He traveled over 1,000 km and crawled under barbed wire to seek international protection. Now Kazakhstan wants to send him back.

Ireland is furious that the U.S. is treating one of their citizens, here legally & in process of getting his green card with horrific conditions: filth everywhere, little sanitation, barely fed, locked in a room with 72 other men. Violent guards. Immigrants being strangled. Calling out the U.S.

Wow, almost like the media and journalism profession failed in some sort of professional duty to actually inform these low-engagement voters about what Trump was saying he wanted to do and the consequences of those plans.
There is a moral-failure-of-the-voters here, but it's not the only one.
Children ending up in the ICU.
Children trying to end their lives.
Children refusing to eat and drink because the food has worms and the water makes them sick.
Children held for 8 months or longer.
These are the kids ICE holds at Dilley.
They’re pleading to be let out.
OTOH, 💯. OTOH, it's hard to blame voters who don't follow politics closely. <Everything> they saw & heard in the media, from 2016 onward, told them 🇺🇸 politics still had two "normal" political parties, with normal platforms. It's only in 2025 that "the GOP are fascist extremists" has broken through.
Kids Beg for Freedom in Letters From Inside ICE Detention Center: ‘Please Get Me Out of Here’
8/ For more on what kids are experiencing inside the Dilley detention center, read the full story by reporter @micarosenberg.bsky.social:
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Keith Porter was killed by an off-duty ICE officer on New Year's Eve & it's not even being investigated!
He was celebrating the new year by firing a weapon when an off-duty, ICE savage killed him.
ICE has no respect for the value of human life.

Urgent! Our families, communities, and economy are all at risk. Without action, more than 350,000 Haitians could lose their jobs & deportation protections.
Your representative must sign on to the discharge petition to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. Call 1-888-204-8329 #TPSjustice
Some things to understand about people from Minnesota on here right now, a short thread:
Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael.
On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition.
ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.

People don't want to accept this because it isn't true. The <primary reason> we have Trump today is because 52 & 43 GOP Senators failed to fulfill their oaths of office in two impeachment trials. It should have never gotten to the point that it was Joe Biden's responsibility, or Merrick Garland's.
Philly Sheriff Rochelle Bilal SLAMMED ICE" and Trump. No law enforcement professional wears a mask. You don't want this smoke!! FUCKING QUEEN
January 6 is your reminder that Trump is a pro-crime President.
But I beg you to stop falling for the ploys of these money seeking resistance operations. They are using you and you are hurting our chances to truly fight against the evil that is gripping our country. /End
5. I have no respect for Donald Trump. He diminishes everything he touches. But focusing on him right now is like being bitten by your neighbor’s unleashed, unfenced rabid dog and focusing on the dog. If we don’t hold his enablers to account we’re going to keep getting bit.
here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social
I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here
This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.
It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process
I’m so tired yall this year been so hard
Share with a neighbor, friend or family member. A great resource.
Watch the videos yourself, the more informed we are the better we can help our communities.

I am calling for Wilmer’s immediate release from NWIPC—he has NO criminal convictions, he poses no threat to the community, and he urgently needs appropriate medical care since ICE is denying him the treatment he requires.
I am grateful for Wilmer’s willingness to let me share his story.
