It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

i also find it notable that despite signing this contract and discussing what it meant to her, rodman also said “I still think there’s room for growth to include more players [in] being paid more money, and to just be valued in general … we want the best players here and we want them to stay”

the league tried its damnedest to mess this up, and if rodman didn't have the connection to dc and the community of supporters at audi field, she would be yet another star leaving. they'll tout this as a league-wide win, it is not, the win is the property of the women's soccer community in dc.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

NEW: Finding that the 1/8 Noem policy requiring 7-day notice for congressional visits to immigration detention facilities is a "new agency action," Judge Cobb (Biden) denies a motion to enforce her order blocking an earlier policy. This is the wrong vehicle to challenge the new action, she finds.
![Plaintiffs’ motion is DENIED. ECF 40. Plaintiffs use the wrong procedural vehicle to
challenge the January 8, 2026 memorandum and policy announced therein, which is a new agency
action not subject to the Court’s prior stay order. The Court’s stay order was directed towards
Defendants’ oversight visit policies as announced in June 2025 and did not purport to address all
future DHS policies which may implicate congressional access to Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) facilities. See ECF 37 (“postpon[ing] and stay[ing]” the “effective dates of
implementation and enforcement of” specifically the “challenged Oversight Visit Policies” from
June 2025). The Court’s opinion found that the unlawfulness of the notice requirement arose from
the “limitation on the use of funding contained in Section 527,” and the fact that the seven-day
notice requirement as announced in June 2025 was promulgated, implemented, and enforced
through the use of Section 527 funds. ECF 36 at 72.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreihnsj7jujzxkdfeiodz6hlerx7fb7b66eymeurzefib2wypmulsk4@jpeg)

I don’t know how the narrative of American democracy can survive this. The country voted to give the nuclear codes to a mental toddler who’s going to start a war because he didn’t get a participation trophy.
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
