Glad this is getting covered, but also… Completely surreal to read the NYT report on this as recently disclosed info, and just an allegation. This happened to every observer I know! It happened to me twice! I have it on video both times! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

Just because we aren't totally surprised, doesn't mean we can shrug it off. Decency, dignity, and humanity matter, even now. Especially now.

From his now-deleted and grotesque post targeting the Obamas, to his doctored image that altered the expression and skin tone of a Black civil rights lawyer, his use of AI is simply the newest form of an old pattern: open racism from Donald Trump.

John Thune has already called the Dems' list of (extremely weak) demands "unrealistic."
One of those demands was to require ICE to verify whether someone is a citizen before detaining them.
The GOP will not agree to NOT detain US citizens.
We all need to sit with that for a while.

When I worked in DC our office moved to 15th and K. Best feature of the office space was that the cafeteria looked out at the Washington Post building. Just seeing the building was like seeing a celebrity every day. What Bezos has done to the paper is just devastating.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
ICE MUST GO‼️

Proud of my denomination's role in this fight.
Today, UUA President Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt was arrested in Washington, D.C., alongside other people of faith protesting the DHS budget that funds ICE and CBP. “There is no moral justification,” she said. This is a developing story: https://bit.ly/3NKDUDj #UU #FaithInAction #Immigration #ICEOut

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
