Is there any time, place, or context in which a government hanging enormous banners of the Leader’s face was not a sign of a diseased and authoritarian society? Because I certainly can’t think of one.

Nuremberg trials for this whole regime

1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here. For trans adults, Kansas is the newest "Do Not Travel" warning, only the 3rd state to achieve that warning. For youth, a change to the map increases risk to Medium in many states. Nationwide risk remains extreme. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The current Court majority is a classic captured court. The Justices pick the outcome they want, and work backwards from there, inventing and disregarding legal theories on the fly in the process.

DAILY MEMO: ICE Used 14 Vehicles to Take 6 People from Rancho Cucamonga Courthouse

Democracy Docket is hiring! We currently have eight openings, including a newsletter editor and a weekend reporter. Come work with us!

a man in Oklahoma was speaking out against a data center in his community. He went a few seconds over time and the city had him arrested for trespassing

DOJ claims there's no evidence of retalation. "How do you say there's no evidence?" Lamberth says, noting an inmate's sworn affidavit claiming retaliation. "That is contempt of this court if that happened," Lamberth says, asking why there was no investigation of the claims before today.

with batteries at $100/kWh and wholesale solar at $400/kW, you could buy 5 KW of solar and 15 kWh of batteries for the price of building 1 KW of this gas plant... and that’s before the cost of gas to keep the thing running

Tom Paine, the author of Common Sense ((1776), proposed a system of progressive taxation in 1792, before Karl Marx was even born. bsky.app/profile/seth...

Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

All right, I got mad enough to write a full post about all this:

To my knowledge, no ICE Enforcement and Removal officer has ever been shot by an immigrant. Might be wrong but I don’t think so.

Historian Kevin Kruse (@kevinmkruse.bsky.social) got irked about Musk banging on about how our multicultural society is a Bad Thing, and consequently wrote this screamingly fantastic little gem. Provides badly needed perspective especially for folks who don't know much about the US decades ago.

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.

It's pretty fucking embarrassing -- damning, even -- that a U.S. scandal driven by U.S. elites is visiting consequences upon people in other countries while those most responsible for it continue to hold positions of the absolute highest power in America. Trash country.

ICE raids parking lots of corporations’ stores Never their corporate headquarters

Me too. I want every member of the Epstein class to be unable to stop thinking about experiencing Epstein's fate themselves.

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

Why does someone who overstayed their visa need to be held in shackles? Does any child belong in a prison camp? Does anybody deserve to be underfed, or brutalized, or denied medical care? presswatchers.org/2026/02/the-...

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

Why is that no one talks about this fraud? Deepak Chopra is there in videos on the Epstein Island. He is Epstein's personal guru and spiritual leader. Trading "cute aggressive Israeli blonde" girls... 🤮 Why is Apple still carrying him as the #1 mindfullness bs? voiceofsandiego.org/2026/02/05/d...

Here's How Democrats Can Resist Trump Even as a Minority Instead of playing possum or the usual politics, former Republican strategist Kurt Bardella recommends Democrats give the spotlight to Epstein's survivors and victims of ICE after Trump's SOTU. thelefthook.substack.com/p/heres-how-...

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

AOC on Elon Musk:

“I reject the lie that deporting my neighbor is how I win better pay and working conditions. We’re fighting for a country where families stay together without living in terror, so we’re ALL better off!”

It would take the average household around 100,000 YEARS to make as much money as Donald Trump gave to Amazon last year.

Can you imagine a worse way to persuade people that you will fight for them than agreeing to abandon your most vulnerable friends at the slightest provocation from the playground's meanest bully? I can't.

"Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world," the Jackson family said in a statement. "We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family." Rest in peace #Pinks

This white girl says Jesse Jackson was done wrong by Schumer and the national Democrats. His Rainbow Coalition was radical and exactly what we needed. I'd fight for a new rainbow coalition.

This wasn't an AI but at a job a while back we used a task management app to coordinate what was getting done and when. My bosses eventually were pretty ticked off that a large amount of things hadn't been done. The accounts weren't synching. Could have caught that if we'd spoken to each other.

Democracy dies in lies! We don’t have a voter fraud problem. We have a voter suppression problem. Try to earn our votes rather than trying to make it harder for voters! #votingrights.

Epstein's Eugenics Project: How the Billionaire Promoted His Racist Ideas Through Intellectual Circles With @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

SICKENING: "The White House has called on U.S.C.I.S. to initiate between a hundred and two hundred 'denaturalization' cases each month, which consists of stripping naturalized citizens of their existing legal status."👇

Every story out of Dilley makes me think of Rep. McIver asking DHS officials: "Do you think you're going to hell?"

Open the borders. Abolish the police. Tax corporations. Criminalize billionaires. Reform the Supreme Court. Prosecute the Nazis. Release the unredacted files.

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Nope, we the People will NEVER stop demanding the #EpsteinFiles #Epstein #TrumppIsAPedo

1. I would vote for anyone who could win a Democratic primary in 2028 2. I will vote for the most credible left candidate in the primary 3. The two-party system is bad and we should replace it with proportional representation 4. The presidency is bad and we should replace it with a Prime Minister

Sorry your health insurance costs so much more this year, we needed to make fancy airplanes for illiterate dog-murderers
