In a country that purports to value the rule of law, "send them to jail" really is the only appropriate outcome for everyone behind a system in which taxpayer funds are spent shuffling detainees around the country to torture them psychologically and to evade district court jurisdiction.

www.npr.org/2024/01/12/1... It’s not just ICE but the police force that is also helping them that have also covered up murders.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

The best example of this was last week when Greg Bovino spent an entire rolling between Minneapolis gas stations in a massive convoy, his entourage beating up and tear gassing countless people, posing against the crowds… and then it was all so they could complain we wouldn’t let them use a restroom

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Marc Thiessen: from robust advocate of torture and black hole prisons to disseminator of Deep Fake videos designed to smear a homicide victim. Quite a career trajectory.

The Minnesota Star Tribune has identified 17 instances of federal officials violating judicial orders related to people detained in Minnesota.

For example the video yesterday of "ICE IS GASSING A DAY CARE RIGHT NOW!!" is the daycare right up the street from my house. I about shit my pants and raced out the door until I saw it was actually from Saturday. I already dealt with that daycare gassing, thank you. Please don't lie to me for likes

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

I say who cares about the 10th amendment, Printz, etc etc, yolo let’s have not just states but also cities, towns, unincorporated suburbs, churches, bowling leagues, D&D groups, food trucks etc etc all be fully empowered to enforce all Federal laws let’s goooo

Sure, other countries will find some benefit from the US attack on its own universities and research capacity. But, taken broadly, it is really a devastating loss for humanity. Much of that research will not migrate. It will simply stop being produced.

To South Sudan

Grim stuff. One examaple: the language goes from "Ground water must be protected from radiological contamination" to "Consideration must be given to avoiding or minimizing potential radiological contamination of groundwater"

The Secretary of Homeland Security is asserting that the Deputy White House Chief of Staff ultimately bears responsibility for the murder of two American citizens, which is something that would normally generate a dozen congressional inquiries.

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

it's a truly staggering measure of this country's profound cowardice that so many people are afraid of this pathetic loser

Even taking this at face value, there is no way to turn current ICE & CBP into "immigration enforcement that is lawful, reasonable, and effective." You can't "commonsense reform" an agency full of people who gladly masked up to murder people, kidnap children, teargas daycares, and invade consulates.

Unsurprisingly, ICE went against a court order and ‘lost’ this woman’s husband in the system. She’s on top of his case with the means to hire an attorney. Imagine what it’s like for poor migrants with nobody to keep track of them. #FuckICE #ProudBlue #Resist #ICEdetentionCenter #Pinks

The woman who recorded Alex Pretti's shooting tells CNN she has still not been contacted by anyone in the federal government as part of its investigation.

I do think it's intriguing that even Biden's own friends and closest allies will admit this

If you want to know what sort of depravities this administration capable of, just look at what they accuse their opponents of doing.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

you’re all making jokes but the reason Greg Bovino was removed from duty is a safety issue we all need to take seriously

ICE deported a 5-year-old US citizen to Honduras, where she had never been, after holding her & her mother in a hotel room 80 miles from home for several days and not allowing them access to a lawyer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump's incitement stochastic terrorism is very effective. And no-one in the media calls it what it is. bsky.app/profile/bran...

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day — and with masked troops in our streets, law-abiding neighbors being disappeared, a president othering and dehumanizing entire communities in our country, and big mysterious prisons awaiting his scapegoats, history is speaking to all of us.

killed 2 miles from his home

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

we NEVER fucking needed them. Canada and Mexico were our allies! there was never any fucking plot to invade america at its borders! they never once stopped a plot with the two hours of airport security that plagues our lives! we don’t need “homeland” fucking “security”!

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

this story quotes: - A trump ambassador - A museum run by Trump appointees - Stop Antisemitism, an organization funded by right-wing donors ... aaannnnddd that's it! Not a single scholar of the Holocaust. Not anyone unaffiliated with Walz' political opponents.

Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social & @repilhan.bsky.social attacked 2 days apart As Trump & Vance continue to incite, their supporters are feeling emboldened

The thing that people on here and Twitter still don't get is that Netanyahu et al in Israel do this because they, correctly, understand that Democrats have never responded in kind and are still unlikely to ever do so.

Does it inspire any introspection on the part of the Democratic foreign policy establishment that backing Israel to the hilt no matter what it did at any time undermined America's global position and image while also not getting any credit from Israel itself

Border Patrol agent shot a person in Arizona and left them in critical condition on Tuesday morning, local officials say, marking at least the sixth person shot by federal immigration agents in just three weeks.

it's been a consistent trend in this admin for government officials and their media lackeys to randomly publish the personal information of judges who rule against them for all the fear of "doxxing" they sure seem eager to publicize details about people they don't like

Bezos spent $40 million on this, of which $28 million was a direct gift to the Trunp family, plus another $35 million marketing blitz for a propaganda clunker absolutely nobody could have believed would recoup even a small fraction of that cost. It is a flat bribe, right out in public.

The Republican Party.

People held at the Fort Bliss immigration detention camp in Texas report guards have crushed their testicles, beaten them, broken their teeth, and more. We're demanding an end to this inhumane treatment and to immigration detention at Fort Bliss for good.

Just outside Seattle on I-5 🤘

Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop? www.fox4news.com/news/48-texa...

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

CBS's new Ukraine correspondent: a kid fresh out of college whose sole life experience is complaining about being canceled at Yale. Merit!

then ask them what percentage of the budget they think should be allocated to foreign aid

ICE agents in Eagan, MN, just told me I was “helping criminals” by driving journalists around. What a country!

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"
