The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

93 million people without access to internet seems bad.

I’m outraged. Our kids are living in terror under this unjust federal occupation. No child should endure the cruelty being inflicted at the hands of the Trump regime.

somebody’s sweet plums are crowding my icebox somebody’s cold plums are giving me chills

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

Does anyone know of a current news source from Iran? This one is from 4 days ago: www.theverge.com/policy/87184...

University is not a business, students are not customers, education is not a product, researchers are not salespeople.

why do billionaires pretend to understand quantum mechanics? why do people not laugh them out of the room? these are devastatingly stupid things to say. so stupid it should invoke laughter....and yet...

me: billionaires shouldn't exist. you cannot sit on a billion dollars and not be evil. also me: still thinking about Zuck's wife's $300 housecoat a full year later.

This is happening with Bourbon as well. Jim Beam moved to heat pumps and now they don’t need a gas *pipeline* anymore.

A portrait of Kermit I did some time back.

I can't speak to whether it is actually bortac and whether it is actually mortar launchers but I mentioned in my piece yesterday that I had witnessed tear gas being launched in the air in an arc over people's heads. This video I found on IG shows what I described

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

There are no atheists in foxholes.

these people are evil. There is no other explanation or reason. They are fundamentally evil. You cannot negotiate with evil.

Still 2000 left. This is what they do. Replace Bovino with Homan and pull some but don't fully leave. It's important to note their only job is to terrorize MSP. They aren't doing any other job. So remember that. They have no real job to do. The federal government doesn't help, only hurts.

Please don't report this as a straightforward business story; it's a story about coercive social transformation being imposed by people so rich they've ceased to see the rest of us as legitimate stakeholders in our own lives

This is civic action. Surprise, Arizona. Pop. 167,000. Huge crowd shows up to the City Council meeting to oppose DHS recent purchase of ginormous warehouse. Meeting + overflow room filled and hundreds more gathered outside. 130 people sign up to speak. 128 opposed to ICE warehouse.

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

Virologist Nathan Wolfe sought funding from Jeffrey Epstein to study whether sexually transmitted infections increased women’s sex drive. He planned to conduct this study among female undergraduate students.

Chicagoan Marimar Martinez, who Border Patrol agent Charles Exum shot in October, just concluded her testimony before a bicameral forum on DHS agents' violent behavior in Washington DC. She concluded with this remark: "If there's no justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

Seeing yet another 'using whistles is disablist' piece circulating: for the 40 millionth time, using disabled people as cover like this is disgusting and calculated to prey on people who are anxious about doing the wrong thing. Doesn't escape notice that white people are the worst offenders.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

Damn what's going on in France rn and can we get some

Haiti’s TPS continues for now!!!!! And zowie: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.283214/gov.uscourts.dcd.283214.124.0_1.pdf

Jerome Deangelo Richardson, a 21-year-old Temple University student and activist, was arrested by federal agents on Monday in connection to an anti-ICE protest that took place at a church in Minnesota. #BlackskyNews thegrio.com/2026/02/02/d...

I interviewed an expert on what's happening with connectivity in Iran: The longest blackout in Iran's history. Thousands dead. Documentation of war crimes dependent on Starlink. A regime that uses AI's ubiquity to undermine the credibility of evidence. www.theverge.com/policy/87184...

Howard County revokes permit for ICE detention facility in Elkridge

And that's just the immediate cost to taxpayers. What about the longterm costs to society of having discriminatory practices in schools that rob students of their futures.

I don’t think I can say this forcefully enough: hundreds of thousands of Haitians will lose status tomorrow with racist ending of their TPS & are spending today refreshing their feeds for a court order that could literally save thier lives. This is nothing short of psychosocial torture.

I am not sure I ever shouted Carlos out but he made some very cute merch designs for me: store.dftba.com/products/ang...

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

I recommend this book here. But I also talked about it in a spoiler filled podcast.

a book recommendation!

Can't now find it but there's a classic old tweet which said something like "Every time we're on the verge of achieving class consciousness in America a CIA sleeper agent activates and, their eyes glowing red, they just tweet out "John Brown was a white saviour"" and I think about it often.

imagine having 73000 lives on your ledger and walking around breathing air. the things I want to type would have the fbi at my house.

Schumer said this TODAY. 🚮

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

when i say bring that baby home i mean EVERY BABY
