I certainly hope journalists speak up about their colleagues being arrested but I have to say, 2+ years of journalists being silent about their Palestinian colleagues being murdered does not instill confidence in me
Schumer and Jeffries negotiating to limit the number of journalist arrested by the Department of Justice each year to a maximum of 20.
Never thought that the guy who asked whether Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 got lost in a black hole would be arrested for being an 𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆 or whatever, but here we are.
I guess we're just arresting journalists now.
From everything I’m hearing and reading, nothing in the ground in the Twin Cities has meaningfully changed.
Laminated notice taped to a utility pole that reads:
“ICE KIDNAPPED OUR NEIGHBOR HERE”
“AQUÍ LA MIGRA SECUESTRÓ A NUESTRO VECINO.”
“HALKAN IMMIGRATION-KA AYAA AFDUUBTAY DERISKEENA.”
South Minneapolis, January 2026
MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”
So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it
(H/T longtimehistory)
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
it’s the necropolitics / biopower collab we never asked for
The state of american politics is that one major party wants to kill you while the other simply wants you to die
The largest infrastructure projects currently being built in the US appear to be data centers and detention centers. The AI boom has coincided with ICE becoming the most heavily funded government agency. It's hard not to see a connection: This is the architectures of digital fascism
The college at which I'm employed, which has signed a contract with the AI firm that stole books from 131 colleagues & me, paid a student to write an op-ed for the student paper promoting AI, guided the writing of it, and did not disclose this to the paper. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...
Okay so I was actually at this encounter, filmed the aftermath, and am briefly visible in this video, and I would point out that what he does here is briefly kick a car twice. ICE beats him up, shoots pepper balls into the crowd, and launches tear gas at everyone else before leaving.
screenshot of article text, beginning with answers to questions about the feasibility of any actual ICE/CBP deescalation in communities they’re currently besieging: “The answers to those questions sure look like "no," "no," and "no." To wit, The Wall Street Journal reports that some Trump aides have realized that all this has become a "political liability," so they're in discussions over "how to continue deportations without clashing with protesters." They're also planning new steps to "improve ICE's image."

any proposal that doesn’t acknowledge and grapple with this reality is unserious; it’s self-soothing, an attempt to deflect unwanted attention and pointed criticisms.
Microsoft and Blackrock have "have largely given up on organic adoption [of AI] by consumers. They have moved on to a new dream of forced adoption mandated by government and managerial coercion."
Fascinating piece here on what Davos can teach us about the AI industry by @mattseybold.bsky.social
Yes - until you see it firsthand, it’s hard to understand how upsetting and enraging it is to see these guys operate in your community. They are dressed for war, they beat civilians up, they openly antagonize neighbors, they’re masked, they carry people away. Everyone is livid at every scene.
It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day
Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have
This is a speech designed by someone who thinks you are stupid. He’s explicitly promising to keep the *recently tripled* budget of the DHS gestapo if there are “reforms” that, behind closed doors, their lawyers admit are unenforceable, irrelevant, and even harmful.
I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
truly, not covering themselves in glory
Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States and Stephen.
important reminder for me, needed from time to time
update: it is better that they say nothing
Really quite stunning in its cynicism, and that is grading on the higher ed administrator curve
I kept reading and just found out that this community college also runs one of the largest police academies in the state so
I thought to myself, why would anyone in higher offer to run secret police academies to train secret police to secret police better, and then … whelp
the author already runs a police academy
I looked up the author, whose other IHE bylines include a ‘think piece’ on DEI, and unfortunately he is the president of a community college in my state that serves predominantly Latinx students
what the fuck is this
