Every American needs to watch this:

From @aljazeera.com : “ICE’s budget went to $75 BILLION - more than all but 15 militaries… $45B to detention (GEO GROUP & CORE CIVIC), larger than the budget for the entire federal prison system… ICE’s budget could cover Medicaid for 2 million Americans…” Cruelty is big business.

That’s the fewest number of job openings since September 2020. #JOLTS

WATCH — @pissedoffbartender.bsky.social : “The Tangerine Tyrant is fixin’ to try and rig the midterms, folks… He ain’t even trying to hide this shit. He’s out here talking about nationalizing votes and taking over cities ‘cause they won’t agree with him. This is proof he himself is scared.”

Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE.

Steven Rattner: Before Trump took office, retail prices were trending downwards. His tariffs reversed that pattern.

When you're so coked up and stupid you put the scope on backwards:

ICE set to deport U.S. Army Veteran "at any moment"—detained 5 months for failure to use turn signal. "I shed my blood for this country," he said over phone. "You're not from this country, but you serve. You're willing to die for this country. That should matter," his wife added. Atlanta, Georgia

MN superintendent: We had a mother that arrived with her child, who is legally in the US, who was terrified and was followed by two ICE vehicles for no apparent reason. Our principal, who is always out at arrival, got yelled at, screamed at, mocked, videoed by 4 ICE agents.

What in the everloving fuck?

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

Looks like we’re not done with Sheikh Tahnoon. 👀 @wsj.com #$WLFI @rokhanna.bsky.social www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

It almost seems like they went out of their way to hurt the victims even more, while protecting the predators. Nude photos. The names and faces of sexual abuse victims. Bank account and Social Security numbers in full view. But perps names redacted. Error or malevolence? apnews.com/article/jeff...

I can't believe the libs are making a big deal out of Kid Rock's song "Pedophilia is Cool (Let's All Be Pedophiles, Y'all!)"

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

CNN: "New data shows January was the lowest months for job cuts since the 2009 Great Recession...layoffs way up, hiring ways down. During the month of January, US-based employers announced just over 108,000 layoffs. That's roughly double January 2025. In fact, this is the highest since January 2009"

If Dem senators vote to extend the DHS CR again, they are instantly going to lose a tremendous amount of support from their base who have been in wait-and-see mode on this. I can only assume Dem senators considering this have completely lost touch with their voters. Don’t do it.

The Golden Age continues.

The reaction of the Trump admin from Karoline Leavitt: “It’s a brutal war.” That’s all you get. That’s the reaction. Don’t forget to thank Trump, or Vance will get upset.

I just keep watching it disappear. Our free press. Our right to assembly. Our freedom of speech. Our right to due process. Our right to free and fair elections. Our protections from illegal search and seizure. Our private data. Our warrantless entry protections. All of it disappearing.

please watch:

I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

Thank you to everyone in CA including the elected officials and voters who successfully accomplished mid-decade redistricting to swiftly counter the attempted theft by Texas. Action and tangible results are so much better than gripes and strongly worded letters.

Boris Nikolic: When are you back in NYC? Epstein: 4th im in palm with all the trump boys. . fun Email from December 25, 2016.

I guess "ocean" isn't one of the words they test when the president makes his monthly visit to the dementia ward.

🚨 Munitions inventory leaked to me shows Border Patrol is stockpiling over 35,000 weapons in Minneapolis for crowd control. Full inventory here: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/in-ices-wa...

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Do not bs us on this. Don’t even think about it. Not one single day of an extension.

😲😱

there's something unholy about the Trump administration being laser focused on "fraud" while Trump pardons an endless clown car of fraudsters and bilks taxpayers at every opportunity. it's just transparently absurd.

ICE agents bragging about shooting Marimar Martinez. Bragging. Fuck ICE. Have a listen.👇

❗️🇺🇦 Zelensky: If we lose this war, we will lose the independence of our country. If we become part of Russia, it will be an absolutely terrible loss. And I am sure that this will not happen. ➡️ Russia has already tried to eliminate me several times. I am used to fear.

ICE shackled a woman for 24 hours in a bathroom with 3 other men. ICE detained a five-year-old child who got sick under their watch. ICE has gone after people who came here through legal processes. This is out of control. Kristi Noem has got to go.

FWIW, Wyden can just stand up on the Senate floor and tell us all exactly what this is about.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

Trump supporters and allies, including senior officials and lawmakers, are raking in cash from private companies’ government contracts at nearly every stage of the deportation system.

ICE official confirms authenticity of leaked video showing 50 people held in single cells with concrete floors at Baltimore federal holding facility. An ICE official confirms this leaked video from inside ICE detention is "100% real."

Whistleblower’s lawyer to Tulsi: “You have given us zero guidance… I will contact the senate committee re your conduct on Monday… I maintain top secret eligibility and have been routinely read into matters of national security…” (From @AdamParkhomenko)

Fox host says Trump Accounts are "a backdoor for privatizing Social Security"

Part 2 of the exchange.

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

I wish I had practiced my "shocked face" more.

The videos of the abduction today in heavy traffic in Columbia Heights is truly one of the most dystopian things I’ve seen since Alex’s murder. Ice surrounded a vehicle in heavy traffic boxing it in and then pulled everyone out of the car while other people were honking and then they just took off.

By the way, people keep asking how to help. Many many orgs are distributing but the one responsible for this particular aid is here: giving.servantkeeper.com/stjohnsepisc...

It is like an extra level of depressing that our country isn’t even making concentration camps, where folk can at least go outside from time to time, rather they’re just big warehouses where folks are locked in cages and sleep on concrete floors, and no one can see the cruelty inside.

Powerful testimony from ICE watchers in suburban Minnesota:

The idea of buying commercial warehouses and converting them into detention camps is so viscerally chilling to people that it's being opposed even in places which might otherwise support new prisons.

For those keeping score at home:

Seven years ago yesterday, this ad ran during the Super Bowl.

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."
