ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

Cruelty is big business

Polymarket, the gambling app that lets users bet on just about anything, was being investigated for violating money laundering laws. Then Trump became president. The DOJ dropped its probe. And Don Jr. (who was an investor) got hired as an advisor to the company. Funny how that works, huh?

Bulk sales of tickets to Melania are being promoted through emails from WH Faith Office advisor Paula White-Cain using her National Faith Advisory Board list. People are encouraged to purchase 30 tickets at a time to “support our First Lady.” meidasnews.com/news/exclusi...

Healthcare fraud in Minnesota, sensationalized by Trump and Rupert Murdoch, is trivial compared to healthcare fraud in Texas and Florida, which lead the nation in this category. News you'll never see on Rupert Murdoch TV. www.startribune.com/trump-claims...

Via Ralph Chapoco: Both Tommy Tuberville, running for governor, and John Wahl, running for lieutenant governor, faced allegations that they did not meet the seven-year residency requirement for their respective offices.

Over 30 million people drink water from the Great Lakes, and contamination by “forever chemicals” will persist for generations.

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home. Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

At a time when Black history is being erased, places like the Louis Armstrong House matter more than ever. That’s why I’m proud to partner with the Louis Armstrong House Museum to offer free admission to all visitors on Saturday, February 7th.

The James V. Brown Library received an official notification from the U.S. Department of State that it will be deactivated as a Passport Acceptance Facility due to its status as a non-governmental organization.

“I have told the clergy of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire … to get their affairs in order, make sure they have their wills written. It may be time, not for statements, but for us with our bodies to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable”.

BIG SCOOP @heatmap.news: The Trump administration is now going after renewable energy projects on both public and private lands by indefinitely delaying water permits … on grounds that the projects might have bad “aesthetics” Yes, they’re hurting renewable energy projects by calling them ugly

“…Two weeks after voters returned President Donald Trump to office, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. summoned employees of the U.S. Supreme Court for an unusual announcement…He requested they each sign a nondisclosure agreement promising to keep the court’s inner workings secret.” Gift link:

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker (R-PA-11) sues his hometown paper (my employer, LNP | LancasterOnline) for defamation, arguing an editorial that described his + other GOPers' arguments last fall that Dems wanted to fund health care for illegal immigrants were a "lie." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Always embarrassing @MarshaBlackburn predictably blaming the Nashville power crisis on DEI This person should be nowhere near the Governor’s office TN Republicans will do all they can to turn this situation into a way to privatize and enrich their friends

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

Horrifying. ICE confirms measles outbreak at Dilley family detention center. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-dil...

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year: “As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

I think it’s time we take weapons of war away from law enforcement. No more tactical armor, chemical irritants, crowd control weapons, or high capacity guns. Do it with a night stick and your charm.

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.

It’s been 8 days and we still don’t know the names of the men who murdered Alex Pretti. DHS must be abolished. No ICE. No palantir surveillance police state. There’s no “fixing” a sociopathic agency designed to trample on our freedoms.

Don Lemon is a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday. 🔥

NASHVILLE! Join organizers for a vigil outside the VA hospital tonight at 6 PM honoring a true patriot killed at hands of our federal government. Rest in power.

“I don’t know anything about it” says the guy who posted 3x about it on Friday and Saturday

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Ocean Beach this morning… just wow!!

In a scathing order, a judge orders the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father. “Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you can keep it." With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED.”

Describes deportation efforts as "ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented." Accuses the government of traumatizing children. Says feds are driven by "perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty." Extraordinary. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Below the judge's signature, there is a photo of Liam Ramos and citations to 2 bible verses. I looked them up. Matthew 19:14: "Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.'" John 11:35 is just two words: "Jesus wept."

NEWS: Judge Biery has ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos. A thunderous rebuke against ICE’s violent campaign in Minnesota. Read the order below. Link: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For Liam.

Victory (still a cat) from Kyiv. She stayed under the blanket for the 12 seconds I filmed 🙃 Maybe you need something good today. We don’t have much good here – but this, yes.

Kyiv is in total blackout, as are many parts of Ukraine. No water, no heating, no electricity. Severe frost outside. This is the result of constant russian attacks. Thank you to those few who still care.
