Below is our story about the skyrocketing number of kids detained by ICE. We cover the facility where Liam is now being held-- parents said food had worms and mold, and kids were so distressed they hit themselves in the face and wet themselves. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/12/17/c...

The Minnesotans defending themselves & their neighbors from ICE are asking for our support this Friday. The local Pittsburgh action is at 2:00pm in East Liberty. Let's pressure Target to stop collaborating with ICE! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Dear reps who say “We’re the minority party. What can we do?” In the early days of Congress, there were fist fights. Men whacked each other with walking sticks, brandished pistols, and challenged the opposition to duels. Do some of that, you useless fucks.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

"School district officials in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, say their sense of security is shaken and their hearts shattered after four students from the district have recently been taken by officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

The world learned today that you absolutely have to bully this dumb old asshole as a collective. Better late than never for them, but we better get used to being aggressively humiliated for the next few years.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'

I just introduced an amendment to hold Pam Bondi in civil contempt of Congress. Since August, she has been legally compelled by our bipartisan subpoena to release the full Epstein files. Without the files, we can't have a serious investigation. It's time she answer for her role in this cover up.

I came to Congress to do the job: to work for people and protect them. Now I’m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think I’ll back down, they are wrong. Read more:

The Republicans made your health insurance premiums skyrocket to pay for this. Every contractor-run prison bed comes at the expense of a child getting vaccinations against measles, mumps, rubella and whooping cough. EVERY REPUBLICAN SHOULD HOLD A BABY DYING OF PERTUSSIS BECAUSE OF THEIR VOTE.

i wrote down the addresses that had 47 shit up in Nov. 2024 (i also noted who had Harris &/or Pride flags so i knew who the good guys were), & 100% of the fascists have taken theirs down. Also there’s only 1 yard left on my commute w/trump signs, & there were 15+ in august.

It's always been abolish ICE. For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency. I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

I hate the implication that everything the admin does is just distractions from Epstein It's much more than that. Destroying NATO is very much part of their plan. It's far from just a foolish distraction and should be taken with the most severity

some things never fucking change

Supervisor said if they're on the sidewalk then they're allowed to be there. PD is not responding.

According to government documents, ICE abruptly ended its healthcare contract which left “no mechanism to provide prescribed medication” and no way to “pay for medically necessary off-site care." There have been at least “85 credible reports of medical neglect." trib.al/07dC8yA

The Founders (rightly) thought financial corruption was so concerning they banned it in the Constitution three separate times: the two emoluments clauses, and the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Starting in 2017, America decided it just kinda didn't matter anymore, whatcha gonna do.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Thanks to Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, millions of adults aged 55 to 64 may now be locked out of SNAP if they’re not able to work. And in a one-two punch, the USDA has terminated its annual food insecurity survey, making it impossible to know just how devastating Trump’s cuts will be.

When a major city loses its daily paper, the challenges facing the news industry become even more clear. Luckily, Pittsburgh still has a large network of journalists contributing to a diverse and deep media ecosystem.

Oh dear CBS has FOIA'd the full text exchange between Trump and the Norwegian PM

From the article: “In 1947 America, when the labor share stood at 70 percent, more than one-third of the workforce was unionized, and taxes on the highest incomes routinely exceeded 70 percent.” prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

Happy MLK day, gang! Martin was a Democratic Socialist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, thought white moderates were the bane of Black existence, and died on a trip to support a sanitation workers' strike! Beware his sanitized and sanded-down edit!

i once read "the rights you think criminals should have are the rights you think everyone should have because the state can criminalize anyone" and it changed how i think about everything

"90% of the kids who've died weren't vaxed"

It's a shame more white men over 35 aren't yelling at them then. Get to work.

So this is false, protestors are out here peacefully exercising their 1st Amendment rights to yell at Trump’s thugs. Police rolled by and informed them they were well within their rights. Fuck ICE.

Someone posted down below. Apparently, the cops drove by, saw protesters, told the protesters they were within their rights and left.

Not enough money to lower your health care, food, or housing costs, but enough money for this?

ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home

One of the foundational problems of our era is that we have broadly—in news media, in voter perceptions, in public discourse, etc—decided that Republicans have zero responsibility to the public, zero responsibility for their choices, & no agency as elected officials. Its destroying us.

next reporter who interviews stephen miller should ask him point blank if his goal in minneapolis is to kill more americans

I think it’s fair to say that under any previous president a White House staffer who spoke about a NATO ally like this would have been hog tied and throw bodily out over the White House fence in propitiation of the ravening congressional committees marching down Pennsylvania Ave to investigate.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Someone please explain to me how the U.S. can credibly host the World Cup when the country is demonstrating that simply “looking like” a non-citizen, or being present around ICE enforcement, regardless of race or citizenship, can get you detained, hurt, or killed

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Already this week, at least five federal prosecutors in Minnesota announced their resignations. Among them was the office’s second-in-command, Joseph Thompson, who was overseeing the fraud investigation involving Somali immigrants that Trump used as a pretext to send in his immigration forces.

Sir, As someone who lives in Alabama, are you high? In the rural town I grew up in up in, they closed the local hospital years ago and the closest medical facility is in FLORIDA

I live in the wealthiest county in Alabama, and the hospital my 13 year old was born in no longer has maternity services. Shelby county now has NO hospitals that deliver babies. Red state policies are a failure.
