Little 2 month old Juan has been deported according to Univision. He had been held at the Dilley Detention Center. Before he was heartlessly deported, I addressed Juan’s detention on the show. I ask, “does Donald Trump hate Hispanic people that much?” full show: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Federal judge rules Kilmar Abrego Garcia can’t be re-detained by immigration authorities A federal judge has ruled that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement cannot re-detain Kilmar Abrego Garcia because a 90-day detention period has expired and the U.S. government has no viable plan f...

Once again, a judge sees right through the Trump Admin’s attempt to deny Kilmar Abrego Garcia his due process rights.

Make no mistake: This ruling is a win for all of our rights.

Massie not backing down.

This whole Regime is part of a pedophile cover-up of Pedophiles.

The DOJ is monitoring what lawmakers search for in the Epstein files. Maybe they could put that same energy into monitoring, I don’t know… the people in the files.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

A multi-pronged investigation by federal and tribal authorities, with the support of the FBI, has seemingly stalled. And a year later Emily’s family is still left waiting, desperately, for justice.

You can see why the White House would want to TACO their metal tariffs.

“.. aluminum in America has surged to a record high well above $5,000 per metric ton .. The impact would be soon felt on anything made with aluminum -- including beer cans.”

Irish man held in ICE detention says he fears for his life and asks Ireland for help Seamus Culleton describes conditions as ‘torture’ as he pleads with taoiseach to raise his case with Donald Trump

An Irish man held by ICE for five months despite having a valid work permit and no criminal record says he fears for his life and has appealed for help from Ireland’s government.

“I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.”

Must read reporting for @propublica.org by @micarosenberg.bsky.social, who spent weeks speaking with parents and children detained at Dilley about conditions there.

I keep trying to figure out wtf he means by "I also think what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

Because I think that 5 year old US citizen is much more harmed by the knowledge that their friends could be kidnapped & disappeared than the fact that a kid in their class's family is seeking asylum.

Conservatives Outraged Super Bowl Happening In Foreign City Of Santa Clara

It’s almost like Putin is running our foreign policy.

A racist screenshot of Michelle and Barack Obama

Last night, Trump posted a video to his social media platform that contained a racist clip showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. It's still up:

Democracy dies in tax cuts

Jessie Diggins, Olympic cross-country skiing gold medalist, from the Twin Cities: “I want to make sure you know who I’m racing for…”

Welcome to Headquarters, the new Gen-Z led progressive content hub.

Trump mocks the idea of praying during a meal at the National Prayer Breakfast:

“Mike Johnson is a very religious person... He’ll say to me sometimes at lunch, ‘Sir, may we pray?’ I say, ‘Excuse me?’ You know, we’re having lunch.”

A few years ago, the IRS got additional funding. What happened? More audits of wealthy tax cheats and better customer service for everyone else.

Fast forward to now and the IRS is so understaffed and underfunded that it’s using HR employees to process tax returns.

Trump delivers for the oligarchs.

“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”
