1. In 2025, 32 people died in ICE custody. That figure was the largest in more than two decades and tied for the highest number of deaths among ICE’s detainee population ever. 2026 is only three weeks old, and it’s already shaping up to be much worse.

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time. The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets. I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

This was all pre planned. Project 2025 states that they want justification to declare martial law by pushing protestors to violence so they can further curb our rights. So, keep filming. Keep protesting. Stay peaceful. Power to the people! ✊ #NOKINGS #SHAME

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

There will be a generation of PTSD - "When private companies are given contracts to care for prisoners, substandard care is guaranteed. They are motivated by greed and the contract goes to the lowest bidder. Conditions are plenty bad in publicly funded prisons, but worse in privately funded ones."

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption:

On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm
I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.
