Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

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. 🧵

Trump wasn't kidding when he says his friends would get hurt if the files were released.

Bluesky is that special place where someone will take time out from serialposting about how ICE can never defeat one mid sized midwesern city to post about how ICE is going to commandeer every voting booth in the US and all is lost

Vive la France!

i think people should consider the extent to which bannon, a known bullshit artist, knows that you will see this and panic. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is one reason I keep trying to remind people of the power that we have. That we have *always* had. Not because I’m in denial, but because I know history. I’m no sophisticated intellectual, but I do know we’re going to win even though the bad shit is really terrible right now.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Bravo. There's a lot of leverage out there if you look for it.

These men are the “deep state” they keep warning the world about and lying about

With Russia limping and the Trump administration chastened by its domestic political troubles, the time is ripe for both Democrats and pro-Ukraine Republicans in Congress to seize the initiative and push for meaningful assistance to Ukraine.

ICE is demanding the employment records at a Maine jail after a sheriff openly criticized immigration agents for arresting one of his guards

A Minneapolis City Council committee delayed action Tuesday on renewing liquor licenses for two Minneapolis hotels that have housed federal immigration officers.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Veterans Affairs personnel say ‘silence is deafening’ from leaders after Alex Pretti’s death trib.al/fHrG7eY

Say what you want about Norman Finkelstein, but it's probably a good thing if you only show up in the Epstein files to say that you think Epstein should be throttled.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

A fascinating footnote

BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.

People all over Portland, Oregon were impacted by the chemical warfare deployed by the feds tonight. Here’s a thread of some Portlanders experiences who weren’t even at the protest:

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

1/ The rampant corruption of the Trump family is simply staggering:

"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...

Please take measles seriously. The Trump Regime's secret police are accelerating measles outbreaks as they kidnap and transport human beings around to play jurisdiction games with the courts. www.patreon.com/posts/103837...

People who may want to have children in the future should bear this in mind: tear gas can have serious consequences for female reproductive health. The data on this isn't great but I would at least recommend ensuring you have a quality respirator or mask on at all times.

Krasner on Wednesday is expected to be joined by eight other prosecutors from U.S. cities — including Minneapolis DA Mary Moriarty — to announce the initiative.

So the officers who executed Alex weren't new and had 10+ years of training but Democrats voted to fund ICE so they could have... MORE training?

Idk but I suspect “no concentration camps for children” might be a better electoral issue than “affordability.”

If true, this could explain a lot: Epstein’s mysterious money; the wire transactions to former Soviet states; Trump’s submissiveness around Putin.

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

Democrats have flipped eight state legislative seats in special elections during the 2025–26 cycle. Republicans have flipped none. 🟦 Texas SD-9 🟦 Mississippi SD-2 🟦 Mississippi SD-45 🟦 Iowa SD-1 🟦 Iowa SD-35 🟦 Pennsylvania SD-36 🟦 Georgia HD-121 🟦 Mississippi HD-22

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

Hmm, Paul Weiss, where have I heard that name before?

Tonight other dumb napkin cartoon…

NEW: The Justice Department published dozens of unredacted images of nude women (and possibly teens) as part of its Epstein release. The faces of those people were also left unredacted. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

Bad Bunny condemns ICE during his #GRAMMYs speech for Best Música Urbana Album: “Before I say thanks to god, I’m going to say, ICE out. We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we are humans and we are Americans.”

She is a U.S citizen‼️

Western media doggedly omits the main reason Ukraine cannot cede Donbas— it’s fortified and it’d leave Ukr too vulnerable to reinvasion. Recognizing this fact reveals that the territorial and the security guarantee issues aren’t separate but one issue. Given that Ru obviously aims to keep trying…

Horrific details have emerged about the russian drone strike on miners in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Sixteen people are now confirmed dead‼️ "The first Shahed drone hit near the bus: the driver lost control from the blast wave, and the vehicle crashed into a fence.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

My mind keeps coming back to that incident as well. The taboo on committing violence against those from whom you’ve accepted hospitality is deep and encoded cross-culturally.

They literally should be cutting him off and correcting him

Liam and his family are here legally. This whole horrible episode was simply state violence by Trump’s criminal administration aimed at terrorizing non white communities.

Keith Ellison: "The president is openly promoting authoritarianism and tyranny. That is what's happening in America. Most of us thought we would never see it, but here it is right in front of our eyes."
