New drone footage from @floodlightnews.org - the fossil methane power plant Musk built specifically to create abusive and racist material on his social media website is still wildly breaching EPA regulations even after a ruling against using them -->>>

So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas?
It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death.

See ICE wants these cases in Texas, where Trump-infected courts are more tolerant of their antics, more biased against non-citizens, more willing to let DHS fill up concentration camps.
(Not all Texas judges, for sure. Plenty are bravely faithful to the rule of law. ICE is playing the numbers)

A view from on the ground of what’s happening to all the people swept up in raids.
When you look for a Ring replacement, don’t turn to a Google product.
ICE is still in the Twin Cities, and still wreaking havoc on people's lives, even as they move closer to Philly and its suburbs and neighboring city of Wilmington.
The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny!
I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti
The Lady in the Pink Jacket is not safe. She hasn't been home, and has not used her phone. Someone else moved her car for her, and someone was there following them.
The only reason Homan replaced Bovino as the face of the occupation is because his lies are more polished and he doesn’t dress like a member of the Third Reich in public. But the policies and the state instigated violence remain unchanged.
If you aren't familiar with what DARVO is, get familiar with it. "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender." The govt is relying on DARVO as a tactic on a national scale, and it is also increasingly a conservative tactic to attack outspoken critics of their ideas, theories, & renderings of history.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

@dael.bsky.social have you considered
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
THREAD: 404 Media has been covering ICE and the technology they've been using to surveil and raid "targets", detain people based on a flawed facial recognition app, and lie about violence on the streets.
They have established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.
It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
Today is #ICEout day in MN with high temps reaching -11°F & masses are protesting at MSP Airport while hundreds are outside the Whipple Fed Building. On one side a blockade prevents ICE vehicles from driving thru while ice balls are thrown at vehicles on the other side. At least 2 arrests so far.
100 clergy arrested at Minneapolis St. Paul Airport - MSP.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
In America now you can be shopping with your toddler one moment and fleeing with her in your arms from a secret police attack the very next.
This episode is really about how our establishment politicians are slowly folding and collapsing along with the structures they created, and how the rest of us desperately want our world to have a lot more imagination.
Ex-Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has Lunch with the FT and in one of those instances so rare that you know he didn't sign an NDA, says exactly why as.ft.com/r/e503690d-8...
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Accurate headline would be "Trump attempts to violate constitution to appease AI investor cronies in the White House" as @nytceciliakang.bsky.social well knows, but NYT editors refuse to accurately headline these stories. The lede should mention regulations are meant to stop kids killing themselves.
This is heartbreaking on so many levels.
Never meet your heroes.

Just because someone is in a position of power does not make them smarter than even the average person. It does not bestow a magical anointing on them that makes all their thoughts holy and just.
It just makes them powerful.
NEW:
In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.
She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.
Then she died.
