DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime? NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

A former ICE agent is blowing the whistle: Academy training is "deficient & broken." He claims he was ordered to teach cadets to bypass the Constitution & enter homes without warrants. ICE reportedly cut 240 hours of legal, firearms, and use-of-force training.

We are appalled at the statement from Minnesota Mayor that ICE has left, and the minimizing of this MOMENT. Let's be crystal clear. DENYING THE PANDEMIC HAS DIRECTLY LEAD TO THIS FASCIST STATE OF AFFAIRS. FASCISTS REMAIN AS DOES THE PANDEMIC. Simping for capitalism is a terrible look in 2026.

South Korean President sentenced to LIFE IN PRISON for breaking with their constitution and using the military in a coup. WTF Congress DO YOUR JOB

I’m done hearing about the Epstein files, I want to hear about the Epstein trials.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Bands using SLOP for their lazy music videos, makes it clear to listeners you don't give a fuck and just want money.

There is a .000001% chance these men did not know. And if they didn't know, it's because they handed over control of their careers and their political decisions to lobbyists who not only do not give a damn about Americans, but prey upon us like vampires.

"Notable names include House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Martin Heinrich." HOW INTERESTING.

Trump illegally imposed billions in tariffs (taxes) on U.S. corporations. Much of those costs were passed onto consumers. The corporations might get their money back. You never will.

“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”. Sound familiar? That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed. This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year. They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

Hey, friends! @ziibiing.com and the awesome folks at StandWithMinnesota have launched #keepMNhoused! Check out keepMNhoused.com and kick in to help folks affected by ICE stay in their homes! ALSO, artists, please join the call for art to help spread the word! (art here by the great @trungles.com)

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

The Trump administration has agreed to drop its ban on diversity and equity initiatives in public schools in New Hampshire – and the rest of the country. That’s according to a ruling Wednesday by Federal Judge Landya McCafferty, which dismissed the case.

Today Rep Ted Lieu stated after reviewing Epstein files: "In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations, allegations of Donald Trump raping children and threatening to kill children.” Hours later we see news reports Trump is on verge of bombing Iran. This is 2 + 2 = 4 stuff.

Terrific piece by @rexhuppke.bsky.social on Elon Musk, White Nationalist

Oz weaponizing Medicaid as a tool for ICE deserved it's own post. Oz has handed Medicaid data over to the regime's secret police who murder nurses, abduct children and use them as bait, and torture human beings in black site detention facilities www.patreon.com/posts/150452...

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism. There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision. Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

One of the stories I wanted to learn more about when I got to Minneapolis was the story of Post Modern Times Cafe. In the wake of ICE’s brutality the owner, Dylan Alverson, decided to make his restaurant COMPLETELY FREE. Watch my interview with him here.
