I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Monstrously evil. Abolish ICE. Melt down its weapons and sell off all of its assets. Release everyone from its concentration camps and grant citizenship (if they want it) to everyone whose rights it has violated.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

I’m watching a documentary on Vietnam and it’s reminded me of two things. First, that my father, who was from Middle America and as patriotic as they come, thought LBJ was a liar. Second, I realized. yet again, that Nixon was a Machiavellian, untrustworthy prick.

Best tip I ever got was from a black insurance man from Maryland because we made steaks happen for his table at 15 minutes before the kitchen closed. (IYKYK.) Worst was 4% from a Dutch guy.

In every old guy’s life, we have to make a choice between what we’re going to let pass, and what’s going to make us look like an old guy shaking his fist at the clouds.

You want to let us say abolish while you use the language you want to use? Fine. Fill in the blank, congressman: “I want to ________ ICE.” Verb of your choice. Go. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Once again, Prof. Wurman is spreading misinformation about the history of early modern England. His refusal to answer basic methodological and substantive inquiries is revealing. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Fortunately, the Notre Dame Law Review is about to publish more of his work.

“Increasingly.”

The guy is in a Callaway cap. If you got guys protesting, who would normally rather be found on a golf course, you have entered unforeseen resistance territory.

Not to shade Carice van Houten, but loony Laura Loomer looks like the red witch. #GoT

Thread.

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

Some days, being an attorney is telling a potential client, “You know, you can do this yourself online… for free.”

This is not, in fact, supporting the point you think you’re making.

@schumer.senate.gov Stop trying to “reform” ICE. If they don’t care about the constitution and laws now, they won’t care about your “reform” after. Abolish ICE and start over. 👇👇👇

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The Crown’s indulgence of this criminal infant doesn’t last longer than Charles does.

Italians, your white card has been revoked. Stefani Germanotta is a perfidious latin

It sure seems like ICE forged this guy's signature in an attempt to deport him. Every single lawyer involved with ICE needs to be disbarred. Every agent, every employee, every contractor, needs to be permanently ineligible for federal jobs and federal aid. Most should be imprisoned.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Worth noting that this response actually concedes that what Pritzker said is true.

There’s so much shit we’re swimming in. I’m astonished that the pimple-faced DOGE maggots raided the Social Security Administration and stole all of our private information for sale to private parties.

Even if these snowboarders don’t “stick” a landing, I don’t care. It’s still incomprehensibly amazing.

How do you ski … on a blown ACL?? #LindseyVonn. #Incredible.

Almost a year ago @joshtpm.bsky.social posted: “The situation at NIH and for biomedical research in the US is MUCH MUCH WORSE than you realize.” I can confirm that this remains true. It is today MUCH MUCH WORSE than the way everyone is acting in public.

Decisions in which Judges Jones and Duncan compose the majority are uniformly awful.

Congressional Dems should be pushing for changes to venue rules (among other procedural/remedial changes, like Bivens) to prevent the Trump admin from evading bona fide judicial review by warehousing everyone in the Fifth Circuit.

Former NFL star Charles Tillman says he walked away from his FBI career after refusing to take part in an immigration operation he couldn’t stand behind. “I want to be on the right side of history when it’s all said and done,” Tillman said Read the full story: www.theqgentleman.com/post/2026-02...

Two things I believe are wholly possible: 1. Someone bought this to sell on speculation. 2. Someone bit at that price. #PTBarnum

The City’s Budget is our future. And you deserve to know how it works.

I think a good analogue here is how Republicans handled IRS surge funding when they had the chance to affect it. prospect.org/2026/01/29/c...

Again, there is no legislative fix for the magnitude of the authoritarian crimes being committed daily. Everyone is just pretending at this point: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

If media is going to claim a "pivot," let's stipulate some threshold questions: Is ICE still treating US cities like occupied territory? Will there be serious governmental investigations into ICE killings? Any accountability for them? If not, nothing is changing. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2057...

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

Harmeet is mad because he posted the standard ethics rule that says "Judges can donate to legal services organizations without needing to recuse from cases to which those organizations' lawyers are appointed" (basically Judges can donate to legal aid) while the White House is attacking Judge Schlitz

These people are awesome.

How to destroy the most trusted source in News in 12 weeks.

They could call it the Donald Trump “For Unlawful Constitutional Kerfuffling, Make All Guns Anathema” Act

If Democrats haven't announced their proposal for the Donald Trump No Guns in Public bill by the end of the day, they're missing an easy shot

Dems aren't abolishing the thing that forced kids in MSP to stay home for fear of being kidnapped and teachers forced to develop online lessons for those same kids. GOP was angry when a deadly virus no one could control closed schools but Dems can't find the stones to do the same for the Gestapo

“Try me…”

We're getting a snowstorm tomorrow. But New York City is prepared.

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda. 1. Vote no on DHS funding bill. 2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE. 3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents. 4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

Somewhere in some cul-de-sac of academia are one or two academics whose study is the Third Amendment, which the rest of us thought was a dead letter. Now is their time!

This is an important point: how much role-playing games where we’re all a hero, enforces our innate, childish solipsism. It deserves more study and a lot more commentary.

This is an insult to dog shit.
