It's *almost* like this whole "pro life" thing is utter bullshit. Pro-forced birth, but kids mean NOTHING to them, whether gunned down in schools or kidnapped by ICE.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Today, @freepress.bsky.social launched COMPLICIT: Corporate Media’s Capitulation to Trump’s Attacks on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Our report makes it clear that corporate media is failing to stand up for democracy. www.freepress.net/news/compreh...

1/21/2026 - Minneapolis Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

Today @rlivier.bsky.social @freepress.bsky.social releases new research showing that every major U.S. media and tech company (except one) has eliminated or backpedaled on commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion in the face of Trump administration threats. www.freepress.net/policy-libra...

COMPLICIT: Corporate Media’s Capitulation to Trump’s Attacks on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is launched. @rlivier.bsky.social's report sheds new light on the ongoing capitulation to the dictates of a bigoted and corrupt Trump administration. Find it here: www.freepress.net/policy-libra...

Crucial new report from my colleague @rlivier.bsky.social @freepress.bsky.social detailing the cowardice and capitulation of our biggest media companies that have abandoned diversity, equity and inclusion to appease the Trump administration.

Yes, because these are death camps.

In Louisiana, an ICE officer named David Courvelle has pleaded guilty on charges related to his monthslong sexual abuse of a Nicaraguan woman held in a detention center. www.wbrz.com/news/contrac...

An immigrant in ICE custody was murdered by prison staff. Accountably is at risk because it happened at a private facility, which it is not subject to FOIA. Use our tool to tell Congress to apply FOIA to private prisons: freedom.press/issues/safeg...

Arlit Maria Martinez is a mother of 4. Her son, Kevin, died of cancer while she was in ICE custody. ICE refused her request to be at Kevin's side in his final moments. They must let her attend Kevin’s memorial. Arlit, I hope you hear how many patriots stand with you.

Man detained in Minneapolis dies in ICE custody in Texas www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Rest in peace Victor Manuel Diaz. He was a Latino immigrant kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. He died in ICE custody at Camp East Montana, Texas while facing deportation. We have unjust immigration system that continues to take the lives of our neighbors while tearing families apart. 1/

The FAA has warned U.S. airlines to exercise caution when flying over parts of Mexico, Central America and South America due to a “potentially hazardous situation.”

It's important to keep pointing out that what's happening today was predictable. Elected officials who act like there's some route for reform - to justify their votes to keep funding this - can't ever again be allowed to say they didn't know what would happen. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

"He said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, 'No puedo respirar' — Spanish for 'I can’t breathe'..." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

“A sanctuary policy commits an institution, where it has a legal choice, to decline to assist federal immigration enforcement efforts. This is the bare minimum: refusing voluntary complicity. The University of California (UC) has not adopted this basic principle. It should.”

Before the House today, Chairman Carr hems and haws about whether FCC has authority to waive national broadcast cap. Carr says they are "looking into it" rather than answering this simple question from Rep. Pallone. (Easy answer: they don't). energycommerce.house.gov/events/c-and...

YES, this. How many years did these same orgs refuse to call a lie a lie, and then all we have are lies and they're like ... why does no one trust us? It's not some failure of middle-school civics teachers. People hate being lied to maybe hate it more when you know it's a lie but refuse to say so.

So, where are the Epstein Files?

The fact that US mainstream press simply will not name an unlawful act as what it is continues to provide cover for authoritarianism in the US and abroad. It isn’t objectivity — it’s complicity.

This is something else. Lots of respect for @60minutes.bsky.social reporter Sharyn Alfonso for defending the integrity of her work. What a disgrace for 60 Minutes. The Trump effect destroys every institution it touches. GIFT LINK: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

ICE agents are now stationed inside U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices, detaining spouses of U.S. citizens moments after interviews—for visa overstays caused by agency delays. This is Project 2025 in practice: turning the USCIS into an enforcement zone. Read our weekly updates:

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

BREAKING: Our opposition and upset over Jimmy Kimmel being taken off air have led to Kimmel coming back. Let's organize that much noise for reporters like Mario Guevara detained (despite being here legally) for filming police & ICE:

ICYMI Free Press team built a tool that makes it easy to find your local ABC affiliate station and its phone number. Give them a call! We need to let these companies and the Federal Censorship Commission know that we've had enough of their capitulation, cowardice and corruption.

At DOJ, at DOD, at the FBI….literally everywhere, this is what you hear over and over again.

"Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948)". Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, genocide scholars' association says - www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Community members, immigrant rights organizations and LAUSD teachers continue to demand the immediate release of 18-year-old Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero-Cruz, who was detained by federal agents in Van Nuys almost two weeks ago.

As Nexstar's unlawful acquisition of TEGNA makes headlines, we're reminded of what's at stake. A cartel of billionaires and conglomerates dominate our media landscape through mergers and acquisitions. They concentrate control over what we see, read & hear. Free Press is tracking it all. A 🧵...

There needs to be a congressional investigation into ICE and its practices. The agency needs to be completely dissolved and its agents and officers need to be prosecuted for any and all crimes committed.

Jeffries isn't the one. He proves it again. The Democratic leadership needs to go. The party has its lowest rating in modern history because of these cowards who bend the knee to corporate donors Mamdani is going to win & they're all gonna look weak. Also he lives in a rent stabilized apartment.

The man convicted of 34 felonies is trying to educate us about crime? Did we get that right?

The basement is sub-basement. This is unacceptable. For press freedom. For the reporters who lost their lives. The truth that has been recast so grossly to frame these people as terrorists, simply for doing their jobs of shedding light on what is happening in Gaza. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Undocumented immigrants aren’t showing up to work because they face a double threat: 📌 ICE could roll up to the job site, because it’s easier to target hardworking people than go after real criminals. 📌 When the work’s done, some employers refuse to pay and threaten to call ICE.

My 1st @netrootsnation.bsky.social conference has been an invigorating experience! A community coming together to continue building our movement against authoritarianism. Amazing speakers: K Crenshaw, D Huerta, B O’Rourke, the list goes on! Proud to represent @freepress.bsky.social #NN25

The FBI has no business—or legal authority—to track down Texas House Democrats. The list of people willing to abuse their power to help Trump steal five congressional seats is growing. It’s a threat to the rule of law and our democracy. www.expressnews.com/politics/tex...

The Future of Freedom campaign continues to provide community resources, including actionable guides in English and Spanish, from civil right experts fighting for our democracy. Find those and much more from @attorneynora.bsky.social and @rlivier.bsky.social: www.freepress.net/future-freed...

Every day, the Trump regime deploys strategies from the authoritarian playbook in its aggressive attempt to dismantle our democracy. Free Press's NEW resource guide from @rlivier.bsky.social, "Organizing Against Authoritarianism", is our response. You need this: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I am honored to announce the release of groundbreaking @freepress.bsky.social research & analysis with our inaugural "Media Capitulation Index" which examines how major corporate media companies are bending the knee to Trump & those in power. Check out the rankings & @timkarr.bsky.social analysis:

Finally, read the accompanying paper, which analyzes the ways that America's fourth estate is systemically failing to defend democracy and a free press against political thuggery. Let me know what you think!! 4/ends www.freepress.net/sites/defaul...

"Media capitulation is a slippery slope. Once owners compromise their companies’ editorial independence — once they step across the line into compliance — the temptation to cave further to official pressure grows even stronger." My statement at launch of the Media Capitulation Index...

This map will show you ICE sightings and abductions from *today*. A lot of activity in Cypress Park/Eagle Rock, including a mass abduction at Home Depot. padlet.com/PeopleoverPa...

Neo-Nazi “Youth Clubs” are forming across the U.S., targeting boys aged 15 to 18 with white supremacist propaganda, MMA training, and recruitment tactics modeled after the violent Active Club network. Active in at least 42 states, the movement is spreading both online and offline.
