In early February there were more than 750 families,
nearly half of them including children,
as well as some 370 single adult women
being held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in South Texas.
It is just one of many immigration centers across the country,
but the only one holding families.
Since the start of the Trump administration, the number of children in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention has skyrocketed,
-- increasing sixf…

The thing that Renee Good now knows, that Tortuguita knows, that Heather Heyer knows, that I only know because I glimpsed for a second, is that when you die fighting oppression you live forever in that memory of resistance. When we carve their names into a monument, along with all the other names of the murdered and disappeared, that will stand, perhaps, across from the statue of Willem in the park where the Northwest Detention Center once stood, they will always be reminders of what it looks like to sacrifice everything in order to be on the right side of history.
The names of those who resist live as ghosts, summoned by name to haunt future oppressors, summoned by name to awaken our own conscience to the call. Martyrs, whispered like the White Rose or yelled as a threat like John Brown, cannot die so long as any of us with a bit of spine carries even an ounce of humanity.
It is possible to die knowing you did the right thing, and I have felt it. There is an acceptance that is impossible to imagine without being there, without feeling it for yourself. You have nothing to fear in resisting, even if it ends you. But you will never forget the shame of doing nothing if you fail to.
Trump has been briefed in recent days on new options for
military strikes in Iran
as he considers following through on his threat to attack the country for cracking down on protesters,
according to multiple U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
Trump has not made a final decision,
but the officials said he was seriously considering authorizing a strike
in response to the Iranian regime’s efforts to suppress demonstrations

The first paragraphs of this article are big news (I think?? IANAL): the FBI tried to shut MN out of the investigation of ICE’s murder of Renee Good, which almost certainly is the start of a cover-up. Minnesota initially threw up its hands and said “well that sucks.”
Today we learn that Minnesota and Hennepin County are still gathering evidence themselves, apparently independently of the FBI. My hope is that this is in pursuit of state charges, in defiance of the Trump-controlled FBI.

NATO countries will launch a brand new operation in the Arctic this week,
following US claims that the island of Greenland is facing serious threats from China and Russia.
The Western military alliance is expected to launch "Arctic Sentry", three people with knowledge of the plans said,
in a move to deter foreign adversaries in the high north.
The decision, however, is widely interpreted as political rather than based on concrete security risks.
