Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists.

Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews.

All Black. All doing their jobs.

every attack on the media comes down to trump’s weakness and insecurity. they’re not dominance moves. they’re an acknowledgment that the truth is his admin’s enemy.

We called and tried to reserve hotel rooms at the Hiltons and Marriotts in Baltimore. Any idea why the downtown locations are 100% booked for February?

I think it’s worth keeping in mind that the specific church that was protested, inspiring these outrageous constitutional violations by DOJ, is part of the network of Christian Nationalist churches tied to Doug Wilson and attended by Pete Hegseth.
The fact that *both* of the churches that have made news in Minneapolis for pro-ICE links/positions have ties to the Doug Wilson-verse (which, for those keeping track, is who oversees the church Sec. Pete Hegseth now attends) feels like evidence that the universe's writers are just getting lazy.
Via @bmietana.bsky.social: Cities Church in Minnesota is considering legal options after anti-ICE protest.

A surprising detail in here: Joe Rigney, author of the book "Sin of Empathy," is calling himself a founding pastor of this church. religionnews.com/2026/01/20/c...

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

I can't emphasize how radical this all is. There's never been a bill to mass invalidate driver's licenses at this scale. It will create immense fear for trans people. They could be pulled over and arrested for driving with an invalid license. They could be ratted out by people around them.

The rabbit hole on the proposed Hagerstown detention center is deep.
“We were prisoners of war.” The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation says they successfully exited a $29.9M contract after a "rogue" tribal official signed on to design the national ICE detention sites, citing the "harm and trauma" mirrored in the project. The Washington County facility was one of them.

The first confirmed site in a proposed immigration detention network has been purchased near Hagerstown, even as the Native American nation tied to its design work says it has exited the contract

I mean, I know plenty of people have already pointed this out, but it needs to be hammered home that this is how fascism works. It demands you accept lies as truth, even when we’ve all seen who has actually been demanding violence (Trump and his goons).

Do not fall for this garbage. DHS came into my city with an offensive posture, conducted itself as an invader, often attacked residents without any plausible connection to immigration enforcement, violently seized people off the streets. Now it’s our fault people died?
