BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

If Democrats will not take a strong stance on abolishing ICE, vote them out! Calls to "reform" and "replace" ICE are a tone-deaf response to an agency that has murdered at least two people and is tearing apart families and imprisoning children. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/u...

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

“Should Mejia prevail, it will be because Democratic voters are dissatisfied with what many see as their party’s anemic response to Trump’s berserk authoritarianism,” writes Michelle Goldberg about the congressional special election in New Jersey.

The real red hats! #MeltTheICE

The Dilley detention center should be shut down immediately. Because of the close-quarter conditions at Dilley, lack of prompt medical response and capacity, and lack of expertise with diseases such as measles, Dilley is not equipped to combat any spread.

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Go Bad Bunny!!!!

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Immigration attorney Eric Lee said he was at the Dilley facility for a confidential visit with clients when guards began shouting for everyone in the waiting area to leave, citing what they described as “an incident.” Read More👉 ebx.sh/9NSK40

Barbara Walker, a self-taught knitter who invented about 1,000 patterns of her own and published seven foundational books, has died at 95.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

"But when I landed in Minneapolis and saw the size, scope and lawlessness of the federal onslaught unfolding here, I understood that Good’s killing was emblematic of its true mission: to stage a spectacle of cruelty upon a city that stands in stark defiance of Trump’s dark vision of America."
