There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.

We already have a warrant requirement. It's called the US Constitution. If that's not fucking binding them, what the hell does your little agreement mean?

Literally half the country wants to abolish ICE and the Democrats are going to make them pinky swear not to deport U.S. citizens anymore

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About https://theonion.com/democrats-sick-of-being-blamed-for-cowardice-on-issues-1847675639/

The *things* russians are doing: invading a sovereign state, murdering civilians, creating a humanitarian disaster in extreme cold, abducting children, razing towns to the ground, raping, torturing, looting

lander should run against schumer. i'm serious. schumer has to invent imaginary friends and lander is out there making friends and doing retail politics like a boss.

lander is that dude that shows up, underrated superpower

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island). The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

"Let his legacy continue to heal" -- Elizabeth Warren reads quotes from Alex Pretti's final student into the record

so about 12 hours after the media breathlessly writes “trump shifts tone” stories hes essentially encouraging assassination and threatening to jail the minneapolis mayor

The extent to which residents of Minneapolis are more civic, courageous, and patriotic than business elites, conservative luminaries, and Republican members of Congress, is really, really striking. It’s a lesson not to be forgotten. It’s one that would not have surprised Hubert Humphrey.

Our government may be filled with incompetent psychopaths perfectly happy to throw people to the wolves, but you can still contribute to causes that matter.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Just saw this, and it makes me wonder how you think you should still be in the United States Senate — let alone a Democrat — if you’re going to follow up the first two paragraphs with the third. This is a dead child, and your response sounds like Al Gore talking about Reinventing Government.

Breaking per NBC News — CBP has shot and critically wounded another person, this time in Arizona. Very few details available at this time.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter. He's got to go.

Kristi Noem and Kash Patel are right: Alex Pretti had no right to possess a gun during a protest. What if he had killed someone? by Kyle Rittenhouse

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Just say the government is lying. The goal of journalism should be to inform, not gaslight.

Shameful - @nytimes.com

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

My lying eyes appear to contradict Kristi Noem.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Again…. Just under 48 hours ago….. seven democrats and all the so called “reasonable” (concerned on Twitter and cnn types) voted to fully fund ICE at its bloated, out of control level. ICE is better funded than most militaries

Stephen Miller called the victim, an ICU nurse at the VA filming ICE, a “domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Greg Bovino said he “wanted to massacre law enforcement.” You saw the videos. How can any Republican not call for their resignations?

This is ok tho

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

IMO they hoped (still hope) to provoke violent resistance, in order to set aside the rule of law. This isn't about breaking public resistance, it is about "proving" the liberal order isn't up to containing the "disorder" which they hope to provoke for this purpose.

65 Polish soldiers died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump's insults have not gone down well wyborcza.pl/7,75968,3255...

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands. An administration of total inhumanity.

Epstein levels of expertise no doubt

@bencollins.bsky.social you got scooped

And so the circle of @irhottakes.bsky.social's prophecy is complete

Every single decision about prosecuting Trump and holding him accountable has been made not with the objective of maximizing the odds of conviction and consequences, but minimizing the odds someone will say Dems are being political or targeting Trump. Consequently they failed utterly at both.

This picture making the rounds on reddit, Columbia Heights. I'm not OK.

This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

Tomorrow at a mainline news outlet near you: President deserves Nobel Peace Prize because he didn't invade Greenland.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Quite the statement from the Prime Minister of Poland

" ..the universal law of monopolistic society. Under it, science, too, is controlled by trustees. ... We, who want to escape such control, remain independent, determine the content and scope of our own production—we are unethical!" -- Adorno to Horkheimmer.

“I should’ve brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders” It’s truly wild that the idea that Putin is pulling the strings on this Greenland stuff isn’t discussed more when he is the clear winner

Jesus famously did not disrupt proceedings at a place of worship and call out religious hypocrisy

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

The view from my Monad is that we need to be more socially engaged. As my opinion is based on my understanding of devine beneficence and the principle of sufficient reason, it is surely correct.

Down with reactionary centerism! They aren't really libs - they are by-and-large corporatist status-quo dead-enders.
