-no showers for over 40 days.
-lights kept on all night & people sleep on concrete floors.
-complaining of hunger ~ Rep. Jim McGovern

Our brothers. Look at them. Look at how they are begging for help. Putting their hands together "please help us" 😭

THIS IS NOT OK!

I don’t give a FUCK about anyone’s opinion on immigration at this point. THIS IS INHUMANE. THIS IS WRONG. PERIOD. THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN SAY TO JUSTIFY THIS TREATMENT. THESE ARE HUMAN BEINGS. THEIR LIVES MATTER. Fuck ANYONE who supports this.

You could tell an American this was filmed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and they’d believe you. It’s Tehran.

[ProfTalmadge @ProfTalmadge]

This is a technical story with stunning strategic implications. It is quite possible the US launched a massive war because Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff lacked the technical expertise to even understand what the Iranians were offering in negotiations. Absolute idiocy.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked our bipartisan War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump's illegal war of choice against Iran.

They chose fealty to Trump over our troops' lives.

NEW: In a closed-door Vatican meeting last November, Pope Leo XIV told Spain’s bishops that the greatest threat to the nation was not secularism — but the far right.

The reporting from El País comes as Leo was already confronting the Trump–Vance White House over migrants and war — and as parts of the global right have revived nostalgia for the late Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. https://t.co/PTs2fVtn5m

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Here is the newly-unsealed State Department memo confirming -- finally -- that the detention of Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk was based on an op-ed.

No antisemitic activity. No support of terrorism.

An op-ed in a student newspaper.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Gavin Newsom just announced that California will be the first state to join the World Health Organization.

This is in direct defiance of Donald Trump, who just pulled the United States out of the organization.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 CONFIRMED: ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minnesota and put her on a plane to Texas despite a judge’s order requiring her release, per the Star Tribune.

Read that again.

A court order said release the toddler… and ICE said no.

This is state-sanctioned kidnapping with a boarding pass.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Gavin Newsom at Davos: "Greg Bovino -- dressed up as if he literally went on eBay and purchased SS garb. Secret police, private army, masked men, people disappearing quite literally, no due process ... so is it surprising that the Trump administration didn't like my commentary and wanted to make sure I wasn't allowed to speak? No."

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

“The United States government under Trump has made a deliberate, calculated, and shameful decision to embolden and enable Nazi-glorifying elements within his party; to elevate and amplify Nazi messaging”

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

The Sheriff in Cumberland County in Maine said that ICE took one of their black Corrections recruits that’s a U.S citizen & you can & him telling them who he is and where his ID his & they piled on him instead! They all need to be arrested! Now everyone is seeing what’s happening

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning report, CNN just analyzed all the ways Donald Trump and his family have profited from his Presidency. This is insane

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

A serious question: why does Israel still hold a seat at the United Nations while it openly bulldozes UN facilities, undermines humanitarian work, and violates the very charter the UN is supposed to uphold?

[Winter @LeftyWinter]

7 Democrats.

Jared Golden
Henry Cuellar
Laura Gillen
Don Davis
Tom Suozzi
Marie Glusenkamp Perez
Vicente Gonzalez

All voted to give ICE more money.

[Steve Grove @grove]
