HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

Just watched Musk documentary. As a person in tech, very little of the information was new to me. As an overview introduction to what a shithead Musk is, it’s probably great for a majority of people.

A deep dive into the October Suroeise Trump foreshadowed with his callouts to Russ Vought. It’s worse than you think. The Plan to Steal the Midterms is Public. No One's Reading It. youtu.be/MKUf5JMuyZc

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

Said it before, I'll say it again: the grimmest political development in my lifetime is that we went from having old people who remember the Depression to having old people who remember the Eisenhower Administration.

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

This happened to me reading Stranger in a Strange Land. After having to hand-wind a bug in a room every 24-hours, when the characters got into an autonomous flying car taxi I wasn’t sure I could continue.

Heartbreak in Springfield, Ohio. Please read this important reporting. It all begins with big lies and it ends with ethnic cleansing and deaths for which we must not only mourn but feel ashamed. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

A Michigan nurse is accused of helping an injured immigration detainee escape from a hospital while in federal custody.

Of all the things that give me pause about ICE's draft ERO ONE statement of work, a section titled "Network, Link, and Relationship Analysis" is the most eyebrow-raising. I spent close to 20 years as an intel analyst. Here's what section 4.6 says and means, paragraph by paragraph.

🧵 We've been digging into the genesis of these 'mobile detention facilities' to find out whether the idea is new or has been in the works a while. So we went through the solicitation's attachments and their metadata. The file describing them lists a GEO Group executive vice president as its author.

US has deported more than 25,000 people under secretive agreements with 35 countries to take migrants with no ties to those nations, according to an investigation published Monday u.afp.com/Sj9Z

🔥This is how it’s done. Imagine if every anti-immigrant fearmongering liar was grilled like this. #ShowMeTheStats #GetYourPhoneOut 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (h/t @ukcameraman.bsky.social )

Abolish ICE

The man ICE shot in Austin today is named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Per his lawyer, she and Perez’s family were run off of hospital property where he’s being treated and won’t even confirm he’s there because he’s “in ICE custody.” Actual criminals.

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.

according to the article, it took hours after the personal intervention of the mayor for his family to even get basic information about him. that information included that he had been transferred to ICE custody hours after being shot. no amnesty

Alligator Alcatraz’ confined detained immigrants in cages the size of phone booths, according to a new report by the DHS inspector general.

ESPN had Ted Cruz on 'College GameDay' in a conversation with Rece Davis for nearly 10 minutes. Cruz was heavily booed by the crowd -- and heard "Ted, you suck!" chants -- in Austin.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

During GWOT, the military often called these "target teams." DHS is signaling to contractors it wants to spend $100M+ building an in-house capability set up the same way the military, NSA, and CIA operate to replicate their find, fix, finish, exploit, analyze, disseminate (F3EAD) methodology.

Many of you have been asking what you can do to fight the Trump Administration’s depraved war on immigrant kids — like the ones separated from their families and held in federal detention that I’ve been highlighting in my recent videos from 201 Varick Street.

"Most parents have straightforward ideas for what to give their teenaged son for his birthday. Not Maryam Tahmasebi. She just wants her son to be able to celebrate outside the detention center our country has trapped them in." Read this from @timmiller.bsky.social:

“A Haitian immigrant who had grown increasingly distraught after losing his protection from deportation and being outfitted with an ankle monitor was run over and killed Monday in what his family believes was a suicide.” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The Navy has been firing a lot of missiles lately, and they're starting to run out

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

NEW: We obtained recordings of 160+ emergency calls made from or about an immigration detention center where three people died within six weeks. “They will not give them medical treatment,” one caller said, seeking help for a detainee with kidney stones.

in Springfield Ohio right now. I’m told by multiple activists and religious leaders here that ICE took a second Haitian pastor

This is quite literally an extinction level event for graduate education in several fields in the United States.

Hundreds of emails exchanged between U.S. immigration officials offer the most transparent play by play yet of how the two countries worked together to arrange for more than 100 Iranians to be flown back to Iran on three separate immigration flights. www.mississippifreepress.org/a-quiet-chan...

BEING THE PERSON WHO EVERYBODY MOURNS MEANS STEPPING UP WHEN NOBODY ELSE WILL IT DOES NOT MEAN WATCHING POLL APPROVAL NUMBERS

An incredible story. The Iranian Christian woman who wrote “help” on the glass on the hotel in Panama has finally found permanent safety; in Canada. The Trump admin deported her to Panama soon after taking office, rather than let her seek asylum. Read her story 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/w...

1/ Religious groups in Minnesota are asking a federal court to hold ICE in contempt after allegations that an undercover ICE agent infiltrated University Baptist Church of Minneapolis in May —

💥 ICE drag mom & teen daughter out of hospital room—in middle of being treated after car accident. Still wearing hospital gowns. Both victims of car collusion, with asylum case pending in good standing & valid work permit. Grace Calero 39, & Giulianna Carriel 19, from Ecuador.

ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin. His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota. He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert. Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished. (Published January)

Many articles/think pieces/interviews about the Democrats pushing back against the scourge of the DSA. I am a DSA member but will, out of the kindness of my heart, offer some advice to the establishment re: pushing back Do something Do literally goddamn anything
