96 percent of people charged with human trafficking are U.S. citizens Just 26 undocumented immigrants faced federal trafficking charges in 2023.

Despite what Trump says, human trafficking is mostly a homegrown offense. 96% of ppl charged were for US citizens. Just 2% were undocumented immigrants reason.com/2026/02/19/9...

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

I've know these people for years. They've worked for Kamala Harris, Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom, Antonio Villaraigosa, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, etc. Now they are working for crypto and venture capital, as vc and crypto underwrite Trump fascism.

Just received the new, revised edition of @thorncoyle.bsky.social ’s Evolutionary Witchcraft, as well as the brand-new Stars of Power. I read EW during my hiatus from magic in the early 2000’s, and look forward to diving back in.

Did they simply redeploy to the suburbs while claiming they were winding down in Minneapolis?

How many folks in the admin are certifiably nuts? Certainly Trump & RFK, Jr. Miller is a psychopath. Maybe Bondi too. Noem is badly damaged. Is Hegseth cracked or just deeply stupid? JD is, like Trump, a pathological liar & there are so many others guilty of loony, creepy or malevolent behavior...

J.I.B.C. is 19-years-old and has pending applications for Special Immigrant Juvenile status and asylum. (J.I.B.C. Decl. ¶ 1.) On January 13, 2026, he was leaving TMobile when another car struck his own. (Id. ¶¶ 3–4.) Agents surrounded him, opened the car doors, and wrenched him out. (Id. ¶ 4.) J.I.B.C. offered to show the agents his immigration documents, but the agents said they did not need to see them. (Id. ¶ 6.) When he pulled out his cell phone, the agents

threw him to the ground. (Id. ¶ 5.) The immigration documents were left inside his car. (Id. ¶ 6.) Several hours after arriving at Whipple, J.I.B.C. was allowed one phone call. (Id. ¶¶ 8, 12.) There was no privacy—it was a shared phone, located in a hallway between cells with agents nearby. (Id. ¶ 12.) J.I.B.C. told his girlfriend he had been detained; she said she would find a lawyer. (Id. ¶ 13.) Agents told J.I.B.C. to tell her that he was going to El Paso, Texas. (Id.) That day, J.I.B.C. was transferred to Texas. (Id. ¶ 15.) During his weeklong detention, he was allowed only two calls. (Id. ¶ 22.) Officers pressured people to sign voluntary self-deportation papers; many did. (Id. ¶ 23.) Agents told J.I.B.C. that he would be detained longer if he fought his case. (Id.)

ICE agents crashed directly into a 19-year-old refugee's car, pulled him out from the wreck, threw him on the ground, then rushed him off to detention before he could locate the immigration papers in his car that proved he's here lawfully. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

At some point Kansans need to just refuse to follow stupid laws put forth by the Republican fascists in the state legislature.

Bernie's Prophetic Warning About Media The two-time presidential candidate was ridiculed by media elites - but his 2019 warning has proven prescient.

Bernie Sanders was ridiculed by media elites for his critique of the media industry. But re-reading Bernie’s 2019 oped this week - the week after Jeff Bezos gutted The Washington Post - well, it makes the Vermont senator seem like Nostradamus accurately predicting the future.

Mr. Sim lived in the US for 43 years. He was ordered deported 20 years ago after a larceny conviction. Because Cambodia wasn’t accepting deportations, he was allowed to stay on an order of supervision.

After 20 years, he was suddenly arrested at an ICE check-in and sent to detention, where he died.

Trump's Caribbean Surge Nears $3 Billion Price Tag So Far The operations around Venezuela that eventually led to the capture of its president pulled in nearly a fifth of the US Navy’s surface fleet at a cost of more than $20 million a day.

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.

Jesse Jackson Jr. also had an under appreciated sense of comedic timing. Watch his fake sermon on SNL.😂

Let’s pivot to personal wealth growth while in office…

That last sentence? That's the strategy. They've been pretty open about it.

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

- 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

Ocasio-Cortez because (a) Trump will be wildly unpopular, (b) anti-incumbency will be a significant factor (this is endogenous to (a)), and (c) she will present as the “normal” candidate, notwithstanding attempts to paint her as radical.

Another thing to add to the Dem platform: all of these contracts were plainly procured through fraud, not one of them will be honored, and all culpable parties will be prosecuted.

This isn't a "radical" demand, it's the bare minimum required to re-establish the rule of law.

GEORGIA — Trump’s DHS just bought an ICE detention warehouse for $128 MILLION… that sold for $29 MILLION two years ago… from a Russia-based real estate company.🤔

Nothing to see here, folks!

We are being looted so hard by these crooks

Shapiro admin tells ICE to drop plans for PA detention centers ICE detention centers planned for Berks and Schuylkill Counties would burden residents and possibly violate state legal requirements, officials say.

"In Pennsylvania, the Shapiro administration is warning federal officials that it will not issue required state permits for two planned immigration detention centers..."

Whistleblower responds after DOJ confirms DOGE mishandled Social Security data The Social Security Administration says members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the agency accessed and shared sensitive data. The latest disclosure from the Trump administration seemed to confirm...

7/ Whistleblower alleges that an SSA “database called the Numident, which is the master database of ur personal info, was uploaded to an AWS cloud environment.” [Numident’s data is now allegedly linked to the Save System to facilitate voter purges. This is a centerpiece of the Save America Act]

The latest excuse: “We can’t go after everyone in those Epstein files who raped children, otherwise our whole government and way of life would collapse.”

Me (takes a final drag off the cigarette, drops it on the floor, and grinds it out with my heel): “Burn it down. Burn it all the fuck down. Now.”

Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.

It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

Lies!
Everyone can see what is going on.
It's ethnic cleansing. Going to a grocery store parking lot & randomly picking the first brown guy you see is not information driven extraction. Fuck off.
Only 14% of all ICE arrests are criminals.
Over 4000 Court challenged arrests have been lost by ICE.

Welcome to the Plutocracy

O'KEEFE: What's so wrong with obtaining a judicial warrant to enter private property?

HOMAN: That's not what federal law requires


O'KEEFE: As I recall, you previously said you thought judicial warrants were required

HOMAN: I didn't have a change of heart. That's the DOJ guidance

A thread, with lots of data, about how Trump-Vance-Miller have not only lost the big argument about ICE they've also lost it about mass deportation. The country wants DHS to deport criminals and leave the rest of us alone 👇
