My 15 year-old niece says “Oh my stars!” and it’s my favorite thing ever.
very charmed that in its eulogy to mass market paperbacks the NYT found an 18-year-old who uses the word "reckon" www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/b...

The problem of ICE/CBP reform is we have a monster rampaging through our democracy and are trying to restrict *which* cities it can pillage and *how many* civilians it can eat. The problem isn’t the restrictions on the monster; the problem is the monster. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-ways-t...

In light of the news that Bezos just eliminated the Books section at @washingtonpost.com: Buy books from people who care about books. If you don't have a local bookshop near you, @bookshop.org is a great choice! 🧵

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

With so much terror on the streets, it's easy for access to reproductive healthcare to take a backseat. It doesn't need to be that way. Take 30 seconds to sign a petition to prevent the Comstock Act from being weaponized against people seeking healthcare actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-t...
Sign the petition: Protect abortion and reproductive freedom. ​​Repeal the Comstock Act now!

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.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

“We built palatial forts in the snowdrifts after the plows went through. Lawn sprinklers in summers became portals to different realms and time periods; we ran through the strands of water with towels tied around our necks as capes.”

A British newspaper educating Americans on how to identify the masked federal agents terrorizing their communities. Cool cool cool.
Federal immigration officers wear a bewildering array of labels, tactical gear and clothing accessories from different agencies, often wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves.

It's sometimes not possible to know which agency an individual works for.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Wild that a major American newspaper has to do service journalism to educate people about the chemical irritants the federal government is deploying against them for exercising their Constitutional rights, but I'm glad the Star Tribune is doing this work. www.startribune.com/federal-agen...
Federal agents are heavily deploying chemical irritants. What are the health consequences?

Today I purchased a one year digital subscription to the @startribune.com even though I live in New Mexico. I’m incredibly grateful for their fearless, independent coverage of the federal occupation.
Subscribing to a newspaper and/or visiting websites and subscribing to podcasts with podcast apps is a big help in the world rn

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.
