Now this is interesting…

JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.

Our clients are Harvard Medical School doctors whose work was scrubbed for containing the words "LGBTQ" and "transgender."

Our settlement means their critical research on suicide risk and endometriosis cannot be removed again.

Federal Economic Analysis for Detention Site Riddled With Errors on Taxes, Jobs, Geography Document incorrectly references Oklahoma economy and inflates job numbers with theoretical positions

Special for my friends in the media!

Before you use numbers from a new DHS “economic impact analysis” in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit.

Helpful explanation here:

N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

Ah. I’m at 60% and I pay $25/mo for dental care through VADIP. Hearing your experience makes me grateful I’m not at 100…..?

I have VADIP and I can get an appointment within days.

I second this. Thank you!

Breaking: Democrat Chasity Martinez just won a Louisiana district in a massive landslide victory.

Trump won this district by 13 points.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

🌊 MASSIVE BLUE WAVE 🌊 → Chasity Verret Martinez (D) flips the script in Louisiana State House 60, winning 62–38 in a Trump +13 district.

A 37-point shift to Dems!!

If ICE gets even one of these facilities fully up and running, it’ll immediately be the second-largest jail in the country behind only Rikers Island.

The auto tune is killing me.

I figured this would be the case. Thank goodness.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Boom

And, finally, our inaugural Nobel Prize for Racist Expression goes to … a staffer!

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?

Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

John Thune has already called the Dems' list of (extremely weak) demands "unrealistic."

One of those demands was to require ICE to verify whether someone is a citizen before detaining them.

The GOP will not agree to NOT detain US citizens.

We all need to sit with that for a while.

It’s bad enough that we’re subsidizing extremely profitable sports teams with our tax dollars to build stadiums, but we’re letting them charge us $17 dollars for a beer and $11 dollars for a damn hotdog at the concession stand?

Enough. Here’s one thing we can do about it.

Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.

Black graphic with a shape of a child's head filled with red dots to symbolize kids in ICE detention. White and red text reads "ICE has detained at least 3,800 children under the second Trump administration."

The average public school in the U.S. has 500 students. ICE is currently detaining over 7 schools' worth of children, many of whom are being held in inhumane conditions.

Children do not belong in government detention.
