ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of women who killed their abusers. Why are nearly all of them still in prison? With @nytimes.com

EXCLUSIVE: Military commanders aren’t just preaching “Armageddon” in the Iran war… The Military Religious Freedom Foundation tells me that after the first U.S. bombs fell Saturday, some commanders scheduled emergency …… Bible studies for Sunday.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it: Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

NEW: When asked if top aide Corey Lewandowski has “a role in approving contracts,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem replied, “No.” But internal DHS records contradict her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. By @josh-kaplan.bsky.social @justinelliott.bsky.social

Look, pragmatism demands you vote for a freakish white republican like Gavin Newsome because he can deliver votes in difficult areas, unlike radical tankies like *reads carefully* this bible scholar in North Carolina who obliterated his opponent.

You don't push back on this by demanding a new law. Demanding a new law actually suggests to the public that this idea isn't already protected by our most fundamental laws. You push back on this by demanding the EXPULSION of legislators like Mike Johnson who are openly disparaging the Constitution.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

EVERYTHING IS THE LEFTS FAULT! Oh the nazis are getting more nazified? its because the left oversimplified white supremacy oh men are lonely and becoming nazis? its those leftists bitches oh the democrats ran on genocide and cops and lost? its those traitor leftists

Update: The federal indictment against Kyle Wagner confirms our reporting, that Wagner was arrested and charged with cyberstalking right-wing agitator Jayden Scott (who allegedly stalked a Minnesota reporter before this) and NOT federal agents. /

“She overheard one immigration officer tell another that if she had been 10 years old, they would have been able to keep her separated from her mom.”

Said this before, but it bears repeating: if you are in a signal group and you do not personally know every person in that group, under no circumstances should you EVER say anything incriminating. Some things you only talk about with friends. Other things you simply do not talk about online.

🚨 ICE is authorized to covertly infiltrate and interact with social media accounts under a new program called "masked engagement," per documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

The intention of policies like this proposal is to introduce so much friction, so much pain, so much discomfort and humiliation, that a child desists rather than continue to assert their true identity. It is nothing less than conversion therapy being written into school policy.

I don’t think enough people know that the GOP’s “Save America Act” would establish voter purge programs using data systems that experts say are unreliable. These systems reek of DOGE & thus of Elon Musk who is *heavily* promoting the Act. Thread.

Another shooting case falls apart (this time ICE, not CBP). These are the Venezuelans that ICE excused shooting by claiming they beat him w/shovels. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is the key point - it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.

The Trump administration has revoked the bedrock scientific determination which gives the government the ability to regulate climate-heating pollution. The move was described as a gift to “billionaire polluters” at the expense of Americans’ health.

I lose a lot of sleep over the idea that Homan might manage to convince Senate Dems that - unlike that uncouth Bovino - he is a gentleman's fascist and can be trusted with the only thing they care about, Bringing The Temperature Down™️, causing Schumer to hang up the "Mission Accomplished "banner

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

BREAKING: The EPA revokes scientific finding that greenhouse gases endanger the public health, removing a key basis for the climate change fight.

This is all performative bullshit. Believe it when you don't see ICE in Minneapolis/Saint Paul anymore.

SCOOP: An FBI counterterrorism agent spent weeks pursuing a nonviolent climate activist, and showed up at his door. The visit suggests a possible probe into the climate group as the Trump admin increases surveillance of activists, calls them domestic "terrorists." theintercept.com/2026/02/12/f...

They showed they’re willing and able to selectively charge ppl for political purposes and the court showed us they’re active facilitators and collaborators in all of that, eroding any notion they administer a fair system or are concerned at all with justice. So who lost exactly?

On one side we have a dedicated community organizer with six months probation and on the other side we have a police dept spending two days showing us they collaborated with ICE, will do so in the future, don’t follow their own use of force policies, don’t know what de-escalation means don’t care

Furious that Henry Cuellar voted to pass the SAVE Act and put your right to vote at serious risk? Then channel that anger into supporting one of his primary candidates. Dem primaries in Texas are less than 3 weeks away, so if you want him gone, now is the time to act.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Pam Bondi

She is out of her depth is more ways than one.

So they can sue for $10 billion now, right?

Andrew Paul Johnson, who I wrote about in November, was found guilty of five charges.

also IF the AI doomerism was correct and we are in the process of building literal Skynet the ONLY ethical way forward would be to deploy lethal military violence against the AI industry and it's researchers worldwide. If you aren't suggesting that, you don't believe this is end-the-world serious.

🚨 The Department of Justice is monitoring the search history as members of Congress navigate the unredacted Epstein Files

This is utterly deranged behavior from a U.S. attorney general

Trump’s EPA is moving to scrap a landmark emissions policy as part of its deregulatory agenda, a shift that would also gut a key legal foundation for combating global warming.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans are considering a new judicial requirement that would let Trump skirt court orders for a short time — for the small price of nationwide legal pandemonium. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Please call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote NO on the GOP’s voter suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act.” If you do make the call, please reply with a ✅ bc it will encourage others to do the same, & I want to thank you personally. Thanks!

Bondi is now just straight up ignoring questions from Democratic members

the burden of proof is on the mother-fucker asserting something.

There’s gotta be a German word for the cursed experience of reading the Fulton County affidavit after reporting on the 2020 election in extreme detail. Even redacted, every niche witness jumps out—many conspiracy theorists with no real expertise. The US government treating them as credible is nuts.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

1. ICE is saying REAL ID licences don't count 2. I routinely go for walks without my wallet 3. "If you have have your papers why do you care" is an unamerican response to becoming an 'Ihre Papiere, bitte' society

i am increasingly bothered by terms like "showdown" or "face-off" or "clash" when used to describe corrupt and fascist power coming up against resistance because there's an implied symmetry that does not exist.

“If we’re going to say it’s OK to kill so-called terrorists in the Caribbean, for actions that have traditionally been dealt with as a criminal matter... what’s to say you can’t do the same in an American city?” @scanlon.house.gov told @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/02/02/t...
