1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

This show was about compassion, family, community, and standing for who/what you love. Everything the right pretends to care about but obviously hates. And wall to wall bangers.

They’ll be hearing from his father

They made up a whole story about a White House staffer posting ut in the middle of the night, and Trump just goes Leeroy Jenkins and says, "You're goddamn right I ordered the Code Red!"

Not that it would be okay to do this to an undocumented immigrant either but THIS GUY IS A LEGAL IMMIGRANT and also his lawyer hand delivered his medication and they REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM. Enraging! How do ANY of these people live with themselves?

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

I saw these guys open up for Memphis Kansas Breeze

They just blindly shot through the fucking door. "Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

The harmonica lollllll

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

"She sustained a torn rotator cuff, concussion and bruised ribs during the incident and received medical treatment at a hospital..." www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

This is tear gassing protesters just for protesting. There is no threat, and the only danger presented is ICE behaving recklessly. There is no provocation; this is just straight up assault.

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

Almost all of my affection for Philly is second hand from his work. Sorry it was needed, but a deserving gesture from the Sixers.

The coolest Congresswoman there’s ever been.

i haven't done this since twitter but at the request of 1 (one) person, OSCAR NOMINEES AS SIMPSONS SCREENCAPS THREAD

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

‼️This famous photo from the Minnesota Tribune on Jan. 21 is from this incident, involving at least three of the same agents from Alex Pretti's killing. Thanks to the people replying who tipped me off to this.

Like here's Elon Musk and Sen. Mike Lee calling for Ilhan Omar to be executed by the state just a couple weeks ago. (They love to do this cutesy thing where they're like "whatever the punishment is for treason *wink wink*," etc.)

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

I think the key that unlocks Dan was his desire to share the things he loved with other people. Wouldn’t be the worst way to honor him if we make the effort to do that for the things we love, too. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

This is testimony… 📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti. “After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

Surely Bari will win over the CBS employees by trashing Cronkite in the middle of a bunch of useless nonsense.

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

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Marimar Martinez is asking the body camera showing what really happened when a CBP goon shot her on October 4 be released, in part bc Tricia McLaughlin continues to lie about her, in part bc Sam Alito believes those lies. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Bovino said the supposed target of Border Patrol yesterday, Ecuadorian Jose Huerta-Chuma, had a lengthy criminal history, including domestic assault, dis. conduct and driving without a license. Minnesota DOC then disputed--said he had no felonies and was never in state custody. I checked records/

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

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.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

BCA accuses the feds of: - Taking “exclusive access of evidence at the scene” (The phone he was recording with?) - Detained witnesses - Allowed the scene to collapse, “possibly spoiling evidence” This is Minnesota’s statewide LEA that has jurisdiction over all fatal uses of force

JFC

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

This is my blood

"The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. ... "Next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street. If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

There is no natural way to immediately go prone and immobile when you are being manhandled by a half dozen cops. Any single natural impulse your body has will be explained away as a violent provocation.

The president is only repeating himself because it’s true. The only thing that can get this country on track is “braaaaaiiinnnns.”

"we'll look weak and out of touch" ICE is underwater with non-college whites including 41% "strong disapprove" there's no polling to hide behind, if you're not willing to fight here it's because you don't want to, not because it's a losing fight

Col Davis is the former chief prosecutor in Guantánamo.

Democratic leaders need to fear being branded as collaborators more than they fear being called soft on crime

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.
