easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

This is what I’m talking about when I talk about technologies of liberation This required careful measurement and design

Absolutely. Here's from the weekend.

I’m glad the Rev. Rivas and his wife can take care of these kids and keep them out of the concentration camps. I hate they have to do this. Bless them. ⚓️

We were so grateful that Aaron Scott, the churchwide Gender Justice Officer, preached at our recent clergy retreat, honoring the feast of the Reverend Florence Li Tim Oi. Sharing his sermon here. May it strengthen and inspire you as it did us. 🕯️ www.transepiscopal.org/blog/sermon-...

Episcopal trans, non-binary, two-spirit clergy recently gathered on retreat; here is a sermon preached there by Aaron Scott, Gender Justice Officer of the Episcopal Church, for the feast of Florence Li Tim Oi.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Damn. Literally. I don't like pulling out those tools but sometimes you have to.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Abolish ICE

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

I don't think you can reform this. You have to start over.

This has happened to one observer THREE times. ICE agents in vehicles followed an observer to her home. Then pointed at her home. As if to say, we know where you live. Three times stalked by ICE.

NEW: Judge Tunheim rejects a DOJ request to dissolve his TRO in the putative class-action refugee case in Minnesota: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

now that's the power of a union

That Ring “search party” ad was unsubtle enough that even my 10yo watched it and was like “are they gonna use this for ICE?”

English speakers like "that was less political than I thought" lol they had ricky martin singing "dont do us like you did hawaii"

what a shot

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state. Tell them it will find your dog.

Strange what some folks understand as political. This was absolutely an explicitly political performance.

That critique of the government extracting resources from PR. The power poles.

"God Bless America:" then he lists most of the countries in the hemisphere starting with Chile I think? this rules

Commenting on energy injustice is now the floor for any halftime act.

I used @hannahnpbowman.com's preaching resources to introduce the concept of Migration with Dignity Sunday and to talk very plainly about repentance, welcome, and care. People were so grateful that I addresed the violence head on. (I'm sure some weren't, but they didn't tell me). Thanks, Hannah!

"It's more soccer moms than hardcore activists, they said. But the challenging conditions have brought them closer together. After knowing each other for just weeks, they feel like they’d give their lives to protect one another if necessary..." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Wow, NBC edited out the audience booing JD Vance at the Olympics. And this is one of the few remaining news outlets NOT owned by right-wing billionaire Trump sycophants www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Important. Especially after the horrific detention ruling from the Fifth Circuit last night, which I’m still working to understand. Concentration camps for children and people claiming asylum and more.

“Interviews with immigration lawyers, Liam’s father and the Vargas family and dozens of sworn declarations … describe a facility that functions far more like a prison than a child care center: constant surveillance, rigid schedules, overnight bed checks.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

talking with someone about this today, and their whole expression sharpened suddenly as they asked "is that why ICE is angry people have video from multiple angles?" AI is the enemy of documentation--which is a way of saying, it's the enemy of accountability.

“Renee Goodman [sic], Alex Pretti – there are no words,” DeLauro said. “You said there were no words after the murder of those two individuals,” said Rev. Jack Perkins Davidson. “I think the words are ‘Abolish ICE.’” www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-02...

A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

This is outrageous. Obviously. ⚓️

Care work being too “costly” just tells me that all of us who do it for pay or for free are being vastly under-compensated. Let’s not forget the biggest lesson of the pandemic which is that care work is all kinds is the most essential work of all.

Jacob Frey: "The continued presence of 2,000 federal agents in a city that only has 600 police officers is still not deescalation"

Making the rounds this week among Christian progressives: new poem by Rob Hardy, poet laureate, Northfield, MN. Yes, the protests and all the work being done to throw sand in the gears and provide aid to those at home and being released from Whipple are a kind of liturgy — “work of the people.” ⚓️

"But the Christian right has not quite won its struggle for the country and the faith. An Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire urged his clergy to finalize their wills and prepare for “a new era of martyrdom” in the war against ICE." nymag.com/intelligence...

While Tom Homan was trying to grab headlines this morning ICE was again circling our schools. They’ve been out all morning and no “drawdown” is enough until every single one of these agents is out of our state and DHS is abolished.

“Detention centers are evil. They are torture. … Say no to these evil places.” — Ana Reza, Borderland Ministries Chaplain, Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande ⚓️ episcopalnewsservice.org/2026/02/04/f...

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

Interesting conversation about the different American religious groups (broadly speaking) and where they stand vis a vis Trump ⚓️
