Kyiv’s great freeze Russian strikes have plunged Ukrainians into their hardest winter yet, but they still want to fight on

Kyiv’s Air Force was so short of Pac-3 interceptor missiles for its Patriot air defence systems last month that their launchers sat empty, unable to respond while ballistic missiles pounded power plants unchallenged. www.ft.com/content/5321...

"Ubreu had been detained after federal agents rammed into his car and broke his car window...he had been delivering groceries for mutual aid work through his church when he was detained. She said he’s a legal immigrant."

AND they won't give him meds that he'd likely die without. Heinous & cruel.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

🚨NEW: A federal judge out of Oregon has issued a sweeping rebuke of the DOJ’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls.

The opinion released Thursday concluded that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warned that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

PSA: The U.S. Postal Service has announced a change to their postmark date system, which could impact filing taxes, mailing important government documents, and voting.

Reviewing video from Fulton County elections raid.

Taken aback by the dismissive & sneering attitude from FBI agents toward the cop politely asking to see the warrant.

Looked him up: He's an immigrant w/ a doctorate in philosophy. His thesis? "Force by police officers toward African Americans."

Every American needs to watch this:

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

We were outraged by Liam, but Diana is a young girl that has been in an ICE prison even longer. The wee girl still is in prison. Be loud! Share! Justice for Diana Crespo Gonzalez!

NYPD Patrolman in subway stations on the platforms are confronting ICE, pulling off their masks and warning them to to put a finger on anyone. Cops are getting in their faces, shouting, This is New York, it’s our business, not yours.🤬 A blush of embarrassment reveals them when they’re unmasked.

Potato salad

Elon Musk’s father accused of sexually abusing his children and stepchildren Errol Musk, rarely mentioned by his tech billionaire son, dismisses New York Times report as ‘nonsense’ and ‘false’

Given the developments of the past few days, perhaps it's worth re-upping this @theguardian.com article from last Fall: "Elon Musk’s father accused of sexually abusing his children and stepchildren" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Donate to Bring Hayam and her children back home!, organized by Alisha OLIVARES We, as members of the Colorado Springs community, urgently seek your support … Alisha OLIVARES needs your support for Bring Hayam and her children back home!

Yesterday marked eight months of detention for Hayam El Gamal and her five children—ages 18, 16, 9, and 5-year-old twins—who are being detained at an immigration facility in Dilley, Texas.

The kids have begun skipping meals out of depression. The 9 year old says she wishes she was dead.

Screenshot of a map and table listing ICE warehouse purchase data.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

How to Tax the Ultrarich Learn about the Fair Share Tax (FAST), a practical, constitutionally sound plan to tax the ultrarich, close loopholes, and prevent dynastic wealth accumulation.

The Roosevelt Institute published a 180-page report on the methodological and administrative challenges of wealth taxation and I love them for it.

There's a 1,600 year old hidden holy well in a very unexpected place! There was even a cryptic clue to its location on a now vanished old street sign for Nassau Street. The former Irish name mysteriously said, "Sráid Thobar Phádraig" or Patrick’s Well Road.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

In a sane world, the decision by Rufo, Vance, & co. to slander and slap a target on the traumatized, hardworking immigrants who revitalized a rust belt city -- and who *were invited* to that city -- would be a stain on their careers that they never live down.

They should be reminded of it. Often.

🚨BREAKING: This brave immigration attorney is blowing the whistle on ICE saying agents are keeping all the Immigrants’ money, jewelry, Work Visas and any state documentation they had on them when detained. This is disgusting.

#FundHealthcareOverICE

Ohio bill would cut funding to school districts suing over vouchers House Bill 671 would withhold state money from districts challenging EdChoice programs, affecting more than 330 districts currently in litigation

Just so we’re clear: the GOP wants so badly for you to believe their promise that vouchers won’t take state funding from your public school…

…that they want to take even more funding from your public school when it sues because of lost funding in the first place

ICE agent wearing skull mask that is usually associated with the neo Nazi atomwaffen group

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

The rumored Trump pick to be U.S. Attorney for New Jersey has under five years of legal experience but is proficient in Microsoft Excel and Office

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

"Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

ICE detained multiple kids (all under the age of 10!) in the last week alone. Still kidnapping people based solely on the way they look. Still arresting parents at school pick up.

Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin won’t change that. ICE leaving will.

Alert: ICE is drawing weapons on legal observers in Minneapolis.

“Unconscionable,” Jon thought as he found an email address online for the lead prosecutor, Joseph Dernbach, who was named in the story. Peering through metal-rimmed glasses, Jon opened Gmail on his computer monitor. “Mr. Dernbach, don’t play Russian roulette with H’s life,” he wrote. “Err on the side of caution. There’s a reason the US government along with many other governments don’t recognise the Taliban. Apply principles of common sense and decency.” That was it. In five minutes, Jon said, he finished the note, signed his first and last name, pressed send and hoped his plea would make a difference. Five hours and one minute later, Jon was watching TV with his wife when an email popped up in his inbox. He noticed it on his phone. “Google,” the message read, “has received legal process from a Law Enforcement authority compelling the release of information related to your Google Account.”

A retiree wrote this email to a DHS attorney. Within five hours, DHS demanded Google turn over records for his account.

A Kafkaesque form of domestic surveillance, intimidating Americans for lawful speech.
