What has it really been like to experience the ICE terror campaign in Minneapolis? Do not miss these perspectives from postal workers, nurses, chefs, and journalists who grew up there—a tour de force of vivid reporting from our CIR colleagues on @revealnews.org revealnews.org/podcast/minn...

excellent column. A lot to think about. One of Mejia's points: secure borders and abolish ICE can go hand in hand.

10/ We’re not done reporting. Please get in touch with us via Signal at 917-512-0201 if you or someone you know: • Has worked at an immigration detention facility • Has been detained at such a facility • Has info about the companies contracted to build and provide services

Luis A. Ubiñas is Chairman of the Statue of Liberty – Ellis Island Foundation. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of AT&T. AT&T has a contract to provide IT for ICE, current expiration date is Sept 2025. But contract can be extended. Quite the combination.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

ICE detained multiple kids (all under the age of 10!) in the last week alone. Still kidnapping people based solely on the way they look. Still arresting parents at school pick up. Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin won’t change that. ICE leaving will.

Ms. Rahman’s powerful testimony explicitly places her experiences within the long pattern of both ICE and police violence against Americans

Seriously, it shouldn't be hard to identify the other reporters in the Oval Office and to ask them why they remain silent when the president of the United States verbally attacks one of their colleagues.

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism Again, you don’t have to believe me. You can just listen to the guy who literally invented the concept:

Have same drawer. Always a source of emotional sustenance.

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

Standing with 65 of my UMN Law colleagues (and counting) to condemn ICE’s lawless conduct towards Minnesotans: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Maybe this spring there will be a national hiking day in memory of Alex Pretti.

You can complain about Schumer and Jeffries and the way they have utterly failed to meet the moment, but credit, too, to New York for providing two of the most insightful, outspoken pols of our day, Mamdani and AOC.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians: ‘Jannik Sinner appeared to win the French Open yesterday after what supporters say was a comeback from being two sets down.’

Will candidates commit to 1. investigate and prosecute criminal misconduct by ICE and others 2. abolish ICE. 3. establish Federal fund to compensate 1000s of people whose constitutional rights have been violated 4. build national memorial to remember the brave people killed by ICE

The left didn’t make the men you ordered to occupy the city for no reason shoot a man in the back. The left didn’t tell a bunch of masked armed yahoos that they had “total immunity” and you would let them get away with murder if it came to that.

This mirrors the analysis of the vast majority of historians and political scientists who have studied authoritarianism elsewhere. Successful authoritarians still need to look at polls. They still worry about popular opinion. Trump has authoritarian ambitions; he doesn't have the skills.

Sunday in Connecticut.

Wondering whether international pressure on US will start in earnest, on World Cup and other stuff.

Government agents committed a barbaric, extrajudicial killing on an American street in front of witnesses whom they also harmed. WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS? Why aren’t they standing, physically, w/ the brave citizens of Minneapolis? Any city may be next. Leaders should lead. At least follow the brave.

for sure, but this obviously goes well beyond the ICE murderer who pulled the trigger. there is culpability all the way to the white house. and the culture of elite impunity in this country has to end now.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Amazing analysis

nine years old

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Homeland Security is protecting us from roofers, doctors, cooks, musicians and the lady who gives your elderly mom a bath.

Is this what they have workshops on at the boss conference? How to Minimize Accountability on Zoom? 🙄

Oh my God.

Hey, @uconn.bsky.social, can we discuss the minimum requirements for you to call something a "Town Hall"? This doesn't cut it: "participants will not be able to ask questions verbally or receive live responses during the session....[but] are welcome to submit questions via the chat feature"

Here is the CBS Sunday Morning piece for which I was interviewed about findings from my book Coverage Denied. Health insurance barriers ration health care by inconvenience, imposing hurdles to get prescribed care with administratively burdensome appeals many can’t navigate. youtu.be/SRPOoPDN-7w?...

Will @washingtonpost.com columnists now defend Federal search of WaPo reporter's home?

When the story is written, one chapter will be how the people of Minneapolis stood tall and mighty.

mainline clergy acquitting themselves very well lately

This is a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects people from unreasonable searches and unlawful entry. Nuremberg trials 2.0 will be required after this administration. History shows that systemic abuses carried out under the excuse of “just following orders” are still crimes.

The video then shows an administrative warrant, which does not authorize kicking down a door or forcefully entering a home. That requires a judicial warrant signed by a judge.

Thank you to The Tennessee Holler for covering what’s happening when much of the media isn’t. They shared video showing a door being kicked in by ICE agents and agents refusing to produce a warrant when asked. Guns drawn and kids in the house.

Teyana Taylor cries as she accepts her first Golden Globe for ‘ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER’: “To my brown sisters & little brown girls watching tonight… We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter, our dreams deserve space” #TeyanaTaylor #OneBattleAfterAnother #GoldenGlobes2026

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks: - Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela - ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota - Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally - Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Awful, but why is Trump considering war over this? By what right? For whose interests? How many more civilians would likely be killed in what a war would unleash? Where was Trump (and Biden before him) when Israel was killing over 20,000 Palestinian kids? wapo.st/4sB8Sxo

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

Dear @nytimes.com, WE HEARD YOU, YOU INTERVIEWED TRUMP. You can move on to actual news already.

Great question
