NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure. Her whereabouts & health are now unknown. The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

DID YOU KNOW? If you have Delta Sky Miles, you can donate them to help a kidnapped-and-released person fly home! They are set free on the streets of El Paso or another Texas town with no phone, no money, nothing at all. Your miles can get them back to their loved ones!

The first person I donated miles for is safely home. That's a good feeling.

Reminder that children, elders and immunocompromised folks etc implicated by their bringing this plague to DC certainly don’t have a fucking choice about this at all.

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May 2025)

The Muppet Show on Disney+ is a beautiful distraction from the dumpster fire we keep wading through.

Annoyingly, this doesn’t specify what exactly is happening. But it sure seems like DHS filed a “motion to pretermit” the asylum application. Which it is doing in countless cases around the country. There’s been a little reporting on this; there needs to be a bunch more. I’m working a piece myself.

WATCH: @RepJamesComer 🤡 hilariously says “this is a serious investigation” as he refuses to let the Clintons testify in public about Epstein — and won’t even bring in others like Trump, who is mentioned more times in the files than Harry Potter in all 7 books 😕🤷🏼

I would also like to know the answer to this question!

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Seems real bad that the end point of ~25 years of War on Terror architecture is an agency of thin-skinned goons who will send armed men to your house if you email the government asking for compassion on behalf of someone else. newrepublic.com/post/206088/...

Sick of this dystopian tech overlord men with no panache and bad haircuts enabling a pants shitting president and bald hitler wannabe trying to undo things that can’t be undone ass reality we are living. They are so tedious and venal. It’s galling.

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

Lmao no buddy that's literally the opposite reason why the House exists. They represent the taxpayers of congressional districts and speak and vote on behalf of the people in those districts. Your job is not to be told the old rapist needs my money to jerk off in a ballroom

Trump endorsed the loser and sent three posts in the days ahead of the election backing the loser. See: bsky.app/profile/chri...

liam and his dad are home! and someone please get rep. castro a coat!

🧪Before the day begins, meerkats share a unique ritual. After emerging from their burrows, they spend up to an hour "sunning" to warm up for the day. During this quiet time, they produce soft, tonal "sunning calls". Just standing, sunbathing, and calling. But why❓ #bioacoustics #meerkats #kalahari

Glad the files are coming out. Otherwise we would’ve had to believe these women.

A bunch of benetties, phenoms, and maybachs are about to go to auction.

ICYMI, Rice University students have developed a free online map to track ICE activity throughout the country. Find it here: www.icemap.dev. Gift link to @houstonchronicle.com story about it: www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

This post is blowing up, so for all the big name journos sharing it, some context: This was a rally in Chicago explicitly calling for ICE to be abolished, and for a mass general strike to counter the Trump admin's continous attacks on our communities and civil liberties.

🗺️ Fear in Houston led to something bigger: bit.ly/4c1sk0t A Rice University project is now tracking ICE activity nationwide.

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!"

It's never been about immigration. It's only ever been about ethnic cleansing.

In Texas, the prison system literally pays more for goods that prisoners produce SO THAT they can continue to produce them with slave labor. There's no cost benefit analysis that justifies it. They just think slave labor is an inherent good and are willing to pay extra to deploy it.

Camp East Montana A tent city hell in the desert that will live on in shame for as long as there is American history. And thank you to @scrippsnews.bsky.social for staying on this story, when the Trump regime is counting on us not to care about people like Geraldo Lunas Campos.

Can you imagine trying to learn when your classmates and their parents are disappearing? All of these kids are going to carry trauma for life.

At the Topography of Terror museum in Berlin, they lay out step by step how the Nazis rose to power, from the beginning. One of the things that stuck with me was a note that they systematically rewarded cruelty and punished empathy as "weakness." Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

ICYMI this explains so much: Donald Trump doesn’t need to destroy the court system to get his way, Aziz Huq writes. He just needs to create a shadow zone where the law no longer applies. Welcome to America’s “prerogative state”:

Homan’s message was crystal clear: Unless Miller, Noem and Homan go the problem will remain, our rights will be trampled, innocent people will suffer and die. They don’t feel any remorse or regret for the pain they have inflicted, the damage they have done.

Jailing and executing people for profit seems to be the focus of the American government right now.

Incredible self own for the US. The damage being done to the US scientific enterprise is generational. We will look back on this as a tipping point where the US chose all on its own to stop leading the world in science. www.science.org/content/arti...

Free Liam, and his father.

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island). The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

This judge says: - refugees must be released in the next 5 days - Returned to Minnesota. Not released onto the streets of Texas, which is what's been happening. - ICE must alert the refugees' lawyers so they aren't released into dangerous cold without someone to meet them

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

"The world is violent & mercurial—it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love—love for each other & the love we pour into the art we feel compelled to share.... We live in a perpetually burning building, & what we must save from it, all the time, is love." -Tennessee Williams

Odd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience. Here's CBS's new Ukraine correspondent. Graduated college less than a year ago. Yale Rugby. Only job: 7 months freelancing. 1/
