All. Of. This. From Jack White:

Current state of Republican Party politics: The president posted an image of the first black president and First Lady as apes; no one at the White House will publicly say that is not appropriate; the most likely person to face consequences is the party’s sole black senator — for calling it “racist.”

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked. When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

over the next 3 years, be ready for seeing a lot of coverage of Republican lawmakers, business leaders, university leaders who did absolutely nothing to stall Trump (on the contrary) — about how *actually* they were wringing their hands all along. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...

These 2 kids detained last week were brought back to MN today. But school officials say many others from the Columbia Heights district are missing. They're not sure if they're in ICE detention or have moved away with their families. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

They are worse than we are not

Take a look at this insane image the Illinois College Republicans posted and then read their statement about how they're not trying to excuse or glorify violence.

now let’s release all of the children

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

The Trump admin’s whole case regarding Haitians in Ohio is racism, xenophobia, and lies. There’s literally nothing else to it. Legal status, proper papers. No criminal record. Employers, neighbors, local leaders say they’re a benefit to the community. It’s showy, bigoted cruelty, nothing more.

I can officially confirm that the snow in NC is roughly one (1) corgi deep

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

My Senator Raphael Warnock voted for the Laken Riley Act, which requires the detention, without bond, of non-citizens who committed certain crimes, which has led to over 17,500 people being detained or turned over to ICE: www.warnock.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

(CNN) - The fast-growing measles outbreak in South Carolina is now the largest in the United States since the disease was declared eliminated in this country more than two decades ago. @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/h...

You gotta be a special kind of soulless piece of shit to support this and push for things like this. What about this is protecting or helping anyone? What are we doing as a country and people anymore?

I need everyone to see the video that radicalized me. The video I talked about in the Atlantic interview.

“You stole a fucking flower from a dead woman. Like, are any of you human anymore?”👇

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

It's not just that these professional politics observers somehow failed to spot the obvious rise of American nativist thuggery. It's how much energy they devoted to arguing the real problem was the volume, tone, and vocabulary of those raising the alarm about it.

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:

Drake Maye is the second youngest QB to start a Super Bowl at 23 years of age. Bill Belichick’s girlfriend is 24

As a long time fan of KFAN I won’t ever listen again until Paul Allen is fired. Making jokes about Minneapolis residents putting their lives on the line and sometimes losing them in order to defend our neighbors is immoral and wrong

This doctor tried to provide aid to the victim. They detail the deep sense of trauma they now feel.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984

“ICE > MN” is impeachable by itself.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

I told the young men in my life that I see the choice they have to make today and that I consider it the highest praise that I see them in the young man that was murdered and not in the young men that surrounded him and killed him. I see the choices they’ve made and they’re making good ones.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

The whole interview is worth it

Rep. Bennie Thompson demands the Senate vote against CBP and ICE funding and for the House to immediately take up the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

You: It can’t happen to me. The state: we looked into this white guy we killed and we do feel a need to bring up these parking tickets

The world should not come here. There should not be a World Cup here. I spoke out against the last World Cup because of concerns I had about human rights violations and it’s only right that I express the same concerns and condemnations now.

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

the nba postponed a game because the united states government is killing its citizens

For all the focus on Rambo cosplay, *this* is what an uprising looks like - masses of ordinary people coming out, seizing space and building barricades out of whatever the fuck they can find. It is incredibly difficult to subdue a city once ordinary people start doing this shit.
