Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

Disabled people deserve safety. Caregivers must be considered a critical part of our survival and never ripped away unnecessarily. We often have no contingency plan. No one comes to save us. Protect caregivers at all costs and help us advocate for better social supports.

Unlike, say, data analytics giant Palantir or some other high-profile surveillance companies, Ring is a surveillance network that homeowners have by and large deployed themselves, powered by fear mongering against our neighbors and unfettered consumerism.

For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now. www.themountaineer.com/news/no-cryp...

Amazon made a choice to partner with Flock and feed data to ICE. They chose to allow their popular ring cameras to spy on people’s neighbours for the purpose of sending them to camps. The damage is done. Don’t buy a Ring camera and don’t support Amazon. www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/02/...

You need to understand that for every store that gets out, there are easily 5 more. There are segments of la frontera that are known as death valleys because of the difficulty of maintaining hydration and CBP‘s institutionalized culture of destroying water sources left behind by crossers & activists

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

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. 🧵

It wasn’t Liam Ramos with Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl halftime show He hasn’t had a happy ending & sharing a false story could hurt his family The DoJ is moving to expedite his deportation They want to punish Liam for capturing the hearts of the nation His happy ending is still a long way away:

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Now THIS is service journalism

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state. Tell them it will find your dog.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

Note: Just like Mohsen Mahdawi, ICE snatched Leqaa at what she thought was a routine immigration check-in, after she protested Israel’s genocide of Gaza. They then took her from New Jersey to Texas—where she’s been detained for nearly a year. Now she’s hospitalized and her whereabouts are unknown.

“It’s worse than people think,” said attorney Eric Lee, who tried to visit clients at Dilley on Saturday. “The water is putrid. They have to mix baby formula with water that nobody wants to even smell. The food has bugs in it. The food has dirt in it.”

Note the complete absence of trans people and drag queens from the files. No Hillary, no Huma. Meanwhile QAnon messiah Trump was seemingly Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend.

Six more minutes and the longest January of my life will be over.

ICE has a serious issue with misogyny. An agent shot Marimar Martinez after calling her a b*tch and bragged “5 shots 7 holes”. The agent who killed Renee Good called her a “f*cking b*tch”. The agents who killed Alex Pretti were angry he interrupted their assault on a woman

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we need to remember all 11 million of the human beings the Nazis killed: * 6 million Jews. * 2.8 million Soviet POW's. * 1.8 million non-Jewish Poles. * 275,000 disabled people. * Also Catholics, Roma, homosexuals and political dissidents. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

This week's Sunday Scaries are extra spicy thanks to spiking prices of rare metals

Minnesota is the best of us.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

I also like that he is talking about safety, which in recent years has been co-opted to signal all kinds of messages and almost become a dog whistle.

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

This is really cool but I was too caught up on the fact this is a shaky camera of a Mexican family whispering in fear as they film a full swarm of secret police lurk through their neighborhood in hunt of more victims

Coordinated a beer drop by a white friend to deliver a 30-rack of Hamm’s to a Hispanic friend’s doorstep because his wife wouldn’t let him leave the house to go buy more beer for fear he’d be brutalized by lawless armed masked federal paramilitaries. This is Minnesota community. We take care of us.

As you already well know by now, it's all lies. Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie. All of it. Every time.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

This man’s quote is being picked up by international news. The narrative of the “orphaned” child is being pushed to erase the queerness of Renee. It’s possible people from her life are homophobic and won’t recognize the rights of the stepmother.

This has to be the start of something or she died for nothing but clicks

In no danger. Not self defense. It was murder.

Don't believe the lies DHS are telling you. A DHS agent murdered someone in Minneapolis today. Video shows that the driver was leaving the scene. DHS agents lie in court. They lie in press releases. They are trained to dehumanize you and treat you like a criminal for filming them.

There's actually three videos with three different angles and fuck the one where you can see the shooting is haunting the person recording is screaming NOOOOOO as the ICE agent pulls out his gun and opens fire Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle. This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

Today is one of those days where I’m struck anew by how *bad* the internet has gotten. It’s almost unusable. Clouds, apps, advertising — nothing is where it should be and it’s nigh impossible sometimes to do basic tasks online.
