ICE descends on Maine. "[Gov. Janet] Mills said, ‘Look, Maine knows what good law enforcement looks like because our law enforcement are held to high professional standards.... they don’t wear a mask..., and they don’t arrest people in order to fill a quota.’” abcnews.go.com/US/dhs-launc...

I will be looking for an RA soon as my amazing postdoc has got a permanent role on our team. I will be looking for an emerging Māori researcher who has a social science background preferably :) dm me if you know of anyone or want to kōrero

Pouring more money into DHS while it operates with impunity and a blatant disregard for human life is unconscionable. You don’t fix abuse by funding it. You stop it by cutting off its funding and dismantling the institution that’s terrorizing communities. tinyurl.com/mr3em3k8

Score for specificity! 🏆

Federal authorities have claimed that the 55-year-old’s death was the result of a suicide, but a witness has alleged he saw guards pinning and choking the man.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Flood the offices of your congressman and senators with calls for Trump to be removed from office. They are the ones who can actually do it. 5calls.org

CBC News, egregiously both-sidesing fascism once again. At some point, you just need to call out Vance's lies, you guys.

"He just lied. Over and over again he would lie in the most condescending and smug manner." @timmiller.bsky.social and @stephruhle.bsky.social break down Vance's claim that feds in Minneapolis are trying to lower the temperature - while the nation sees photos of a five-year-old boy detained by ICE.

Today was about letting the people see the difference between noise and credibility. Jack Smith had the facts and stood on business, while others focused on distractions instead of substance.

Possums are unbelievably adorable, on top of being such unique mammals and a wonderful part of the ecosystem. There were so many that came around the house in Texas and I’m going to miss having them around.

These people are as sick as the people who herded children onto trains in 1940.

Who would have thought that Trump's regime would consist of slime who engage in abusing children.

Is that why they’re sending these poor people to Texas? To get that administrator?

Check his tweet from Jan 7 2021. He was saying something totally different. I stand Fanone and all those that put their lives on the line in the attack on the Capital.

Oh, that's easy - it won't...because they don't give a damn if the poor go hungry. Hell, it helps their goals if the poor don't eat. If you're getting "Aktion T4" vibes...you're not alone on that.

I still think about Brooke Rollins holding up a $3 plate of chicken and broccoli. If we’re calling that the standard and telling people to eat three meals a day ($9), someone needs to explain how SNAP is supposed to cover food on $6–$7 a day.

Here we go... Trump and Pam Bondi's DOJ, HSI and FBI are arresting journalists who have done nothing wrong and calling them rioters. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Facts- Right after Renee Good shifted into drive, Johnathan Ross unholstered his weapon. He shot her three times as she tried to drive away from him and then called her a “fucking bitch.” The DOJ needs a massive upheaval and real fucking quick.

Swalwell: My Republican colleagues, are a joke. These guys are so lucky they're not under oath because they would have to tell you what they really think of Trump. They call him a scumbag. Everyone remembers Matt Gaetz laughing at how stupid he thought Trump was.

Send them to Texas, Florida, Louisiana, all the states that have by far more illegal immigrants. This is all for show, he is a piece of shit.

Explain how this is more important than prosecuting an insurrection or stolen secret documents?

Why are they not sending them to Texas? Texas has 'millions' more immigrants than Minnesota. Answer: This is not about immigration.

Not kidnap, fool! How would you like your little, brown five year old son kidnapped?!

That's a non sequitur. The 5 year old, Liam Ramos, was arrested and then detained. Arrest does not require criminal charges to be brought, only that somebody be taken into custody (which Ramos clearly was). Vance may believe that the arrest was justified. But it's still an arrest.

James Donald Bowman is a demonstrable liar:

JD doesn't *care* that he's lying; "If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do." www.npr.org/2024/09/15/n...

Our billionaire Treasury Secretary called Denmark “irrelevant.” Hmm. Unlike the US, in Denmark, health care & college are free, the starting wage is $22 an hour, paid parental leave is 1 year, paid vacation is 6 weeks & all workers get pensions. That seems very relevant to me.

The main road has been sprayed with sugar beet juice with added salt in preparation to much colder temps and possible heavy snow. I'll be staying home...

Entering homes without a warrant is going to get someone shot. I would not be surprised if this is what Trump and Miller want as a excuse for the Insurrection Act.

“Canada cannot solve all the world's problems, but we can show that another way is possible: that the arc of history isn't destined to be warped towards authoritarianism and exclusion, it can still bend towards progress and justice," Carney said. By Alex Ballingall via @thestar.com

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress gave $30 billion to ICE. You know what also would have cost $30 billion? Extending those tax credits to help people afford health care this year. We should repeal Trump’s money for ICE and lower costs instead.

In 2025, Trump regime officials said Trump's bruises on his right hand were because he shook so many hands. (see first photo) Now in Davos Trump has a huge bruise on his left hand. Is this for IV medications? Did they switch hands bc veins in right hand collapsed--which happens? This is a COVER UP!

Now, more than ever, we really need trial lawyers to serve as our representatives in Washington so they can properly cross examine witnesses and easily demonstrate why and how the Republicans are charlatans, liars, propagandists and deeply, persistently unpatriotic. Surely we can do better.

You must be watching a different hearing from what I’m watching. Smith is clearly standing up to the lying Republicans and answering with facts and the truth. It’s true the 5 min rule hurts getting all the facts out but that happens in every hearing.

Jack Smith is unflappable. Sticking to the facts and the rule of law shows up the Trump supporters.
