The most striking thing about Minneapolis: 100% of the violence is being committed by DHS agents, all of it is unprovoked.

An officer approached the car, and Antunes-Maradiaga held a piece of paper up to the window, a Know Your Rights flier saying he didn’t have to open the door.

Unimpressed, the officer smashed the car window and pulled him out, putting a gun to his head.

1. ICE is using Palantir apps to collect biometric data on protestors. I'm working closely with @markey.senate.gov to stop this.

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"
Odd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience.

This is a step in the right direction, but we need the architects removed from any position of power. Trump will sacrifice Bovino & Noem, but more accountability is required.

After the killing of Alex Pretti by CBP agents, Chuck Schumer announced "Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included."

Now we must ensure Democrats hold the line to block more funding for ICE and CBP. You know what to do. 👇

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:

When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

ICE kills us, moons us, and State Troopers protect them the entire time they've been here. Despicable.

The modern KKK stands for “Kavanaugh Kavanaugh Kavanaugh” (stops)
The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.

ICE is riddled with sex criminals.

A January 2026 report by the Pacific Antifascist Research Collective identified 30 ICE and CBP agents with documented convictions and arrests, some for serious violent and sexual crimes.

At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.

Hi @margaretdumont.bsky.social - thanks for sharing article just now - figured you’d find this of interest.
A grim day to note that Canada Pension Plan Investments has ~$264M in PALANTIR, which is enabling muderous ICE + its horrific terror campaign. Pensions will be useless if brownshirt billionaires kill democracy!!! (see👆post re BCI)

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.
