Citizens should be made ready to block their unlawful federal access to the state's ballot boxes. Time to organize and prepare now. We should have learned our lesson from the 2000 "Brooks Brothers" intimidation campaign in the Florida recount. They did not stop then and they will not stop now.

Getting serious and disturbing deja vu from Trump telling everyone who will listen he plans on rigging elections and all the people paid handsomely by corporate media tripping over themselves assuring readers and followers he couldn’t possibly do it.

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed. If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

New research from @globalenergymon.bsky.social shows massive growth in fossil fuel infrastructure driven by, you guessed it, AI data centers. No new data centers without 24/7, additional renewable energy. Period. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jan/29/gas-power-ai-climate

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

NEW MEXICO DID THE THING!! www.aclu-nm.org/press-releas...

Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

This has all been public for a couple of decades. It's Thiel’s client Vance’s job to bring this to completion if Trump doesn't suffice. (2/2)

According to Harmeet Dhillon and Pam Bondi, disturbing a church service is a felony that deserves immediate arrest for. Think they'll go after these ICE agents?

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

Fulton County officials say they're filing a federal lawsuit challenging the FBI's seizure of 2020 election records in Georgia.

The President of the United States is going around blowing up national landmarks like he's the aliens in Independence Day

The "Roots, Rhythm, and Revolution" exhibition at Rogue Gallery in Medford includes hundreds of works of art by youth participates of the Black Alliance & Social Empowerment (BASE) Southern Oregon organization.

Federal agents tear-gassed families and children today in Portland. There are two approaches to counterinsurgency strategy: either you try to win the hearts and minds of the general population, or you set out to intimidate or exterminate them. This administration has clearly chosen the latter.

This is tear gassing protesters just for protesting. There is no threat, and the only danger presented is ICE behaving recklessly. There is no provocation; this is just straight up assault.

I join my City Councilors in calling for prosecution of ICE for this flagrant violation of city and state law. This is illegal, and if ICE does this to families and children on a sunny peaceful daytime protest, I shudder to think what they do without that kind of daylight and public scrutiny.

Oregon's J6 candidate for governor in the GOP primary, David Medina, held his inaugural campaign event at a Christian Nationalist church in the suburbs of Portland. One of the pastors there grew up in Alaska, where he was a worship leader at his dad's church...the church Sarah Palin attended.

A jury has ordered the city of Seattle to pay more than $30 million over the unsolved, fatal shooting of a teenager at the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest,” a protest zone that arose in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd.

The fact that there is no real organised effort to inflict consequences on those in the Epstein files and they are instead just being used as political entertainment should tell you that none of our current democratic or justice systems are fit for purpose. Not one.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps. This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

In an interview with MPR News, Liam's mother gave an update on her son and her own safety. She said Liam asks again and again, “Mommy, why don’t you pick us up?” Or “Mommy, we don’t want to be here anymore. This place is ugly.”

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.

ICE currently has a code of professional conduct. Among other things, it requires agents to be "professional, police, respectful, considerate, helpful and patient in all official activities ... even in the face of considerable provocation."

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

Truly insane

Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me

Amazing and encouraging thread:

An amazing thread breaking down whats been happening on the ground for months. But this resistance has been brewing for years. I think the mutual aid networks begun in the first year of the ongoing Covid crisis showed people what anarchist organizing can do for them. There was no going back.

what's cool is that all these problems are solved by abolishing ICE

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

Thank you Oregon legislators.

What that means is the new ICE post-any-reforms will be a co-creation of the White House & Democrats; an agreed-upon new form for what is our now new secret police. This means the next time some falls to an ICE bullet, there will be lots of blame to go around, which the @democrats.org will share. 5/

Another question: which of these demands would have obviously prevented the recent string of ICE murders? That the answer is zero is outrageous.

BREAKING: The chief federal judge in Minnesota has just ORDERED the Acting Director of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appear personally in court, UNDER OATH, this Friday and warned that he could be held in CONTEMPT for the agency’s repeated violations of court orders. “The court’s patience is at an end.”

The location I went to on Gilbert & Warner had assistance from Gilbert PD. People came to observe but most missed the raid. However I spoke to Zipps employees who showed me footage of their co-worker getting taken. They told me that agents ordered all non-white employees show proof of citizenship.

Keith Porter. Shot & killed by off duty ICE agent. Silverio Villegas González. Shot & killed by ICE after dropping his kids off at school. Marimar Martinez. Shot 5 times by ICE after they said “do something b*tch”. None of the agents responsible have been investigated or charged.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Alex Pretti's gun is like Renee Good's car: irrelevant to the central fact that they were murdered by ICE. ICE wants us to debate whether Pretti should have been carrying because that avoids the central fact. Pro-carry, anti-carry--that has as much to do w/ his murder as his fashion choices. Zero.

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

Verification (establishing truth), Deliberation (arguing about it), and Accountability (binding power to it). When these work, you have substance. When they break, you slide into performance, and eventually, simulation, and people recognise this, even if they don't use a shared terminology.
