Ain't we gettin a $6K placate-bribe from our mob boss this tax year? If it really happens, I'm pondering where to donate mine based on which would most piss off Mike Johnson and his ilk. ACLU? Women’s Intern'l League for Peace and Freedom? Natl Resource Defense Council? Abortion clinics? Wanna join?

"Dozens of pupils were reportedly killed in a strike on a primary school in the south-east." Abusing little girls - right on brand.

The Occupying Army Retreats        - The American Prospect The announcement of ICE’s withdrawal from Minnesota, like that of the British from Boston 250 years ago, marks a victory for people power.

I don't think there are enough 250th year anniversary pieces like this being written. We should be celebrating our history of kicking brutal occupying forces out of American cities. prospect.org/2026/02/12/o...

Using your dog to spy for ICE. Nice. A for sicko imagination, F− for morality.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

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.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

It's true! I'm delighted to announce my latest project (with @simonandschuster.bsky.social), "The U.S. Constitution: A Comprehensive and Annotated Guide for the Modern Reader."

In bookstores in May, but preorder yours now (maybe get one for your favorite federal official? It makes a great gift!).

Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control.
This is about total control.

Please, friends from blue states, call or email (or both!) your Democratic senators and thank them. Thank them for me too stuck in a red state. Make sure your senators know we have their back!

If an 18 year old Marine did that in Iraq in a war zone, he would be court martialed because it is murder. You pathetic little cowards who wear face masks couldn’t even wrestle a guy to the ground, so you shot him? This is why ICE must be prosecuted. You guys are criminal thugs. - Rep Seth Moulton

Behind the disturbing image of ICE snatching a half-naked, elderly Hmong American from his home DHS has claimed without evidence that they were looking for someone else when they took ChongLy Scott Thao.

“We might not have been alive for Stonewall, but by God, we're alive for this,” from The Handbasket on the ICE brutality with a Hmong grandfather yesterday.
