Hey look, more assholes to identify: stopicealert.ddns.net/login/?alert...

Right now many people are correlating the full faces & identities of ICE agents with the mostly covered faces and other features of ICE agents who have engaged in criminal conduct. So ICE agents in airports is a wonderful thing.

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

ICE is apparently raiding the Oculus, the transit hub next to the World Trade Center.

America simply cannot afford to allow the bandits, propagandists, and sadists who’ve been running this administration to simply slide back into positions of power and privilege from which to plot their next fascist takeover. trib.al/NAfd098

“Unfortunately, because Congress is not taking any steps to rein ICE officers in, there really is no option other than states protecting their constituents’ rights," said Joanna Schwartz, a law professor at UCLA.

This is very good, focusing on the specific components of ICE’s capacity, and how people can counter it. Don’t forget: the regime’s desire for authoritarian domination is bottomless, but its capacity to impose that is limited. And in some ways, it’s decreasing. Eventually, that is how it falls.

"But of course, there is one difference. The forty people killed on Flight 93 were murdered by terrorists from foreign countries. Alex Pretti and Renee Good were murdered by terrorists acting under the aegis of the president"—and it was Pretti and Good who were labeled "terrorists."👇

A former ICE instructor is expected to testify that new agents are trained to run roughshod over constitutional rights, including the right against a home invasion, and that the federal agency is “broken."

Healthy democracies punish authoritarians. They don't reelect them. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

This is why we must #ImpeachThemAll

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate. And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials. As the Constitution requires. Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

1/ Ukrainian cyber activists just pulled off a brutal counterstrike. Fake “Starlink unlocking” bots were launched to target Russian occupiers. The result? Data. Coordinates. Money. And a lot of very confused “heroes.”

“Unfortunately, because Congress is not taking any steps to rein ICE officers in, there really is no option other than states protecting their constituents’ rights," said Joanna Schwartz, a law professor at UCLA.

Reason magazine sucks. They're so high on their own supply re government power, they won't distinguish between, e.g., a statute forgiving student loans v. ICE & CBP abducting & murdering Americans. Here's editor Nick Gillespie doing his both-sides thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNwc...

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

So (7) says to preserve—but strikes me more as create—the right of state and local govts to file criminal charges in excessive force cases. Details will matter, but if that’s a statutory waiver of supremacy clause immunity, that strikes me as potentially a REALLY big deal.

Estonia has seized a Russian-linked container in the Gulf of Finland. Special forces boarded the ship and detained 23 Russian citizens.

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

"The Constitution can help protect us against oppression by both state and federal authorities. The 10th Amendment is a valuable tool for countering the latter," writes @ilyasomin.bsky.social.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and Donald Trump’s other lackeys should find lawyers because they must be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to our country.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Interesting development to keep an eye on. They’ll have to work quickly when opportunities arise, and labor against several disadvantages on the ground, to secure a decent shot at testing the limits of “Supremacy Clause immunity” in an age of populist nationalism

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Since Lindsey Graham is now on the "we should own Greenland" side, go back and read @saletan.bsky.social's meticulous documentation of how Lindsey Graham's notion of getting Trump to support sane foreign policy failed and corrupted only himself: lnk.thebulwark.com/4pR7K6l

Countdown until a John Mearsheimer take about how Greenland provoked US aggression by being part of NATO?

Quite a thing to see your name on the front page of the newspaper.

"Without predicting outcomes, however, it’s worth both clarifying the state of the law—especially in the face of false claims from the Trump administration—and identifying some of the key issues Minnesota prosecutors will have to consider," writes @cshaplaw.bsky.social.

Perhaps of interest to my friends in Washington government, legislative, judicial, or executive branch. 1. Some information on creating a state-law cause of action against federal officials for federal constitutional torts. Sort of a state-law Bivens. statedemocracy.law.wisc.edu/featured/202...

The preening guy talking about epistemic closure blocks all replies.

The “if she had complied, she’d still be alive” line that we’re hearing from ICE defenders is the mantra of apologists for security forces in dictatorships through the ages.

The Trace has identified 14 shootings by federal immigration agents as of January 7. They include the shootings of three people observing or documenting ICE raids. www.thetrace.org/2025/12/immi...

A country that blows up foreign fishing boats for no reason is one that will shoot its own citizens for no reason.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

NEW: More than 300 judges — including 33 appointed by Trump himself — have now rebuffed the Trump administration’s bid to dramatically expand efforts to lock people up while they fight deportation. www.politico.com/news/2026/01/05/trump-administration-immigrants-mandatory-detention-00709494

It's an ANSWER rally. Show up if you want to stand next to lefties who are pretty happy about the Russian invasion & mass murder of Ukrainians.

House Judiciary Committee releases on New Years Eve (in an obvious attempt to bury this info) the Jack Smith deposition transcript. I recommend doing a word search for "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." And explanation of disenfranchisement of urban areas. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Kavanaugh goes out of his way to pen a footnote not having to deal with the case at hand. He appears to be trying to narrow the forces he unleashed with his prior opinion allowing for race- and ethnicity-based #KavanaughStops

The Epstein files is the shiny object distracting the American public from the growing immigrant gulag archipelago. Take it from a Trump appointed judge: “ICE has been deploying its ‘holding rooms’ in a manner that shocks the conscience,” Judge Brown wrote. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/n...

Not sure it's the right moment.

Kaja Kallas: we have to be really clear-eyed. We have one aggressor and one victim. And the one that needs security guarantees is Ukraine, not Russia. In last 100 years, Russia has attacked at least 19 countries, some as many as three or four times. None of those countries has ever attacked Russia
