The home healthcare workforce is disproportionately comprised of immigrants, and it's certainly not because they take jobs US-born folks want. As a result, "a 25% increase in the steady state flow of immigrants to the US would result in 5,000 fewer deaths nationwide."

18 of the 43 drugs on TrumpRx already have cheaper options, per @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social. TrumpRx focuses on brand-named drugs, ignoring generics.

Are you enforcing it though?

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

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.

To which a good journalist would respond: "Ok, so how about those Epstein files?"

This seems compelling and lays out a clear mechanism by which Trump could/may/will try to subvert the midterms. Thoughts?

Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017. He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.

Someone should start a new media outlet by hiring all those fired from @washingtonpost.com this week. I'd subscribe to that.

Trump has ended refugee resettlement pathways for Iranian religious minorities. hias.org/statements/t...

Americans overestimate how many social media users post harmful content by *huge* margins. They believe that 43-47% of users on Reddit/FB post harmful content, when the truth is closer to 3-7%.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

Did not expect that. Will definitely take the win.

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever. Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

Time for everyone with a microphone or platform to push back FORCEFULLY against this deceiving BS. The GOP knows it can’t win in free and fair elections this November so it is now jumping on the fraud bandwagon.

I have questions: 1. By what mechanism are undocumented immigrants “taking houses”? 2. Do you plan to provide free housing to Americans since it’s their right? 3. Assuming you are smart enough to know you are spewing lies, how well do you sleep at night?

Just a reminder that "A database maintained by the right-wing Heritage Foundation found "fewer than 100 examples of non-citizens voting between 2002 and 2022, amid more than 1 billion lawfully cast ballots." via @juddlegum.bsky.social

"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/o...

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

Heroes come in many forms and this is one of them

“Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency," the judge wrote. "And the rule of law be damned."

Dem flips have been consistent and large in special elections this year. Reps have flipped zero special elections this year. Via @gelliottmorris.com

NO!

Would love to see the same kind of public uproar we saw for @jimmykimmel.com when he got canceled, not arrested.

Is it fascism yet?

Finding myself, yet again, agreeing with @gelliottmorris.com 's analysis here: voters like the idea of immigration enforcement, but dislike the reality of it.

Hard to pick just one devastating stat from this survey but holy shit

Is Susan Collins going to get this man and the rest of the kidnapped Mainers back from her new BFF Kristi Noem? She got her headlines today - and that's usually her primary goal but trusting Collins is risky business and trusting Noem is even worse

Just a masterclass in rhetoric.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

"Pedro Sanchez’s government said it will grant legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented pp in the country, as long as they can show they arrived before Dec. 31, 2025, & have been in the country for at least 5 months." www.worldpoliticsreview.com/spain-migrat...

This piece is everything. The excerpt about social cohesion isn’t just wishful thinking. Studies, some I’ve conducted, show that people differ in their ability to empathize, but that they can empathize with folks who do not share their social identities.

Over the past couple days I have seen so many accounts that *never* post anything political, speak out against ICE. I sincerely hope Dem leaders don’t let up. This momentum is everything.

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year. These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.* So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds. Read, & check out our maps:

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.

If you didn't catch this segment of @maddow.bsky.social's tonight, I recommend you watch the whole thing. We're seeing both utterly sadistic mass scale horror alongside incredibly inspiring mass displays of humanity. The regime is weak. The people will win.

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.

A tipping point?

This hit so fucking hard today.

In Minnesota, scores of ordinary people are bravely looking out for their neighbors, defending their communities, and protesting lawless violence. They are the best of America. Here's how to stand with them. www.standwithminnesota.com

Just goes to show they know nothing about building community…. or about building anything, really.

Alex pretti was a Va nurse and a dog owner

Imagine if the NBA and the NFL went on strike? Will never happen but that would surely be the end of this administration.

Just called my Senators and urged them to filibuster the DHS funding bill but also to show leadership by demanding that Schumer/Jeffries go to Minneapolis and represent what the majority of the people want: ICE out of our cities.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.
