I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

This is not an official “summons”. If election officials are smart (and want to maintain their independence from the federal government), they won’t show up for the call. Just showing up legitimizes what they’re trying to do

Establish NOW that they do NOT want federal “support”
I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago

I always imagine a bar owner reading one of these lists, looking up at no one and muttering “…dive?”
Hundreds of Philadelphians submitted recommendations for their favorite dive bars. These 20 spots, from Center City to Northwest Philly and Kensington, are tried-and-true bests 🍻

What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy

Chief Justice John Roberts turns 71 today.

Two decades ago, I warned the Senate that confirming Roberts to the Supreme Court would be a disaster for working people.

I'm sad to say I was proven right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir5kmPdRJLw

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

Abolishing ICE isn’t enough. Everyone responsible: Stephen Miller, Noem, Bovino, Lewandowski and more also need to be thrown in prison for murder, assault, kidnapping, trafficking children, etc.

Again this feels like a story that a movie studio would say was too crazy to be believable...
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

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.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Renee Good had a pulse when EMS arrived. I’m not sure it would have made a difference if ICE had let that civilian physician render aid before EMS arrived, but now we will never know. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Trump is not omnipotent. He exists within a web of institutions. His authority is not unlimited. It appears that way largely because his allies occupy key places — Congress — that could provide a meaningful check. Important to understand his actual reach and the limits of that reach. (14/14)
