Nearly a year ago, Zohran Mamdani confronted Trump “border czar” Tom Homan after ICE took Mahmoud Khalil.

Republicans targeted pro-Palestine students. Then, with no firm pushback, expanded their operations to what we see today.

Mamdani was among the few Democrats who immediately stood against it.

Defendants respond that Senator Kelly is seeking to exempt himself from the rules
of military justice that "Congress has expressly made applicable to retired
servicemembers." Defs.' Opp'n at 1. Horsefeathers! While Congress has chosen to apply the Uniform Code of Military Justice to military retirees as well as active-duty
servicemembers, see 10 U.S.C. § 802(a)(4), that choice has little bearing on the scope of
First Amendment protections for retirees. The First Amendment "is a limitation on the
power of Congress," NLRB v. Cath. Bishop of Chicago, 440 U.S. 490,499 (1979), not the
other way around!

BREAKING: A judge rules Pete Hegseth violated Sen. Mark Kelly’s First Amendment rights by moving to strip him of his retired military rank for reminding troops to refuse illegal orders.

The judge called the defense secretary’s actions a threat to “the constitutional liberties of military retirees.”

DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different. "It’s time to get aggressive," a Border Patrol agent said shortly before Marimar Martinez was shot five times.

Newly released body camera footage further undermines the Trump administration’s efforts to falsely portray Marimar Martinez as a domestic terrorist.

Like in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, DHS might have gotten away with its false claims were it not for this video evidence.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
MARK KELLY,
Plaintiff,
Civil Case No. 26-81 (RJL)
V.
PETE HEGSETH, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
February 12, 2026 [Dkt. #2]
United States Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, has been censured by
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for voicing certain opinions on military actions and
policy. In addition, he has been subjected to proceedings to possibly reduce his retirement
rank and pay and threatened with criminal prosecution if he continues to speak out on these
issues.
Secretary Hegseth relies on the well-established doctrine that military
servicemembers enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental
obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces. Unfortunately for Secretary
Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over
the military. This Court will not be the first to do so!

fall decidedly in his favor. As such, his motion for a preliminary injunction on his First
Amendment claim is hereby GRANTED.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.
