According to Cooley, because these individuals are not objectively the lowest in status, the findings suggest that “racialized perceptions—rather than objective socioeconomic position—are reliably associated with the political outcomes examined here.”

“All children held in immigration detention should be immediately released, and these facilities should be permanently shuttered.”

STREISAND EFFECT: Trump censored Colbert so of course 7.2 million people viewed the interview. It would be a real shame if the FCC were inundated with Equal Time violation complaints every time Fox/Newsmax/CBS/etc interview a Republican candidate. Contact info in next comment. #EqualTime

Stephen Colbert taped a 'Late Show' interview with James Talarico, a candidate in the Democratic Senate primary in Texas, but then CBS lawyers intervened. Here's the interview on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

Good riddance! I'd bet that now she'll parlay her DHS time into a lucrative gig as a private prison lobbyist or RW media hack.

Iranian state security police and ICE are using nearly identical tactics in attacking and beating peaceful protesters. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort join a long list of actions that the Trump administration has taken in its dangerous escalation targeting the free press. Join CAP on February 18 to hear from journalists and experts about these attacks on press freedoms. https://ampr.gs/46KLGn7

This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.

. @ourshallowstate.bsky.social — Thank you, this is incredibly thoughtful, and you put your finger on something essential here. What we’re living through isn’t just political conflict, it’s emotional conditioning. The normalization of cruelty, the absence of shame, the refusal to acknowledge harm. 👇🏼

Yep. None of us can be free until ICE is abolished.

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism. There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision. Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

Broken bones, burning eyes: How Trump’s DHS deploys “less lethal” weapons on protesters Horrific details here about the damage ICE does with “less lethal” weapons. One victim, still recovering from jaw reconstruction, calls ICE agents of the Antichrist. Can’t disagree with that assessment.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data. Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Today.

As reconstituted and instructed by Trump, ICE meets every element of the definition of secret police formulated by political scientists. Indeed, its secrecy, including the physical masking of officers, goes far beyond the NSDAP's Geheime Staatspolizei.

Absolutely right. Minneapolis residents would agree, and now suburban folks might too.

What can you do with a history degree?

The extent to which this administration personally targets and continues the assault on people who embarrass and shame it is particularly despicable.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The Washington Ghost

The amount of observers that have been detained today in the city already that I’ve seen videos of is really spooky.It’s very clear that ice is now just straight up targeting observers in an effort to quash people watching them. It’s also clear that they are absolutely keeping databases of observers

ICE pointing guns at constitutionally protected observers. ICE out now--of Minneapolis and everywhere else, too.

NOT 👇 SURPRISED.......

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

Absolutely sickening. And even more evidence (if any were needed) of the heartlessness of the monsters who create and enforce immigration "policy" now.

NO LIES 👇 DETECTED.......

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

Yes. Don’t believe the line that Homan’s presence in MN is going to reduce ICE numbers or brutality. This episode proves it. I’m impressed by how clear headed this person was as ICE was trying to intimidate and hurt her.

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

👏A federal judge in MN just issued a Temporary Restraining Order preventing the Trump administration from arresting & detaining lawfully resettled refugees in Minnesota under Operation PARRIS while the case challenging the practice proceeds. refugeerights.org/news-resourc...

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

There is a register of journalistic prose, usually reserved for poor countries with oppressive governments, that is all of a sudden applicable to the United States—with words like regime, crackdown, opposition rallies, dissidents, security forces, targeted killings.

Brass Solidarity Band going strong at Alex Pretti’s memorial site. What a beautiful show of love.

Sending Tom Homan to Minnesota is like pouring gasoline on a fire. The chaos is the point — let’s stop sending Trump officials in and start sending Trump’s agents home.

Beyond that, these guys don't seem to realize that, living in the contemporary world, they are 100% dependent on a whole range of overlapping systems that are almost entirely sustained by the thankless work of the very women they disdain. All these Tough Guys would be *helpless* on their own.

Breanna Stewart is one of the founders of a sports league that has tripled its value in a year and has a host of big name investors and she came out for today’s games with a sign that said ABOLISH ICE. These MN CEOs and their do nothing letter should take note. You’re on the wrong side of history.

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.

*breaking into the burned out husk and pulling the fire alarm* I’ve seen enough; this was a fire

In none of his appearances today did Bovino acknowledge that this was in any way regrettable or could have been prevented. Because he doesn't regret it, and he wants it to happen again. Terrorizing anyone who is trying to hold them accountable is their only play rn

Shameless liars, all. Why bother to bring on TV news any in the trump admin when all they do is lie?

The vehicle perimeter surrounding 26th St. W and Nicollet Ave has been lifted – roads are back open to traffic and National Guard assignments have ended. Streets need to be clear for emergency vehicles to get through if needed. Activity overnight was calm and peaceful.

It was beautiful. I hope it gives Alex Pretti’s family some solace.
