NOT ENOUGH SENATOR. We have two year olds in camps TAKE YOUR ELECTED BEHIND TO A CAMP AND THEN SHUT IT DOWN YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL FIGURE ACT LIKE YOU KNOW HISTORY IS WATCHING

6 Minn-based CVT clients, all torture survivors, all with legal status, have been taken by ICE and flown out of state. Only one was released. The situation is what they fled from. “The majority of our clients are essentially under house arrest,” said Sara Nelson www.startribune.com/rash-they-fl...

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Explain to me why I’m standing in front of my childrens’ schools in subzero weather trying to make sure none of their classmates are kidnapped by armed, masked goons then.

“Kristi Noem has a 1st Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, & any other inapt name she wants. Sec’y Noem, however, is constrained by both our Constitution & the APA to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program” & has not done so

Huge relief for the Haitian community in Springfield—and all over the U.S. Some nice zingers here, to boot.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

Experts have described Dilley as “a hellhole” and decried the lack of proper medical care. Court records claim food is filled with worms, and the water is undrinkable. As a result, reports have spread of children are hitting themselves in the face and wetting themselves long after potty-training.

every single day as this wolfhound century progresses i think of this poem by osip mandelstam (who did not escape his own wolfhound century). но не волк я по крови своей (the translation is by peter france)

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

My Axolotl beanie for #NationalAxolotlDay. I actually didn't know it was axolotl day until today, but it's a good day to be publishing this pattern. 🧶🐸 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

The priest at my church got beat up at an anti-ICE protest on the peninsula this week, and when he showed up for Mass today with a black eye all the church ladies swooned like they had seen a Backstreet Boy.

Friend, speaking as someone who has been organizing on the left for over 20 years... ...we absolutely have an antisemitism problem. It's not unique to us, all of this country has an antisemitism problem. But we are not exempt.

He had his hands up!!!! WTH!

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

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.

there are so many impeachable offenses that you now need two wheelbarrows full of impeachable offenses to purchase a simple loaf of bread

Reposting this - people think it won't happen to them or their loved ones, and then it does. My sister didn't have a choice, there was no vaccine available to her. Who are the vulnerable? Babies, the immune compromised, our older loved ones. Do the right thing for yourselves and your loved ones.

Liam, 5, has been freed, but four other students from his school district remain detained in Texas. Two boys from his elementary school were taken Thurs “This isn’t something we are prepared or trained for. We’ve dedicated our lives to protecting + educating children,” school superintendent told me

Anti-abortion politicians are trying to make obtaining mifepristone harder. We won't let them. Tell the Department of Health and Human Services: Keep politics out of our health care.

Rep. Morrison on conditions at Whipple: "She said, 'they are treating us like animals in here. The women that are in this cell with me, we slept on a cold concrete floor last night. We were begging for a blanket, & guards were cruel'... we have to resolve that every single person deserves dignity"

Unfortunately, it's probably not quite what you're thinking 😅😿 The very first comic IS a cat physicist testing gravity by knocking something off a table, and feeling glad that they'll need to replicate that observation many more times.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX. we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home. delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

Reminder to Texans that tomorrow (Monday) is the last day to register to vote in the March elections

Intriguing. I see Khoury-Ghata has a book on Mandelstam and one on Tsvetaeva. The TBR pile grows

I'm so old, I remember January 2025 when this racist letter circulated in Lincoln County, OR encouraging people to report on their neighbors who are undocumented. The letter ended by saying this would bring houses prices down. What was condemned as racist vigilantism last year is now gov't policy.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

This is incredible???

Thank you San Francisco!

In an interview with MPR News, Liam's mother gave an update on her son and her own safety. She said Liam asks again and again, “Mommy, why don’t you pick us up?” Or “Mommy, we don’t want to be here anymore. This place is ugly.”

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!"

So many people of all ages turned up to the ICE OUT event in Boise. We're not snitching but a few youngsters may have walked out for this, good for them.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

#Documentary : 𝘗𝘶𝘵 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘭 𝘰𝘯 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘬 by award-winning Iranian director Sepideh Farsi. Depicts life under siege in Gaza, captured through video calls with Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassouna. The day after the #film was selected for Cannes 2025, Fatma & her family were killed.

hell yeah Providence is legit one of the best cities

Of course she should never have been arrested or charged in the first place

Turns out that you can simply chose not to sell your warehouse and prevent it from becoming a detention center www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Here's an opportunity to support the other journalist arrested today; Georgia Fort, who will have far fewer resources available to her than Don Lemon.
