Half of Americans do not have passports; getting one costs at least $165, plus photos, and requires … a birth certificate or certificate of naturalization. trib.al/JUjTUWP

We really don't talk about Aramark and Sodexo enough.

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

🚨 SHARE: Unsuspecting voters are being misled about the SAVE Act’s effects on their vote. Only 5 states have qualifying EDL IDs. Nevada in its purpleness is particularly susceptible. But all voters need to understand what happens next if SAVE passes as is. @nevadacurrent.com @statesnewsroom.com

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

A Gulag Archipelago under our very noses.

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

The Republican party doesn't want women to vote because women are more likely to vote Democratic than men so they have came up with this scheme called the Save Act.The name sounds like it's patriotic voter protection. But what it really does is disenfranchise women & impose a poll tax.

Such bullshite.

ICE has killed 9 people so far in the first 25 days of 2026. Alex Pretti Renee Good Keith Porter Heber Sanchaz Domínguez Victor Manuel Diaz Parady La Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres Geraldo Lunas Campos They all deserve remembrance and justice.

Holy shit. This speaks volumes about the midterms ahead.

Why do psychopaths like this even go to medical school? www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

"I doubt Senator Kelly will see this blog, and if he does see it, I imagine he will not be pleased with it. He’ll probably find it embarrassing. His humility likely makes him bristle at stuff like this. Well, that’s just too damn bad, Senator."

Fcking thieves!

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

UK’s largest proposed datacentre ‘understating planned water use’

Trump’s War on Woke.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

If you want Pete Hegseth to be able to kill anybody he wants anytime he wants while serving up “trust me bro” as justification with zero oversight from Congress, who gives the Trump admin a blank check to do whatever it wants, then vote for the cowardly Republican enablers.

Holy crow. Hegseth is an actual psychopath.

Terrific

To be clear, the only reason the orange felon and fascist republicans are suddenly in support of releasing the Epstein Files is because bribe for hire Pam Bondi and lunatic Kash Patel spent months scrubbing all damaging info about him. The cover up is what they were waiting for.

Donny is demanding that the DOJ pay him $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him. The dude who singlehandedly controls the government is demanding it pay him a quarter of a billion dollars of our tax money as restitution for having been caught committing crimes.

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

“A transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers” is, quite literally, the EXACT phenomenon that Hannah Arendt was referring to when she coined the phrase “the banality of evil.”

Farmers are destroying crops they can't sell due to trump's policies & tariffs while federal workers line up at food banks & SNAP gets cut. We have food rotting in fields & people going hungry, not because of scarcity, but because of trump's policies. He is trying to starve us into submission.

A reminder the media as well as many pundits pretending to be experts gave the MAGA regime and the orange convicted felon an overwhelming amount of praise for his so called ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas and it only lasted 6 days. Normalizing him has doomed us all.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Remember, the Supreme Court okay’d this without explanation on the shadow docket

Kristi Noem even complaining that ICE agents aren't being allowed on private property is inappropriate. We have a 3rd amendment for a reason. We do not owe government employees with gun a space in our homes or businesses when they aren't even paying customers!

The fact that Mike "Little" Johnson and the rest of MAGA are so terrified of what's inside the Epstein files that they will not seat Adelita Grijalva, who won by a landslide, tells you it's not Democrats in the Epstein files. It's MAGA.

Trump moved to STRIP minimum wage & O/T protections from workers He KILLED a plan to stop employers paying disabled workers LESS THAN the $7.25ph His BBB will deliver the largest TRANSFER of WEALTH from WORKING-CLASS to the ULTRA WEALTHY www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

The President of the United States wants to kill citizens whenever he feels like it. He'll call them a name or two and make up some "reason" after the fact, and the corporate media will unquestioningly run with it.

Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet. 🧵

The people who reflexively say that everything happening in the news every day is just a distraction from the Epstein files are allowing themselves to get distracted by the Epstein files from many other things that are incredibly important also.

FBI Director Kash Patel has fired former acting director Brian Driscoll, who refused to turn over the names of FBI agents who investigated the January 6th attack on the Capitol. REPOST if you stand with Driscoll against Patel and tRump!

Chris Buskirk—who co-founded the Thiel-backed Rockbridge Network w/ JD Vance—is a director of American Reformer whose editor, Timon Cline, wants SCOTUS to destroy the wall between church & state. Cline is also employed by New Saint Andrews College (founded by Doug Wilson) 1/ youtu.be/gXWiLJWyciA
