SoFi Stadium worker was fired after threatening to call ICE on Latino concertgoers.

Let’s be clear. Weaponizing ICE against Latino folks is racist and never OK. In this context, the firing was absolutely warranted.

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.”

NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

Plane with ICE detainees on tarmac at airport at Pease for more than 12 hours A plane with ICE detainees landed at Portsmouth International Airport at Pease around 1 a.m. Monday, and the nor'easter led it to remain on the tarmac for more than 12 hours.

Make this make sense … what is the point of inviting #Epstein victims to the #SOTU & be subjected to Trump’s lies while they just sit there?

Wouldn’t it be a more powerful statement to invite them to DC and boycott either them on the National Mall with @meidastouch.com @moveon.org

Five days after Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, federal authorities quietly ordered New York law enforcement — including NYPD’s Special Victims Unit — to stand down.
It’s been a cover up since the beginning.

Trump’s approval rating with independents hits a new low ahead of the State of the Union | CNN Politics When President Donald Trump gives his State of the Union address Tuesday, he will face a public that increasingly questions his priorities and expresses broad doubts about whether his proposed policie...

"As Trump prepares his State of the Union address, he's facing a 19-point drop in approval among Latinos and an 18-point drop among Americans younger than 45. Among independents, his approval rating has dropped 15 points over the past year to 26%, the lowest it’s been in either of his terms..."

Dear Congressional Democrats,

Just don’t go. Please. Don’t play silly games or wave signs in protest in the House chamber tomorrow night. JUST DON’T GO. Period. Do not normalize who he is and what he’s doing. Boycott his speech. Don’t go.

Sincerely,

A Very New Democrat

I understand FBI failures better than most. In fact, a failure by the FBI resulted in the Parkland shooting. @FBIDirectorKash, you are a disgrace. While you spend time getting drunk, the FBI needs leadership. I hope nobody dies because of your inability to provide it.

Trump and the Republican Party illegally stole $175 billion from American businesses and consumers and is now refusing to give it back. bsky.app/profile/atru...

WATCH: “He’s a narrative breaker… they hear about ‘demoncrats’ & baby-eating & sodomy - then they see an interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social and he’s like TikTok Mr. Rogers.”

This is how turtles flirt. Let me flutter my hands in your face!

I don't care that Kash Patel somehow wormed his way into the US Men's hockey team's locker room celebration.

I care that this ridiculous person is the director of the FBI and had lied to Congress about Trump, Epstein, and all global elites he has been corruptly paid to run interference for.

UPDATE — after officials said it was just a rumor in the face of massive backlash, WILSON COUNTY’s mayor confirms ICE is considering a 16000 person “MEGA CENTER” in Lebanon, TN 🤔

County Mayor Randall Hutto opposes it.

New GDP data falls far short, shows 2025 ended with weak economic growth In the first year of Trump’s second term, economic growth fell to a nine-year low, and domestic job growth fell to a 16-year low. It’s worth asking why.

Great events in Defiance, Warren, Franklin, Lucas, and Licking counties last week.

Ohioans everywhere are fired up about @amyactonoh and ready for real change.

I think if we keep resisting in all the ways we have been - we have a chance.

Honestly, we get rid of Manchin and Sinema only to get Fetterman. It's so frustrating.

Members of Congress @ilhanmn.bsky.social and @angiecraigmn.bsky.social visited the Whipple Federal Building on 2/20/26, only to find it completely empty. However, ICE agents were still releasing people from it throughout the rest of the day and into the evening.
