Think of how much violence coming to people detained that we’re NOT aware of. I bet there’s so, so much we do not know, and that it’s even more horrific.
How are some humans so bottomlessly kind while others are so thoroughly, brutally evil?

People held at the Fort Bliss immigration detention camp in Texas report guards have crushed their testicles, beaten them, broken their teeth, and more.
We're demanding an end to this inhumane treatment and to immigration detention at Fort Bliss for good.

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"Never again" for me, but not for thee.
The "never again" museum people are basically saying here that the sentiment cannot extend to people who are not Jewish.
That we cannot extrapolate "never again" to people of different races and ethnicities.
What Trump goon is now in charge at the museum? 🤔

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

The parallels/similarities to Anne Frank and the millions like her are CLEAR.
Wake up. Nobody is exploiting antisemitism more than the far right, because hating antisemitism is a too-convenient vehicle for Islamophobia.

So, ICE is a goon squad.

The Sex Criminal in Chief is throwing bones to fellow sex criminals so they can do more sex crime. Oh, and disappear/beat/abuse/murder people.

ICE is riddled with sex criminals.
A January 2026 report by the Pacific Antifascist Research Collective identified 30 ICE and CBP agents with documented convictions and arrests, some for serious violent and sexual crimes.
At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.

As I mentioned on MS NOW yesterday, it’s really important that no one, including the media, let Trump distance himself from this thing that he has vociferously defended and over which he has power.
Was on TV earlier, asked about Leavitt trying to distance Trump from the Pretti death and then about some of the other stories we've heard about immigration enforcement. (Sorry for the cruddy quality.)
