Boarding a flight to South America via Houston (layover) and a CBP officer walked up with a couple, cut the line, and escorted them onto the plane and is now waiting as the rest of us board to make sure they don’t get off.

Scene: My dad & I sitting in an airport. He is eating Haribo twin snakes gummies. Dad: you know, we can’t eat these on the plane Me: …why? Dad: snakes on a plane and allll Me: … 😒 #dadjoke

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

I am offended by this mayo commercial's use of Neil Diamond. Just no.

Anyone who’d rather watch Kid Rock than that not only is a racist but has execrable taste

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

I'm on leave for the next few weeks and so excited.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

The dig specifying which false tweets are being references is 😘

😳 Musk’s “DOGE” overhauled the The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (“SAVE”) program,” which Trump & MAGA want states to use to PURGE supposed noncitizens from the VOTER ROLLS under the GOP’s proposed “SAVE Act”. Experts warn that “SAVE” isn’t accurate enough for this. WTH?!!! 1/ .

Thought I was done writing about the bullshit that outside media says about S.F. But this pair — making fun of unhoused people in wheelchairs — coaxed me out of retirement. On loving the city, and the fragility of visiting adult male Patriots fans. Gift link 🎁 www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

I got my first boss out of law school fired for telling me that I needed to smile more if I was to be considered for a raise. Sexist bullshit.

FY26 US govt spending bill that Congress just agreed to mostly funds agencies as in FY25, though it: —Reinforced DOGE’s 24% cut to HUD staff —Reduced resources for rail substantially, including recissions of $950m for high-speed rail grants —Reduced spending for transit, increased it for highways

okay but democratic voters want to abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who works for it, so

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

it's a shaky kind of morning. two earthquakes already.

well that was weird

I turned on the red carpet coverage for the Grammys to look at pretty dresses, but I have no idea who 95% of these people are...

Taking some time to relax and watch Bridgerton!

‘The Fair Housing Act does not just allow gov’t to examine how policies affect racial segregation and Black residents’ housing needs—it requires it.’ While Boston & Minneapolis stand up against HUD’s move to gut the duty to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH), Baltimore appeases Trump’s HUD 1/

Can someone please explain why the Director of National Intelligence would be present as part of a domestic law enforcement operation? Might there be - pause - some sort of suspected foreign intelligence involvement? Say it ain't so!

A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.

Okay I think I've mapped out ICE politics as of Monday night

While glad to see Bovino humbled, I really don’t have any higher opinion of Homan—a cruel, cold, corrupt, calculating bureaucrat who’s devoted more of his career to mass deportation than almost anyone. He’s the architect of child separation.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

I cannot stand people & organizations who believe that there are no appropriate comparisons to the Holocaust and police references to it in modern day discussions. Walz's statements were not offensive at all. Signed, granddaughter of a survivor.

The Ick descended on me mid-day Friday and won't let up. Sore throat, nasty cough, body aches. The dog isn't particularly amused since my naps and early bedtime have impacted her snack schedule. I haven't been sick in so long; I blame RTO and the nastiness that is BART.

White supremacy requires us to remain loyal to our whiteness in order to be afforded the protections of said whiteness. You stand with immigrants, Black and brown folks? You forfeit those privileges and no longer receive those protections, and you will perhaps be shot in the street as a result

"[A]s for stops of those individuals who are legally in the country, the questioning in those circumstances is typically brief [before gunshots are fired]"

The bystanders who continued to film and found their way to the right people to make statements are heroes. HEROES.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

Woke up to Noem on my TV lying again. We've all seen the videos!

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Experts who have followed authoritarian regimes abroad can tell you a lot about day-after reprisals to mass movements, which look a hell of a lot like today's killing

Cool cool I feel a cold coming on

I find GREAT meaning in my cubicle, in front if my computer helping people assert their basic rights. No birthing another human being has been necessary.

Nekima Levy Armstrong is a hero—not a goddamn criminal.

<3

this was amazing.

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

Did he get off the plane yet?

UGH they're saying it's a "small mechanical issue" UGH WHYYYYYY

There are lots of good things for housing and HUD in the appropriations bill released today. However, it's all tied together with DHS funding, and with that, I cannot abide.

HUD Budget by Major Programs is here: nlihc.org/sites/defaul...

Trump: “The fact that they had a boat land [in Greenland] 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land.” So close, so very close. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/09/t...

Scott Turner is a lying piece of shit. That is all.

Ok, are we sure that he knows that Norway and Denmark are two different countries?

Can it just happen already? I need a break.

I'm trying to sleep but the house smells way too good from the the chicken stock that is cooking in the instantpot. ungh.
