If your loved one has been detained, call the Siembra NC Hotline at (336) 543-0353
Tural Atakishiyev had never been arrested. He had attended every required check-in. He had asked for asylum because of documented persecution of gay people in his home country. But Tural was still detained at a regular appointment to check in with ICE in January.

Rep. Stansbury on the Epstein files: "Congress is controlled by Donald Trump's allies…He is being actively shielded by members of his own party…We need to hold these people accountable. And my message to Donald Trump is we're coming for you. We are not moving on."

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.

“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.

But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress, according to a federal lawsuit.

A Kansas man wrote an op-ed criticizing local police for cooperating with ICE. Instead of respecting his First Amendment rights, the police used automatic license plate readers to track him in hopes of finding wrongdoing.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care.

Thank you @mehdirhasan.bsky.social. American news outlets need to contextualize all this so much better than they have been. They can't keep Groundhog Day-ing their coverage - forgetting yesterday's chaos and acting like today's is somehow isolated from yesterday's and what will surely be tomorrow's
Please, please, media outlets, remember the C word: context. You can’t discuss Trump’s apes post - or his ‘blame a staffer’ excuse - if you’re not also factoring in and reminding your viewers/readers about his birtherism, his ‘send her back’ remarks, him calling Somalis ‘low IQ’.

If you still haven't shunned that nice cousin of yours who also happens to be MAGA, or your funny uncle you just can't believe supports ICE cuz he's so nice, or your sweet cookie-baking nana who helped poison our country by voting for Trump twice, please go ahead and do so now. Thanks.

Hey @democrats.org Stop begging shameless MAGA politicians to denounce President Miller's racist post. Say you don't expect them to because they're also racist and if they aren't then prove it by impeaching or 25THing, not offering words they'll have to repeat tomorrow when he does more awfulness.
February 6, 2026 at 6:59 PM
Let's not give oxygen to any idea this was some sort of accident. This is part of Stephen Miller's Flood the Zone chaos strategy for retaining power - do something chaotic hourly that is either outrageous, or small but weird, or big and awful like kidnapping a child - to paralyze us in polycrisis.
It’s fair to wonder how many people have the keys to the personal social media accounts of this particular user, such that they could *post* (not draft, post) something late at night when most higher-ups are likely sleeping. Because this makes it sound like a rando, which would be odd.

Just call the ALL the MAGA shits racist - stop asking them to show shame or some imagined good side of their character - they won't and if they do it will be for show today and then they'll do more of their awful stuff tomorrow. All MAGA politicians are bad, its ok to say that now, @democrats.org
Donald Trump’s racist video of the Obamas is disgusting and vile.

This is beyond unacceptable from the U.S. President.

Republicans at every level should join Democrats in denouncing this dangerous bigotry.

I originally got on here to talk movielove. So I'm taking a break from the polycrisis to mention a text thread I'm on with some friends where we're talking about a riveting, superbly directed and acted scene from The Abyss that shld be talked about as one of the great scenes of all time.

We don't talk enough about how movie villain level madman President Miller could set off a nuke anytime. And now that he's backed more than ever by powerful elites desperate to hide their Epstein crimes, they may all just decide to blow us all to bits and go live in their bunker palaces

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

We need to start calling out reporters by name who don't stick up for their colleague. If you are the reporter after Trump attacks a colleague, you either stick up for your colleague and ask the same question they did, or we shame you on here. Do we know who didn't stick up for collins here?
From the audio, it seems the reporter who asked the question after Collins changed the subject, did not stand up for their colleague, and allowed Trump’s repulsive tirade to be the last word on the ‘Epstein question that Collins was asking about. How about some solidarity from the press corps?
