TULSI?

Paywall-free news coverage of ICE raids, deportation campaign aids those who need it most Paywalls create a two-tiered citizenry — one that can afford to be informed, and one that cannot, actor and political activist John Cusack writes.

“Unpaywalling” is good not only for democracy but for business, writes FPF board member @johncusack.bsky.social.

Outlets that dropped paywalls for their FOIA-based reporting, like @wired.com and @404media.co, saw significant increases in subscriptions and revenue.

Abolish. ice. 💔

Screenshot of tweet from Huberman that reads: “The other is that dog breeds w/different shaped heads are predictive of their demeanor and intelligence. And while I don’t! believe in Phrenology I now do pay some attention to how the shapes of peoples heads relates to their intellect and steadiness, or lack thereof.”

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

“LET US OUT!”

women & children scream for help inside a detention camp in TEXAS, where private prisons like core civic make billions of taxpayer dollars holding them while abusing, neglecting them, refusing them health care, feeding them dirty food & water, etc.

In our name🇺🇸

I came here to see if it had merited an I regret to inform

A bar graph listing the causes of death listed on ICE's wall of honor. COVID-19 and cancers linked to 9/11 account for 75 percent of fatalities in ICE's two decade history, according to the agency's record. COVID-19: 15 deaths September 11-related illness: 7 deaths Stuck by car: 1 death Shot in Mexico: 1 death Shot by US-born fugitive: 1 death Heat-related injuries sustained during training exercise: 1 death Heart attack during foot pursuit: 1 death Dengue fever: 1 death Accidental discharge of a service weapon: 1 death Source: ICE.gov and original reporting by Noah Lanard. Created with Data Wrapper.

The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that it needs to send the military into American cities because of the unique danger faced by federal agents.

But, according to ICE's own data, the leading cause of death for agents is COVID-19.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.

I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA JANUARY 24, 2026 I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release. At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.

Statement from Standing Rock:

Um wut

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Wheeeeeeeeee

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Mood in minneapolis right now

I feel like the planet’s northern lights display was a flare for the aliens

Today, ICE agents killed yet another person in Minnesota.
They wrestled him to the ground. Shot him multiple times. And soon, they'll tell us why we should accept it.
We won't.
Take action today:

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars

He saying a lot with that song.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

*Thune (ha but autocorrected to my favorite herb)

The ICE funding bill still has to be voted on by the Senate. Thyme will try to bundle DHS funding with healthcare+. We need to demand (with the loudest, most unified voices possible) that Dem senators refuse to go along.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.
