MAGA has been told at least a billion times collectively that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens but they still can’t seem to comprehend it.

What’s worse is that the President of the United States doesn’t seem to get it either.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

Chuck Schumer wants to fund more ICE controlled body worn cameras that will inevitably be hooked into that Palantir facial recognition system, so maybe the two of you should have a little chat?
AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

1. Take over one of the most prestigious arts centres in America
2. Put your buddies in charge of it
3. Insult everyone involved with it, both their work and what they believe in
4. Put your name on it

5. Shut it down entirely for two years and try to frame that as a triumph
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

“Like his friend Epstein — who enjoyed targeting small, helpless teenage girls — the most important thread throughout Trump’s life is that he tries to feel big by harassing those who he feels can’t fight back.”

The erosion of democracy in the US is clear even if you don't use intl comparisons. From the Century Foundation:
"In the first year of Trump 2.0, the United States went from being a passing if imperfect democracy to behaving like an authoritarian state."

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

Trump’s America 2026. Masked armed men in body armor arresting journalists in the night.

We’re truly going back to the 1930s.

Bovino: "It's our fucking city."

And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is not a democracy when men with guns and uniforms believe they have more control over a city than its residents.

NEW @ms.now: Pardoned by Trump, anti-abortion activists plan a nationwide revival of mass blockades at clinics & pharmacies that dispense abortion pills — in part, bc they know this DOJ won't prosecute them.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
