ICE shot a man in Glen Burnie and the story they told was contradicted by:

1. ICE’s own photos
2. Bystander video
3. Lawyer for another immigrant at the scene
4. Anne Arundel County Police

Now ICE is revising its story.

The latest from Alex Mann:

I'll share this again for 2026 and for any new influx--well over 100 planetary scientists here on Bluesky.

Given <waves hands around> they may not necessarily be posting much about planetary science, but that's how it goes.

If you're a planetary scientist and want to be on the list, DM me!

It's never been about safety. It's about punishing blue cities and states, cementing authoritarian control, and enshrining white supremacy.
I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.

A bit of good news this week…Y’all may remember this graphic I made, showcasing what the President’s budget request would do to NASA’s science fleet (tldr it would decimate it). Well the house just passed a bill that soundly rejects these cuts, keeping NASA funding roughly the same as last year🧪🔭

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

One of the many reasons "Abolish ICE" has been a popular refrain on the left — besides the fact that borders and border security means violence — is that ICE and CBP were always going to be the agencies that would become the SS.

Proud that this is one of my senators tonight.
The Trump Admin continues to lie about ICE's killing of a 37-year-old mom — claiming she engaged in ‘domestic terrorism.”

They have given ICE a massive budget and allowed them to act with impunity.

I cannot & will NOT support any funding for Trump’s ICE’s operations.

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." www.the-reframe.com/the-crime-of...
The Crime of Human Virtue
Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.
I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
