little item for the Senate Dems to ponder: which of the reforms you’re currently floating is going to stop this?

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop. ICE must be abolished.

whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero

I got in SO MUCH trouble for this hugely viral tweet back in 2018 (from MAGA types mostly) but I stand by it (and in fact at the time the Auschwitz Museum defended me when people yelled at me that Auschwitz was a “death camp” not a concentration camp). My DENTIST congratulated me for this one

In case anyone thinks OP is exaggerating the point

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

🧵✊👇

Make no mistake, this is the model the Trump administration is looking to emulate with their warehouse purchases; they want a national chain of CECOTs.

Democrats should defund and restrain ICE to the degree possible. And they should insist on this condition at least: No ICE (or Border Patrol) anywhere near the polls or early voting election locations this fall.

the wapo bloodbath once again proves that our wealthy and powerful deserve neither their wealth or power

watch us, bitch

The cycle from Amazon killing bookstores to Bezos axing the books section of the Post is something

anyway

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

After paying $40M for the Melania movie, Bezos is firing hundreds of Washington Post reporters who tell us actual facts. All while turning the editorial board into a billionaire-defense operation. Too often, the billionaires who control our biggest media outlets are selling out our country.

Oh NOW they have a fuckin opinion, huh?

Alleged felons can get bail. They're presumed innocent, can go home, pending trial. Being in the US illegally is a civil offense, at worst a misdemeanor. So WHY are suspected illegal migrants, INCLUDING CHILDREN, in cement prisons, served worm-infested food, exposed to measles, denied medical care?!

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

ice is killing americans and democrats are still voting for trump's nominees

Not one more penny for this brutality. Congress needs to grow a spine and stand up to this regime. If you are represented by Democrats — call them. If you are represented by Republicans — call them. They need to hear from you too. (202) 224-3121

Cassidy said he was "not hopeful" that the Trump administration would significantly alter its immigration enforcement operations despite the arrival of Homan. "I think we would be fools in any way to step down. We would be absolute fools," he said. "It is, at best, a Trojan horse."

Those conversations are so pointless, too, tbh.

On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

Even if you don't have time to read all 83 pages of Judge Reyes's opinion barring the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status for 350,000+ Haitians, please at least check out the four-page introduction. It's a tour de force: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

My current cozy little hobby is reading up on the Nuremberg trials. One of the key things they did was use Nazi officials' braggadocious speeches as evidence. Give a speech taking credit for annexing Austria? Ok, that'll be a conviction for annexing Austria.

They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

The Army veteran arrested for protesting at a St. Paul church was just set free

LEMON: “They want to embarrass you. They want to intimidate you. They want to instill fear.” @donlemonofficial.bsky.social tells Kimmel he offered to turn himself into the DOJ, but heard nothing… until 12 Trump goons came and grabbed him as he covered the Grammys.

It’s so crazy how the richest man alive has a literal harem of birth mothers, owns a CSAM generation website, begged to hangout with the worlds most notorious child sex trafficker, tried to single handedly destroy the entire American social safety net and is an open Neo Nazi and racist

A white man in Dillard, Oregon was arrested for stopping people on the freeway to demand at gunpoint that they tell him if they were citizens. He shot and missed one + attempted to get another in his truck to bring to police. Before his spree, he called local PD to complain about "foreign" people.

🇸🇩 Sudan’s Kordofan region is racing toward catastrophe as civilians are starved, bombed, and forced to flee, Jan Egeland, head of the Norwegian Refugee Council reports, after his visit to South Kordofan. ⭕️ He warned the world is “once again failing civilians,” calling it Sudan’s most dangerous...

Released Palestinian prisoner Khaled Al-Sayfi before detention (left) and in hospital after his release (right), following severe health deterioration linked to his imprisonment and torture in Israeli custody.

People are still being profiled. People are still being wrongfully detained. People still can’t go to work or school out of fear.   Do not look away and do not buy any political spin coming out of DHS.   ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

ChatGPT is Trump’s biggest donor and is used by ICE. If you don’t like Trump or ICE, you should quit ChatGPT.

The Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza has not stopped. On Saturday, Israeli military airstrikes across Gaza killed at least 32 Palestinians, including six children, in one of its worst assaults during the so-called ceasefire.

House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it. While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

Don't let Republicans and transphobes re-write history when they're the ones who've been orchestrating a genocide with a cabal of pedophiles all along. Trans people, yet again, were the canaries in the coal mine, and everyone just looked and said, "huh, there's a dead bird in there".

Leftists in '25: We're not voting for Gavin Leftists in '26: We're not voting for Gavin Leftists in '27: We're not voting for Gavin Leftists in '28: We're not voting for Gavin Gavin in '28: *loses the general against a JD Vance/Erika Kirk ticket* Liberals in '28: Why would leftists do this? 😡

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota. I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers. And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate. Today it roars in Minneapolis and around the country — at the jack-booted thugs occupying our cities.
