I think that the protests against Trump today were much better than when maga scaled the walls of the Capitol, busted windows out, beat the heck out of law enforcement, chanted about killing law makers, caused deaths, hospitalizions, and millions in damages. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Imagine if our military stopped boats. Took everyone on board, lined them up, and shot them in the face. Just murder. And did that because we thought there might be drugs on board. We didn't check for drugs first. No trial. Just murder people on a maybe.

Sarcasm? Spitting on the founding fathers, the revolutionary war, and the constitution, is just.... a little joke? This is the president of the united states of America. He should NEVER make sarcastic jokes about pissing on democracy, and pretending to be a king.

If there’s nothing to hide, why hide everything?

Five Democratic state legislators were denied entry to Florida’s new immigration β€œdetention center” deep in the Everglades known as β€œAlligator Alcatraz.”

Narrator: and then since they were all in one place it was easy for ICE to call them a gang, round them up, send them to camps, and laugh that they might be violently eaten alive by gators.

Like, imagine if your car insurance was tied to your job. Any time you switch jobs, you lose auto insurance for 90 days, then join a new insurance company. Or mortgage insurance. It's absurd to tie health care to a job.

How in the heck do they find the people who are to be deported so quickly? Answer: Elon! All his digging in the Social Security system and other agencies.

Afghani asylum seekers, members of Raleigh church, given a week to leave the U.S. Apostles Church in Raleigh has welcomed about 25 people who came to the U.S. after the Taliban took over.

"Christians who sought asylum from persecution by the Taliban are being told they must leave immediately or be deported.

"The news came in an email to a group living legally in north Raleigh... Apostles Church in Raleigh had welcomed them after the Taliban took over...

Also, I'd imagine he could file lawsuits. Bigly. They don't want the hassle, or being embarrassed when it's proven they had no evidence.

ICE Just Paid Palantir Tens of Millions for β€˜Complete Target Analysis of Known Populations’ The records show that Palantir is actively working on the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts which could soon impact U.S. citizens.

Her Fetus Has No Heartbeatβ€”They Still Won't Give Her An Abortion South Carolina's ban is torturing a 31-year-old mom *right now*

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.

She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.

This is what bans do.

But regular volunteers can't simply hand out bottles of water, when red states purposely make voting lines take hours. Sigh. :(

If you were outraged by the crimes against civilians on Oct 7th but not by the many more crimes against civilians *since* Oct 7th - just this week: kids being burned from head to toe; having their limbs amputated without anesthetic - then you don’t actually care about crimes against civilians.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

The entire world seems to understand this except Trump, Vance, Musk, many Fox hosts, and their cult.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Why would anyone who can avoid it come to the US now? Heartbreaking. Pointless. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st.

He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses."

They didn't show him a warrant.

They didn't give him paperwork.

And he's now suing.

Well, she wasn't a criminal.

But also, remember when Trump + his maga fans cried big tears, saying the Jan 6th rioters who had weapons, pled guilty, and beat law enforcement - that jail was like, really yucky and hard, and even tho they were criminals they shouldn't have to be there.

It's almost like you've never been to a bookstore. Where they sell books, plus other book-related items like pencils, bookmarks, posters, tote bags, etc.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Imagine this, but: it's the principal of your child's high school, talking about students, staff, and community members like this. Teaching kids to be foul-mouthed bullies, complain, whine. Very sad for America.
