From Georgia‘s Facebook account — Bluesky is only allowing me to upload a short clip.

Reposting this resource for folks to help track DHS assaults on communities around the country. www.chron.com/news/houston...

"De-escalation" was always complete bullshit. White House has been escalating all week.

As a middle-aged white man with lots of obnoxious takes and an unpleasant voice, it is ridiculous that I am not a more frequent podcast guest

Relatedly, Isias Lopez, an independent photographer arrested in Aug for being assaulted by goons, was acquitted last night. I think he's guy in black w/the yellow stripes on shoulder. They refused to give his camera back & tried to prevent him from showing his work www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su6b...

A tale of two screenshots.

I don’t want to think about Trump’s latest post about Alex Pretti, but we all must, esp. as funding discussions continue. The president is talking about the “stock” of a man subjected to an extrajudicial killing by federal agents who threw him to the ground and shot him repeatedly in the back.

He was arrested for being a journalist. Y’all should try it sometime.

What's morale like at CBP & ICE right now? New survey data are damning. *21% of CBP respondents (9% of ICE respondents) believe their agencies' political leaders maintain high standards of integrity. *Only 23% at CBP (18% at ICE) feel confident they could report illegal acts without retribution

More on their morale here: bit.ly/4q3NnD3

Trump's DOJ has arrested Don Lemon for doing journalism, while the goons who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in broad daylight continue to walk the streets. This is America under fascism.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Don Lemon being arrested, along with the arrests of people in Minneapolis who’ve been trained as observers, amid a negotiation on a DHS bill where you able to just pocket a CR as a reprieve is a good demonstration of why a hardline against funding here is not only morally necessary but smart as well

this aged poorly

This is what I'm talking about when I say that journalists are, at this point, getting themselves shot. People have shot journalists, in America, at the behest of Trump, and they still do this.

truly is astounding how journalists don't seem to understand *at all* the mortal threat they are facing if trump wins

This right here is the beginnings of the result of what DOGE was really up to. Not *really* slashing stuff, but getting access to as many government citizen databases and joining them to be able to target people quickly and comprehensively across all their exposure to the federal government.

So here's the rub: Dozens of Stonepeak's investors are public-employee retirement funds, including many in blue states. And the human rights abuses happening on Omni's ICE flights would probably violate a lot of their ESG policies -- IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THEM.

This is Stonepeak's CEO, Michael Dorrell. Australian immigrant billionaire. He keeps a pretty low profile but he sure loves real estate.

NEW: Meet the private-equity firm -- and its billionaire immigrant CEO -- making millions off some of ICE's cruelest deportation flights. After a five-month investigation, my story for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Yes, @washingtonpost.com, as you lose your own relevance, at least you recognize that Trump pardons criminals, especially fraudsters, hires criminals, and makes deals with fraudsters. But you don't seem to investigate, the why. Sad.

Tesla is paying $0 in taxes *again* for 2025 despite $5.7B in profits thanks to tax breaks and writing off previous business losses. Also in 2025, Elon Musk’s wealth increased by $194B, largely from Tesla stock and his $139B pay package. But undocumented immigrants are scamming the system?

kicking a taillight means that the government can shoot you in the back 10 times while you’re being held down in the street apparently

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

Here's Tillis making the case for getting rid of Miller: He's costing you the midterms, Mr. President. Won't mean much from Tillis, but if big donors pick it up, maybe! That said, Musk will probably be funding the whole campaign and is in throuple with Miller. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Getting rid of Miller should be a priority, akin to getting Musk out of DOGE, but admittedly much harder. There are other people with billions to give to Trump. Trump only has one comfort Nazi.

The term being used in constitutional obeserver training is "civil initiative". You can participate in a civil initiative or you can participate in civil disobediance

What is a centrist? Most people will tell you 2+2=4. Donald Trump will tell you 2+2=6. So the centrist insists that 2+2=5. Trump gives ICE a free hand to murder with impunity. Millions of people conclude that ICE must be abolished. And the centrists? Watch closely what they do next in Minnesota.

Why is he turning into a D list DC rogues gallery villain

Nonsense. It's not possible to steal AI technology. I know this because Google's own LLMs are built using a complete copy of my legal blog, and that's somehow not stealing because, as Google says, a complete copy of my legal blog is both trivial and utterly essential for their tech to work.

Um. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social it's already against the law to deport American citizens. What are we even doing here?

…hm. Seems problematic.

Superintendent's email confirms it: 30-day surge starting Feb 4, target list already in hand. Anyone heading there: Haitian Community Help & Support Center and G92 coalition are coordinating. Document everything.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Moving very slowly down the sidewalk here at the vigil for Alex Pretti on 23rd St. in NYC. Seems like a large turnout.

This... is not the role of ODNI. This is so fucked up in all sorts of ways that will have lasting implications. I recognize it's not going to happen, but this is something that Congress should freak the fuck out about.

there’s something about the fixation on polling when people are being brutalized in the streets by federal agents that doesn’t sit quite right

sir you dropped this 👑

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

States, not the federal government, have the authority to run elections, including maintaining accurate voter rolls. The Trump administration’s aggressive efforts to access voter files is a clear attempt to take that power away. bit.ly/49HOmCY

WATCH — @repmcgovern.bsky.social : “Republicans have done everything they can to help those who are well off get more, and those who are struggling get less… tax cuts for millionaires & billionaires while their big ugly bill cut $1 TRILLION from Medicaid.”
