One year ago today, Elon Musk made this gesture while giving remarks at Trump's inauguration.

US citizen says he felt fear, shame and desperation a day after ICE officers broke down his door with guns drawn, handcuffed him and dragged him into the snow wearing half-dressed. He was later returned home without explanation or apology, he said.

“…There is some information in there that isn't familiar to a lot of people. Including that the US is currently holding three times as many people in immigration detention as were detained in the entire Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939—six years into the Third Reich.”

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

I wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

There are times the fundamentals of world politics change to an extent hard to grasp. Here is an article from reputable Canadian media about Canadian military modelling to defend against an US invasion. Yes, you read that right.

This statement is… whew.

Senate Democrats must shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people Your reps can be reached 202-224-3121

Find someone who loves caving as much as Congressional Democrats. Impossible.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

“We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.” - Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from the Birmingham Jail Silence is not neutral. It is a choice.

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.

Just days after tear gassing a six month old baby and putting him in the hospital, ICE agents abandoned a six year old child in the streets of New Jersey. They kidnapped her father and left her wandering the neighborhood asking “Where’s Papi?” This is beyond cruel. It’s child abuse.

Get your affairs in order and prepare to "stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable," says New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Rob Hirschfield. I am not a Christian, but I agree.

These Democrats voted to confirm Kristi Noem: Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.) Sen. Maggie Hassan (N.H.) Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.) Sen. Andy Kim (N.J.) Sen. Gary Peters (Mich.) Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) Sen. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.)

The author of a controversial memo from centrist think tank Searchlight telling Democrats to abandon the slogan “Abolish ICE” is a senior advisor for WestExec, a D.C. shadow lobbyist for corporations in the defense, surveillance, and immigration enforcement industries. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social [Axios con't] Questions were on trans sports, GAC, & if men can become women--all questions Rep candidates have used. Dismayingly _none_ gave positive answers to all of these, with Buttigieg again throwing trans girls under the bus as he did last August. [2/2]

The official message of the U.S. government to ICE is if you kill an American citizen while trying to deport brown people, not only will we cover it up but we will try to jail their spouse instead. We all died during COVID and this is hell.

I feel like America plotting to annex Greenland while masked state goons terrorise their own communities at will should encourage British press and politicians to reflect on what happens when you act like "far right" is an unfair slur rather than a necessary descriptor of a real political position.

The person who is actually executing all this stuff, Marco Rubio, was confirmed by every single Democrat in the U.S. Senate.

"I won't do a thing"

we really do not

ICE is seriously going to be Gaza all over again for Democrats isn’t it. They’re going to try it again, insisting if they just don’t talk about it then it’s not actually an issue that matters to millions of voters.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.

Look at these evil bastards

The deaths at the concentration camps have already begun. You just haven’t clocked it yet.

ICE murdered Victor Manuel Diaz

ICE kidnapped an elderly Hmong man in St. Paul, Minnesota. The temperature was sub-zero, and he was taken only wearing shorts and Crocs, and no shirt. (1/18/26)

Assassination is now OK. That line has now been obliterated. What’s the next line?

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

Abigail Spanberger did not end Virginia’s 287(g) partnership with ICE yesterday, despite reports to the contrary. What Spanberger did do is rescind Glenn Youngkin’s order that required the state police + DOC to sign ICE contracts. She terminated the requirement, but not the contracts themselves.

So to reiterate now they are attacking an orphaned child

We have unlimited money for paramilitary forces that kidnap people off the streets but also have something called "school lunch debt" what are we doing here

Riffing on this a bit, the biggest most fundamental failing of the Democrat establishment is that they agree with Republicans on the narrative framing of issues. They agree that illegal immigration is destroying the country, that trans women are men, etc. They just think we should be nicer.

Three years ago today, Georgia state police murdered Tortuguita as part of their drive to destroy the Weelaunee Forest and build a deadly police militarization center. Tort fought for a world without police and capitalism, and so should we. Viva, viva Tortuguita.

Some background on Simon Rosenberg for those interested:

Her mother called 911 for help… and got turned into ICE instead. They placed her and her five year old daughter in a hotel and told them not to contact anyone. ICE didn’t want the community fighting for them. Mother & daughter have been deported to Honduras and the local police were complicit.

These elected Dems still don’t get it. @booker.senate.gov

Amazing thread. Newsom provides a point-by-point *endorsement* of every right-wing attack on trans ppl in a chummy interview w Shapiro. He’ll throw any and all Democrats under the bus.

secondary to the terrible content, gavin could be using his celebrity and influence to promote and elevate left wing media voices who are desperate for any kind of boost in visibility but instead hes doing whatever the fuck this is

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Make America White Again is very clearly the slogan, the movement, and philosophy at work here and the press is still shy about asking about it “a pair of asylum-seekers from Angola who handed over the keys to their apartment Wednesday and said they planned to head for the Canadian border.”

my estradiol is $300. I don't have that kind of money. I need this to help me stay stable. if anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

People lost their jobs for saying they didn’t feel bad Charlie Kirk died but I’m watching Kristi Noem call Renee Good a domestic terrorist.
