“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

Children ending up in the ICU.

Children trying to end their lives.

Children refusing to eat and drink because the food has worms and the water makes them sick.

Children held for 8 months or longer.

These are the kids ICE holds at Dilley.

They’re pleading to be let out.

Massive theft. And with it, a power grab like none other we have seen in our history...one that has effectively smothered our democracy to death.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Objectively speaking Bad Bunny’s show is better than the game rn. #superbowl

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

From Gaza to Minneapolis We Are Still Being Told to Disbelieve Our Eyes Living outside of the United States, my social media feed from back home over the last three weeks has felt like it is primarily composed of highly analyzed snuff films. These analyses have been ne…

“The denial of verifiable reality is as dangerous as manufactured propaganda.” @thrasherxy.bsky.social on how, from Gaza to Minneapolis, we’re still being told not to believe what we see.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

A 2016 civil lawsuit found in the Epstein files alleges that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in NY. Epstein raped her too.

For anyone wondering why the victim dropped the case…

1/2

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Turns out musicians are braver than actors and filmmakers.

Unlike what we saw at the Oscars, Bad Bunny showed courage.

The most important part of the Rehmet campaign (in my humble opinion as a local political scientist whose opinion nobody asked for) is that Rehmet ran as a union man.

Rehmet is a union president, and this was an unapologetically pro labor campaign.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

Libs of TikTok is doxxing teachers and nurses who support Alex Pretti or oppose ICE, trying to get them fired

Chaya Raichik, who runs the social media account Libs of TikTok, has spent the days following Alex Pretti’s killing doxxing ordinary working people — teachers, nurses, school board members — for speaking out against federal immigration officials or expressing sympathy for Pretti.

ICE Pivots To Warehouses Warehouses identified by ICE to convert into immigration detention facilities Source: Bloomberg reporting Note: The 23 sites depicted are part of the agency's warehouse plans. Sites could be changed or removed.

"Plans for ‘mega centers’ and jails in nearly two dozen communities… Currently, there are more than 73,000 people in ICE custody, a record. The new sites could give the agency an additional 76,500 beds."

If the existing beds remain, that would be space to detain 150,000 humans.

Thank you ❤️

President Trump has repeatedly made unfounded claims about Rep. Ilhan Omar, and his dangerous rhetoric could encourage people to act violently, just as this individual did tonight at Rep. Omar’s town hall.

Must read essay by @adamserwer.bsky.social

bye shorty

I know how you feel. But it does feel like saying something in the least we can do right now.

❤️❤️❤️

“We have a nice little database, & now you’re considered domestic terrorists” says an ICE agent after photographing a civilian who was videotaping them. Posted today by Brian Allen on X. h/t @allenanalysis.bsky.social

🚨"We wonder why people in the 1930s were quiet, we need to show we weren't quiet. History is gonna look back at all the people that didn't show up—their grandkids are gonna ask what were they doing! It's like -10 degrees and we're here!" -Minneapolis ICE protester. LIVE NOW⬇️

My loose info so far is that the Minneapolis General Strike today had about 80 unions sign on, and it might be one of the biggest labor actions in decades depending on your definition

genuinely stunning image

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.
