this whole thing is on Bezos, a perfect example of why billionaires will not save us for years he supported the Post and then he decided destroying it utterly at the altar of a wannabe dictator better served his personal ambitions, so he did institutions shouldn’t live or did at one man’s whim

This is 100% the vibe in our household and among all of our friends here right now.

NEW: President Trump is making new false claims about Tina Peters, calling into question whether Trump is aware of the basic facts about the case that has led him to repeatedly punish the State of Colorado

JFC

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Saturday. Again, every time someone says "Trump can't do that" the only serious response is "Yes, he can, until Congress removes him"

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

"That should be a hand up, not a hand out. So we ended all the hand outs." "... And replaced them with some kind of hand up?" "Oh, hell no. These poor bastards are on their own."

reminder that a small handful of Republicans in the House and Senate could end this madness today

Articles of Impeachment against Kristi Noem have been introduced in the House. Call your Representative to let them know that you expect their support. I just called and left a message for mine. I got the number and ideas for talking points from 5calls.org. It took less than 1 minute.

There have been no consequences for brutality and lawlessness, so of course they feel emboldened.

We can celebrate Trump throwing Bovino under the bus while keeping the pressure on. Throw Noem under the boss, too. And Miller. Vance. Trump. Musk. The bus hungers. The bus will know justice. (Not a literal bus. A metaphor bus. The metaphor bus hungers.)

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Call your Senators. I just called both of mine. The House passed the Appropriations bill that includes funding for ICE & CBP last week, so now we need to stop it in the Senate. Complete the form and you will receive a phone call that is already connected to your Senator's office.

No Kings is hosting what is shaping up to be the largest ICE Watch training in history tonight. Join here: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

The biggest challenge to Minnesota's effort to halt "Operation Metro Surge" is a law passed during the Clinton administration which strips jurisdiction from federal judges to "enjoin or restrain the operation" of laws relating to immigration arrests, detention, and removal.

Reminder. Here are the House Democrats who crossed party lines and voted to fund ICE. House Democrats who voted to fund ICE: - Tom Suozzi (D-NY) - Henry Cuellar (D-TX) - Don Davis (D-NC) - Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) - Laura Gillen (D-NY) - Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) - Jared Golden (D-ME)

Additional observation, via the great @bbkogan.bsky.social: Thanks to OBBA funding, Trump could run ICE at double capacity for all 3 remaining years even in a permanent shutdown bsky.app/profile/bbko...

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.

This week, the Senate will vote to renew ICE’s budget with no strings attached. Tell your Senators to protect our communities and vote NO.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

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

Together, we can defeat the forces that would rip apart our democracy and install a white nationalist autocracy in place of our beloved Republic. Now is a time of monsters, but it is also a time for heroes to vanquish them.

THIS!!!! 👇

It is important to keep repeating this, because these 23 people continue to get complete free passes every day while the fascism & incineration of American national security keep happening.

Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law

We are off the cliff, folks 🇺🇸

With accountability, all things are possible. Without accountability, you get Donald Trump. Here's my view on how accountability can - and must - still come for Trump:

Thank you to everyone who is risking their safety and contributing their time and money to protect our neighbors. If you are so inclined, please check out Stand With Minnesota (standwithminnesota.com) to find a way to help. And no one start any beefs with Will Stancil. (2/2)

The surge of DHS agents into Minnesota has done tremendous harm to the people of Minnesota, and I urge those who have personally experienced that harm to share their stories with my office. To submit a report, visit: ag.state.mn.us/federal-action

It will break your heart, but we owe it to them to not look away.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Well, one of those was a law passed by Congress to help people, and the other is an unconstitutional power grab, but yes, otherwise the same.

mad king moment from the PBS Newshour correspondent

The US is collapsing into fascism and going to war with Europe and the opposition party is like “I’m here to talk about the important thing: how your average grocery bill has risen by two dollars over the last year, which I also have no plan or ability to fix”

Noem's claim is FALSE. Here is ICE's own data on the detention population among those arrested by ICE: - 43% no criminal record (up from 6% at the start of the year), - 29% at least one prior conviction* - 28% at least one pending charge *most common are traffic and immigration offenses.

Good. It's time for Trump's ICE and Border Patrol to stop assaulting peaceful protestors and violating the First Amendment. Follow the damn law. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I applaud this, and at the same time, I'm terrified of what might happen next.

What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin. “No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.” EVERYTHING has changed.

Greenlanders have now encircled the American consulate in Nuuk, recently identified as the command center for preparatory operations for a US military invasion.

A federal court dismissed the Trump Justice Department’s lawsuit seeking access to California’s full voter registration database Thursday, warning that the government’s bid for the voter records “threatens the right to vote which is the cornerstone of American democracy.

Further entanglement of the military with Trump's broader mass deportation pushes; dozens of JAGs have been shifted to DOJ to serve as temporary immigration judges, and now Hegseth wants JAGs to serve as special prosecutors to target protestors in Minneapolis. www.stripes.com/theaters/us/...

The time to do it is now, <before> he invades our closest allies. The mere fact he’s threatening it is hundreds of miles past Nixon’s crimes. Do your job already.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

The federal government shouldn't be allowed to buy our personal information from shadowy surveillance companies without a warrant.
