To make matters worse Tim Waltz has asked the National Guard to prepare to police protestors rather than arrest every ice agent within Minnesota as an accomplice until this thing can be sorted out. The correct move is to be out there protesting with us, not preparing, against us.

Call in the National Guard and arrest every ice member wearing a mask. Hold them on suspicion of murder and charge them a fortune for bail.

President Trump has directed US agencies to take immediate action to withdraw from numerous multilateral & global Int’l agreements & institutions on the basis that they are “contrary to the interests” of the US. The list is staggering. The result is splendid & ugly selfish isolation. #cdnpoli

Unbelievable in every way!

Clearly, common sense isn’t that common. Why would any daycare center open the door for a random man? Trump canceled federal subsidy funding for daycare centers in all states based on fake accusations that completely collapsed under the lightest scrutiny. THIS IS PROPER INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING👇🏽

Zohran’s inauguration brimmed w/the energy that NYC is “a shining beacon of possibility” per @jumaane.bsky.social. Amidst the darkness of authoritarianism, inequality & hate, we have a chance to show what’s possible. That’s always been our mission as New Yorkers—it was profoundly renewed today.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Kash Patel got brand-new armored BMWs on his request. The big story floating around is that FBI personnel are leaking these stories to take him down. But I’ve got other questions: 📌BMW? Why aren’t they buying American? 📌Does Patel have an unlimited expense account funded by our dime? 1/2

We at ProPublica obtained internal government data in May that showed the Trump administration knew the vast majority of Venezuelans sent to El Salvador had not been convicted of violent crimes. Our reporting is featured in Frontline. Read our full coverage: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Looking forward to Nancy Mace’s condemnation of these men in a women’s bathroom.

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

When police returned Reggie Williams’ wallet, an officer told him: Don’t do anything bad and keep your ID on you. To Williams, the warning echoed a slavery-era requirement that free African Americans carry documents to prove they weren’t enslaved. (Published Nov. with @mlk50.com)

“I am more scared in the last month than in the last 20 years. I thought they were gonna kick down the door and take me away.” @samanthamichaels.bsky.social hid out with an immigrant family in Memphis, where the onslaught of ICE has reshaped daily life, drawing comparisons to 1930s Germany.
