The ICE surge in Minnesota isn’t over — it just moved outside of the Metro. ICE agents are still terrorizing innocent people in the suburbs. They’re targeting bus stops and hospitals and parks and being more deceptive than ever. This isn’t over until ICE is out of the ENTIRE state.

President Donald Trump lashed out on Friday at the U.S. Supreme Court and the six justices who struck down his signature global tariffs - including two he appointed - in remarkably personal terms while hailing the three justices who backed him.

And here's the NYTimes piece on the subject. The MAHA Moms: “There is a level of anger and frustration like I’ve never witnessed before,” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/u...

The absolute arrogance.

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it. Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

There’s a seven year old boy hospitalized in Greenville, South Carolina with measles encephalitis. He can’t walk or talk or feed himself. This didn’t have to happen. Please vaccinate.

Dr. Rümeysa Öztürk is using her experience of being unlawfully arrested and detained by ICE to advocate for children facing human-made trauma, including children in ICE detention and living under conflict.

“Four of the top 10 ICE contractors have seen their ICE revenues more than triple.” @schwellenbach.bsky.social and his colleagues at @pogo.org are doing great work reporting on ICE’s No. 1 contractor, CSI Aviation. www.pogo.org/investigates...

absolutely

Value of the dollar went down and cost of living went up so much so that a lifestyle on a salary of 80k in 1990's would now take $260k per year to maintain, a 3.25-fold cost hike. From Trump, we are getting braggathon, deflections and lies. No, it is NOT a 'great economy'. #TrumpAffordabilityChaos

I'm old enough to remember being sued by a dumb dumb who claimed @nunesalt.bsky.social and I were part of a conspiracy doing these things. And then the dumb dumb became CEO of a company that does.

not a novel observation but worth repeating every time - there are basically half a dozen things a day, every day, that would have been the biggest scandal of every administration for the first 30 years of my life.

Former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested by U.K. police Are there lessons to be learned here for other countries? www.cbc.ca/news/livesto...

Jeffrey Epstein had the means to commit his heinous crimes because of the financial support of Les Wexner. Oversight Democrats will make sure that he and any person connected to Epstein, is held accountable.

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund. Quite a return on investment, huh?

“I do not believe when Mr. Wexner says that he did not have a personal relationship or a friendly relationship" with Jeffrey Epstein, Rep. Robert Garcia said. He also sharply criticized the DOJ after Wexner stated he has not been contacted by the FBI. "What the hell is going on? That is shameful.”

ICE’s terror is traumatizing our kids. Take a look at what these parents had to say.

Monstrously evil. Abolish ICE. Melt down its weapons and sell off all of its assets. Release everyone from its concentration camps and grant citizenship (if they want it) to everyone whose rights it has violated.

"An Associated Press reporter was beaten by the police and detained along with three other journalists on Tuesday in Cameroon while reporting on a secretive Trump administration program to deport migrants to the Central African country, according to two of the people detained." (gift link)

If voters had understood, truly understood, that Trump wanted to impose a tax hike bigger than any since 1993, in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, would they have made the same decision?” www.editorialboard.com/why-isnt-the... @editorialboard.bsky.social

Rep Ted Lieu says Trump’s name is in the Epstein Files “thousands of times” and includes multiple allegations of Child SA and death threats! He needs to be impeached immediately!!!

Host: "Anger over Pretti's death and the killing of Renee Good has catalyzed state lawmakers to take matters into their own hands. A new bill introduced today would allow US citizens to sue ICE agents if their constitutional rights are violated." #Sheshed

"The findings suggest that White Americans who perceive themselves as ranking at the bottom of the racial economic hierarchy—specifically those who feel tied with Black Americans—were the most likely to support Donald Trump."

Bondi committed perjury. She said there was no evidence Trump did anything wrong. Yet the FBI spoke with 2 survivors: One accused Trump of violently assaulting her and the 2nd was used as a government witness against Maxwell. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 newrepublic.com/post/206599/...

A sick 2-month-old baby dumped back into danger with his terrified mother. They were practically abandoned with commissary scraps and a stranger’s phone to beg for help. If Juan Nicolás doesn’t break your heart, ask when we decided babies were expendable for politics. DHS=Deliberate Cruelty

Fuck everyone involved in ice

Ending 287(g) deals between local police and ICE isn’t radical - it’s NECESSARY. Courts found 4,421+ illegal ICE detentions since Oct 2025. Due process exists because power gets abused. Maryland chose the Constitution over chaos. This is why state & local elections matter.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

At the same Texas concentration camp: “There were children in Dilley who were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, several mothers told me. Recently, two cases of measles were discovered in the center.“ Extreme child abuse as state policy. www.propublica.org/article/life...

As a survivor of horrific abuse myself, it's stunning to me the ease at which so many participate, look away, or just move on! SICK! There's a petition out there to get more of the monsters of the Epstein-Trump horror show in front of Congress and the world. www.change.org/Justice4Surv...
