@quigley.house.gov @durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov this is what is continuing to happen with your inaction. File articles of impeachment every day, deny unanimous consent, stop confirming their nominees. Shut this down now
I just read the declaration that Kira Kelley asked J. Blackwell to consider.
This immigrant describes being
-unlawfully arrested
-taken from one overcrowded & filthy prison to another over 19 days
-held incommunicado
& ICE never telling him a court ordered his release

He describes an American gulag

Example 9,234 of why billionaires shouldn't exist.
again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

This will pair well with my 2020 This Machine Kills Fascists sticker. Do good out there folks

Well we tried the experiment of letting people amass extraordinary wealth, its been a spectacular failure. Thinking we need people to be elected that will end this, I'll vote for them, you should too

Hey @durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov this guys blocking UC so he can sue half a mil because he tried to overturn the 2020 election. You could deny UC for 1000 principled reasons, we are watching
NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT

Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

You better let us destroy your communities or we are gonna keep killing you.

Hey @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov the milquetoast proposals you all are considering in the Senate are going to let this continue, enough is enough, we need a true opposition party in Washington
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Oh, yeah last I checked if you spit at law enforcement or kick a car that's punishable by death, wtf is this reporting, this does not materially change anything. If anything it shows excessive force yet again (do they do anything else) by the agents
More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.
Videos Show Alex Pretti in Confrontation With Agents 11 Days Before His Death
More than a week before federal agents killed Mr. Pretti, a Minneapolis nurse, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their S.U.V.

Oh man that Matt Talibbi guy or whatever his name was from the "Twitter Files" is not gonna believe this shit, might even have to get a whole congressional hearing call it "TikTok Tales." The @theonion.com article basically writes itself 🤣
More TikTok shenanigans — users are reporting the word “Epstein” won’t go through in Direct messages 🤔

@durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov this is not enough, no DHS funding, abolish ICE, do not cave on this. Bovino was a pawn in the game, his ouster does not signal the end of this fight
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.
Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week
Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Ok now the Dems needs to state clearly he will be prosecuted for his crimes and the crimes that were committed under his direction as soon as possible
Exclusive: Border Patrol “Commander at Large” Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role and is expected to retire soon, sources tell @nickmiroff.bsky.social.
Gregory Bovino Gets Demoted
The Border Patrol chief was the public face of a traveling immigration crackdown on cities governed by Democrats.

Shameful that our hard earned tax dollars are being spent on anti-immigration propaganda. Our diversity is our strength! I wouldn't be here if it weren't for a 1st gen immigrant maternal grandfather or my 6th gen paternal grandfather fighting and earning a bronze star in WWII to ensure our freedom.
Here in Panama, we now have ads aimed at Latin Americans that say, in Spanish, "The border is closed... women will be raped, people will be killed... there's no opportunity here for you here in this death"

It's wild to see the USA (correctly) rebranding from "Land of Opportunity" to "Land of Death"
January 26, 2026 at 4:52 AM
Where are all the 2A wackos, the "tyrannical government turning on its own people" you were always warning about and needing your guns for is here. So, are you going to protect your fellow citizens??
January 24, 2026 at 4:07 PM
@chrislhayes.bsky.social know anyone who could get this on the air??
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Or they could stop doing illegal shit and leave
JD Vance: "I'm headed to Minneapolis where we're gonna talk with ICE agents and local officials about how we turn down the chaos. My simple piece of advice to them is going to be if you want to turn down the chaos in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement."
January 22, 2026 at 2:59 PM
They can't take a hint can they.......
Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.

“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”
January 22, 2026 at 1:33 AM
@durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @quigley.house.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social we cannot continue to fund this agency, it cannot continue to exist, there is no reform possible
🚨ICE violently dragged a U.S. veteran out of her car near Minneapolis

ICE: Get out of the f*cking car!
Vet: You know I'm a Marine Corps veteran?
ICE: I don't care what you are!
[ICE drags her from car & then points taser at passenger]
ICE: "F*cking move I'll f*cking taze you!"

Thankful for people like this guy getting out there and standing up for his community
I don’t know who this Minnesota man is, but he absolutely speaks for me.

Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

To be fair 13 is WAYYY cooler. It's the same number as the Company of Thorin Oakenshield from the Hobbit so there's that
Finding the reactions to this bleakly funny. Lads, the point isn’t that you are sending enough people to “win”, because we in fact, can’t win. It is just to have a tripwire! If you are going “why not 13, like Germany?” you have not understood how bad things are.

This is what the majority of your voters want, DO NOT listen to the centrist think tanks you all love, this will motivate your voters and especially young voters. Do the right thing @quigley.house.gov @durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov
The reality is that ICE and DHS actually CAN and ARE attacking people who are exercising their rights.

I say this NOT to dissuade anyone from exercising those rights, but to challenge @tedlieu.bsky.social and other politicians to do more to protect those rights than post this kind of thing.
The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:

1. Film ICE in public

2. Photograph ICE in public

3. Observe what ICE does in public

ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.
