"The United States government made a promise over 13 years ago... Straightforward, a promise."

Despite keeping their end of the bargain, Dreamers are now being swept up in this administration's mass deportation campaign.

Watch Sen. @padilla.senate.gov’s remarks on the government's broken promise.

Ohio sends voter registration data of nearly 8 million residents to DOJ Secretary of State LaRose says the handover is required under federal law.

Shame on Ohio for handing over personal voter data to DOJ.

While other states DEFEND their voters and elections from Trump’s attacks, Ohio happily gives in.

So silly. Micromanaging regular folks while our top officials steal from the taxpayers to enrich themselves

A handful of Republicans could end all of this. And there are quite a few who hate this war, masked terrorists in our cities, flouting of Congress, corruption, etc.

But unless they prove otherwise they’re all cowards.

Trump has no plan. This is a damning summary from The Economist’s Middle East Correspondent Gregg Carlstrom.

A standing reminder: a small handful of Republicans in Congress could stop this chaos tomorrow. They simply choose not to.

They won’t give it back.

This administration is telling every AI company in the country, your ethics stop where our desire for unchecked power begins. Refuse to build systems for dragnet surveillance and autonomous killing, and we will come after your bottom lineβ€”an authoritarian incentive structure. #holdfast

I actually think the behavior of the Republicans in the audience has been more noteworthy than Trump’s speech itself.

The braying, boorish jeers and yawps of a party fully given over to fascism.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. U.S. courts have found at least 4,400 cases since October in which judges ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained people unlawfully, but the administration has largely continued its im...

Judges have ruled more than 4,400 times since October (!) that the admin is "detaining immigrants unlawfully." Think of how much higher the number would be if all migrants had counsel & could afford bond. It's obscene. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president somedayβ€”it’s just a matter of time.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

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...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social always reminds us that art is an important part of the resistance. I’m excited that my husband will be debuting his Peace de Resistance exhibition on Friday, March 6 from 5-10 PM at Brick City Artworks in Dayton, OH. (1)

A line chart going from Jan 2009 to Jan 2026 showing very few cases until Trump’s second term, where the line takes off nearly vertically, showing more than 6,600 cases in Jan 2026 alone.

Habeas cases filed by immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have taken off to levels we have never seen before. Just look at that chart.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Judge denies DHS bid to rush removal of Liam Ramos and his family Kristen Stenvik, superintendent of the district where Liam goes to school, said the ruling provides both β€œadditional time” and β€œcontinued uncertainty.”

Breaking MS NOW:

The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official.

At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance.

With the winter Olympics starting today in Italy, US athletes are being asked (by foreign journalists) how they feel about what ICE is doing.

Short answer, they are not happy and are ashamed as we are.

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan.

It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

Since the beginning of time, fear has been a tool used by oppressors. Trump is an oppressorβ€”also, a predator, abuser, convicted criminal, adjudicated rapist, (highly likely) child rapist, anti-America, UN-American and traitor of the worst ilk. We need to crack down on him and his traitorous regime.

Or how about this headline β€” β€œAmerican citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.
