The Talk

They want to scare people out of posting ICE-critical content, because they know these posts are turning even their supporters against them. But the better option is to take a page out of their playbook and flood the zone.

(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits: paid for by cuts to reproductive health care paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid paid for by cuts to SNAP paid for by cuts to clean energy projects paid for by cuts to obesity prevention paid for by cuts to disaster response paid for by cuts to energy tax credits

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

“And the folks who are foisting this destruction upon us will continue to eat caviar and canapés in Palm Beach, or launch vanity rockets while they luxuriate with their ‘Real Housewives’-styled paramours and prostitutes on their megayachts, as the world singes and floods around them.”

Please read this long but important thread from an immigration defense attorney.

If this administration is permitted to scale its current abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of immigrants to the breadth and scope for which they’re currently planning, we’ll all be witness to mass atrocities.

We are facing a humanitarian crisis here. Each passing day we learn of new neighbors who haven’t left their homes and have fallen through the cracks. Lots of people aren’t connected to mutual aid networks. Just terrible suffering caused by the federal government.

Beyond the pale 😳

So they can sue for $10 billion now, right?

Additionally, on January 25, 2026, Department of Homeland Security, Tricia McLaughlin issued a statement to 60 Minutes about the incident with Ms. Martinez stating, “On October 4, border patrol law enforcement officers were ambushed by domestic terrorists that rammed federal agents with their vehicles.” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-video-contradicts-border-patrol-account-ofchicago-shooting-lawyer-says-60-minutes.

A striking example of why good cause exists to modify the order is that the Government’s false narrative surrounding this case has reached all the way to the United States Supreme Court. In a recent Supreme Court decision, Justice Samuel Alito relied on the Government’s briefing repeating the false narratives surrounding this case and wrote: In a widely publicized event on October 4, a federal vehicle carrying Border Patrol agents was boxed in on a public road by 10 civilian vehicles, and 2 of those vehicles rammed the Government vehicle. As the agents exited their vehicle, one of the civilian vehicles was driven directly at an agent, forcing the agent to fire in self-defense. Trump v. Illinois, No. 25A443, 607 U.S. ___ (Dec. 23, 2025), at 8.

Marimar Martinez is asking the body camera showing what really happened when a CBP goon shot her on October 4 be released, in part bc Tricia McLaughlin continues to lie about her, in part bc Sam Alito believes those lies.

The federal government is gunning people down in the streets, lying about what happened and then preventing any independent investigation of the killings

Pretti’s last words were, reportedly, “are you ok?”

the nba postponed a game because the united states government is killing its citizens

a functional congress would have hearings about this immediately

Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.

“Look: Rome wasn’t burned in a day.”

I've seen reports some pets are allergic to glade plug ins and other air fresheners?

💔💔💔💔

This is one of the most unsettling three-paragraph sequences I've read in my life, and I've spent two decades reading the most deranged people on the planet.

MN's AG: “We will not save our country in a courtroom. ... ultimately, this country will be saved by the people of the United States. And so that — you protesting, you gathering evidence, you sharing it with us, you communicating with us — is action. It’s actually how we’re going to win.”

They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.

“The first US sale of Venezuelan crude was to a company whose senior oil trader donated to Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and attended a White House meeting with the president last week.”

Just shocked to read about this. 🙄
