Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

In Minnesota, the MAGA regime must now reckon with the fact that a lot of white “heartlanders,” who Trumpist intellectuals love to idealize as “authentic Americans,” are not willing to let race and religion define the boundaries of their solidarity.

So, which senior Trump official is Gabbard covering up for? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

hahaha

Someone went to decades of school and took on hundreds of thousands in debt to be able to professionally argue in front of this judge that this family, in particular, should get kicked out of the country because we weren’t horrible enough to them the first time.

Seems real bad that the end point of ~25 years of War on Terror architecture is an agency of thin-skinned goons who will send armed men to your house if you email the government asking for compassion on behalf of someone else. newrepublic.com/post/206088/...

I guess what I'm trying to say is that there are tactical actions to protect vulnerable people and mitigate CBP abuses, and there are strategic actions to document and broadcast CBP abuses to the rest of the country. I don't see where dumpster fires fit into this picture

If random masked men are setting fires in your community, I think you should feel free to film them. Especially if dozens of other people and several national news crews are filming them. They are not "allies," they're arsonists. Grow up.

This implies death. Mass death. Caused directly by the decision of the White House and M*sk (then a top White House official) to recklessly obliterate—not reform—our overseas assistance capacity.

The local rapid response policy, which I first learned today when I was permanently removed, is “No press allowed ever.” I just think this is incredibly short-sighted and almost intrinsically self-defeating. Who are we observing FOR?

Leading democratic politicians should make plans to be in Springfield on February 4th

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

Excellent by Adam Serwer. I’d add: How many pseudo-deep commentators, typically MAGA-excusing, go on about liberalism’s lack of community, character, and moral virtue? Then MN features a truly striking demonstration of just these qualities by modern liberals. Reaction: crickets.

Right now normie places are spitting mad about the murder. Miller is a viscerally unpleasant person who says unhinged shit on national television regularly. Seems like a campaign to flood social media with reels of his worst shit edited together would be handy, to pick one idea that occurs to me

Until Miller’s gone these are just gestural purges to sanitize and consolidate his reign of terror.

While glad to see Bovino humbled, I really don’t have any higher opinion of Homan—a cruel, cold, corrupt, calculating bureaucrat who’s devoted more of his career to mass deportation than almost anyone. He’s the architect of child separation.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

I want to say this too: this victory was won because we had observers EVERYWHERE. ICE and CBP couldn't set foot in our city without cameras rolling. Much of the nation seemed determined to ignore our plight for weeks, but the avalanche of documentation we produced dragged the nation to us.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

I hope someone in the media asks Miller if he still thinks Alex Pretti was an assassin and a domestic terrorist, and if not what has changed his opinion in the past two days.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

The world lost a giant. Probably impossible to tally the lives Bill Foege saved through the global, networked infrastructure he basically invented that today we just take for granted. archive.is/Qa2is

I'd add universities, too

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Dr. William H. Foege, a towering figure in global public health whose visionary leadership changed the course of human history. Bill's contributions to the eradication of smallpox stand as one of the most extraordinary achievements in medicine and epidemiology.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents** substack.com/@gelliottmor...

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

ICU nurses are who save your life when you do your own research.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

Watching this in particular. The effort to take witnesses to Whipple, as well as the police refusing to leave the scene, are key.

ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

The share of Americans who disapprove of ICE tactics in polls: 60+ percent New York Times: “it’s really too complicated to say whether Americans approve of ICE killing Renee Good or not”

A windchill of around -30F didn’t stop what organizers say was 50,000 from marching through Minneapolis in one of, if not the largest, march in Minnesota history. Protesters demand accountability in the killing of Renee Good and removal of the federal agents that have upended daily life in MN.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

America 2026 apnews.com/article/immi...

Yup. The Presidency, Congress, and Supreme Court don't truly reflect the will of the American people, but to anyone abroad, the simple fact is that all of these entities are totally fine with shattering our European allegiances to steal Greenland just for the heck of it. They're right to be pissed.

It’s not personal. But this is Americans’ responsibility, collectively, even though tens of millions of us made a different choice.

So baller to do this in a German speaking country

I’m not sure this is how I personally would counter a speech from a Canadian leader saying that we’ve become thuggish shakedown artists devoid of even the pretense of values, but that’s humanity! A rich tapestry of which not every strand is gold.

Folks, is it good when the US President can't keep straight which country he wants to illegally conquer?

This one rules though

A lot of push alerts not heeding Bump’s wisdom at this hour
