phacelia - daily action is the antidote to despair

Only ONE of the THREE judges on the case—a Trump appointee “unanimously rated unqualified by the ABA Standing Committee” for bias & other issues—said there was probable cause to charge Don Lemon. But DOJ official Harmeet Dhillon deceptively declared on X that the “COURT” sees such probable cause 1/

And yes, I understand that Dems are not in a position to win this with votes.

And I will say again, legislative "wins" are no longer material wins because the regime does not feel bound by or accountable to law here.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Family members of two Trinidadian men killed in a U.S. military boat strike have SUED the Trump administration, accusing it of wrongful death and extrajudicial killings.

Their families say they were fishermen and farm workers simply returning home.

(via NBC News. Link in reply.)

That sounds like a dog whistle; the "mixed multitudes" were the non-Jewish slaves who escaped with the Jews in the Exodus and who were, according to tradition, troublemakers later for Moses. Definitely not a positive term, and I'm sure she knows that.

There is a "report."

There is no "story."

"Stories" are narratives deliberately woven by a single source, serving a single purpose and single end.

"Reports" are replaying direct quotes and objective relaying of facts and events.

Bari wants stories.

Bari is equal parts idiocy and recklessness.

Alexander Vindman, the former national security aide who helped trigger Trump's first impeachment, is officially running as a Democrat in the Florida Senate race to unseat Republican Ashley Moody.

Instagram picture by @larrydn7 of Nance in a hat, chain, and with a black t-shirt saying "all my homies hate ICE" with three angry cartoon ducks in between these large words. below that on the shirt in smaller type: "no one is illegal on stolen land immigrants make america great"

Larry Nance Jr., forward for Cleveland Cavs

not justifiable, but normalized for ICE now. I saw them do this multiple times in MLPS

You’ll notice the American state media gave President Biden a much harder time over his age whilst he was doing good work than they are with the orange felon who basically assembled an illegal army to murder people whilst he destroys the entire country out of spite.

Jury Acquits Chicago Resident of Murder-for-Hire Plot on Border Patrol Commander The defendant, Juan Espinoza Martinez, was detained by immigration agents after being found not guilty and faces deportation.

"[N]ot guilty."

"Federal prosecutors alleged Espinoza Martinez had put out a $10,000 hit on Customs and Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino."

"Espinoza Martinez is not yet a free man." ICE "took him into custody following trial."

First, a report from the ACLU on detainees being beaten and tortured at the largest ICE detention facility in the country.

Now a report from the Ohio Immigrant Alliance on 30 identified ICE agents who were previously charged and convicted of violent and sexual crimes, most within the last 2 years.

Well, I would need to consider them decent people and fit parents. And I’ve seen no evidence.

I'm going to print this image out and hang it on my wall because the idea that this exists should fill everyone with absolute boiling fucking rage every day.

[whispering to Miller] He'll throw you to the wolves. You'll never get a pardon. It's now or never! [slithering over to Trump] He plots against you sire! Throwing him in the dungeon will send a message to the others!

FFS. What do these damn things offer us?! Less jobs, more poverty, a water shortage and now increased carbon emissions? No thanks! Pass.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Mahmoud Khalil vows to oppose Trump efforts to deport him to Algeria over pro-Palestine speech Mahmoud Khalil and his legal team vowed to fight Trump administration plans to deport the Palestinian activist to Algeria, calling the move "extreme punishment" for his pro-Palestinian speech.

"Trump administration official has declared that Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil will be deported to Algeria."

Khalil: "I will continue to fight [..] until my rights, and the rights of others like me, are fully protected."

Most importantly, public opinion on ICE has shifted dramatically.

Democrats aren’t going to vote to fund DHS/ICE. The public doesn‘t approve of masked federal agents murdering American citizens in broad daylight.

The people of Minnesota are showing how it’s done. We can win together.

ALERTSF: A young mountain lion was spotted near Pacific/ Octavia. If you see it, slowly back away.

no way a young mountain lion can afford rent in Pac Heights

The moderate position is unwinding the entire post-9/11 security state

YO! My fellow 64A residents! We get to vote on Tuesday! I think that’s a very fitting way to celebrate that little Nazi leaving MN!

Pulling Bovino out of Minneapolis and replacing him with Tom Homan is like removing a rattlesnake from the bathroom and replacing it with a Cobra.

A mother in Arizona has also reported her child’s school also received a similar immigration questionnaire. It included a map the child is asked to color in that says where their parents came from.

California legislators decry federal immigration actions Democratic lawmakers from the Golden State announced legislation requiring state investigation into any shooting by a federal agent, like those in Minnesota.

Jan 26, 2026,
@caspeakerrivas.bsky.social announced & backed new state legislation designed to hold federal agents accountable following a series of fatal shootings by ICE agents in Minnesota.

New bill calls for independent investigations by CA AG into any shooting by fed agents occurring in CA

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:

When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
