We need a better way to get the 3800+ kids out of ICE detention than this. We know Liam’s name and we can advocate on his behalf, but that isn’t true of almost any of the other people stuck in detention centers.

We have to stop ICE on a systemic level.

It’s not doomerism to say trump, his party, and his government are trying to rig elections including the midterms; that’s just … reality

It is doomerism to act like they are likely to “cancel” the midterms or that their success in rigging it is at all a given

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

An extraordinary document. Read it.

“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

America's "dual state" is a racial state ICE's terrors draw on an American traditions of racial violence

Excellent piece by @victorerikray.bsky.social and @hebagowayed.bsky.social

The First Amendment protects our right to make jokes at the federal government's expense.

We have the high ground and the Constitution on our side.

Calling these criminals “alternate electors” is like referring to Jeffrey Dahmer as dietary adviser.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Remember 25 years ago when a photo was taken of a fed pointing a gun at a crying refugee child and the image was so shameful it dominated the news cycle for a year

There are people lamenting that the system is broken. I want to remind you that the system is working exactly as intended.

The Senate and Electoral College were established to protect landowners/slavery from democracy.

We only have the rights we have today, because people fought for them.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

COMPLICITY NOT COWARDICE. COMPLICITY.

The reason why I'm so angry has a lot to do with the lives that will be lost — people are absolutely going to die as a direct result of Senate Democrats folding on health care. It also has a lot to do with the suffering that was endured — people were struggling to get by without food assistance. 🧵

We have to get wealthy people out of elected office.

Bernie Sanders has said in the Senate after Susan Collins reportedly laughed about the new funding bill:

“If this bill passes, certain groups will see their premiums triple. When you remove healthcare from 15 million people, 50,000 Americans will die who didn’t have to. Do you think that’s funny?”

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Paterson NJ is ~65% Hispanic,
~20% Black, ~10% white.

I’m sure that’s not at all a coincidence.

Democracy literally dies in bomb threats.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is on @cnn.com congratulating Dems—without mentioning @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social until pressed.

As a colleague said today, those opposing this president’s anti-democratic moves should also protest an “opposition” that refuses to be a real opposition party.

I agree.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

"getting snatched off the street by armed agents of the state, sent to the gulag, and then deported is the same thing as a multi-millionaire having his show cancelled.

I am very smart and get paid to share my ideas."

I can't stress enough that this is how is exactly how genocides are incited. They always use language to couch it in self defense to justify violence against their targets.

The GOP’s “megabill” isn’t just austerity—it’s a deliberate redistribution of power and resources away from working people, young Americans, and communities of color.

Listen in to learn how this bill will impact everyday Americans 🎧⬇️

going to keep saying: important for a society that would like to keep functioning to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

The USPS is a vital public service that serves every single community. Wells Fargo created a report outlining how they could break it up and sell it off - that would destroy jobs, raise prices, and gut service. Postal workers and the public are fighting back — and we won’t be sold out.

Study: For 60 Years, Kids' TV Cast Boys As Doers And Girls As Passive New research reveals that the language in kid’s TV is reinforcing harmful gender stereotypes, and that little has changed in 60 years.  In some cases, it’s getting worse.

Study of 6,600 episodes of kids’ TV over 60 years finds boys portrayed as ‘doers’ and girls as passive. And male characters still dominate dialogue, 50% more than female characters. @kimelsesser.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

We just translated a wave of our ICE coverage into Spanish. No paywall, no email signup necessary. From leaks about Palantir's work with ICE to ICE's new facial recognition app, we think there is a massive public interest in this info. Read why and support us here: www.404media.co/were-publish...

They needed more time to Ctrl+Alt+Delete for Trump. 1,000 FBI agents and six months in office hasn’t been enough. #FrequentFlyer #PedoPrez
