"They did not remove my handcuffs for meals, so it was very difficult to eat. They restricted access to my medications." We're in court challenging the inhumane and unconstitutional conditions that our clients experienced when they were detained at Alligator Alcatraz.

As a EU citizen, I don’t want to see Trump’s neo-fascist militia in Italy nor in any other European state. ICE out of our cities has become a global unstoppable force!

BREAKING: New Jersey Governor Sherrill is creating an online portal for New Jersey residents to report encounters with ICE agents. She wants you to record as much as you can!

Trump hasn't just insulted the troops of our allies. He's insulted the Black service members who fought bravely for a country that wasn't even giving them the full measure of equality. Great piece by Pulitzer winner Matt Desmond: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Brits: you are nowhere near frightened enough of what's happening in the US right now and what UK politicians are promising with the help of Palantir and friends. From @ markmcposts on IG.

What a great resource! 🙏

"Raising up the poor appears to have a dramatic effect: A 1% increase in the income share of the bottom quintile results in a 0.38% increase in GDP. Meanwhile, a 1% increase in the income share of the top 20% results in a 0.08% decrease in GDP growth." Sanoo jopa IMF!

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

Get off Twitter, it is the only way these oafs investigate anything. It is literally dangerous to your speech rights to be or appear on that website.

Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed. The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media. Beware.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

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

Federico Finchelstein’s analysis on how Trumpism is approaching fascism by leaps and bounds: www.eldiario.es/internaciona...

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

“Just one ticket has been sold for the first 3.10pm screening on Friday at its flagship…branch in London, while two have been booked for 6pm. …all seats remained available for the 28 screenings of Melania at the Blackburn, Castleford and Hamilton branches.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Over the night, russians heavily bombed Odesa, sending there 50+ drones which targeted energy facilities and households. Tens are injured, more people may still be under the rubble. This is a daily horror that ordinary Ukrainians are enduring 24/7. Trump wants to reward this w/ the Donetsk region.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Euroalueen velka ei ole syntynyt julkisen sektorin tuhlailusta. 1980-luvulta: verokilpailu ja vapaat pääomat rapauttavat veropohjaa. 2008: pankkikriisi → yksityiset tappiot siirretään valtioille. 2010-luvulla: leikkauspolitiikka heikentää kasvua, työllisyyttä ja osaamista.

MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

Historian of fascism here! A citizen was murdered today by a wannabe fascist regime!

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

MEP @alexandrageese.bsky.social giving presser now at EP with victims of recent 🇺🇸sanctions against lawmakers & NGOs for implementing EU tech laws "This is a surgical political instrument to silence opponents," she says. "What 🇺🇸 is hitting here is not some random NGO, it's the DSA enforcement chain"

"Major media know Trump is building a dictatorship, but they’re unwilling to tell the public that Trump is building a dictatorship. This cynical pursuit of profit at the expense of public awareness is unacceptable." @markjacob.bsky.social asks some critical questions here:

"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism." / George Orwell in 'Why I Write' (1946).

"At least 5 women, including a 15-year-old child, were killed during recent protests in the cities of Isfahan, Gorgan, and Tehran. The victims have been identified as Arnika Dabbagh, Nasim Pouraqaei, Sahba Rashtian, Mobina Beheshti, and Nazli Janparvar." hengaw.net/en/news/2026...

Last year, ICE shifted focus away from the agriculture and hospitality industries—the low-hanging fruit for immigration enforcement—because the raids were hurting business interests. What we’re seeing now is largely a performance of cruelty to satisfy Trump’s base.

This guy says it all! He’s here to stand with and protect his community while ICE is harming and hurting it.

Alexandra Petri perfectly captures the fascistic propaganda style of the Trump regime in this description of a mom dropping off her kids at school—which is what Renee Nicole Good did just before an ICE agent shot her dead. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

"In a 72-page lawsuit filed on Thursday on behalf of three community members who are all US citizens, the ACLU accused federal immigration agents of violating citizens’ constitutional rights, arguing that Somali and Latino communities in the state have been disproportionately targeted."

Please watch.

This is chilling and must be heard to believe. And the fact that this is where we are says everything.

Donald Trump sent in his rogue ICE agency to terrorize Minneapolis and sow chaos and fear. Now he’s capitalizing on this terror and threatening the Insurrection Act. It’s what dictators do.
