"Life cannot just be about one sad thing after another," says the man responsible—directly or indirectly—for like 90% of the sad things that happened in the past year.

Join Southend Indivisible and a coalition of organizations to protest Amazon’s capitulation to ICE and the fascist Trump regime. THIS FRIDAY, February 13th at 1pm to 3pm at the Amazon Spheres! www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

I'm not saying that Canada is perfect, I'm saying that the bar is pretty low right now.

President Mandela said, "there can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children."

What this man is describing would seem to constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Other governments could and should contest the abuses he’s describing the U.S. government committing against migrants.

Join us Friday to tell Amazon: #DumpICE! AWS has big contracts with ICE, CBP & Palantir. On the day Alex Pretti was murdered—in the same week that Amazon laid off 16,000 people—CEO Andy Jassy attended a private gala screening of the Melania premiere. Tell Amazon to stop propping up the regime!

This point needs to be elevated: By transforming DOJ into his personal “retribution” machine, Trump has endangered the public, prevented the prosecution of -child pornography, -terrorism & -major violent crime. Trump & Bondi are forcing out the principled prosecutors who handle those cases.

"I saw people laying in feces. People throwing up, people laying in urine." The former worker provided WUSA9 with what they claim are internal head count sheets from December showing…47, 50 and 56 detainees in the same cell…and as many as 50 in an even smaller cell. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

And the women’s team: - the daughter of Chinese immigrants who rebuffed an aggressive campaign to get her to skate for China - the daughter of an Italian immigrant embryologist mom who named her after a Michelle Pfeiffer character - the pansexual daughter of a Texas cop (who is her biggest fan)

The Institute of Museum and Library Services’ grant application process has taken a political turn under Trump. “It’s clear the administration wants a whitewashed story,” said a Republican who led the agency from 2019 to 2024. “And that’s wrong.”

Anti-choice extremists in Indiana are trying to force the release of records for the very few legal abortions in the state (146 in 2024). The purpose is to intimidate patients and providers and expose them to harassment, arrests, and violence.

“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.” Conditions in a San Diego concentration camp, via message hurled out in a bottle.

Another addition to the website to help us built *systems* and not just have me trying to do everything alone: If you'd like to adopt a rent that you can either *cover immediately* and fundraise for, or just pay outright, please fill out this form and we will contact you via Signal.

Homeland Security is monitoring anti-ICE Reddit posts, an intelligence bulletin leaked to me reveals: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/homeland-s...

I just emailed Joe Kernen and asked him to resign. If he can’t provide neutral coverage about Wall Street and economics, then he should step aside for someone who can. [email protected]

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year. She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again. Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

Thank you for the coverage, @npr.org. If you, dear reader, would like to help other people observing ICE in Minnesota, please contribute to our dash cam drive - more than a thousand have been distributed so far, and demand remains high: ottergoose.net/dashcam/

Not that it would be okay to do this to an undocumented immigrant either but THIS GUY IS A LEGAL IMMIGRANT and also his lawyer hand delivered his medication and they REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM. Enraging! How do ANY of these people live with themselves?

if you spend any significant amount of time on X the everything app, your brain is being cooked

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

According to an organizer, “all signatories are full-time employees, and nearly 30% are Google Cloud workers.”

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017. He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.

I sent a request for comment to Justice Kavanaugh through the Supreme Court’s Public Information Office about the transcript out of Minnesota, highlighting Kira Kelley’s comment. As with my prior requests at 50 and 100 days, I have heard nothing from the justice. www.lawdork.com/p/150-days-o...

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

The sculpture was installed by members of a veterans organization and other community leaders in protest of federal immigration operations.

Starbucks Workers United baristas are escalating their fight for a fair contract. I urge you to keep boycotting Starbucks — and delete its app from your phone. Workers are fed up with low pay, chaotic scheduling, understaffing, and illegal union busting. Let's keep fighting corporate greed.

Have you signed in PRO for the Millionaires Tax? Make sure you do before time runs out! Take action ➡️ https://investwanow.org/sign-pro-millionaires-tax

The admin is creating incentives to not hire POC unless they clearly, explicitly have objectively superior CVs. Otherwise, you have to create an extensive record justifying the hire. Meanwhile, if you reject POC, you are confident the administration won't pursue a lawsuit.

It might be easier to believe the Trump administration's outrage about protesters having disrupted a church service if the administration itself hadn't spent months harassing and hunting churchgoers on church grounds. www.thebulwark.com/p/ice-was-te...

Great work by Greg Sargent. We are, right now, deciding whether we want to be a land of giant concentration camps and ethnic cleanings. newrepublic.com/article/2060...

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

I gathered a few resources you can use & take action with to protect your communities from ICE: stopicetoday.com

If you can't quit Amazon and are a Prime member who wants them to do more on climate, check this out:

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Seems real bad that the end point of ~25 years of War on Terror architecture is an agency of thin-skinned goons who will send armed men to your house if you email the government asking for compassion on behalf of someone else. newrepublic.com/post/206088/...

This is one of the most sickening things I have ever read. slate.com/news-and-pol...

You cannot do "commonsense reform" for a secret police force that's declared itself exempt from constitutional requirements. You cannot reform ultraviolent agencies that have been corrupt for decades and now have accountability only to the president's goons and lackeys.

“.. Not a single Republican member of Congress showed up to the public forum .. on the violence inflicted by federal immigration agents, featuring testimony from the brothers of Renee Good ..” @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/post/206100/...

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

Is it normal for the publisher of a local news outlet to contribute $5k to a candidate's campaign and for the news outlet to run an unbylined story about why that candidate's loss was merely a matter of low turnout — without disclosing the publisher's contribution

Hutchins Special City Council Meeting WED FEB 4 @ 6pm (arrive @ 5pm) 400 JJ Lemon Rd Hutchins, TX 75141 DFW labor, immigrant, & civil rights groups are gathering outside in support of the people’s & the council’s fight against the announced ICE concentration facility in their city. SOLIDARITY!

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained body cam footage of the FBI raid on Fulton County's elections hub. In one video, Fulton police and the FBI spar over the search warrant to seize the 2020 ballots. "One way or another, the records are coming with us today," an agent said.

Instead of bringing down costs, Trump and his Big, Beautiful Bill added over $3 trillion to the debt for a billionaire tax giveaway. Now, Dr. Oz says you should pay off Trump’s debt bomb instead of retiring after working hard your whole life. This is dystopian.
