Not that it would be okay to do this to an undocumented immigrant either but THIS GUY IS A LEGAL IMMIGRANT and also his lawyer hand delivered his medication and they REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM. Enraging! How do ANY of these people live with themselves?

After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered. 18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

Incredible

We were outraged by Liam, but Diana is a young girl that has been in an ICE prison even longer. The wee girl still is in prison. Be loud! Share! Justice for Diana Crespo Gonzalez!

glad to see i'm not the only one who puts a car for scale in all my penis diagrams

Greg Bovino partying with a bunch of goons in Vegas moments before he was escorted him off the premises "to protect those inside". This was a taste of how the rest of his life is going to be.

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

Oohhh free donuts at work! They don't look like they have been licked...

I feel like this is our modern Lindbergh baby, with Moe, Larry and Shemp investigating

If you use Notepad++, this is critical reading and you need to update ASAP

Watching Father Brown take on Magdalene Laundries, knowing that it causes GK Chesterton to roll over in his grave makes me happy.

A moment of silence in honor of Jimmy Carter and his foundation's tireless efforts that contributed so much to this progress

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension. Public pressure works. If enough people speak up, a life may be saved. Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

holy shit

Literally just yesterday I remarked to a colleague that this administration is creating a generation of ACCs who don't have a clue how to win cases where the forum isn't stacked massively in their favor. Yeah it must suck to go to real court and be expected to make real arguments with real evidence.

Some people have questioned whether this is real. First, Blume is a legit reporter who's covering the courts in earnest. Second, there's a MN-barred attorney named Julie Le whose address is literally the Whipple Building. Another attorney confirmed to me she's a private attorney contracting with DOJ

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

So, what do you do when you can't trust either side? Too many lies from Hegseth and Iran. So all I know is the DoD wants me to think a drone was shot down

Shit is nuts. This week I spoke to a crim. defense attorney from mpls who mostly does federal work. He said a client got arrested with 19 pounds of meth & an indictment was coming. Then the feds had to forgo the indictment because they don’t have the resources. Walking away from 19 pounds of meth!

They made up a complaint against a judge who ruled against them, period.

Remember how pissed Hitler got when Jesse Owens won at the Berlin Olympics. Think about whats going to happen in 2028.

BREAKING: Judge Cobb has barred DHS from preventing members of Congress from visiting immigration detention facilities without notice, saying the administration's policy likely violated the law requiring their unfettered access. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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

I'm trying to sell more of these pins than they sell tickets for the Melania movie. I think I can do it. Want to help? willburrows.art/shop

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

Here is another way to get involved protecting our communities, but it's a significant time commitment, standing in solidarity with day laborers. ndlon.org/adopt-a-day-...

My kitten, Gilbert, is fighting to recover from FIP. Contributions received so far were just enough to cover the initial emergency costs and his treatment through January. A donation and sharing this link with others would make a real difference. 🙏🖤🐈‍⬛ #CatsOfBlueSky #Minterland gofund.me/d4f655229

this is buried at the end of a thread but it is worth elevating. don’t use biometrics on devices that are logged into Signal! passwords and passcodes can’t be compelled. neither touch nor face id require you to be conscious or alive to unlock.

We've reached the Tear Gassing White Girls stage of fascism

Trump-Vance allies are trying to take lifesaving COVID vaccines OFF the market entirely! Meaning no one will be able to access them in the United States. This is a public health emergency that must be stopped in its tracks.

SOS. Because they are under attack by their own federal government and their own president. The government to whom they pay taxes. The President who is sworn to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

The nazis redistributed the stolen property of deported Jews to the German population. It was called Aryanization. This is no different. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryaniz...

Until they do, I won't use biometrics for my personal security.

Watching shows like Sanford and Son, What's Happening and Good Times growing up helped me see a world beyond the mostly white part of Austin I lived in. I know I'm not perfect but I think Demond Wilson helped me be better than I could have been

Ok, next Friday is an online training to help respond to ICE activity in the PNW, specifically Snohomish county. I'm case people are interested

Some joy today

"In response to criticisms she's heard about the hat being 'performative,' Mashaal, the shop owner, said the thousands of dollars that have gone toward supporting their community speaks for itself."

See, now I have to wonder if it's as bad as Battle Beyond the Stars

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

If you haven’t seen, or rewatched Babylon 5, it is very seriously, the most relevant televised sci-fi show in history right now. In particular, season 4.
