Dr. Rümeysa Öztürk is using her experience of being unlawfully arrested and detained by ICE to advocate for children facing human-made trauma, including children in ICE detention and living under conflict.

Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” “Together, we are America”

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

I appreciate the hard work that went into drafting this initial proposal. It’s a good start, but I cannot support it in this form. I have repeatedly insisted that a significant percentage of the revenue generated by the Millionaire’s Tax...

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

The Washington state Senate has approved a bill that bans face-concealing masks for law enforcement officers, with certain exceptions. The bill now goes to the state House for consideration.

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe. Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately. www.startribune.com/man-tackled-...

TONIGHT: Join the mass call on documenting and recording law enforcement encounters. We’ll discuss how you can keep taking action as federal agents terrorize our communities. Using our constitutional right to document and record ICE & CBP is more important than ever: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

The Killing of Alex Pretti—What we know so far. @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/_r8fI8D...

Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.

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.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

NEW: Trump is floating a $1.5 trillion war budget. $1.5 trillion could fund Medicaid, the child tax credit, SNAP, the Department of Education, national highway repair, the NIH, school breakfast & lunch, FEMA, the FAA, the EPA, and federal overdose prevention COMBINED. War costs us a better world.

In his first year back in the White House, President Trump has presided over a sweeping expansion of executive power while eroding democratic norms. n.pr/3YVl5Q3

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

ICE Update: 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos detained www.youtube.com/live/GA8subF...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

It may not have the hot clang of the Book of Revelation, but when the Danes are selling your bonds it has not been a good day.

Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.

We now have a full-blown European-American crisis, and for no reason that the president is able to articulate

CNN found there were more ICE impersonation incidents in 2025 than the prior 4 presidential terms combined. It's not hard to see why. I requested a bill establishing that if you're not a law enforcement officer, you can't be wearing something that gives the impression you are.

Fun fact: Every other developed nation guarantees healthcare. The “richest country” makes you use GoFundMe to afford life-saving care. We can and must do better.

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.

The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear. snyder.substack.com/p/maduro-in-...

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty asks the public to submit evidence in the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer to her office. The move comes as Moriarty says the Trump administration’s decision to keep the investigation in federal hands concerns her.

In 2026, we can’t take the easy path by giving in to despair. We have to keep doing something to be ready for the moment the right combination of events align and we can see a better future.

If you’d just serve the people instead of the donor class, you wouldn’t need the donor class. A million $20 donors beats one $10M donor every time.

Silent anti-fascism vigil in Port Townsend yesterday. The signs say it all

Could Texas get even more fabulous news on top of the redistricting suit getting tossed? YES, YES IT CAN! ⚖️🪅

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

Well, we got six nice days.

Guess these folks really don’t understand that we’re fighting a fascist regime.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Mamdani: “We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves… So, Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have 4 words for you: turn the volume up.” *Crowd roars*

Mamdani: “We won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us. Now, it is something that we do.”

At his final rally on Monday, New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani vowed to resist US President Donald Trump’s threat to withhold federal funds if he wins, framing the vote as a stand against intimidation and political bullying.

I'm directing $2.2 million per week to provide support to Washington's food banks in the wake of the Congressional Republicans’ shutdown. Our state will keep looking for innovative solutions while SNAP is suspended. President Trump needs to tell his party to do their jobs.
