BOISE: WE RIDE IN UNITY FOR ALL FOR ALEX Saturday, January 31st 3:00 meet - 3:30 ride Meet at Boise Bicycle Project 1027 S Lusk St

Federal judge in Minnesota today: ICE has violated AT LEAST 96 court orders in 2026 alone. "This should give pause to anyone...ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I just visited Liam and his father. I also met with countless more children and families who have done nothing wrong and should not be detained. My full update on visiting the Dilley detention center: youtu.be/j9FcMwyWN2I?...

Our country is going through a mass effort at ethnic cleansing, and we need to get into the practice of saying that out loud.

Good news. Basic rule of law holds on again. I hope the 100 or so folks Trump goons already rounded up SUE!

At least 9 ICE murders in January, so far www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/...

1970, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, "Ohio." 2026, Bruce Springsteen, "Streets of Minneapolis." This is true patriotism.

More Trump chaos in Minneapolis today. Get ICE OUT of our cities and towns.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Law enforcement is keeping details under wraps, but here's what we know so far:

Italy is upset and they have every right to be. This is disgusting ‘A militia that kills’: uproar in Italy over ICE security role at Winter Olympics Milan’s mayor says agents ‘clearly not welcome’ in co-host city and that Italy can take care of security itself www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Americans take note: the government can just do this. It'll be fine.

"reminiscent of World War II military apparel" While NYT sheepishly beats around the bush, the Germans call a spade a spade: -- @afarrand.bsky.social‬

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Concentration camp victims protest! The incredible bravery and fortitude and care involved in doing this ✊🏽 ‘some of them holding signs that included “Libertad para los niños,” or “Liberty for the kids.”‘

Unless it’s the right kind of victim, the story won’t be viral Dozens of immigrants have died in 🧊 custody Do not lose sight of what needs to change in this country. Learn about white supremacy. Do your part to deconstruct it. Especially in yourself It plagues every institution. Especially media

Portrait of Alex Pretti defending his city

We are heartbroken and outraged to learn of the murder of our union sibling, Alex Pretti, by federal agents today in Minneapolis.

The United States of GoFundMe. GoFundMe to help pay for healthcare. GoFundMe to help pay for rent. GoFundMe to help pay for being abducted by ICE.

WHO removing Us Flag

They use these on ICE flights, too.

It's projection.

Spraying pepper spray directly into the eyes of a detained person who’s already fully subdued

a bit galling when AI bots ask me to verify that I'M human

Story about ongoing success of refugee resettlement in Twin Falls, Idaho, where people resent Trump's attacks and actually don't really give a shit about his white South African friends. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/u... (🎁)

Sue them as much as possible.

Really good, detailed list from Massachusetts... cc @idaho50501.bsky.social @idahodems.bsky.social for anything practical here, ie, unmasking, data privacy, protect Idaho courthouses, etc.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model. ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

ICE has become a jobs program for racist, violent people.

Abnormal shit.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Important context in this piece: migration is part of the civil rights project and this government is taking us back to the 1920s.

LIVE hearing on ICE abuses in Minnesota: www.youtube.com/live/bfVji76... "Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump's Deadly Assault on Minnesota"

"I started repeating, I'm a citizen, I'm a citizen. ICE didn't even look at my ID. He said that doesn't matter. My boss came out with my passport and held it up to the agent's windshield. He ignored it and drove away. They forced me to do a face scan. They told me I was being deported."

"The US Holocaust Memorial Museum is clear on what defines a concentration camp: It’s a place where people are taken against their will (check), outside the bounds of the normal legal system (check), deprived of due process (check), and subjected repeatedly to cruel and inhumane treatment (check)."

I’m one of the ProPublica reporters who has been documenting the aggressive tactics federal agents are using against immigrants & U.S. citizens All eyes are on Minnesota right now, but I want to tell you about Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-YO citizen in Houston who was choked by immigration agents in October
