Insight: Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.

Looking at the precinct results in TX's 9th Senate district election and the shift is a consistent ~40 points on margin vs 2022 in the outlying areas, matching the pattern of persuasion and Republican dropoff we've seen in special elections for the 2025-26 election cycle.

A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record:

“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

"Against smoke and rubber bullets
By the dawn’s early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good"
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

"Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs."
Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong
The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

"People are dying in American concentration camps, unseen. And people are being executed on American streets, seen by all of us. This is enough. The radical is the pragmatic. The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded."

"Trump has turned ICE into a sprawling paramilitary that roves the country at will, searches and detains noncitizens and citizens without warrants, uses force ostentatiously, operates behind masks, receives skimpy training, lies about its activities, and has been told it enjoys “absolute immunity.”
Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

"DHS—and those in the employ of ICE and CBP—are an affront to America. Masked armed paramilitary members running around American cities and brutalizing their populations is anathema to the American spirit that I’ve long believed in."

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

After several marathon sessions in Room 101 of the Ministry of Trump, the Republican member of Congress was beginning to see the strategic necessity of destroying NATO to add Greenland to the United States. It still came only in flashes. He was perspiring heavily, as was O’Brien.
Trump Is Extremely Clear About His Plan for Greenland—Er, Iceland?

"The only conclusive result from an intense week of heavy walking is: Any insole is better than no insole, and whichever one I believe is most effective will feel best to me, regardless of whether it actually is.

This is a peak example of what I call “placebo tech” in the wellness space."
This 3D-scanned insole is another example of placebo tech
If wellness tech works, is it legit or is it the placebo effect?
