This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

one of those things you need to watch if for no other reason than the trump administration doesn't want you to:

This was (is) a terrific piece

Major corporations bankroll political ad featuring white supremacist slogan Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY), who is running to replace Mitch McConnell in the United States Senate, released his first television ad earlier this month.

"The day of accountability will come": Rep. Delia Ramirez on abolishing and prosecuting DHS The Handbasket spoke with the congresswoman who called out ICE long before it was popular.

Counterpoint to Schumer's milquetoast ▶️ "The Department of Homeland Security was created intentionally after 9/11 to violate people's rights under the guise of protecting the homeland." - @ramirez.house.gov shared some powerful thoughts w @marisakabas.bsky.social re the need to dismantle the DHS.

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

I don’t keep up with explosive technology, so learning about these new bombs is giving me the same feeling as learning about Hiroshima as a child. Deep, deep sadness that we are capable of such things. Both kinds of weapons killing so utterly that there’s nothing left to grieve.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

You told me about something you learned in school. A professor said that one of the things that helped people accept their work as concentration camp guards was that the terrible conditions of the camps themselves made the prisoners’ literal filth synonymous with their inherent filthiness. If they weren’t dirty then they wouldn’t be this dirty. It applies to modern prison guards and the ICE kidnappers as well. Look at this worm living in the wormhole. Writhing in its own muck. Doing it to offend my sense of decency come to think of it. A personal insult to me. Will no one rid me of these insects? Let me ask you something. Take a quick inventory of your life. Like mine it’s currently a mostly comfortable and safe one right? But be honest with yourself. Do you feel closer to the chasm of poverty with perhaps a devastating medical bill or an eviction or a ruinous encounter with the police or a worsening struggle with addiction or closer to the attainment of wealth and power? Which end of the see-saw are you actually sitting on?

I cried my eyes out at this movie. There is no book I have given as a gift more.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls In the past few weeks, passing the legislation has been a unifying rally cry for Republicans, a welcome distraction from the party’s cratering public opinion polls.

Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

On Trump's orders, the National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

More of this, please.

Aside from the absolute fucking evil of turning old warehouses into concentration camps, it will also have the side effect of hollowing out and rotting every nearby community.

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE 404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.

Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵
