The overflow room at the Surprise City Council meeting has also filled up (it has a 500 person capacity). I can’t tell how many are still outside but we can hear them chanting “ICE out” in here so it seems like quite a lot.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

"Photographic evidence from the shooting scene of a Venezuelan man by federal agents last month in Minneapolis supports the account of witnesses there – and appears to undercut the narrative provided by federal officials." www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

They just blindly shot through the fucking door. "Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

Always remember. Not defeating Russia is a choice that Europeans and Americans are making. Nothing more, nothing less.

🧵 At 3pm ET today, I'll be live-posting highlights from the public forum for @lawfaremedia.org. This will some witnesses' very first public appearance and the only one for Brent and Luke Ganger, who do not plan to do any additional interviews. Follow this thread for updates as they happen 🧵👇

This woman has shown more courage than the nominal leaders of the Democratic Party.

We need to listen carefully and listen closely. Trump is telegraphing his playbook to steal the 2026 elections. Here’s how he will do it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Gavin Newsom: “We were down at the Democracy Center in Little Tokyo — Greg Bovino was out there trying to intimidate people from walking in. We said that was a preview of things to come as well — this is a guy who literally goes on eBay & tries to find 1930s outfits”

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

ICE agents leaving behind “death cards” in the cars of people who they’ve detained is cruel for the sake of being cruel. We need an immediate investigation and a total overhaul of this agency.

We heard from victims of ICE’s brutality today. Their stories make it clear that this lawless police force needs a top-to-bottom overhaul.

SEN. @hickenlooper.senate.gov : “Death cards left behind by ICE agents — cards with white supremacist history left in detained immigrants' abandoned cars… Imagine finding your brother's empty car with one of these in the driver's seat. Cruelty for the sake of cruelty." (H/T @lulacorg.bsky.social )

The French investigators said the search of X’s premises was part of an investigation opened last year into X’s alleged algorithmic biases.

Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen. #FundHealthcareOverICE Let’s unite in compassion

I keep thinking about how some of these people really don’t think it will cause lots of people to die but many of them actually do and want that because they’re eugenicists

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. You suckers

Epstein is being described by the Polish PM as a possible Russian spy. If so, it would explain a great deal. All the Epstein “evidence” would actually be kompromat taking in the rich and powerful to serve Kremlin interests. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Donald Trump has been telling us that if he doesn't like the outcome of the elections he will seize ballots. He wants Republicans to take control of voting. He wants to take over elections in Democratic states. People should be concerned and we all need to be ready.

This testimony is so powerful and gut-wrenching. God bless this woman for what she went through. ICE MUST GO‼️

This timeline is soul-destroying. Can we skip to the part where Trump flees to Russia? Better yet, can we fast-forward to the bit where Putin kills himself in the bunker?

I wrote about Minnesota and ICE and how average Americans are reclaiming the power that the administration is abusing. www.pbump.net/o/this-is-wh...

NEW: Letitia James, the New York attorney general, announced that her office will deploy "legal observers" to document ICE activity in NY. Her office says the effort is the first of its kind by an AG. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/n...

This is good.

Gabbard held this up for 8 months with a truckload of excuses from executive privilege to "It's too classified for Congress." They have FINALLY transmitted the whistleblower report to Congress. www.cbsnews.com/news/intelli...

I have stopped my thread at 20 for now. Thanks to all who contributed. The focus is on academics who sought promotion by, accepted money from, maintained direct interaction with Jeffrey Epstein well after his 2008 conviction. External link—shareable & easier to read: skyview.social?url=https%3A...

She is a Bangladeshi-American, a person with autism, a US citizen, and a person of courage. Watch it.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

Steve Bannon says they’re going to “have ICE surround the polls” in November. (They don’t have enough people to do that everywhere, but they could target select locations.)

Isn’t that a US standing army? They are certainly not law enforcement. The whole fraud now plus Biden-stole-the-election narrative is utter BS.

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll. And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration. This is digging deep into Trump's base. We detail these numbers on today's pod: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

It’s important to realize that the subtext of Trump freaking out at Kaitlan Collins when she asks him what he’d say to the Epstein survivors is that she may in practice be asking what he’d say to the *Trump* survivors, and they both know that. A well worded question

Trump's lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board backfires with latest subpoenas www.alternet.org/trump-russia...

"Our era—Trump’s era—is an unfortunate one in the history of the American republic. It’s a dangerous one. And let’s be honest, it’s a disgraceful one." www.thebulwark.com/p/10-years-o...

A Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Minneapolis is really a recognition of people power and it’s the first time a whole city has been put forward for the prize.

Well, my fellow Maine voters. Here is Susan Collins today paying tribute to her boss while holding her MAGA hat.

Let's face it. Trump consensually having gay sex with an adult would probably damage Trump more with Republicans than him raping children with Epstein. This is where we are at in America. Republicans are perfectly fine with having a child rapist in the White House.

Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal, is referenced at least 140 times in emails exchanged with Epstein and his associates. In one email exchange, Musk's brother was set up with one of Epstein's "girls" and warned not to harm her.

Jennifer Kalin allegedly received a $7 million settlement from Deutsche Bank after claiming she was abused by Epstein for 15 years. So Epstein set Musk's brother up with one of the Epstein child rape victims.

Kimbal is the brother of Elon Musk. In this 2012 email chain, Kimbal is warned not to harm Epstein’s “girl” identified as Jennifer Kalin. Kimbal agrees and says he's enjoying his time with her. Kalin's attorney said she was "enslaved in Epstein's sex-trafficking organization for 13 years"

Study their contacts and ideological alignments, and whom they threaten, and whom they buy, and whom they empower and why.

Between Putin and Trump, a similarity born of hatred, contempt and revisionism

ICE is not law enforcement. It is not operating under the US Constitution.

The heroes of the next decade will be lawyers and civic figures who urge prosecution of the MAGA-cult in court. There will have to be a period of detrumpization. Those who are not scared of what comes next. Thousands of lawsuits, millions of documents, against every lie told.

Are we great yet? www.statnews.com/2026/02/03/i...

This is insane. ICE is out of control here, still. They must leave.
