Could a Democrat, any Democrat, release a statement actually thanking the people that have been out there doing the fucking work instead of this constant scolding tone for the love of God

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

Liam’s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything he’d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

kidnapping a 5 year old to bait his father and then shipping them thousands of miles away should put you in prison, yes, but it should also cause every friend and family member you have ever had to permanently reject you in disgrace, and if they don’t, they share your shame

maybe you don't need a doorbell camera

Ring just partnered with a shady AI company that is using your security cameras to help ICE spy and go after you and your neighbors. No, I’m not kidding. Your security cameras are snitching on you.

It was so interesting how Ukranians used caltrops to slow the Russian invasion in the Winter of 2023. In fact, these ancient but effective defensive impediments are so effective they've made it into the Drone Age. Small ones puncture car tires, large ones stop truck movement, sometimes even tanks!

The argument against ICE isn't an especially difficult one to make politically in this moment. The issue is that people who substantively disagree with abolishing ICE prefer having a proxy fight about strategy to discussing that stance. Many such cases.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

All I have ever heard about every news story from Bill Clinton to drag shows is “it’s awful, parents have to explain this to their children, why can’t we just let kids be kids?” Now an entire classroom is going to go home to parents trying to explain why their five year friend was taken by the govt

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

Think about all the videos you've seen where someone ask them to see their warrant, and the ICE pigs confidently say "we don't need one." There was one video earlier today of a lawyer doing so, with ICE going "no we don't need a warrant" They've been saying, very publicly, that they got this memo.

🧵ICE's tactics for arresting and holding observers and protestors is ever-shifting, and I'm hearing lots of different stories. Right now, my perspective is that these are your best practices:

here's a good fuckin question

If the police officer stationed in an elementary school does not have an obligation to confront a shooter then I need someone to reexplain why it’s important that we have a guy with a gun in my kid’s school. I was told it was for safety. So now what is it and can he leave?

ICE is writing secret memos claiming power to invade homes without warrants. They're using children as bait. They're killing. Congressional Democrats are about to vote to increase their budget by $18 billion. Call your House rep tonight. The vote may come tomorrow. www.patreon.com/posts/148814...

I never figured out a way to manage the stress of constantly worrying I could suddenly lose status or be rejected by a CBP officer at the border, along with noticing the growing number of anti-immigrant policies and rise in ICE funding and deportations. I was told, more than once, I was overreacting

one thing about immigration reporting at this particular moment is many US news organizations actively do not interview or hire non-Americans and the ones who do, don't make it easy for them to stay in the country, don't understand the process or constant stress or consider it a "bias"

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025. A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf. Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn:

ICE said he killed himself and that was just a blatant lie. We have no idea how many people are being murdered in these concentration camps.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

they are snatching babies off the street and trafficking them to detention camps. that is what ICE is doing. they know that's what they are doing. they know they are the gestapo. we have to know it.

If only they had had time for the "don't kidnap 5-year-olds and send them to detention centers 1000 miles away from their families" training module

We have an executive branch that's on a crime spree against the American public. The other branches of government can use their constitutional powers to put a stop to this. If they decline to do that the only other remedy is in the declaration of independence

Can’t stop thinking about one of the videos where community members were helping a teenager who had been roughed up by ICE. One person said, “There’s gotta be somebody we can call.” But there isn’t.

they're kidnapping and trafficking kids

I feel like at some point we have to find a way to recognize that yelling at dem lawmakers online is like talking to one of those gag voicemail recordings that tricks you into thinking they've really picked up

it doesn't matter if you don't want to have this fight, it doesn't even matter if it's not politically optimal to have this fight the fight is here and sitting it out is not an option if you can't see that get out of the way

Once again, these are not organized protests, these are random people stopping their days to prevent neighbors from being kidnapped It's so bad out there today

We still have a leader of a sovereign nation and his wife locked in a cage in New York City

all the attempts to win these fuckers over with 'reasonable' amounts of brutal deportations, with constant increased funding to ICE, the attempts to make asylum seeking more and closed off - all cruelty for no benefit at all that only emboldened them. even maine isn't white enough for them.

Remember when the line was "there's nothing you Luddites can do about this, enjoy being poor"

the horse raises a good point imo

my kids could theoretically be alive 100 years from now. what will they see? what will they know? what will they remember?

this is so awful and disgusting. fuck everyone who pretended that there was some reasonable debate to be had about trans athletes. this is where that got us. children being targeted by a fascist regime because they want to play sports with their friends.

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

This is a global far right power grab, so the sooner everybody realizes that and puts aside their deeply outdated notions around national identity, which got us here to begin with, the better. The only way out is through, but the only way through is all of us fighting these climate warlords together

"Just 32 fossil fuel companies were responsible for half the global carbon dioxide emissions driving the climate crisis in 2024, down from 36 a year earlier, a report has revealed." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump has a rapist's idea of negotiation, foreign policy, and domestic policy. He gets off violating consent and DARVO'ing, making money in the process is just a bonus for him.
