So he's stealing our money, while also naming his new Axis of Evil in the most Orwellian inversion ever.

$413,000 per bed. Insanity. While they cut health care, food assistance, etc.

Let me explain what this genuinely EVIL memo does. The admin is doubling down on its plan to arrest, detain, and interrogate tens of thousands of legally present refugees; people already vetted who’ve lived here legally for 1+ year. Hundreds were arrested in Minnesota before a court blocked this.

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

is the problem really that lefties aren't enthusiastic about technology, or is the problem that "technology" has broadly lost its valence as an apolitical and universally positive force in public life, and must now be re-justified through a culture war lens?

Scoop: Ring's CEO told staff Search Party is not going to be just for dogs, according to a leaked email I obtained. Said it is "first for finding dogs" before suggesting it would be expanded to be used for crime: www.404media.co/leaked-email...

I better never get the opportunity to kick Susan Collins in the head, because I would take it.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

More unnecessary stupidity from ICE, resulting in the death of an innocent person.

A good answer here would be "No, I do not think President Trump is racist. I observe that he is racist."

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

You aren't going to believe what's coming out about this ICE warehouse in Georgia!

And it begins - the #EpsteinFiles Analysis.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Maybe just for once, we could give the benefit of the doubt to the Cassandras who have been right about everything, rather than the Nazis gaslighters who complained about being called Nazis, while throwing Nazi salutes in public, posting Nazi propaganda, wearing Nazi regalia…

It's unchartered, but we can see the terrain: the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps but not new vaccines. That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people, all of them deranged and malicious, control over $3 trillion.

Knitting 2 things together here. Andrea Pritzer reminding us that Dachau was an ordinary little town before it’s name became synonymous with “Nazi death camp.” Don’t let your town become an American Dachau. lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/b0...

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Started my seeds today. This is a compromise between what the Almanac says is suitable, & what I can psychologically handle when the nighttime temps were still in the 20s last week. As a Yankee, I don't think I will ever get used to the idea that Spring is only really 2.5 weeks long in Georgia.

This is what authoritarians are never gonna understand: average, everyday citizens do not like watching paramilitary thugs brutalize children. All the vaporware memes in the world can't fix that for them

A reminder this happened earlier this week at Trump’s massive concentration camp in El Paso: “The cases of tuberculosis and COVID-19, two diseases that spread through the air, have underscored concern about the conditions at Camp East Montana and other immigration detention centers.“

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data. Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

🚨ICE just got access to one of its biggest private detention center operators last night, thanks to a Navy contract. The move lets ICE bypass normal contracting processes to tap GEO Group to operate its detention centers as they race to buy detention sites to house 92,000 detainees nationwide.

In other words, the vast majority of the $45 billion in reconciliation funding is going to go to the new system of warehouse detention camps. The other $6.8 billion will presumably serve mainly to keep the existing system of detention running without any other major changes.

no one ever asked republicans for specific details on how “mass deportations” would work and now here we are

Someone else's "lost my cat in my own house" post reminded me of the PANIC we went through when our own cat magically disappeared on the day we were scheduled to MOVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. Everything except what we were taking on the airplane was packed in a moving truck. The house was EMPTY.

Internal Revenue Service improperly shared confidential tax information of thousands of individuals with immigration enforcement officials, according to three people familiar with the situation, appearing to breach a legal fire wall intended to protect taxpayer data.

NEW: SSA has been told to tell ICE the "date and time" when certain people have appointments, likely subjecting those people to ICE enforcement actions when they come in. @zoeschiffer.bsky.social, @telliotter.bsky.social, & @leahfeiger.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/social...

Uhh... wtf.

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked

For context, $38 BILLION would cover one full year's extension of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies that ended Dec 31. The current administration's priorities are quite clear: jail brown people (many of whom prove to be legally in the U.S.) + leave more Americans without healthcare.

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated. The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t... (Is NY Gov Hochul paying attention?)

But if you read the Times' journalism, the idea that corruption is directly and documentably responsible for most U.S. dysfunction (health care, climate, guns, enshittification), is largely absent. Usually the dysfunction is blamed on ambiguous, causation-free "partisan animus" and "tribalism"

My first procedure is next week! If you got some change to throw around, help me pay the people who are going to kill the bacteria colonies in my gums. gofund.me/e7a482f35

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

Sounds like some people at the FAA saved a lot of lives today. Calling for a ten-day closure was astute. It meant this incident was not going to be swept under the rug. @apnews.com has six bylines on this story with several listed as contributors. Thanks, AP!

Minnesota still needs your attention

“In crafting a potential deal, Democrats would be wise to keep in mind two principles. First, whatever specific reforms they can obtain are useless without enforcement in a regime that brazenly breaks the law.

But more money 'n' training will fix 'em, amirite

The numbers speak for themselves

New Epstein documents undercut Howard Lutnick’s claims about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. @cheetah.bsky.social reports on the fallout, and why it’s unlikely to cost the Commerce secretary his job.

a new cartoon, for the romantics among you www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Maybe the giant surveillance police state is doing more to harm us, than it is to keep us safe…

Don’t believe any of the lies that ICE is drawing down or de-escalating in Minnesota. It’s empty rhetoric. Congress needs to defund & dismantle ICE. There were already standards & laws they aren’t abiding by. More won’t change a thing without consequences.

I hope ProPublica keeps going to visit the children in detention. We cannot forget or forgive what’s being done to them.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

“Lying in feces, throw up, urine… like animals in a cage at the zoo.” A whistleblower recounts the horrific ICE detention center conditions in Baltimore — a similar story everywhere.
