America is watching today, so every reporter covering tonight's State of Delusion should be questioning why 50+ pages related to a woman accusing Trump of sexual assault when she was a child are missing from the released files.

Training for New ICE Agents Is β€˜Deficient’ and β€˜Broken,’ Whistle-Blower Says

ICE has cut 240 hours of training from a 584-hour program, classes that teach the Constitution, legal system, firearms, use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention and the limits of officers’ authority, instructor says @nicknehamas.bsky.social @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/u...

I miss a lot of video content because I'm in the room with others and can't watch/listen.

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

Just an amazing string of coincidences that the Republican Party has so many pedophiles, pedophile enablers and pedophile protectors in its ranks.

β€œAs Karen got to know the guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. β€œIndividual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,” Karen says.

Trump announces a new 10% global tariff.

Jeff Bezos is right. There is no need to have correspondents reporting in Europe when you can get all that information from Russia. They'll even pay YOU.

Has there been a single shooting by immigration officers over the last year in which DHS did *not* blatantly lie about what happened?

@reptedlieu.bsky.social did not mince words re: some deadly serious allegations against Trump that are in the #Epstein files, but that Todd Blanche needs to resign because people "attending parties" where children are being violated is against the human trafficking law.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social & @repilhan.bsky.social attacked 2 days apart

As Trump & Vance continue to incite, their supporters are feeling emboldened

@ilhanmn.bsky.social is tougher & braver than these loser cosplay Crusaders in the White House.

I encountered Stephen Miller at Tyson's Mall and said, "You're hurting American families, Stephen." His female security guard told me to go away.

If this happened to him, he'd shit in his pants & cry.

It's clarifying to see these chodes with their masks down, asses out for the world to see, and as the irredeemable incel losers that they truly are

I live smack dab in the middle of an ordinary block in Minneapolis. I borrow occasional eggs or vanilla from the neighbor on my right when I get caught short baking. My partner shovels our elderly neighbor’s sidewalk; she knit him a hat in gratitude. The folks down the street watch our cats when we’re away. In other words, a pretty typical American neighborhood, perhaps not unlike your own.

Imagine if you heard that heavily armed, masked agents were going door-to-door where you live, violently grabbing people from gardeners to grandparents – no questions asked, no warrants offered. What would you do? Especially if you knew that having more community members as observers decreases the likelihood those masked agents will use violence.

Minneapolis, MN -

After FPS agents went into the hotel, shot teargas and kinetic munitions into the crowd assembled outside he wanted to know where the PD is to the press. I asked if he has a message for the community members that wanted out. No response. None to the mayor either.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
