Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

There were a lot of futuristic fantasies floating around in the 29th century. I'm saddened that one of the worst is being realized.

ICE agent: “I fired 5 shots. She had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys.” 😳

Experts said the FBI’s seizing of ballots in Georgia triggered fears of federal interference in this year’s midterm elections: “It's a dramatic escalation … to expand federal control over our country's historically state-run election infrastructure.”

The Mayor of Portland, OR after ICE shot tear gas into a crowd “To those who..work for ICE: Resign..Through your use of violence and..trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame. [G]o home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children”

CBS censored Billie Eilish saying “Fuck ICE” at the Grammys. Here’s the uncensored version:

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar, accepted the best música urbána album at the 68th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday with a direct response to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Follow our live coverage here. nyti.ms/4a7BQgd

A fairly large group of high school students held an ICE-OUT protest in downtown Knoxville, TN today. Very proud of them!

They are continuing to come after journalists.

An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering. Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law. Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

This is incredible. Sound up.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

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.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

We lit candles at 7 CT tonight to honor Alex Pretti and the brave people of Minnesota.

MINNESOTA VERSION OF COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS

Lately, whenever I do a 3-point turn, I think about Renee Good. #ICEOUT

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house. They released him an hour later. The cruelty is the point. (From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

14 US states have abortion bans, leading to a rise in maternal and infant mortality. Global experience shows that criminalizing abortion doesn't increase birth rates - it risks women’s health and lives, making it harder to obtain legal medical care and forcing them into clandestine abortions.

One would think Trump is too busy starting wars with American cities to have time for a war in Europe.

I’m a data wonk. I love data to keep my brain focused on what’s most important and to look for why things are happening to find potential solutions. It’s just how I think. This video makes me both angry and helps me to start picking apart solution ideas. Thanks: @thatnickpowersguy.bsky.social

Damn-But Margaret Atwood got it right!

Jimmy Kimmel offers to let Trump have one of his trophies if he will pull ICE out of Minneapolis.

This is insanity. They are being investigated for *making statements* critical of ICE. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Signs of hope in Aiken County South Carolina. 🇺🇸

BREAKING: Mother Jones is suing the Bureau of Prisons for Ghislaine Maxwell’s records. Because someone needed to.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

On Jan. 14, a U.S. Senate committee will hold a hearing framed as an inquiry into the safety of medication abortion. In reality, it will be an opportunity for the committee’s antiabortion majority to showcase junk science and misleading narratives to undermine access to mifepristone.

Thousands of newly obtained documents show that Clearview AI’s founders always intended to target immigrants and the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump administration.

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery. While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

WTF! Noem/DHS/FascICE has told the Sioux tribe that they won't receive any information about the tribal members they picked up UNTIL they enter an immigration agreement with DHS. Are they saying the people who were here tens of 1000s years ago can be deported?

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

Amid the deafening propaganda in the US right now, please take notes in an actual notebook. The 1939 diary of an antifascist can show you how. open.substack.com/pub/virginia...

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Traveling? Be aware that US Customs might demand to see what’s on your phone upon entry. Here’s some advice on how to handle the problem. GIFT ARTICLE

There you go... unjustified homicide!

JD Vance, who, speaking from the White House podium on Thursday, puffed his chest and said: “Ramming an ICE officer with your car, that’s what justifies being shot.”

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

ICE is escalating the violence.

Never forget.
