax breaks included in H.R. 1." I spoke with the @portlandmercury.com about SB 1507. #orleg #orpol

Moral panic around e-bikes is getting out of control. The assemblywoman proposing this bill is quoted in the article saying she has concerns abt people riding "30,40, even 60 mph" -- those are not e-bikes! Those are e-motos! www.cbs8.com/article/news...

Gaza death toll in early part of war far higher than reported, says Lancet study. There are no excuses. It was obvious at the time that Israel was engaged in the mass slaughter of civilians. The guilty men and women will pay the price.

Mamdani’s been in office for 2 months and ppl r like “why hasnt he abolished the police to build libraries??” He’s dealing w/ a massive budget deficit, still has to work w/ a city council and 1 of the most corrupt/powerful police unions in the country Hold him accountable but also let him cook??

The Ash Wednesday procession through the Chicago suburb of Melrose Park from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church - honoring immigrants, immigration detainees and those killed by ICE & Border Patrol - has begun. Chicago Archbishop and Cardinal Blase Cupich is near the head of the march.

BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days. Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work. Details on thehandbasket.co later today!

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

It is impossible to get your driver's license permanently revoked in Oregon. "Court records show that Hankins has faced several driving-related criminal charges in the past decade. He was convicted of unauthorized use of a vehicle in 2024 and 2023, and has been convicted at least twice"

🚨March on Vasquez & Wilson🚨 Demand the Mayor and DA enforce the law to protect Portlanders against fascist thuggery. Labor says: ICE OUT! 🗓️ Feb. 20, 12 PM, MultCo Courthouse (SW Madison & 1st)

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

Are you angry about SB 1586, the massive land giveaway to data centers and big business? The good news is that constituents are too. Sen. Sollman (D-Hillsboro), the sponsor of the bill, has drawn a strong primary challenger: Myrna Muñoz, Rep. Lesly Muñoz's sister. tinyurl.com/37tn4eup

ICE/CBP have gone unfunded for 3 days; how about 3 years? The best way to claw back the $170 billion immigration enforcement surge in the Big Beautiful Bill is to just claw it back. The 2nd-best way is to slowly drain it by never funding the underlying appropriation. @ryanlcooper.com makes the case:

BREAKING NEWS: We just submitted a court filing challenging excessive use of force by federal agents at Portland ICE facility. #orpol

ACTION ALERT: As Chair of the Senate Committee on Housing and Development, I need your help to restore $10 million in eviction prevention funding. Learn more and email your legislators here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/restore-10-million-for-eviction-prevention/

Hope that Democrats aren't relying on the enthusiasm of their base to win in November www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Funny to post this while multiple Israeli officials are wearing yellow noose pins as part of their call for further state violence against Palestinians.

Fortunately, Sollman is being challenged by a progressive oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/educa...

Adam’s right. It’s more important than ever that our institutions defend First Amendment rights, and that means not firing teachers illegally whether their offense was “Go ICE” or saying something less than hagiographical about Charlie Kirk. Fewer people want to hear that in ugly times. /1

Back before the US went full nazi, civil rights groups showed the data to cops on high speed chases: * You kill a lot of suspect passengers, including kids * You kill a lot of innocent bystanders * You pay out a lot in wrongful death settlements * You can catch most of these people later anyway🤷🏿‍♂️

It’s so wild that there was an attempted coup and the Democrats are so “incompetent” that they couldn’t jail the guy responsible even though they were in possession of troves of documents showing he’s a pedo. The main outcome of this was a wave of WE LOVE COPS propaganda & Dems abandoning BLM.

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money. And if they can talk you into believing anyone else is to blame, they will keep picking your pockets and purchasing themselves politicians and getting away with it.

The newly released Epstein files show a former Israeli PM asking a convicted sex criminal for help brokering a Trump media interview, and plotting to bring a million Russians to Israel to dilute the Palestinian population. MSM keeps leaving the Israel part out. mondoweiss.net/2026/02/newl...

‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

A group of Twin Cities restaurant workers are asking the state's hospitality business association to step up protections for workers amid the federal immigration operation. They say some employers aren't doing enough to support their immigrant staff.

This isn't supposed to happen to the fascisti. They're supposed to be the bullies doling out violence with impunity while their opponents cry impotently about the rules. Here's one of the untermenschen — a chubby, nerd cleaning an aspiring Edge Lord's clock. We will win. @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social
