Operation PARRIS is one of the most heinous things this administration has done yet. Trump’s people ordered ICE to round up 5,600 legally present refugees, people who have done NOTHING wrong, with no warning, and jailed them in Texas to be interrogated about their status.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Zero dignity opposition party. You can be there yelling or you can be absent but there is no honor in this nonsense civility show. I swear they'd attend their own executions politely

Never been to Lynnwood, but all this good city council news crossing my feed this week. Congrats, residents of Lynnwood!

The stories in here of what DHS officers are doing to children who are still making the journey to the southern border to seek protection is appalling. One teenager says he was threatened with "a dog and a stun gun" into signing away his right to seek protection in the United States

I think two things can be true at once. You can acknowledge that neurodivergence and mental illness deserves grace, while also acknowledging that you are not obligated to accept hurtful treatment. As a neurodivergent and mentally ill person, I understand that I don’t get a free pass to hurt people.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

And definitely more of this.

That's fucked up.

Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital halts mass eviction after London Centric uncovered what was going on. Hundreds of Londoners now receiving bizarre door-to-door visits blaming misinformation and being asked to record videos saying they don't want to be evicted. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

The only passenger in the car when an ICE officer shot and killed a U.S. citizen in Texas last year had planned to speak up and contradict the government’s account of the shooting. But the passenger, Joshua Orta, died in an unrelated car crash on Saturday. Read more: nyti.ms/4qTVeDO

Swedish Def Min Jonson: Four years of full-scale war in Europe. On February 24, 2022, the Kremlin expected a swift takeover of power in Kyiv and a divided Europe. Today, February 24, 2026, Ukraine continues to stand independently. Russia has not achieved any of the goals it set before the invasion.

NEW: The USPS changed its rules on how it postmarks ballots. This may affect elections at every stage at which there's a mail deadline. An underplayed one: VOTER REGISTRATION. Many voters who send in their registration forms by mail could be postmarked late, missing out without realizing it.

Two Detroit police officers are in hot water after calling U.S. Border Patrol to routine traffic stops in violation of department policy. The Detroit Board of Police Commissioners voted unanimously, 10-0, to suspend the officers without pay for 30 days while termination proceedings take place.

survivors of domestic violence who are in prison for fighting back against an abuser have inspired and helped pass resentencing reforms in red and blue states in recent years. @pamelacolloff.bsky.social reports how opposition from prosecutors is still keeping them behind bars

A former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lawyer who was responsible for training new deportation officers warned Monday that the agency's training program for new recruits is “deficient, defective and broken.”

A former ICE instructor is expected to testify that new agents are trained to run roughshod over constitutional rights, including the right against a home invasion, and that the federal agency is “broken."

I am so sad that our elder, 73 year old Delroy Lindo, who was born in the UK but had to leave because he couldn’t get work as an actor, whose parents were Windrushees, who performed incredibly but wasn’t nominated for a BAFTA, is apparently not owed the dignity and care of solidarity and sympathy

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

When I say that the MN GOP is putting its all into placing statewide offices as far out of reach of GOP candidates as they can...

More farmers filed for bankruptcy in 2025 than 2024 as the sale price for row crops remains low, and costs like fertilizer remain high. It's unclear how quickly farmers will see relief. minnesotareformer.com/2026/02/23/f...

You want to explain how Tourette's works, fine. But to spend no time on apology or recognition for the harm done to not just these two men but all the Black folks present, to try to shame the victims of this incident... it's unbelievable.

It is both true that Israel‘s behavior has created fertile ground for antisemitism to grow and also no antisemitism is justified ever so if you’re not Jewish and starting to have some thoughts about “the Jews“ that’s on you. You’re responsible for not being an antisemitic twit.

America, know thyself.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Mountain View “allowed hundreds of unauthorized law enforcement agencies to search information captured by the city’s license plate cameras for more than a year.” Particularly important amid immigration enforcement. www.mv-voice.com/police/2026/...

This is what I was talking about last year in my piece on the Everglades camp for MSNBC, when it was already clear the US government was talking to several countries. Not only is the US creating a domestic network of camps, "we’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network."

The decision by two Bay Area DAs to pursue felony conspiracy charges against student protesters has critics concerned about the growing push to suppress protest. “That’s really concerning for the health of our democracy.”

What your government will do to others, it can do to you. You don't need to be altruistic to fight autocracy. Self-interest alone should motivate more people to speak up, speak out, organize, and contest for power.

Last weekend. This weekend. @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is absolute fire. 🔥 The owner of a Texas warehouse says they won't sell or lease to DHS after the community raised concerns about ICE. So we went down to Hutchins, Texas. to learn about how communities are stopping warehouses from falling into ICE's hands.

A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault. LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith” In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted DOJ keeps lying and losing:

This is disturbing. The Chief Justice of the MN Supreme Ct met with Homan, worked out an agreement, and never announced it publicly. ICE appeared to violate it days later by violently tackling a person in the Gov Center w/out a judicial warrant. We need transparency.

Whipple detention center oversight concerns intensified after lawmakers found the facility empty following advance notice to DHS. Keep reading: buff.ly/gYEpfzd #WhippleDetentionCenter #Oversight

I just saw an article about how we're losing exceptional immigrants with all the violent kidnappings and torture and detainments. While I'm sure that's true, I'm not a fan of that narrative. Immigrants don't need to win gold medals to deserve safety or enrich communities. Average people matter.

Sometimes in life, you just need a break.

Wow. Fed. judge tells DHS, ICE, Sec. Noem, AG Bondi, EOIR and others that they are harming "the fabric of this very nation" by defying a court order that vacated their automatic-detention policy. Order is linked here: www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Great to see this on Lake Street. racketmn.com/lake-street-...

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help. “A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Normalize accountability.

everything terrible that we see with ICE is a result of allowing Islamophobia to spread like wildfire after 9/11 and nobody caring about police brutality directed at Black people.
