We do not want your private ICE prisons in North Carolina! No where. Not now. Not ever! We won't back down and we won't give up! #NCPOL #Pinks www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: I’m proud to endorse my friend, Gina Hinojosa, for Governor of Texas. I’ve seen her courage, her integrity, and her passion up close. Together we’ve fought to deliver for working families. Texans deserve a fighter like @ginafortexas.bsky.social in the Governor’s Mansion.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Please all your Senators to demand that Jeremy Carl never be confirmed to serve in the US State Department or any other role representing the US. He is -clearly from his own words- an antisemitic, racist person totally ignorant of our history and our reality. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

“Christianity took the Jewish God, who cared for the weak and knew the difference between good and evil, and made his message universal. It taught that all humans are God’s creation. Even more than that: the weak are closer to God than the rich and the powerful.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/o...

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen: "We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

The problem with Christians who preach this is that it’s not what Jesus taught. “Refer only vaguely to the events in Minnesota, insert a warning about succumbing to peer pressure and emotional manipulation, and advise women to focus on their families.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

🚨BREAKING: Local Minneapolis police SWARM ICE protesters making mass arrests in front of ICE prison. One protesters forehead is gushing blood ⬇️

✅ Fact checked!

Far too many ICE agents are lawless, cruel and despicable bullies.

Social Life 101: “Group life is actually about the dance between the ‘We’ and the ‘I.’ So if you have too much ‘we,’ it’s a cult, and if you have too much ‘I,’ it’s a federation.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/o...

Olivia Dean who just won the Grammy for Best New Artist: “I’m up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant. I’m a product of bravery.”

It occurs to me that we don’t know the name of the woman who was pushed to the ground by ICE whom Alex Pretti was trying to support. She is most likely traumatized & we don’t really need her name. But pray/send healing vibes to her - that she will heal.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The Christian fundamentalists and evangelicals aligning with ICE are “prying Christianity further and further away from the ethic and teachings of Jesus,” Peter Wehner argues.

‘Right-wing populists don’t view Christianity as a faith; rather, Cremer suggests, they use Christianity as a cultural identity marker of the “pure people” against external “others,” while in many cases remaining disconnected from Christian values’ www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Jack Smith: "I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will."

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

These artists are my people. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...

ST. PAUL MAYOR: “We’ve received reports of ICE officers going door to door asking where the Asian people live… I myself have received advice to carry my passport with me because they may target me based on what I look like.”

If WSJ & Fox News are reporting this, I'm thinking it's at least as bad as they're saying. "There are incentives for ICE Agents" if they bring in at least 3000 people/day, even if they're released. In other words, there's an incentive to arrest U.S. citizens alongside both doc & undoc immigrants.

Jessica: The WSJ is reporting that there are incentives for ICE Agents because they need to meet that insane 3,000 people per day quota—they are getting rewarded even if they bring in people who then get released…

BRENNAN: What percentage of those you have in custody have committed crimes? NOEM: 70% of them B: It's not 70% N: Yes it is. You guys pick and choose numbers B: Your agency says 47% have criminal convictions N: Wrong again. We'll get you the correct numbers B: Well, that's from your agency

Steve Kerr on the murder of Renee Good: "It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

“That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Does this look like a “domestic terrorist”? @KristiNoem needs to resign. @JDVance owes her son an apology. Shame on everyone.
