On camera, immigration agents are shooting and killing people in broad daylight.

Behind closed doors, ICE is also killing people with chokeholds, medical neglect, inadequate food, and other inhumane conditions. The needless deaths and suffering must end.
Deaths in ICE custody reach 20-year high amid Trump enforcement push
Rights groups say overcrowding and long stays are to blame.

40 years ago today, we lost seven heroes aboard Challenger. As an astronaut who commanded the space shuttle after this tragedy, I think about them often. Their courage pushed the boundaries of exploration. Today, we remember their sacrifice and the legacy they left behind.

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.

This is a massive overreach of power by the Trump administration.

Due process isn't optional. It's a fundamental right.

Text messages, like the one I just received below, are scams. Government agencies like ADOT will not demand payment via text message. If you receive a similar text, delete it report it as spam to your carrier. And remember, do not click on any links.

I’m old enough to remember the first MLK Day. My school had an assembly and we sang songs like We Shall Overcome, and we watched a video of Dr. King giving his I Have A Dream speech. It had a profound effect on me in my youth and I’ve never forgotten it. Thank you woke education.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.
