A message of peace and possibility. Definitely worth a listen.

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line. I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Even if you don't have time to read all 83 pages of Judge Reyes's opinion barring the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status for 350,000+ Haitians, please at least check out the four-page introduction. It's a tour de force: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For the record: I will not send another cent to Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller while the department they run is shredding the Constitution and murdering American citizens in the streets. A two-week extension is two weeks too long. I’m voting no.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

“Before I thank God, I wanna say: ICE out. We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are human, and we are Americans.” — Bad Bunny

“Some very kind pilots on the Delta flight from San Antonio - Minneapolis today. 5 year old, Liam Conejo Ramos was in Heaven. What a difference 24 hours make. From DHS detention in Texas - to this. Being a kid again. And now, Liam is home again.” @johnquinones Liam’s Dad went hime with him.

ProPublica says it has identified the two federal agents who shot Pretti.

I talked to @anneapplebaum.bsky.social about the role that politicizing the public sector and civil service plays: “It’s a red flag when you see so many people saying, My god. This is so illegal that we cannot, in good conscience, stick around any longer.” www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

Motherfuckers.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing. She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

If you need a little hope today please take a listen to this intelligent young man

Minneapolis residents are taking a stand against hotels like Hilton that house ICE goons, demanding that they refuse service to them. This movement is gaining traction, and it’s working.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

You can’t look at videos like this—snow cascading down, temperatures feeling like they’re in the negative, and people out there anyway, making their voices heard—and not believe in America.

"When that man is dead and gone" A protest song about *checks notes* Adolf Hitler recorded eight years ago that Youtube randomly is recommending to people this week for no reason whatsoever 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDkh...

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

How should we respond to Trump’s tyranny? History shows us the answer.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Maybe DOJ should focus on the law it’s violating, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, instead of speculating a crime might have been committed (despite multiple ballot recounts) in Fulton County or declining to investigate two homicides in Minneapolis?

3/ For decades, allies did what the U.S. asked. Even when tariffs hurt their own workers and industries. Even when supply chains suffered. They went along because the U.S. was predictable, stable, and ultimately worth aligning with.

No lies detected, perfect answer from Ilhan Omar….

The women are telling the truth. Donald Trump is a serial pedophile and rapist. With 14, 15, 16 year old girls, Trump was "a predator in action." He deserves to be in prison forever. With thanks to the BBC, we need to see MUCH more like this on American TV.

Worth reading the entire thread.

BREAKING: Trump doesn’t support the 2nd Amendment.

Firing Greg Bovino is BS! We need to prosecute Bovino, Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem! Renee Good and Alex Pritti deserve justice- firing Bovino does nothing! Charging all involved from Miller to the agents is justice. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/firing-gre...

An anti-ICE mobilization took place in London UK where thousands of British citizens gathered to demonstrate their support to their American friends. Health workers were also involved in the protest. They gave a very meaningful speech in solidarity with Alex Pretti.

America is a dangerous country. Countries need to Boycott the World Cup. Countries need to boycott the Olympics. STAY SAFE and avoid travel to the USA.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

People are dying in Trump’s (the GOP’s) concentration death camps.

Your daily reminder that there have been no new Epstein files released in 2026 and only 1% of the files have been released so far. RELEASE THE FILES

People keep asking me who I want in 2028, and I find the question exasperating. Let's get through 2026 first. Let's take back control of Congress. Let's get a majority that blocks Trump. Any 2028 aspirant who is focused on that, too, will get my attention.

Worth every second

The article recommends companies deny ICE access to non-public areas; any company which does not meet this minimum standard is supporting ICE NAZIs.

I realize that every word that comes out of his mouth is outrageous in one way or another but unambiguously framing execution as a legitimate response to disrespect is still noteworthy

The pedophile president is out of control — and Fed Chair Jerome Powell is eloquently telling the incompetent cunt to go fuck himself. 😳👇

This chick gets it! youtube.com/shorts/M5JiV...

We’ve all seen the videos from several different angles, and here’s the most obvious thing: If Renee Good really wanted to kill that ICE officer, she would have done a better job. Spot on analysis here.

Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread) 1. Pat Bagley

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.
