It almost seems like this guy is Donald John Trump's personal criminal defense lawyer. Oh wait a second .....

Miller's claim was pioneered by none other than Confederate President Jefferson Davis:
"The condition of slavery with us is, in a word, Mr. President, nothing but the form of civil government instituted for a class of people not fit to govern themselves."

While I appreciate the sentiment, thinking the ICE monsters can read is assuming a bit much. 😉

"To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children. Ask yourselves why you continue to work for an agency responsible for murders on American streets."

“.. At least $31 million was also slated to flow to entities affiliated with the family of Steve Witkoff ..”

The ICE Storm: a year-long escalation Funding, law, rhetoric, violence. How each has fed the other to lead here

Since last year, we’ve been reporting on ICE extensively. But every week brings new information, and it’s getting harder to keep track of what’s happening, let alone remember what’s already happened.

So here’s a quick thread to help.

Florida mandates driver's license tests must be taken in English, eliminates other languages Starting Feb. 6, all printed tests in multiple languages and interpreter services for oral exams will be removed throughout the state.

Florida mandates driver's license tests must be taken in English, eliminates other languages

This change will begin on Friday, Feb. 6

Remember that Tom Barrack was prosecuted (but acquitted) for being the foreign agent of these folks.

‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company $500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

Nearly 350,000 Haitians are set to lose their TPS this week, and a sizeable share of them care for older Americans. https://cnn.it/3ZJVuKg

How the EV pullback is affecting factories and jobs in the South Automakers, suppliers and battery makers were funneling hundreds of billions of dollars into EV-related manufacturing in the U.S. Now it's all in question.

Stephen Miller: Indentured servitude, but make it lifelong and hereditary.

Narrator: That's ... slavery.

Miller: Sorry, was there a question there?

The Film Students Who Can No Longer Sit Through Films The attention-span crisis goes to the movies.

“The modern attention-span crisis is not limited to the written word,” Rose Horowitch reports. “Now professors are finding that they can’t even get students—film students—to sit through movies”:

Whoa. Dems just flipped a Texas state senate seat in a district that Trump carried by 17 points. Not only that, but the win was decisive, making this an enormous swing. Plus, Republicans went all in to try to save the seat, to no avail.

Taylor Rehmet, a Democrat (& @runforsomething.net candidate!) flipped a state senate district in Texas that Trump had won by 17 points.

Expand your imagination. When great candidates rooted in community step up to lead, anything is possible.

So… a bribe?

Trump got $500 Million and U.A.E. got “tightly guarded” A.I. chips. How is this not a bribe, exactly?

Now at 8 AM ET TODAY @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social

I'll explain why every dimension of society is turning against Trump's overreach--join us!

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

The Opposition Report #10 The occupation of Minneapolis, imperialism, MAHA, and more.

“The “physicians” and other folks now running the CDC and FDA, as well as the constellation of various advisory panels and committees, are now openly saying that they will accept a world where more children die of preventable diseases in the name of their anti-vaccine crusades.”

I've been saying for years--Texas isn't a "red" state. Texas is a non-voting state. We have among the lowest voter turn-outs in the nation/world. When voters vote, things change.

And, yes, they make it hard to vote here. And, yes, you know why.

Democrat wins special election for red Texas Senate seat With ballots tallied from all but a handful of voting centers, Rehmet had 57% of the vote, besting the 43% for his GOP opponent, Leigh Wambsganss, who had a massive spending advantage.

Breaking: Democrat Taylor Rehmet wins solidly red Texas Senate seat in stunning special election upset.

Here is Tom Morello at his "solidarity & resistance" concert Friday in Minnesota calling to "ARREST THE PRESIDENT." This is the message we need from Democratic leaders. Trump not only attempted a coup and incited the Jan 6, he is now using his masked armed agents to terrorize and kill Americans!

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Resistance to Trump 2.0 is getting more confrontational | Dana R Fisher In Trump’s first term, activists focused on lobbying and voting. Now tactics are shifting to nonviolent civil disobedience

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Using your terror goons to attack peaceful people is not going to make them meekly retreat and cower. It's going to make them even more mad at you

America is not an underage girl you can beat into submission on Epstein's rape island

I'd like to see the midnight report to be certain, but yeah. This is going to be about a 30 point swing in the margin towards the Democrat from the 2024 presidential election (40 point swing from the 2022 midterm result for the seat) if the current vote holds up. Stunning

‼️‼️‼️‼️ Per reporters on scene, Leigh Wambsganss has shut down her party. She hasn't conceded to Taylor Rehmet yet, but apparently told supporters that “we’ll be back in November.”
