1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Tonight at 8:30 PM our constituent Ricky was pepper sprayed by ICE on 18th & Polk. 2 agents parked their car, got out and approached observers, started pepper spraying Ricky on public property, and then drove away and left. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minnesota. ICE must be abolished.

🧵If you’re experiencing or suffering or despairing right now, the impact of stress and anxiety on your health are REAL. You’re not alone, it’s not “just you”.

It was REPUBLICANS!

Rep. Rebecca Balint (D-VT) with her whole chest out says ‘it didn’t have to be like this I want to remind everyone who supersized the ICE budget, it was Trump and MAGA Republicans in Congress, they are who did this.’ Go off Becca, speaks that truth to power‼️💥🔥💥

Yeah they should be able to take your card and add $ to the gift card we’re using. Or just send us a dm and we can follow up. Very kind of you

Call the bar (during quiet hours) and give them your credit card. Say “put a $100 in the tab. Fuck ice.”

Hey, we've had a few random folks send checks from around the country. So we have a running tab. If you're out there doing mutual aid or patrolling, tell the bartender* and they'll buy you a drink. You deserve it. Stay Safe. Fuck Ice. *Almost all the bartenders know about this.

This is Zephyr. He is a professionally trained bed bug detector. When he recognizes the scent of live bed bugs, he gives an alert by sitting and smiling exuberantly at his handler. We're pretty sure no one has ever been more excited to find bed bugs in their life. 13/10 (TT: emmercrew)

This is Remi. She feels so powerful in her snowsuit. Loves the satisfying swishy sound it makes when she walks. 12/10 diva material (TT: ferikitz)

You guys this is what they do. They drive around in circles in parking lot. Ice has to be the most dip shit inefficient organization on the planet.

To be clear, this is *everyone*. Not just *everyone in Minnesota*.

A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.

February 2026:🧵 of recents local opposition to opening of ICE detention centers nationwide…

Another packed house in Howard County, Maryland tonight showing up in support of CB16 and against the opening of an ICE detention center in our community. #Resist #ICEout @maddow.bsky.social

Rhetoric didn’t kill Renee Good or Alex Pretti. An unaccountable federal police force did.

🧊 "We're going to get an ICE detention facility before we get a grocery store!"

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.

Prosecutors seemingly agree to release body camera footage of Marimar Martinez shooting. #MarimarMartinez #ReneeGood #ICE #BorderPatrol www.jezebel.com/marimar-mart...

ICE shackled a woman for 24 hours in a bathroom with 3 other men. ICE detained a five-year-old child who got sick under their watch. ICE has gone after people who came here through legal processes. This is out of control. Kristi Noem has got to go.

This cannot be reformed. #AbolishICE #AbolishDHS

I don't often wear political t-shirts, but I'm proudly sporting this one today. I'm an immigrant. I teach American (and international!) college students, research the U.S. economy, consult with policymakers, write books, raise my kids, pay taxes, and try to make this a better place.

something i would like to know is what, if any, role jeff bezos is playing in the trump administration's acquisition of giant warehouses across the country.

Yes, FBI? I’m calling to report a murder.

Part of whole 🧵 The guy’s whole speech

Part of whole 🧵 Mind blowing speech before Sunrise AZ council referencing the complicity of the residents & Mayor of a German town during wartime in what was going on at a Buchenwald camp. “They had enough to know what was going in.” Here: “You have enough to know what is going on.” 🎤⬇️

This is incredibly moving. Good on this citizen for writing this and making it so clear. Worth the time:

Residents are chiding the council and mayor for saying they had no idea this facility was being bought by DHS. “It was your job to know,” said a speaker who called the council “failures.” Another said they wouldn’t be making these “we can’t do anything” excuses if it was a proposed homeless shelter.

This whole 🧵 about a concentration/death camp proposed near Phoenix, the blithering dunceness of the Know Nothing mayor, and residents speaking up and out against it. No one is coming to help us except us ✊

Of course. DHS lied again. Right after they murdered Renee Good, they shot a young couple in Portland. Then lied about it. They were *not* gang members. And she wasn’t “involved” in a shooting, she was a victim of sexual assault. apple.news/AeMvL-19yS1S...

Shocking video of Witt‘s sheriffs acting exactly like ICE. These are not Feds, this is local law enforcement. www.startribune.com/ice-hennepin...

Yep

January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol. That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress. I’m Harry Dunn. And I’m ready to finish the job.

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

My colleagues and I are also bringing forward a resolution on the city council calling for Congress to act. It would support the repealing of the Laken Riley Act, the Melt ICE Act to end the DHS funding to detain or monitor immigrants, the Abolish ICE Act that would dismantle ICE, & other matters.

No, stop it. You don't really believe Democrats would defect on impeachment if 25 GOP flipped, & the way you know this is that every Senate Democrat voted <twice> to convict Trump in impeachment trials the last time around. You can be unhappy with Dems on policy issue X & still know 👇 is nonsense.

I know they've told some real whoppers as they've been on their lawless rampage, but an ICE agent thinking he could get away with lying about shooting someone through the closed front door of a home is top notch. www.startribune.com/mn-venezuela...

She likes masked armed trained assassins in our streets? She thinks that’s just fine? She thinks we don’t have civil rights now? She thinks racial profiling is fine? The violence and killing by our own fed government is fine? Shes an evil bitch. To support a a criminal pedophile/party. 🖕

Sadly, 8-6 was a quieter caucus than in previous years. I have no problem attributing that to the fact that we're a heavily Latinx precinct, one of the most in the city. Good results all around with our group, but there was an aching absence

Serious group though: very focused, good discussion on resolutions, you can tell these folks (Minneapolis Ward 8) have been doing stuff.

Caucus attendance where I convened was solid, not spectacular, fewer non-attendee forms than expected, but heartening to see a substantial (1/4 maybe) number of new attendees. Filled out the Senate District (no alternates tho), only 1/3 of city/schools, competitive for both county delegates.
