Heads up: The Trump admin has started arresting immigrants in Maine as part of a new federal operation targeting the state. The operation is intended to target immigrants from Somalia. People from countries including Sudan, Guatemala and Ethiopia were swept up on the first day of the operations.

This is a systematic effort to violate constitutional rights as policy while keeping it secret from the public, the courts, and Congress. Yet more evidence that "reform" is not an option. The bare minimum is to abolish ICE and permanently bar all employees from future federal employment.

Republicans in the Oversight Committee just voted NO on a motion to hold Pam Bondi and the DOJ in contempt of Congress for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. FYI - Andy Biggs and Gym Jordan are on that committee.

look, they're not secret police, they're just non-police paramilitaries obeying secret orders and unrestrained by any legal or Constitutional limits at the behest of the President's chosen Nosferatu

they are actively trying to get these officers killed and have been for some time

At a time of unprecedented daily scandals, this this whistleblower complaint, and the memo it reveals for the first time, breaks through for me as beyond the pale. It's the federal government conspiring in secret to subvert the Fourth Amendment. Read it here: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

One of the 50 people that ICE kidnapped today is a mother from the Democratic Republic of the Congo who has a pending asylum application and no criminal record It’s an ethnic cleansing campaign. Pure and simple. www.instagram.com/p/DTyFTp8E9k...

I'm just a simple country lawyer but this whole "you can only read the memo in front of supervisors and you can't take notes on it and don't tell anyone" doesn't sound like the behavior of an administration that believes it's behaving in the right!

Well of course Gaza keeps having deadly days, what with all this autonomous fire flying around.

“They need that money to invest in businesses!” And to suppress the media.

This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

I am not a social media influencer I am just a regular Minneapolis dad trying to do a kid pickup this morning and get some gas. What do I find but that one guy and a bunch of bortech (whatever that is) blocking the station for a glamour shot. I stood right where I wanted to stand this is my town.

How many abused children, are deceased because of their mistreatment? The emotional toll is severe and unforgivable. Trump protecting them is an impeachable offense, in my view. He told Marjorie T. Greene that her push for file releases "would hurt his friends." Pedophiles deserve prison.

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door. It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

If we had a working Congress—and if the Republican party actually meant *any* of what it said over the last half-century about holding the Constitution and liberties dear—there would massive hearings, there would be firings, there would be impeachment proceedings.

Kansas City is 54% White.

A federal appeals court has paused an injunction barring immigration agents from “retaliating” against peaceful protesters and observers in Minnesota. This photo from today shows a federal agent spraying a protester on the ground with a chemical irritant.

law enforcement is investigating, arresting, and targeting Ds in office. the D party is literally being criminalized before our eyes, and they still won't stop kissing cop ass.

NEW: After the @texasobserver.org reported that James Rodden—an ICE attorney we identified as the operator of a racist X account—returned to work in the Dallas immigration court last week, Congressman Marc Veasey has introduced a bill to reduce his salary to $1. www.texasobserver.org/congressman-...

Just imagine if President Biden or any other Democrat President said this. Republican lawmakers would lose their fucking minds….

What is the ICE paramilitary trying to hide by not allowing lawful, Constitutional oversight by Congress?

This is disgusting. Why?

The TACO trade

gavin aint it

That was a great speech from Trump. He cemented his position clearly, for all the world to see. He once again demonstrated that he and his administration are all morons. Is it true that they all moved into senior military housing? Do they have a reason to be fearful of their own countrypeople?

"The govt cannot rely on reasonable suspicion to justify taking an individual into custody. But the six conservative justices have sufficiently muddied the waters that most people won’t know DHS is lying when it claims that 'SCOTUS has already vindicated us on this position.'" — @lizdye.bsky.social

it wasn't about mental acuity really. it was about gender. Biden was perceived as unmanly for having a stutter, because it codes as "disability" to people in a way that isn't "inevitable aging," and people associate being Disabled in that way with femininity. whereas Grandpa, a man, always gets old

The legislation would ban anyone inside a courthouse from wearing a mask; require law enforcement officers to state their purpose to court officials; and require ICE agents to have a judicial warrant to take someone into custody at a courthouse.

🧵ICE abducts Mainers in Portland, Maine the morning of January 21, 2026.

This lazy-minded doddering old fool thinks Iceland & Greenland and Norway & Denmark are the same You might ignore this if he was your retired grandpa or crazy uncle BUT he is President of the United States!!!

I am telling that labeling bullshit in gold leaf at the White House is textbook dementia care by his staff. It’s to remind him what room he’s in. I cannot stress this enough - yesterday and today he’s clearly showing the world he’s incapable of serving.

The president of the United States is so brain-dead that he doesn't remember which country he's threatening to destroy the world's greatest military alliance over.

It is instructive to compare @hunterw.bsky.social’s report on the deranged Trump press conference with Luke Broadwater’s article in the @nytimes.com, which saw fit to mention Trump’s comments about his Little League career but to leave out his racist rant about Somalis and other immigrants.

Columbus discovered Indians, therefore the US can annex India.

Ok but unironically Europe has about as much leverage as anyone right now, travel-ban and sanction congressional Republicans until they impeach him, they are impervious to public pressure due to their own wickedness and a poorly designed system of government but they care about their Treats

Very fun that everyone who panicked about Biden's mental acuity is willing to sit through this endless national humiliation ritual.

Very sick of the constant humiliation of being represented by this rapidly decompensating mob boss on the international stage

One of the core dynamics underlying our political upheaval.
