“Sometimes we have to force ourselves upon them”

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

"the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children"

ICE has been tracking the names of protesters in an internal database for several months, according to two US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operations reut.rs/46wwn1j

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it. Seems kinda bad?

I heard if you play it backwards, Bad Bunny sings "I bury Paul."

1. Thomas Massey, Republican from Kentucky, just did an interview where he said, on camera, that the director of the FBI threatened to investigate one of his staffers for fraud if Massey did not stop pushing for the disclosure of the Epstein files.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Howard Lutnick should resign!! He lied - describing his relationship with Epstein as a single a brief encounter. But apparently he visited the island & did business w Epstein even after child abuse conviction. In the UK, 3 people who did less than Lutnick resigned in disgrace Resign Lutnick!!!

The most important ad you will see on Super Bowl Sunday. You don’t “move on” from the largest sex trafficking ring in the world. You expose it. #StandWithSurvivors

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

If you had any doubt about Trump & Co. letting go of power, you best let go of that doubt. Read/share. 👇🏼

The same people who want us to work to 70 are the same people who won’t hire us after 50.

Emma Sky, a former U.S. military advisor: ICE being masked recalls sectarian militias sent out by Iraqi strongmen to terrorize civilians. "It is in dictatorships...that opposition movements are routinely described as terrorists or insurgents, which signals that violence is the appropriate response."

This poem hit me in a way I didn’t expect. Don’t listen like a teacher: hear it as an American ❤️‍🩹 @amandagorman.bsky.social

This is a really big deal: a union leader wins in Texas.. and beats a billionaire backed candidate who led anti public school culture wars…. .h/t @zephcapo.bsky.social

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.” And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

Here’s my @thenation.com post on the arrest of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, the violation of the First Amendment, and Trump’s ongoing attempts to change the face of his victims and spark a race war.

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year. Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

This will be, or should be, featured in a million campaign ads

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

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

On Wednesday Bruce Springsteen released 'Streets of Minneapolis,' a protest song condemning the violence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis. n.pr/3NUhXSa

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

PHOENIX - Trump’s ICE goons drive by and MACE peaceful protestors on the sidewalk right in the face for no reason. (From @phoenixnewtimes.com )

When Himmler took over from Goring the Nazi Gestapo had a new guy running the show but the show itself didn't change other than ramping up the brutality and murder. Bovino leaving isn't going to improve ICE.

The Texas Monthly's food editor was stopped by ICE agents. He wrote about it: www.texasmonthly.com/food/taco-ed...

"We are all ears." Ranking Member @raskin.house.gov urges whistleblowers and public servants with knowledge of wrongdoing at federal agencies to come forward, speak honestly, and help Congress carry out its constitutional oversight responsibilities.

Alex Pretti's Phone Is What ICE IS Afraid Of; The Truth......

Important reminder here that so many other people have been victims of DHS/ICE/CBP violence. So many examples. Marimar Martinez’s attorney seeks release of body camera footage from when a CBP agent shot her. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

"He was carrying--" "Well she shouldn't have been--" "He was planning--" You're telling me this nation, currently ruled by decree and not legislation, now condones vigilante execution too? This year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States. But to hear you talk--America died at 249.

The nurses are pissed
