Once again so mad that 3+ decades ago a small group of loud reactionaries derailed a meaningful Enola Gay exhibit that would have shed light on the unfathomable hell of aerial bombing wars and reminded the US public that human beings exist in other countries

Trump promised that new factories and jobs would pour into the US, but spending on manufacturing-related construction actually decreased last year (after booming under Biden).

β€˜I’m dead.’ As Haitian temporary protected status ends tomorrow, it’s unknown how people will survive. - The Boston Globe TPS, a legal status reserved for those fleeing countries in upheaval, is slated to end for Haitians on Tuesday.

Every story I read about the revocation of TPS for Haitians makes me shake with rage. I am no longer surprised at the cruelty of this regime, but it is deeply shameful that our country is doing this. This is simply ethnic cleansing.

Venezuelan oil has the highest average methane intensity among oil and gas producers globally β€” its operations are the most wasteful and polluting, losing more gas than the entire nation of Ireland consumes in a year. https://ow.ly/acGH50Y4UUw

"It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it."

Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

πŸ—ƒοΈ State & local jurisdictions cannot defy federal law but neither can the federal govt order them to enforce every aspect of that law. For some origins of this ongoing tension in immigration federalism, rooted in the history of American slavery, here is a 🧡 on Prigg v. Pennsylvania (1842) 🧡 1/10

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

This is the legacy of ICE. This is Trump's legacy.

This is also what American society voted for. We need to take a hard look at ourselves.

I have learned that the White House Greenland-Penguin post may be a reference to the Werner Herzog documentary "Encounters at the End of the World" which DHS also used recently.

If so. The administration is even dumber than I thought and criminally pretentious.

Ways to Support Minnesota’s Immigrant Communities as ICE Activity Escalates Food drives, fundraisers, trainings, restaurant specials, and other resources to support immigrant communities during ICE's massive Operation Metro Surge.

For those of you wondering how to help those in Minneapolis St Paul, an excellent list of resources is here, including both food support and legal assistance groups.

The mom who we all saw turning the wheel and trying to drive away was actually a domestic terrorist trying to run over a poor ICE agent, and now the nurse who we all saw coming to the aid of another ICE victim was actually a deranged shooter who had to be taken down.

Goes to show that these people are truly idiots. There are commentaries twisting themselves backward trying to tease out a worldview or a grand strategy.

No, they are simply stupid. They should be treated accordingly.

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025.

A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.

Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn:
