At Summit, Election Deniers Press for Trump to Take Over Midterms %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%% www.propublica.org/article/elec...
“I kept begging for a divorce, and he’d threaten to kill my children.”
“I was in a very abusive, sick relationship.”
These women were imprisoned for crimes that stemmed from their abuse. A new law offered them a second chance.
Mohsen Mahdawi, a former Columbia student who was also detained by DHS, says Aghayeva’s arrest in campus housing is a direct result of the university’s abdication of its responsibility to protect students. “Columbia did not have the backbone to file any lawsuits against the Trump administration.”
There's been discourse on Long Covid on this site the past few days. I think some people are thoroughly underestimating how hellish chronic illness can make you feel, even if you aren't at an immediate risk of dying.
There is now a GoFundMe to support Nurul Amin Shah Alam's family. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-w...
Btw I know some places are reporting this man as being near blind–he is blind is one eye and can barely see with the other. Blindness is a spectrum regardless so that label felt more accurate to his disability.
Border Patrol, like ICE, is supposed to be investigated by DHS' civil rights offices. Which, as I previously reported, have been hollowed out. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Much credit to @jdaleshoemaker.bsky.social's original reporting. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/24/b...
Nurul Amin Shah Alam's violent arrest, by police who saw his walking stick as a weapon—and who, like the Border Patrol officers who dumped him, apparently made no attempt to reckon with his disability or his mental state—set off events that ended in his death. www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...
This is what happens when border militarization eclipses civil rights enforcement and due process. Disabled immigrants are entitled to ADA compliance, meaningful language access & constitutional protections backed by independent oversight and real consequences. Access is not optional. It’s the law.
This is amazing.

Pete Sessions: It's unfortunate that my colleague was sexually harassing his staffer to the point that she died by suicide via self-immolation, but holding them accountable would impede our ability to continue to gut health care and the safety net while further enriching corporations. Priorities.

Who is Julian Taylor?
“If a change is gonna come, we must get loud,”
@juliantaylormusic.bsky.social
“That remembering is supposed to be coupled with action and activism, and marking BHM should be calling on people to not just hold a celebratory tone, but to move towards some action. —For example, to assess the policies of the different levels of government and organizations to gauge if they advance efforts to improve Black life, to advocate for policy implementation if none exists or if policies that do exist are impeding the ability of Black people to thrive, that they be changed.” - Dr. Natasha Henry-Dixon

I'm always trying to get that message out to let people of color know that public land belongs to them and there's millions of acres of it, and it is yours to access as much as anyone else's." - Christian Cooper

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." Muhammad Ali.

DOJ removed, withheld Epstein files related to accusations about Trump

NEW: Three Minnesota faith groups/leaders — local ELCA and UCC bodies, and a Jesuit priest — are suing DHS over its refusal to grant them access to immigrant detainees at a federal building.
It's one of 2 related suits filed against the government in recent months. religionnews.com/2026/02/23/f...
For those who wanted more info, I'm just noting what people tell me every day. But I've noticed two kind of mantras in Minneapolis. One is "We keep us safe." The other is, "No one is coming to save us."
The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.
Trump: "I can do anything I want to do to them ... I'm allowed to destroy the country."
