ICE holds people in disgusting conditions. Now it’s turning warehouses into camps | Moira Donegan The Trump administration has bought warehouses across the US that could hold thousands. But resistance is growing

ICE wants to operate “like Amazon Prime, for human beings” so they're buying up warehouses for mass detention. That’s sickening, and it's even more reason to claw back the no-strings-attached billions of dollars that Republicans gave to ICE.

This year the deficit will be 1.85 trillion dollars- HCR

The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

John Eastman, who is up for disbarment in California and currently cannot file cases in CA courts (apps.calbar.ca.gov/attorney/Lic... ) has filed this amicus brief in the US Supreme Court seeking to stop states from accepting ballots arriving after election day:

Mamdani faces first showdown with NYPD – will he risk alienating police? As an assembly member, Mamdani backed the Stop Fakes Act. Now, the NYPD has admitted to spying online – but wielding actual power as mayor is complex

NYPD is using “sock puppet” software that creates fake online identities. The "increased scope and speed of surveillance that these tools offer undermines" Fourth Amendment protections, says @emileayoub.bsky.social.

ICE has kids who are US citizens fearful for their classmates and searching online for the ‘safest places to live’ | CNN CNN spoke with families whose children were born in the United States and have become afraid of ICE. They shared how the national immigration debate is impacting them.

"Nicole says her 10-year-old daughter, Madeleine, told her, 'We’re supposed to go inside (the school) but I know I’ll be scared, so I’m gonna hide in my spot that I found on the playground in case ICE comes.'

That comment came... days following the fatal shooting of Renee Good."

“the debt catastrophe is going to make 2008 look like kids playing with change”

Summary of current events:

The US had an Iran strike package teed up and ready to launch in mid-late January.

Bibi told Trump his plans weren’t big enough.

Now we’re sending everything with wings to the Middle East.

CBS didn't want Colbert to talk to this candidate. He did it anyway. "This is the party that ran against cancel culture," Texas State Representative James Talarico said about the Trump administration

“Let’s just call this what it is. Donald Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV, because all Trump does is watch TV.”

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Don’t be Anderson Cooper. Don’t make up excuses for doing the right thing. Like Anderson Cooper, we are being called to choose where we stand in the defense of American democracy. Be proud to tell your children how you came to the defense of your country. That requires us to speak the truth.

Anderson Cooper quit CBS’s 60 Minutes with a gracious note explaining that he wanted to spend more time with his kids—when we all know he quit because he could not abide the editorial control over 60 Minutes by Trump's financial backers and Bari Weiss.

Yes, the Trump-Epstein files.

Journalists are reporting that Juan Nicolas, a two-month-old detainee at the Dilley, Texas ICE Family Concentration Camp, has deteriorated so severely that he was rushed to a hospital in an unknown condition on February 16, 2026.

Under Bari Weiss, there is no place for excellent journalists at CBS. And in completely unrelated news, Anderson Cooper is leaving the network.

I never thought I’d see the day.

Americans being told by the rest of the world to fight for our own democracy.

We should never have gotten here.

Keep resisting. ✊🏽

I'm not gonna police other Jews who think it's similar-- but stuff with ICE is awful all by itself. We shouldn't need to ask "How bad is this on a scale of Mr Rogers to Hitler?" It's really fkn bad for any country, especially America. That's enough for it to be opposed.
