Rep. Ansari Statement on United States Attack on Iran.

Here's the floor plan for the new ICE concentration camp in Georgia. Look familiar? Let's take a look at some similar blueprints throughout history.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

😬

Extending gentleness to the women who are just realizing for the first time ever that the beauty standards that have taught us to hate our bodies were set by a bunch of rich cis men who are attracted to children. May your discomfort and anger be a revolution.

2026 basically

I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: If you believe you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.

My team at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) has shared a big data update, covering all recorded US protests through Jan 2026. Some key takeaways 🧵:

Kristi Noem has to go.
Gregory Bovino has to go.
Stephen Miller has to go.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

Schumer and Jeffries present their list to Republican leaders, "laying out clear legislative actions to rein in ICE and stop the violence."

They also called for "fully ramping down the surge in Minnesota and removing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem from her position."

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Do not bs us on this.

Don’t even think about it.

Not one single day of an extension.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Defund ICE.
Disable the grift.
Disempower the Epstein class.
Defy authoritarianism.
Discredit Trumpism.
Deconstruct MAGA.
Defeat the GOP.

Thank you for your attention to these matters.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I am absolutely sickened by the many rich, powerful & famous men whose names are being outed in these files as having gone to Epstein's island.

Rep. Thomas Massie & I always said this would be a moral reckoning for our nation.

Looks like that reckoning begins today.

Ocean Beach this morning… just wow!!

"Every good thing you have in your life is the product of someone else's struggle."

For me, this is true in a very direct way. My parents fled China during the Cultural Revolution. My life would be extremely different if they'd kept complying with what was demanded of them.

This is a very powerful video from comedian Josh Johnson. Not just because what he says that's meaningful. But because it shows an emerging trend that high profile people have finally started speaking up, despite concerns it might alienate their followers.

It is time to choose sides.

From what I'm hearing from folks on the ground, this is exactly correct. This regime does nothing but lie, and they respond to nothing but strength. Dems and other leaders should recognize they're weak now - ignore the propaganda and go on offense.

(around the No Kings logo, images of megaphones, and a photo of protesters holding signs that read “ICE OUT”) MARCH 28 NO KINGS NO THRONES. NO CROWNS.

The date for the next No Kings Day is set.

But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

Whistleblower Tipline Do you have a tip to share about unlawful or unconstitutional activity-or other wrongdoing-in a federal agency or other organization? Now more than ever, Congress depends on insiders to conduct its co...

If you work for ICE or Border Patrol and have information about unlawful conduct taking place at your agency, please speak up.

House Judiciary Dems want to hear from you. America needs to know about crimes committed in our name. As a whistleblower, you can share anonymously:

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
