So....the Fourth Reich?

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

“All children held in immigration detention should be immediately released, and these facilities should be permanently shuttered.”

Tricia McLaughlin is reportedly out at DHS, according to multiple sources. She’s a very close ally of Noem. That news, plus stories like the below which are coming out daily, strongly suggest the knives are clearly out for Noem inside DHS.

THREAD. Every day new evidence emerges of ICE agents committing the *most serious violent crimes* in our criminal code and then *lying about it.* It's important to draw correct lessons from this, but anyone with sense is excluded from mainstream news.

There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.

3 more attacks yesterday. 11 dead. Feb is on track to be the 3rd-deadliest month of illegal US boat strikes. We must never normalize this, warns WOLA’s latest podcast with drug policy director John Walsh. Extrajud. executions per 7 days: Sep: 4.0 Oct: 10.4 Nov: 4.9 Dec: 9.0 Jan: 0.7 Feb (1-16): 7.9

" In a free society, the burden cannot be on us to prove our legal status on demand. Otherwise, we’d be a country where everyone — citizens and non-citizens alike — must be prepared at all times to prove their legal right to be here. We’d be a cliched “papers, please” dystopia..."

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Imagine being the family of the service-member. This is how much our government values our service-members. Being cruel is a higher priority than the safety & recovery of our troops.

People should watch the clip if they get a chance

“… administrators say some of their Haitian graduates working in health care can’t renew driver’s licenses or work authorization.” "The school trains certified nursing assistants and licensed practical nurses—positions already in short supply.” baynews9.com/fl/tampa/new...

Administrative warrants are hall passes written by the bad kids at school

Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

A year later Weev would play a key role in professionalizing the trolls who played a key role in getting Trump elected.

Supermajorities of Americans think ICE and Border Patrol are out of control and want Congress to do something about it. Democrats are aligned with the public. Republicans hold the unpopular position — and keeping the heat on them is how we win this fight.

Chelsea Lakeisha Gray made more money last night than in a full season at the W. Allisha Gray, slightly more than a quarter of her annual salary. As Adam Silver tries to gaslight players into conceding, what was stopping the #WNBA from offering similar incentives for All Star Weekend for example?

Scholars of genocide have written so much about this kind of dehumanizing propaganda. Now it's happening here.

Don’t worry, the guy who helped cover up the Ohio State scandal perpetuated by men all over the Epstein files is chair of the judiciary committee so I’m sure there will be fair oversight

In other words, the vast majority of the $45 billion in reconciliation funding is going to go to the new system of warehouse detention camps. The other $6.8 billion will presumably serve mainly to keep the existing system of detention running without any other major changes.

More than 100 refugees were detained by immigration agents. Many were sent to a Texas detention center where 3 men have died. A judge has ordered their release. Reporter: Kate Morrissey @bgirledukate.bsky.social Producer: Cerise Castle @cerisecastle.bsky.social Editor: Myles Kramer

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel. One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

In other words, long enough that habeas petitions can be filed on their behalf in Minnesota before they're whisked off to an immigration detention facility somewhere in the Fifth Circuit (where, under that court's current law, they wouldn't be eligible for a bond hearing).

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store

Important thread on the ongoing, expanded occupation of DC 👉🏽

We're living a terrifying new reality. Trump's DHS mob are killing US citizens, kidnapping kids and terrorizing hard working immigrants - including the farm workers who feed us. Call your Senators TODAY! Tell them don't fund ICEs terror campaign! act.seiu.org/a/do_not-fun... #ICEout

BREAKING Judge Boasberg ORDERS the Trump admin to facilitate the return of the more than 100 men spirited out of the country last year without notice or a hearing. Plaintiffs may also submit habeas petitions from abroad, he says. Doc buff.ly/rccakD7

A note from a 7-year-old who was living in Austin, Texas. Held in immigration detention for 70 DAYS. “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” THIS is the human impact of Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Drag every one of these monsters into the public eye

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Juana Rodriguez, a U.S. citizen born in Idaho, said she was among those detained. The ACLU said in its news release that her 3-year-old son cried as officers told him to hold on to her pocket.

I'm writing a book on the history of US government (mis)use of collected information and this is one thing that worries me about relying solely on "legal firewalls" to protect sensitive and essential data----laws have been changed and laws have been ignored multiple times between the 1920s and now.

This is true: The Spirit were able to start Rodman, Bethune, Santos, and Sarr together one time: that 4-1 win over the Current on Aug. 25. They were together for all of 71 minutes. Bethune's first pitch knee injury came 3 days later, & Sarr hasn't played since 9/7/2024.

fuck the salary cap

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Attempted child rape, domestic violence, detainee sexual abuse & taking bribes are among ICE & immigration officials' documented crimes. Experts say this pattern of crimes committed by immigration officials could accelerate given the sheer volume of new employees compounded by poor hiring practices.

“Being an elementary school student in the United States is more deadly than being an ICE officer.”

this is from November but then again I don’t think he’s seen any news that would make it out of date

Yesterday marked eight months of detention for Hayam El Gamal and her five children—ages 18, 16, 9, and 5-year-old twins—who are being detained at an immigration facility in Dilley, Texas. The kids have begun skipping meals out of depression. The 9 year old says she wishes she was dead.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY. I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

I realize the local police are basically doing that here, but it would have a wider reach if congressional leaders did it and it would absolutely infuriate Tom Emmers and company

The mood I would like from anyone running for office is "angel with a flaming sword."

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

“The truth is, he’s not the same boy he was before. Ever since he went in there, he’s suffered psychological trauma; he’s very scared,” said his dad, Adrian Conejo Arias. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy.’”
