The time for mincing words and normalizing his ethnic cleansing campaign (disguised as “immigration policy”) is over. Trump is a racist. His party tolerates if it does not actively endorse his racism. Those who normalize him enable racism. His agenda is racist open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint www.wsj.com/business/med...

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

The immigration crackdown in Minnesota has affected nearly every aspect of daily life, including the health of many residents. https://to.pbs.org/3Mwl4zu

Get on the phone and post this all over your socials, folks. We must stop the SAVE (white supremacy) act.

Ghislaine Maxwell knows what's in the Epstein Files, but she stayed silent about the men who raped & trafficked women & kids.   Why? What is she hiding? Who is she protecting?   But with Trump giving her special treatment in a low-security prison, she has no reason to cooperate.

1. Chappell Roan says she is no longer represented by the Wasserman agency, which is owned by major Democratic donor and LA Olympics chairman Casey Wasserman. This comes after emails between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell were revealed in the last Epstein files dump.

That’s the smell of social cohesion in the air, and eyes and throats, I guess. This is so predictable. “Australia news live: Police use pepper spray as Sydney protesters attempt to march; thousands rally in Melbourne to oppose Isaac Herzog’s visit” www.theguardian.com/aust%E2%80%9...

Translation: I had way too much ketamine today.

Researchers estimate that the life expectancy for people forced to work in cane fields was mid 20s. They were slaughterhouses. Being sent to one was functionally a death sentence.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is the country I want!!!

🚨 An 86 page memo the DOJ deleted from the Epstein files exposing heavily implicated powerful perpetrators/co-conspirators. This substacker lays it out for us. substack.com/@redactedrep...

The worst joke you can think of and it's true.

Are you still on X? If yes, why?

There has been no de-escalation in Minneapolis/St. Paul. In fact, all reputable reports say that things have escalated without the mainstream media there. Please keep calling out their behavior. @governorwalz.mn.gov This is happening on your watch. You are either for or against the people.

How can any prosecutor worth his salt suggest in light of evidence like this Epstein did not run a sex-trafficking ring? Todd Blanche needs to step down. And Patel. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

"Fifteen months after they began talks for their first union contract, more than 900 professors at New York University will begin voting on whether to authorize a strike on Monday, Feb. 9." @uawregion9a.bsky.social www.work-bites.com/view-all/nyu...

Cruelty is the goal of this administration Putting a child who's recovering back into detention proves it Did you vote for this? Will you choose it again?

If ICE gets even one of these facilities fully up and running, it’ll immediately be the second-largest jail in the country behind only Rikers Island.

This is so sad...and preventable.

BOUIE: “.. I try to avoid superlatives in my writing, but there is simply no question that this is the most flagrant display of presidential racism since Woodrow Wilson screened D.W. Griffith’s ‘The Birth of a Nation’ in the White House in 1915.” @jamellebouie.net www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure. Her whereabouts & health are now unknown. The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

Wow!

What the hell?!?!?

URGENT: Can you help? Heard on NPR originally: "the U.S. State Department will soon begin deleting all State Department tweets posted before January 20, 2025. Not archiving them publicly. Not moving them to a legacy account. Deleting them. Timeline: unknown."

As the Trump administration goes about expelling asylum seekers without due process and against federal court orders, international groups charged with upholding basic protections for migrants buckle under the pressure. From @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Speak up, folks. Now is the time.

May they rot in the hell they are creating.

Susan Collins had better be more than concerned about this! If you live in Maine or you know someone who lives in Maine please call your reps on the daily!

Our senators could put a stop to this. Ask them why they won't.

Stacey Abrams - "It's the implicit threat." The specter of violence. Keep speaking up in every way you can.

Oh look, there's fElon. Let's deport him.

This is a blockbuster report. Last spring, the National Security Agency (NSA) detected evidence of an unusual phone call between an individual associated with foreign intelligence and a person close to Donald Trump, according to a whistleblower’s attorney briefed on the existence of the call.

The biggest loser. To be fair, we the people stand to lose the most but we were warned for decades: the only kind of business he's good at is grifting and mismanaging.

Despite reports in the mainstream media DHS has not de-escalated their assault on Minneapolis/St. Paul and elsewhere. Keep the pressure on!

The International Olympic Committee ruled that an image of Toussaint Louverture, born into slavery and and leader of the Haitian Revolution, on Haiti’s uniforms violated Olympic rules barring political symbolism

We’ve seen lots of reports of legal observers being arrested in North Minneapolis, South Minneapolis, and Eden Prairie. Exercising your first amendment right to observe is not a crime. This is exactly why congress can’t give another penny to DHS.

Send this to all of your elected representatives. Then call them and leave a voicemail.
