My old college classmate, a part-time TikTok influencer, just openly wondered on Instagram whether something's wrong with her TikTok algorithm.
TikTok's sale to the Ellisons has been finalized. The best time to delete the app from your phones was yesterday; the second-best time to do it is now.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

Trump regime ICE forces are mutilating unarmed civilians. Regime forces are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range, causing severe injuries that can result in permanent disability or death. Today, they tore off part of a woman’s hand. #3E #GoodvsEvil

You have to connect a few dots, but basically two people have been shot to death to get you to stop talking about the Epstein files.

A number of responders were quite opposed to the idea of giving ridealongs to The Atlantic (I understand their frustration with the outlet).
But I drove these guys around for two hours and they witnessed abductions, confrontations with the public, tear-gassings.
The lesson: let the world see.

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)

Looks like the guy who murdered him had a clear view of his empty holster.
The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

205. Chief Judge Schiltz and the Department of Justice
Every federal judge (and justice) should read the two letters from Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz in the church protest case—and what they tell us about the Department of Justice's litigation behavior.

FPS is Federal Protective Services, another agency under the DHS umbrella. They’re supposed to be deployed to protect federal facilities.
This thread is documenting what is happening at a Marriott, where a noise demonstration was underway to protest the presence of ICE/CBP reportedly staying there:

Minneapolis, MN -
Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

Americans must be eyes wide open that blocking the DHS funding bill will not shut down ICE.
ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap, whether or not we pass a funding bill.

Federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences.
I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands.
The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that.
I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.

Right wing influencers spent a whole day trying to convince everyone this was a good shoot.
Meanwhile, Trump won’t say he supports it, and ICE sources are telling Fox News that it’s a bad shoot and the admin’s (Miller, Noem, Vance) messaging isn’t helping.
