Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

Be warned, indeed, as the autocrat will unleash his temper tantrums. But fight, stay strong, and do not capitulate.
So many of us here on the ground have been screaming but now that the media has moved on they are not reporting on it. Ice has not left. They have gotten more extreme and they are now doing things like this. They are hunting humans for sport
None of this has stopped its accelerated and gotten darker
Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations.
But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips.
No compromise.
As many of us here in Minneapolis have been saying Ice hasn’t left they have regrouped and refined the tactics they are using to hunt humans for sport
We were lied to so the death squads could work more effectively.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.
In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

![UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
MARK KELLY,
Plaintiff,
Civil Case No. 26-81 (RJL)
V.
PETE HEGSETH, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
February 12, 2026 [Dkt. #2]
United States Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, has been censured by
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for voicing certain opinions on military actions and
policy. In addition, he has been subjected to proceedings to possibly reduce his retirement
rank and pay and threatened with criminal prosecution if he continues to speak out on these
issues.
Secretary Hegseth relies on the well-established doctrine that military
servicemembers enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental
obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces. Unfortunately for Secretary
Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over
the military. This Court will not be the first to do so!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiclbgaenrhgnor6zvmnfql4d3olwzqp7zikm3maum5ylc4m6epys4)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA MARK KELLY, Plaintiff, Civil Case No. 26-81 (RJL) V. PETE HEGSETH, et al., Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION February 12, 2026 [Dkt. #2] United States Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, has been censured by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for voicing certain opinions on military actions and policy. In addition, he has been subjected to proceedings to possibly reduce his retirement rank and pay and threatened with criminal prosecution if he continues to speak out on these issues. Secretary Hegseth relies on the well-established doctrine that military servicemembers enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces. Unfortunately for Secretary Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over the military. This Court will not be the first to do so!
Worse still, Secretary Hegseth contends that this Court is not yet competent to decide the issues in this case. He and his fellow Defendants argue that military personnel 1 Case 1:26-cv-00081-RJL Document 37 Filed 02/12/26 Page 2 of 29 decisions are exempt from judicial review and, in any event, that Senator Kelly should first be required to go through the military appeals process so the military can have the first crack at adjudicating his First Amendment rights. I disagree. This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees. After all, as Bob Dylan famously said, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." To say the least, our retired veterans deserve more respect from their Government, and our Constitution demands they receive it! Senator Kelly's First Amendment claim is not only justiciable; he is likely to succeed on the merits. He has also shown irreparable harm, and the balance of the equities fall decidedly in his favor. As such, his motion for a preliminary injunction on his First Amendment claim is hereby GRANTED.
BREAKING: Judge blocks Hegseth effort to punish Sen. Kelly.
"This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees."

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.”
Works for me.
Gross. The idea that she could be pardoned is shameful. Trump is disgusting.
Everyone should Probably be listening to the people talking about this because it’s very very very important to understand how this is all functioning to recuperate power and solidify fascism. bsky.app/profile/wiho...
We have ongoing daily fascist terrorist raids across the city in federal agents, kicking indoors and disappearing people out of their cars on the street. Nothing has changed, except that the media and the federal government have pacified much of the nation and the use of fascist death squads.
As myself and others within the academic and research world have been clearly pointing out this has all been counterinsurgency, not actual on the ground changes
Elite media is helping to amplify that counter insurgency propaganda in place of the reality that nothing on the ground here has changed
From Epstein to Bezos, the ruling class is rotten to the core. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
No funding for ICE or other terrorist organizations. It's that simple.

We’re allowing them to stun us into submission. No mass rebellion, only capitulation.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Corporatist fascism, plain and simple.
DHS is trying to get tech companies to hand over data on Trump critics.
This is unconstitutional, and Congress must shut it down, before we turn into East Germany.

Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.
The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!
Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files.
The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time.
How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
Vance: There was a moment in the Oval Office, I wasn't even in there, but Trump was talking to Kaitlan Collins. Trump says, 'Why don't you ever smile?' And it's actually, like, so perceptive. Have some fun.
What a tone deaf asshat. The country is coming apart. Girls and boys victimized by Trumpenstein et al. Families torn apart by ICE. People murdered by federally sponsored terrorism paid for by our misspent tax dollars. The next time I’ll have fun is when these shitheads leave DC in shackles.
-If ICE is in your neighborhood, set off your car alarm from the safety of your home.
-Start planning community gardens
-Sustained boycotts work
-Look for the Helpers
Just look at the shit the Pedo Party is pulling now:
