Screenshot of a map and table listing ICE warehouse purchase data.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

'Unsubscribe' and 'opt out': A new Big Tech boycott to protest ICE starts February 1 Small businesses struggled to observe the national shutdown to protest ICE. Here's why a boycott of companies like OpenAI and Amazon could be easier and more effective.

1945. The parallels to today are stunning. Worth a read.
"Fascism is the precise opposite of democracy. The people run democratic governments, but fascist governments run the people. Fascism is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control..."

Your daily reminder that “antifa” is just short for anti-fascist, i.e. anyone who is against fascism.

The information in this video applies everywhere in the US, not just NYC. The examples of what a real warrant looks like vs the ICE permission slip is very helpful.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

A view of Trump's big 'Gatsby' themed party at Mar-a-Lago tonight. Looks a little crowded. Guess the White House really IS in need of a bigger ballroom.

At this point they're just mocking the rest of us and daring us to do anything about it.

Remind me what happened after the excesses of the Gatsby Era. Something about a crash, a Great Depression, can’t quite put my finger on it.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.
