“That’s how brazen they lie when they know we’ve seen the truth… Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them… There is nothing more dangerous to a regime predicated on lies than witnesses who capture the truth.” Jon Stewart on Alex Pretti bsky.app/profile/alan...

“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong… With such a people, you can do whatever you want.” Hannah Arendt

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes… Families are torn apart. Men, women and children are separated.“ The Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943 bsky.app/profile/just... bsky.app/profile/carl...

Jen uses the right term here. "Ethnic cleansing." It is the goal of Trump, Vance, Miller and the entire white Christian nationalist cabal. It is not about immigration. It is about racism.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

🚨 RELEASE THE NAMES OF ALL THE CHILD SEXUAL PREDATORS!!! 🚨

Kerryman who is married, living and working legally in the United States for >20 years has been incarcerated by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) since September 2025. Profoundly disturbing report by Karlin Lillington @klillington.bsky.social www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.” (Published Dec. 2025)

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in: - Hagerstown, MD: $102 million - Surprise, AZ: $70 million - Hamburg, PA: $87 million - Tremont, PA: $120 million - San Antonio, TX: $82 million - El Paso, TX: $123 million - Social Circle, GA: price unknown This is unprecedented.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

“FBI concluded Epstein wasn’t running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men” Bondi and Patel should both resign. Today. What a fucking disgrace. apnews.com/article/jeff...

@cnn.com if you are going to quote a convicted rapist & sex trafficker of little girls, that you are aware lied her way to her felony convictions, can you at least put facts in your headline?

They never seem to be familiar with the truly bad stuff.

This is what "Christian Nationalists" stand for.

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."

And to be clear, this was in the occupied West Bank, not the occupied-and-genocided Gaza Strip.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer says his client will only speak if Trump grants her clemency

Rep. Stansbury: “The United States government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex trafficking scandal and influence peddling scandal in the history of the United States, and Donald Trump is right at the center of it.”

We rewatched the halftime show and the closing is so powerful. Bad Bunny’s final messages during his Super Bowl performance: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” “Together, we are America.”

The survivors standing in front of the Capitol twice is why Rep. Thomas Massie & I were able to pass the Epstein Transparency Act. Tomorrow, Massie and I will go together to DOJ to see the unredacted files. We will not rest until the Epstein class is brought to justice.

There’s more. His missing cell phone ended up at a pawn shop. Wonder how it got there. 🤔

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

Portland mayor: "To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. "To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children..." content.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORP...

Schiff on Gabbard's involvement in Georgia: "All of this is intended to send a message and the message is, 'We will not tolerate or accept an election that we lose.' That's why in these budget discussions we need to make sure, among other things, that we don't have ICE agents at polling places."

Schiff on the SAVE Act: "Jonathan, what you've just asked is essentially, Republicans have created distrust in the elections by making claims of nonexistent fraud, and shouldn't we use the distrust they've created in order to enact a voter suppression law?"

“Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority view—that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”

The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas concentration camp where she was denied access to medications, after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress, according to a federal lawsuit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Trump said for years he'd make his tax returns public if he weren't under audit. Now he wants $10 billion dollars in "compensation" for something he said was no big deal.

SWORN TESTIMONY!!! June 18, 2016 "I personally witnessed defendant trump telling the plaintiff that she shouldn't ever say anything if she didn't want to dissappear like the 12 year old female ⬛️⬛️⬛️ and that he was capable of having her whole family killed."
