Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades. Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in. Cashing in on cruelty.

King George doesn’t respect the rights of Englishmen. Why bother complaining about the law? Like it matters. — John Adams, @johnnya1775.bsky

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

What if they did this to you or your loved one? Tell everyone you know about this! We are all in peril from #ICELawlessness & it's rampant. Call your lawmakers! Congress-202-224-3121 Google local & state officials. Anyone could be next. In this🧵 you'll see they even target ambulance drivers.

Rep. Crow: “As a three-time combat veteran, I get pretty damn hot when a five-time draft dodger like Donald Trump pounds his chest and bangs the war drums in Washington…America is over it. America is over…the sending of our sons and daughters and brothers and sisters to enrich oil executives.”

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime. Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

#Pinks #ProudBlue More officials leaving the DoJ. This time because Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon is refusing to investigate Renee Good’s murder. Everyone saw what happened. Jonathan Ross deserves at least life in prison. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-legal-...

The DOJ has smoke for Jerome Powell, but none for the people in the Epstein files? 👀 Also, investigating possible criminal activity everywhere except the White House? Bold move, Pamela.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

ICE once again gets caught in a lie. They claimed the passenger was injured in vehicle that was attacking them. Turns out, the passenger was with ICE when they were injured. We can never believe these thugs. foxbaltimore.com/news/local/i...

AOC: Vance believes fundamentally that what happened to Renee Good is acceptable and what should be ok in America every day and so as far as what a person like that believes, you have to start right there with the person that you're dealing with

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Sanders: I am very worried that ICE is becoming a domestic army for Trump, and this goes way beyond the issue of immigration. It goes to the movement of this country toward authoritarianism and fear.

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

This mobile billboard is more righteous than the justice system. Arrest and charge Jonathan Ross. 📢

Sen. Kelly: “If Pete Hegseth succeeds in silencing me, then he and every other Secretary of Defense who comes after him will have license to punish any retired veteran of any political persuasion for the things that they say.”

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski says the Trump DOJ is engaging in coercion and must be investigated

"The veteran said he saw volunteering as an ICE observer as another way of serving his country. 'It’s the most American thing to do: not to be scared of people trying to scare you... This is a pivotal moment we’ll be asked about by our kids, "Where were you?" www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

BREAKING: Sen. Mark Kelly is suing Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory What a shock! The US-born unemployment rate increased over the past 12 months. Trump’s immigration policies reducing the number of foreign-born workers did NOT help US-workers. So it was always nothing more than racist policies all along. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next? Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant. That matters….

An administrative warrant is signed by ICE, not a judge. Without a signed judicial warrant, agents do not have the right to enter your home. You have the right to ask to see the warrant. You have the right to refuse entry without one.

👇👇

Whether in 2026 or 2028, there will be a reckoning. Even if Trump gave a mass pardon (he would have to use an autopen to pardon 21K agents) there would still be civil action open to the folks who were harmed. 🗽

“Donald Trump is a man who represents all the things we teach our children not to be. He’s a liar. He’s a thief. He’s a molester. He has no remorse, no shame, no empathy. He has no loyalty to the law, to the Constitution. This man is the lowest character of all.”

He’s a good man, i'll watch his movies with a very different perspective now #abolishice #MarkRuffalo #GoldenGlobes

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days. End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis blasts Trump for weaponizing the DOJ against Jerome Powell and the Fed: "It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question."

Celebrities showed their support for Renee Good at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, Jean Smart and Natasha Lyonne wore white buttons that said “Be Good,” honoring the woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. 📸: Jordan Strauss/AP and Kevork Djansezian/AP.

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

Flashback Kamala Harris: “Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him.”

Nikki Glaser roasted Donald Trump and CBS News at the Golden Globes: The Golden Globe for best editing goes to the Justice Department! And the award for most editing goes to CBS News! Yes, CBS News. America’s newest place to See B.S. News.” Love it!👏🏽🔥

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates. DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

Trump’s America

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #Trump #Melania #parody

Why does this make Trump impeachable HCM1 - The Constitution allows impeachment for “treason, bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors,” which includes serious abuses of official power that corrupt the office, even if they are not ordinary criminal statutes. ​

This is f*cked up! There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling. And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen. So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.

Looks like the regime has put JD in charge of bullshit.

New York City turned OUT. @handsoffnyc.bsky.social ✊❤️
