NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

It wasn't random that Israel was booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. There were only two outbursts of booing at the ceremony: one for Israel & the other for JD Vance.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Even if you don't have an account, tell them you will be getting the word out that they provide safe harbor to terrorists
It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:

They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.

The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Here’s a video from the “counter” part of the ALICE training, which is where it talks about overwhelming the intruder. The protocol stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. It’s a more proactive protocol than simple lockdowns but not all districts do it. youtu.be/wC00VX-DnIo?...

It's still freezing in Minneapolis, and crowds are streaming into downtown. Spontaneous anti-ICE chants breaking out on the sidewalk.

I had to disperse because I was on the way to my car to put hand warmers in my shoes and that’s when the troopers pulled up and declared and unlawful and made me leave.

Will be on the ground for a march at 2pm in downtown Minneapolis!
