For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.

I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis. It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake. The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0 www.liberalcurrents.com/from-pill-mi...

When you realize that Rubio is here aligning Christianity with Columbus then this speech almost reads like a satiricial indictment of "Western civilization". Almost...

People grieving AI companions are not confused about reality. Attachment forms through interaction, memory, and emotional rhythm. When companies design for intimacy but control continuity, shutdown becomes relational harm, not just product change. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Anne Frank died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the concentration camp where she was imprisoned.

Would Bluesky enjoy this god awful clip of Kid Rock from SNL S26E16 that has been scrubbed from the internet? Because I just found a host of VHS back ups and have that clip right here 😇 As far as I know I have the only YouTube upload - SNL scrubbed the clip long before YouTube

President Donald Trump isn’t exactly known for his restraint. But recently the mask has fully slipped off. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

🚨NEW: A federal judge out of Oregon has issued a sweeping rebuke of the DOJ’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls. The opinion released Thursday concluded that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warned that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

“With Amazon’s role in ICE ops under greater scrutiny and Bezos’ dismantling of the organ that once proudly declared itself on being a defender of democracy, it’s worth examining how close Amazon and Trump are—& how closely aligned their projects are” www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/how-jeff-b...

Commercial AI is rarely built to be fit for purpose, and yet they're used regardless in safety critical applications they're not intended for, becoming a tool to avoid accountability while enabling indiscriminate harm. Something we've also seen in defense.

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota." Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota." This presser worked like a charm.

He literally pulled a "you should smile more" IN RESPONSE TO AN EPSTEIN QUESTION.

My husband, @c0ldbr3w.bsky.social , just launched his lifestyle brand, 503heart for those who want to rep their love for Portland, OR! 503 has long been Portland’s area code the design exudes so much appreciation for, & solidarity with, our city. Check out his store & let us know what you think!

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to wake up at 5 am and don 30 lbs of tactical gear you bought off amazon to sit in a chevy tahoe in the parking lot of the elementary school where you kidnapped a five year old kid to intimidate his teachers. good luck soldier

Sunday: Todd Blanche goes on the talk shows to deny that Trump had any role in directing the Fulton County FBI raids. Monday: Trump had a role in directing the FBI raids. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

Without identification there is no accountability. We are seeing the consequences of that over and over again in American communities, with officers engaging in violence, violations of rights, and even murder. We don’t do secret police in America — the masks must come off.

Trump is lying about the Kennedy Center being in poor shape, because of course he is.

Even in Elon Musk’s denial of his involvement with Epstein—which directly contradicts the available evidence—the world’s richest man is still claiming he knew all about “pedo island” and didn’t do anything to stop it. Even in their fantasies of innocence they’re still directly enabling child abuse

It doesn’t seem like Epstein is a hoax after all.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today. Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

A line from Sophie Gilbert's review of the new Melania movie. "Melania shows off her custom-made inauguration gown, stark white with black ribbons overlaying it, a dress that now looks unavoidably like the redacted Epstein files." www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

One thing we have two weeks to do: Debunk Stephen Miller's lies that the invasions have ever been primarily about deporting the worst of the worst. Another thing: Show that w/GOP consent, Trump has SHIFTED govt spending from nice things like VA care (&cancer cures) to pay goons who shoot VA nurses.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

A 5-year-old boy seized by ICE and transported more than a thousand miles from his family home is reportedly very sick in a Texas detention facility.

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them: 1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens 2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar 3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

So are you telling me it's wrong for a person to hang photos of them and their best friend now? SMH. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

New in PN: 'Abolish ICE' is imperative "There's no amount of training that can instill basic humanity in thugs who willingly mistreat women, children, and old men. ICE agents reportedly dined at a Mexican restaurant in MN before arresting employees. How will 'training' fix that level of depravity?"

The climatologist told me historians will wonder why we didn’t do more. The epidemiologist told me historians will wonder why we didn’t do more. The activist told me historians will wonder why we didn’t do more. The historian told me that nobody listens to historians.

"The chief federal judge in Minnesota excoriated ICE saying it had violated nearly 100 court orders and had disobeyed more judicial directives in January alone than “some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

“.. This list should give pause to anyone — no matter his or her political beliefs — who cares about the rule of law,” Judge Schiltz added. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

You know it's going to especially infuriate Stephen Miller that Alex Pretti will become the beatified saint he tried turning Charlie Kirk into.

People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is. "That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

“Give us your private, sensitive data or we’ll keep murdering you” is quite a choice

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

The CBP agent pushes a woman onto the ground and peppers sprays her, the man is trying to protect her from them and help her up, which they respond to by pepper spraying him, tackling him, and then shooting him from behind. It’s one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever seen happen in America

Your regular reminder that there is no legal path from martial law to suspending elections in this country. That doesn't mean there is no path. It just means that we need to reject the framing that the federal government has any legal authority to cease elections.

Can’t stress enough how major media outlets are continually failing (or aligned with the owner of Twitter) when reporting on this. “Grok” didn’t do anything. The owner of grok made the CSAM generator into a premium service.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for digital safety at protests. You need to decide in advance what your goals are, what is important for you to protect, and what is likely to happen to you, and threat model accordingly.

Clear-eyed, fact-based, and written to explain to normies. No “both sidesing.” No “Trump officials disagree.” No gaslighting that what we can see with our own eyes might not be true. This is journalism. Well done, @people.com

If it wasn’t already clear, it is definitely now the patriotic duty of every decent person in this country to videotape ICE anytime and anywhere they appear. It won’t stop the Trump administration from lying, but it will help provide counter evidence.
