WAR-odinsky Rye

All 83,000 acres of an Alabama National Forest.

I did not want to share this week’s USDA press release as there’s no comment or objection period, and I don’t want things to seem hopeless.

So I’ll note the comment and objection period is the midterms.

These are your lands.

These are the stakes.

Is ICE Leading Us Into a Constitutional Crisis? A conversation with the law professor Ryan Goodman, who has been cataloguing the Trump Administration’s defiance of court orders since the start of the President’s second term.

Not all Chotiner interviews end up with the subject bleeding out on the floor

Some, like this one, allow experts to enlighten us on something important

This is a hell of a paper: as someone who works in: (a) the 13th Amendment and the 14th Amendment; and (b) the government creation of Infrostructure. Good job, Luke Voyles!

Google complies with administrative warrants for Gmail accounts? Is that what this is saying?? That’s horrifying

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

You cannot do "commonsense reform" for a secret police force that's declared itself exempt from constitutional requirements. You cannot reform ultraviolent agencies that have been corrupt for decades and now have accountability only to the president's goons and lackeys.

These people are terrorists. Full stop.

Sick fourth-grader among 4 Columbia Heights students held by ICE Columbia Heights Public Schools says four students remain detained by ICE after Liam’s return, including 10-year-old Elizabeth, who has fallen ill.

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

This is happening in PA in the state house committee (vote is tomorrow) — if you're in PA, contact your rep!

But it's literally happening everywhere, so no matter where you are, check what's happening at the state level with AI/data centers.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

at least every normal person i speak to offline is like "THE WORLD IS ENDING. WHY IS EVERY RICH PERSON EVIL" its frankly grounding and sanity-restoring compared to when they were all engaging in mass denial of it for the past decade

Marimar Martinez talks about being shot by CBP: “My arms, legs, and chest were all wrapped in bandages. I had 7 bullet holes in my body. I remember the agents rushing the nurses to finish up so they could take me with them.”

It’s amazing that this quote is so outside the range of what EVER happens that everybody’s response was “I gotta go check this for myself.”

I have confirmed the gist of this report out of federal court in Minnesota today from a source familiar.

If you have more information about the District of Minnesota—either the court or the U.S. Attorney's Office—and how they are handling all of this, please reach out. I am at crg.32 on Signal.

Tru’ah the rabbinic call for human rights BEND THE ARC jewish action JEWS AGAINST ICE 2/11 @ 1:30 PM NEAR ICE HQ IN DC truah.org/jewsagainstice logos of all the sponsoring organizations are below text

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

This needs to be at the top of every story about the ICE body-cam thing. They already have body cameras.

Once all of the other, uh, things are settled we really need a serious public health campaign around everything involved in being part of a society.

Texas houses the country's only immigrant family detention centers. What to know A 5-year-old boy and his father apprehended by ICE in Minnesota are being held in a South Texas immigration facility, one of two in Texas.

Liam was sent to Dilley, Texas to a CoreCivic facility that was closed during the Biden administration and reopened in March 2025. A lawsuit is challenging poor conditions in the facility, including inadequate food, water and medical care.

Yup; Lewandowski runs DHS for Noem, it’s widely known.

SOOOOOO
SOOOOOO-LAIMON

Knitting socks and eating ramen.

Would like to carry this cozy, calm energy through the rest of the day.

It’s unlikely! But I’ll make an effort.

Nearly 30,000 Minnesotans trained as constitutional observers The Immigrant Defense Network works with more than 100 organizations to help train constitutional observers. At the end of November, there were 2,500 trained observers. That number has soared as more ...

A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

My current cozy little hobby is reading up on the Nuremberg trials.

One of the key things they did was use Nazi officials' braggadocious speeches as evidence.

Give a speech taking credit for annexing Austria? Ok, that'll be a conviction for annexing Austria.

The power of mocking Trump’s pathetic monsters It's impossible to ignore the administration's blend of violent repression and overwhelming cringe.

NEW: Until recently, two Minneapolis women have heading out each day on a simple mission: to find and mock Border Patrol field leader Greg Bovino. I talked to one of them and wrote about the strengths and limits of mocking these dripless malevolent losers: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🚨 Pritzker: The monsters responsible for unleashing this havoc on American cities, whether they were firing at civilians in the streets or calling the shots from their cushy offices in Washington, need to be investigated and prosecuted.
