i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive — its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

Abolish the billionaire class:

It’s sad to see people protest America at the Olympics.

It’s sad, and also I’m grateful. You are good neighbors, holding us to account.

I’m sorry we can’t be good neighbors right now — we have been before and I think we will be again but right now we’re lost.

Eliminating ICE is the modern equivalent of opposing the Iraq War, and right now there are two types of Democrats: those who can see where the ball is moving and go to it, and those who will be swept away because they refused to do so.

If you don't have the guts for this job, turn it over to someone who does.

No. I think we really want ICE abolished. Gone. And DHS split up, as it was pre 9/11. And CBP must be de-gestapoed as well.

👇🎯 Not once has the national media asked a GOP politician about affording ICE the way Biden/the Dems were asked about the cost of
student loan debt relief & literally everything else for the last 50 years.

I hate Illinois nazis

Holy crap. Minnesota police chief tracks down ICE agents in his car and de-arrests a woman who lives in his town.

Brutal column in the Kansas City Star about a local real estate company trying to avoid public scrutiny for selling ICE a property for a massive prison camp:

It's not the training, it's not the equipment, it's that they've become a renegade paramilitary answerable only to Trump. It's irredeemable. Abolish ICE, and break up DHS.

Abolish ICE. Disband DHS. Nothing less.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social this is already illegal. What are you doing man?

A good percentage of planes used in wildfire fighting are Canadian made. This could be a disaster.

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

@durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov no no no. No lipstick on a pig. Abolish ICE. Break up DHS. House must impeach and you must convict Noem (don't wait for her to leave) and Trump, and oust Miller.

His referring to ICE doing "noble work" says all we need to know.

This woman has more courage than every member of the Democratic leadership caucuses in Washington combined. And there are tens of thousands of everyday people just like her who are finding courage to confront evil face to face while our "leaders" dither and argue over semantics.

Those who make whistles impossible make vuvuzelas inevitable

Allow me to remind us all that we continue to lack a congressionally required fiscal year 2026 nuclear weapons Stockpile Stewardship & Management Report.

Why not press ahead with impeachment anyway?

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

On Saturday, @theverge.com's creative director @kristenradtke.bsky.social carefully watched a video of a shooting in Minneapolis, twice. Hours later, she found out that the man who was killed was her childhood best friend. www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

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.

When a little Nazi turd gets added to your Signal group chat by accident, you can in fact just start a new one without him in it

Greg Bovino Loses His Job The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.

Who’s next?

One demotion cannot detract from accountability.

Greg Bovino and Trump’s agents must still be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to America.

When we say that ICE is un-American it's because this, instead, is American.

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.
