Congressional Democratic leaders are asking ICE to agree to reforms, promising to vote for $11 billion in funding for the agency if it does so. ICE has every reason to concede to the demands — then ignore them once the funding bill passes. jacobin.com/2026/02/demo...

I have appreciated Amanda’s efforts here so I’m disappointed she’s wrapping things up by spreading misinformation. I can assure you as someone whose neighborhood has been crawling with ICE in recent days that we are not in the “aftermath” of anything.

people need to see
they need to see when the president is racist
they need to see when kids are killed by gun violence
they need to see when our bombs drop on brown skinned people abroad

im tired of sticking our heads in the sand. people need to see.
Let’s please resist sharing the racist image posted by the current president of the United States.

And let us remember that we are allies in the fight for justice always, or not at all. We must condemn this, loudly and without equivocation.

The mainstream media hardly made a peep about the White House freezing out AP for not using the “gulf of America” crap, raiding the WaPo reporter or arresting Don Lemon. They don’t care about the first amendment. They just want access and book deals.

The way DOJ is handling the Epstein files reminds me of the 1889 Cleveland Street scandal in England over a male brothel. Its customers, including a royal, were protected & files were destroyed. But the working-class boys who worked in the brothel were sent to prison.

When Keystone Kash's FBI raided the Georgia election office, they not only took all the ballots and equipment, they also took the back-up images of the ballots.

Taking the back-up images means that they can tamper with the ballots without anyone being able to prove they did it.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.
