The fact that ICE is acquiring warehouses all over the country is a clear sign that the plan is to detain more and more people, for reasons that may or may not have to do with immigration. Congress, state legislatures, local governments and every single one of us need to shut this down.

Students Walk Out Across the Country to Protest ICE – Mother Jones www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE apparently lied about how a detainee suffered massive brain damage in their custody. Another likely crime not investigated.

You know things are going badly with the ICE assault when Trump releases the Epstein files as a distraction

Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Minneapolis and students across US staged walkouts to demand the withdrawal of federal immigration agents from Minnesota rte.ie/b/1556068

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024. If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

It’s not about convicting Don Lemon. That’s very unlikely on these facts and given the legal charges DOJ brought. So what’s it all about? Read about that here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

We were in federal court this week fighting unconstitutional processes at Alligator Alcatraz. Sworn testimony exposed “Alligator Alcatraz” for what it is: a facility built on cruelty, designed to isolate people from legal counsel.

Your moment of zen

MINNEAPOLIS: “Thousands and thousands— the people of Minneapolis are not letting up. Despite Tom Homan saying there’s a drawdown, these people don’t believe it. They want ICE OUT COMPLETELY.”

Putin is offering to stop his war crimes for just seven days. This is not the gesture of a confident commander; it is the maneuver of a leader whose army is close to breaking. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

Concentration Camps are here and people are already dying in them. Who’s tallying up the death toll⁉️

Don Lemon’s work as a journalist is protected by the First Amendment. His arrest is another chilling example of the Trump administration weaponizing the federal government against its critics. Don must be released immediately.

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024 UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M. HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

"In this moment, political reliability is more important than product-market fit. Bezos can afford to lose $80 million on a stupid movie, or $100 million on a newspaper. What he can’t afford is to find himself on the wrong side of Trump."

This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012. Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

This should piss everyone off, and our tax dollars paid for this. A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants. Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

Portland, Maine www.pressherald.com/2026/01/30/l...

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

Don Lemon on January 20 after the Justice Dept. first threatened him: "We were there chronicling protests... Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism, which was report on it and talk to the people who were involved... That's it... It's called journalism. First Amendment."

There’s no dignity to the office anymore.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

I doubt it’s a coincidence that Tulsi Gabbard was at the Georgia election office raid and Maduro is in custody. Her presence signals they could fabricate a foreign election interference claim. But not against Russia, of course.

The Aurora Borealis put on a show across the North Atlantic Ocean on Tuesday night.

The FBI and DOJ’s Civil Rights Division are now leading investigations in Alex Pretti’s death, with an ICE agency assisting.

The latest from the official White House troll account. Government by shitpost. This is planned and coordinated messaging.

Hard to believe that this is coming up in the news again. Trump wants to disrupt the midterms because he knows he’s going to lose. There was nothing to find then and nothing today. Trump has unraveled. He is unstable. He is unfit. Miller is pulling the strings.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker: “In the coming weeks, it will become clear whether Ukraine and Russia can reach a territorial agreement. Russia is losing thousands of soldiers per day. Total casualties on both sides may be 2 million. This is catastrophic.”

Q: Can you explain Tulsi Gabbard's role in DOJ activity regarding the Fulton County search? BLANCHE: She happened to be present in Atlanta. I saw the same photo you did. She doesn't work for the DOJ or FBI.

The suspect, Anthony Kazmierczak, was charged with assaulting a public official.

“Invoke the 25th”: Omar Fires Back After Trump Blames Her for Attack 🔥

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

Q: Do you have comment on the career prosecutors that are resigning in Minneapolis? BLANCHE: *walks away*

If Americans were really serious about fighting back against corporate America, they would boycott the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, a good number of people in this country aren’t willing to make that small sacrifice and it’s sad and infuriating.

Terrorism is the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to induce fear, intending to coerce governments or societies to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It often targets civilians and critical infrastructure to disrupt safety and advance specific agendas.

the federal government is arresting journalists not only without a warrant but after being explicitly denied a warrant i wonder what our freedom of speech warriors like Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss have to say about this
