Every time I see a report of ICE leaving Minnesota or Minneapolis I think "I wish" because uh, they're still here being assholes & terrorizing people, just not as much in some places but more so in other places best I can tell and of course people are still imprisoned in misery at Whipple & . . . 🧵

Trump made $4B in his first year of his second term. Trump is suing the IRS for $10B. Trump just announced the US will contribute $10B to his Board of Peace. A $10 billion contribution to a Board that he chairs without congressional appropriation or authorization.

WAKE THE F*CK UP AMERICA.

No arrests, no ‘criminals’ taken off the streets. Just taxpayer dollars endlessly wasted on masked individuals skulking around our communities. The Trump administration might as well be throwing your money into an incinerator.

It’s time for ICE to go home and stop wasting taxpayer money.

This is a candidate for a state seat talking about his experience being boxed in by ice vehicles and threatened.

Nothing has changed on the ground here if anything it’s expanded into the entire state now at an accelerating rate.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Illinois was the first in the Midwest to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour.

For 1.4 million workers, it was their first raise in nearly a decade.

I promised as a candidate to build an economy that works for everyone — and that's been a priority of my administration.

One reason is trump n his criminal cronies get to charge the gov (the taxpayers) per head per day for detainees

That’s the white mans way always has been, it’s usually thru military contractors which is why they constantly invent a reason to kill people in other countries.

This is the same scam. 💰

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

If you have the courage to confront all of our past — the good and the bad, the hopeful and the messy — history has the power to inform a better future.

Report: ICE Officials Ignored Clear Warning Signs Before Killings ICE officials were well aware that their officers were using force in reckless and inappropriate ways before an officer shot Renee Nicole Good to death in Minneapolis.

When The Current Regime has been overthrown, it may be useful to determine if Gestapo supervisors (=ICE Border Patrol) gave any “on the spot” awards, cash bonuses, step increases, or [paid] time off to goons for misconduct, abusing, disappearing, or executing people

"Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and
thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing
allegations of Donald Trump raping children ... of Donald Trump
threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look
at these allegations."

Ted Lieu

A reminder that @massgovernor.bsky.social still has not canceled the Massachusetts Department of Correction 287(g) agreement with ICE. She can talk all she wants about the ICE concentration camp in New Hampshire, but there is something easy she can do in her own state to fight back.

I am 3/4s through The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman, and am reminded with every page that resistance is not something you can turn on and off, but must commit to for the long term. Also, every IRL horror story has hundreds of unsung heroes.

Absolutely amazing!

Epstein's operation was as much about gathering intelligence that could be later used to his benefit, as it was about trafficking children and young women.

Amazon’s Canton AI Data Center Brings Dust, Noise and Pollution Fears for Neighbors Canton residents say that a new Amazon data center is bringing unwanted dust and noise, raising concerns about pollution and falling property values.

Data center operators that register hundreds of diesel engines as backup power sources are exploiting a federal exemption, says Chris Miller of the Piedmont Environmental Council.

“They're taking a loophole that was designed for hospitals and they're driving a literal Mack Truck through it.”

Russia publicly pitches $14 trillion economic deal to Trump tied to lifting US sanctions "The portfolio of potential U.S.-Russia projects is over $14 trillion," Kremlin economic negotiator Kirill Dmitriev said.

Governor Pritzker convenes a roundtable on housing in Illinois.

Just unveiled the Building Up IL Developments (BUILD) plan and gathered a group to talk about housing in our state.

The consensus? We need to build more and fast.

Looking forward to getting it out to communities across Illinois.

So the former President of South Korea has been sentenced to life in prison for insurrection, a former prince of England has been arrested for Epstein ties, but in the US Trump is freely blabbering and shitposting because he's protected by John Roberts and the Republican Party?

If the motherfucking KING OF ENGLAND is willing to have his own brother arrested because he's a pedo, whomever is running in the midterms and in 2028 needs to bring fire and brimstone for EVERYONE in the files. Charles himself realizes how important this is! This is not an extreme position!

What a contrast:

England investigates and arrests a member of the Royal Family.

Meanwhile, the US protects a president and refuses to investigate allegations of sex with a 14 year old, or any of the other 5,300 Epstein files with references to Trump.

NEW: ICE Confiscates Children's Letters at Dilley Concentration Camp. I've filed a FOIA Request to Get Them ProPublica recently published heart-wrenching letters from children at Dilley. ICE then raided the dormitories to confiscate and destroy those letters. I've filed a Freedom of Information Act Request.

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

ICE protesters turn their attention to private prison company in North Carolina The company wants to hold people for Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a closed private prison in Eastern North Carolina.

No where.

Not now.

Not ever!

We won't back down and we won't give up!

Gave my State of the State address today that introduced Illinois’ next balanced budget — focused on restoring fiscal responsibility and bringing affordability to working families.

Let’s get it done.
