We are calling on ICE to immediately release journalist Estefany Rodriguez, who has covered immigration, including ICE actions, for the Spanish-language news site Nashville Noticias. Read the letter we signed with 40 other press freedom and civil society groups: www.freepress.net/news/coaliti...

As good a time as any to share: I'm writing a #book. A NEIGHBOR'S PRIMER TO ORGANIZING, ADVOCACY, AND THE URGENCY OF COMMUNITY will be released later this spring. For more info, I made a site www.armando-mc.com

Ok so it's not just me

Came for the unlearning, stayed for the history lesson on surrealism.

Antonio and Caleb Gámez-Cuéllar went from performing with the Mariachi Oro vocalists before Congress to being imprisoned by ICE. I am doing everything in my power to make sure the boys and their family return home safely. #FreeOurChildren

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

With all the illegal and morally abhorrent violence being done overseas, I think it's time for the Democrats to really step up. No more strongly worded letters or quick soundbites. No, it's time to get serious. They need to film a *second* "Do not follow illegal orders" video.

This is very serious and I hope all the 1A orgs will meet the moment here.

It isn't enough for this country to enable a culture of normalized school shootings, we also bomb a school overseas and then claim we were under imminent threat.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

"Noem has been promoted to Warden of the Gulf of America, a very important and not at all made up position"

Anything to say @fetterman.senate.gov? You and McCormick both voted against holding the president accountable for this atrocity.

This is outrageous. If meaningful ethics guardrails aren't put in place to prohibit or seriously curb these kinds of practices, these pay to play tactics are only going to become more prevalent. Looking at you, @governor.pa.gov & @lgaustindavis.bsky.social

There's definitely something to be said about which stories the big elite media outlets choose to put their energy into on the topic of trans issues.

A billion-dollar company poisoned their town, then moved on. Now people are dying. New from me @therealnews.com therealnews.com/a-billion-do...

portrait of the second trump administration

US: "Designed to minimize civilian casualties" Also US: *Bombs an elementary school*

Wondering if @marisakabas.bsky.social got her call yet

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

That "don't take illegal orders" video sure helped, didn't it? Snark aside, this whole situation is disgusting and abhorrent and our Congress is to blame for letting it happen.

This also apparently includes the elementary school kids who we bombed.

*Taps the sign*

Anybody else remember the "don't follow illegal orders" video? Doesn't seem like that worked.

Hell yeah, brother

Can't help but see a parallel of this violence with the treatment of teen protesters in Quakertown in the last week.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

An enraging, enraging case.

Officials have not publicly released information about what charges the teenagers face.

For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks. lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/b0...

ICE abducted a father of a six-year-old who is undergoing cancer treatment in a suburb outside Pittsburgh on Sunday and took him to a detention center in West Virginia. The cruelty is boundless.

Willie Colón, the Grammy-nominated architect of urban salsa music and social activist, has died.

This is the eighth death in ICE custody in the last seven weeks.

Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...

ok but how is the opposition party supposed to win over his supporters now, have they even thought about that

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

After a discussion with their attorney, I have confirmed that Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported.

Can we all agree that our country did just fine the first 225 years of its existence without the Department of Homeland Security and would do just fine again without it?

🗃️ Tyler Austin Harper’s insane Andrew Mellon Foundation hit piece, which of course @theatlantic.com was happy to print, has rightfully pissed off everyone in the Humanities. As someone who works in higher education funding, here is a 🧵 on why this article is even more infuriating than you think.

i‘m using it for a column but i want to share here this line from lincoln on jefferson because it is applies to our situation as well. you can find it in his april 6, 1859 letter to henry l. pierce.

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from. We'll let their words speak for themselves.

I've flippantly said to folks "Ha, the law. Remember that?" and they often think I'm making a joke. I'm not.

At PTA Bingo night and the kids went *wild* when this number got called

"They could still get this information if they *really* tried" Why lock your doors at night? A bad guy who *really* wants to break in will find a way, so why bother, right? [Thanks @stephenjcaruso.bsky.social @spotlightpa.org for your journalism] www.spotlightpa.org/news/2026/02...

This whole thread is good but this part in particular makes it clear we are living under a government that is not following the laws it is sworn to uphold and defend. Those tasks are increasingly on the people.

Time for my next read

I can only imagine this will supercharge @mickyde.bsky.social 's Morrowind videos.
