Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.
"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

NEW: Yesterday, hundreds gathered outside the Whipple Federal Building for an Indigenous-led civil and human rights rally called Not on Native Land. Speakers invoked the history of the land and of white settlers genociding Native Americans, and the role of Bishop Henry Whipple and Fort Snelling.

There should be Congressional hearings over this
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

If you’re into books written by people instead of assembled by AI slop, I just finished this one, which is about a Black guy who quits the CIA to train Black freedom fighters in Chicago, and I can’t stop thinking about it.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

As a timeline cleanse, here's a photo of the full moon setting over the hills of Highlands, NJ this morning. I wasn't in love with it because it's highly cropped so as you'll see it's pretty crumbly, but my family loved it, so here it is. I hope you have had a great day!

Tonight's full moon - some call it the Snow Moon - was almost the exact same size as the Balmoral Hotel clock from where I was standing.
There is no better place to be than Edinburgh to experience a full moon brightening the sky & enhancing the cityscape.

Over and over and over again, we’re going to see that if you step up in the spaces you’re already in, you’re going to make a difference.
a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.
we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.
delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
