This owl shows up every night in my backyard. It likes to sit on top of the arch. I think it’s a barred owl. I’m not a bird expert.

Truly amazing. What a beautiful gift of a visitor.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.

And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.

Sit with that.

-Shooting dead protesters.
-Raiding election offices.
-Imprisoning journalists.
-Illegally attacking countries.
-Leveling our White House.
-Destroying our government.

This is an administration (regime) that is not worried about losing elections.

I’m really surprised that Barron isn’t looking to join the military to carry on the Trump family’s proud tradition of military service to the United States.

They invaded a city with a force five times the size of the local police department, where the crime rates had been steadily declining, claiming to be restoring law and order, and killed two people in the process. If Biden did it in their town they would have been storming the US Capitol.

Jean Wilson Brutus was a 41 year old father of an 11 year old, detained by I*E on Dec 11th 2025 and died the next day to what I*E called “natural causes.”

Shortly after detainment, he was transferred to a hospital where he died. A nurse said it appeared he “fell down stairs.”
He deserves justice.

I want this from white men and more. Keep going!!!!

…and putting money in a Trump slush fund.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

-end qualified immunity
-reinstate TPS
-restore protections for unaccompanied kids
-rescind ICE guidance on detention of applicants for admission.
-open detention centers and ensure humane conditions
-end arrests for people following the rules & in courthouses, churches, schools, hospitals

I’ll believe it when I see it. As @pamkeithdc.bsky.social just said, you are “what MLK warned about, the white moderate more devoted to order than justice.” Please do more.

As @pamkeithdc.bsky.social justice said: “Chuck Schumer is what MLK warned about, the white moderate more devoted to order than justice.” Please use your influence.

They are being identified and called out because they are breaking the law. Anonymity breeds more lawlessness.

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.

*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

Be safe out there, Y'all. Someone just broke into my car.

They didn't steal anything, but they left 4 tickets to the Melania movie on my seat.

Exactly. Reform won’t work. They already refuse to follow the law, so how does making more laws help…?

Deaths in ICE detention

Deaths from measles

These two charts came up in back to back posts on my feed. First shows deaths in ICE custody. The second, deaths from measles.

The two charts present data differently (bar chart vs overlaid year lines) but share one obvious thing in common:

Trump’s policies are actively killing people

We already have guardrails called the CONSTITUTION and BILL OF RIGHTS — why does a single Senator or Congressman think the regime will respect “guardrails” in an appropriations bill?!? They abolished USAID and Dept of Ed despite appropriations FFS.

They're retreating. It's time to advance. Resignations, prosecutions. Motherfucking tribunals.

🧵 Happening in AZ

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Oh this is rich.

This thread is important. Her reference to how the response to the George Floyd moment never ultimately resulted in meaningful systemic change is spot on. After so much sacrifice by the people and communities who ICE targeted, we need lasting change.

Thanks

I have no doubt he will be back playing golf at Mar-a-lago soon. Benghazi times a million wouldn’t stop him. He’s a useless tool.

Wow. Who’s the photographer?

Minnesota moms are Time’s Person of the Year

Imperial Boomerang The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including the killing today of the intensive-care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans ...

The simple frightening truth: the machinery of American imperial terror is ready for us. Before we became its victims, we were its accomplices both at home and abroad. This short essay is remarkable in its clarity about where and who we are.
