❝ The killing of my three colleagues (on Jan. 21) shatters any illusion of ‘post-war’ safety. But the honor of their work and the memory of their laughter cannot be erased. ❞ — Ibtisam Mahdi @972mag.com tinyurl.com/4tyz47ka

Yes they should.

This is how democracy ends.

democracy dies when you are actively trying to kill it!!

Ted Lieu: “I went to Minneapolis, St. Paul & met with nonprofit groups & local law enforcement — their stories of abuse are horrific — you have Trump's ICE completely being out of control. But we also know that the public pressure is working — the Trump administration is starting to backtrack”

An open letter Jeff Bezos and Washington Post leadership:

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

The guy that just had his goons seize ballots from the 2020 elections is asking us to get on to something else. Hmm... how about no?? www.salon.com/2026/02/03/g...

Explain to me like I'm a four year old. How does slamming a woman onto the concrete, pepper spraying onlookers and running away make us any safer?

We can’t have someone enforcing the law who isn’t even following the law himself. The American people deserve to know if Tom Homan took $50k from an FBI undercover agent and what he did with the money.

Stop asking if they’re “rigging the election.” They. Already. Are. But the most dangerous part isn’t the mechanics. It’s the message. They’re doing it in public to make you swallow the real lie: That voting is pointless. If they can get you to quit before Election Day… they don’t even have to win.

Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff and puppet master, is complaining about unelected judges making rulings he doesn’t like. Funny, I don’t recall Stephen Miller getting elected to any office. He didn’t even have to be nominated and confirmed for his position. Pot. Kettle. Black.

Joseph Lyle Menendez and Erik Galen Menendez, commonly referred to as the Menendez brothers, are American brothers convicted of killing their parents, José and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menendez, in their Beverly Hills home in 1989.

This evening's thought to ponder from Maggies Farm.

Every week it's something new. Epstein, ICE, grift, destroy another American institution. It's fukkin exhausting and it doesn't seem like anyone, R or D is doing a damn thing about it. I think we're gonna have to save ourselves, no one is coming to help. I'll never give up the fight, we can do this!

👹

Our Supreme Court gave Trump immunity from prosecution. John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. They ARE responsible for the entire Trump nightmare they turned loose on America. Including killing our elections. LET THAT SINK IN!

For those keeping score at home:

This is the type of letter you write and make public when you’ve discovered that the CIA is up to no good and can’t be trusted—and you have no confidence the people in charge care.

INVOKE THE 25TH AMENDMENT. He's too out of control & the "puppet" congress is enabling him. Every time he opens his mouth, "insanity" rolls off his tongue. His cruelty, disrespect, corruption, lawlessness unprecedented. He's destroying the country. He is a true and present danger. It is time .....

TOMORROW: Get trained on the tools you need to exercise your constitutional right to monitor ICE and other federal agencies as they terrorize our communities. Over 200,000 people joined last week’s ICE watch training. Let’s make this call even bigger: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Really proud of New Mexico! www.koat.com/article/immi...

How can we turn the page on Epstein when we still haven't been given all of the pages and those we have been given have been severely redacted?

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

While there have always been dubious pardons for political cronies, “unprecedented” doesn’t begin to describe how Donald Trump has corrupted the power of presidential forgiveness.

Moulton: This is state-sponsored terror. This is what you would expect to see in North Korea or Iran or the old Soviet Union. We’ve got to crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.

He’s the stupid people’s President.

At this point, some leaked videos might help.

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

Wow: This appears to be a draft statement written by Ghislaine Maxwell in which she addresses allegations made against her and Prince Andrew by Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell appears to confirm that the photo is real and admits that Epstein committed crimes—contradicting her sworn testimony.

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets. Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract. And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts. Always follow the money.
