The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Organizers in Minnesota have transformed crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. On Thursday, those organizers and MN leaders will share what they’ve learned so we can all be better prepared to organize and protect our neighbors from ICE and CBP deployments: www.crowdcast.io/c/reimagine/...

landslide margins of victory...sounds glorious...let's do it.
Ossoff: We would be naive not to expect dirty tricks. This man tried to steal the presidency when he lost it the first time. The best insurance against dirty tricks is landslide margins of victory.

absolutely everything. This must be shared far and wide.
Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
ICE MUST GO‼️

God bless these people.
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!"

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

Thank you Minnesota!!!
this is a good dream for sure
I have a dream: that the next Dem president will dissolve ICE and reallocate the money to the new DOJ so it can prosecute all the corrupt criminals and civil rights violating bastards from the Trump regime. Happy Martin Luther Jr Day.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Noem knew nothing about Renee; she didn't even know her name at that time, but she confidently labeled her as a domestic terrorist who willfully ran over the ICE agent. None of that is true, of course, but that doesn't ever stop MAGAts from telling the most outlandish of lies.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS
For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.
That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.
